| Abstract: | The topic of this chapter is why one cannot preserve languages. There is much I would like to say and much I have said on this issue but I shall concentrate on one issue which I believe is crucial: Linguists have operated with a concept of language that is ill-suited to the business of reversing the decline of the world's linguistic diversity and indeed may be one of the causes that accelerates it. |
