An interesting article/review about Claude Hagège's, On the Death and Life of Languages (Yale UP, 2009).

Enjoy!

Thanks... Feb 27, 2010

.... for posting this. It was very interesting, since languages from two of my countries were mentioned, in the context of the whole. I shall return to Hagège again some time when I do a lecture at my college.

I have children married to Norwegians, but only one of the families is succeeding in a blingual "mother/father tongue" for THEIR children.

Again, thank you!
