Applying lessons from the Hebrew revival of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to contemporary endangered languages, Zuckermann takes readers along a fascinating and multifaceted journey into language revival and provides new insights into language genesis. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBeginning with a critical analysis of Israeli-the language resulting from the Hebrew revival-Zuckermann's radical theory contradicts conventional accounts of the Hebrew revival and challenges the family tree model of historical linguistics. \u003cem\u003eRevivalistics\u003c\/em\u003e demonstrates how grammatical cross-fertilization with the revivalists' mother tongues is inevitable in the case of successful \"revival languages.\" The second part of the book then applies these lessons from the Israeli language to revival movements in Australia and globally, describing the \"why\" and \"how\" of revivalistics. With examples from the Barngarla Aboriginal language of South Australia, Zuckermann proposes ethical, aesthetic, and utilitarian reasons for language revival and offers practical methods for reviving languages. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased on years of the author's research, fieldwork, and personal experience with language revivals all over the globe, \u003cem\u003eRevivalistics\u003c\/em\u003e offers ground-breaking theoretical and pragmatic contributions to the field of language reclamation, revitalization, and reinvigoration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-13180979\"\u003eGhil'ad Zuckermann\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199812790\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199812799\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-LAN\"\u003eLanguage Arts \u0026amp; Disciplines\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-LAN009010\"\u003eLinguistics | Historical \u0026amp; Comparative\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FOR\"\u003eForeign Language Study\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FOR032000\"\u003eOceanic \u0026amp; Australian Languages\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGhil'ad Zuckermann\u003c\/strong\u003e is Chair of Linguistics and Endangered Languages at the University of Adelaide, Australia.
