Reviews

'This important work should make us all think about the purpose and processes of language revitalisation, and the realities of language survival.' Adrian Cain, Manx Heritage Foundation 'Sallabank combines her usual brilliant scholarship with an insider perspective on the endangerment and revitalisation of Guernaise, her own heritage language. The book alternates between a macro-study of the issues in endangered language scholarship and the micro-study of the languages of Guernsey and two other islands under the British crown, Jersey and the Isle of Man ... A must-read for linguists working with endangered languages anywhere.' Leanne Hinton, Professor Emerita of Linguistics, University of California, Berkeley '... [the author's] insights made this book an invaluable tool for exploring language attitudes and ideologies, while addressing issues on how to 'save a language,' with a reference to what it means to the islanders and how it affects them in the first place.' Zuzana S. Elliott, The LINGUIST List (https://linguistlist.org)
