Living Languages and New Approaches to Language Revitalisation Research

By: Tonya N. Stebbins,Kris Eira,Vicki L. Couzens

This book advocates for a new model of describing the practices of language revitalization, and decolonizing the research methods used to study them. The volume provides a comprehensive treatment of the theoretical and methodological foundations of working with communities revitalizing their languages. It lays out the conceptual framework at the heart of the project and moves into a description of the model, based on a seven-year research process working with Aboriginal communities in eastern Australia. Six case studies show the model’s application in language revival practice. The book critically engages with the notion of revival languages as emergent and ever-transforming and develops a holistic approach to their description that reflects Aboriginal language practitioners’ understandings of the nature of language. It seeks to demonstrate how the conceptual tools developed from this approach can support efforts to develop deeply collaborative research, highlight the diversity of language revitalisation practice and map between the realms of old and new, local and global, and the social, cultural, and textual dimensions of language, making this an ideal resource for researchers and scholars in sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, education, cultural studies, and post-colonial studies.

Alecia Rizzoto has just graduated with honors from college and sits poised on the brink of an uncertain future. She is being honored by her community for her achievements and strength in the face of nearly overwhelming physical adversity with the Courage to Come Back Award, but she is uncertain whether or not she is happy about it because she isn't feeling very brave at all. The event sparks an inner turmoil within Alecia to understand why she was being celebrated for simply choosing to find a life worth living after a life-altering injury. Turning inward, Alecia revisits the events that dramatically changed her life to find out where the courage to face her circumstances came from. In the process, she unintentionally discovers a new understanding of herself and rediscovers a powerful love for the two women who fought so hard to keep her from giving up.
