Abstract

The urgent need to understand the processes of language shift in endangered language communities has spurred a renewed focus on the long-standing problem of accounting for linguistic I variation i , easily observable in monolingual settings but amplified to much greater proportions in contexts where multiple languages co-exist in a shared space, either within a broader society or in the minds of individual speakers. It is these vital problems of variability and comparability that [5] bring forth in their timely and much-needed account of language shift ecologies in indigenous language contexts.
