Episode 4: Judie Maxwell, part 3, on Language Rights and Revitalization
In this episode, we finish the conversation with Judie Maxwell of Tulane University. Topics include: how languages encode human knowledge and worldviews; the autonomy of a language community to choose if, when, and where to speak their language (or not); heritage communities and heritage languages; the terms "extinct", "dead", "sleeping", and "reclamation" when talking about endangered languages; language domains; community buy-in; and the power of a single person to make a difference!
