Language endangerment in the 21st century : globalisation, technology and new media : proceedings of the Conference FEL XVI, 12-15 September 2012, AUT University, Auckland, Aotearoa/New Zealand. FEL Conference Te Ipukarea, AUT University ; Bath, England, Auckland NZ, 2012.
abstract   bibtex   
Since the beginning of the present millennium unprecedented social changes have been taking place across the world driven by technology, new media and social media networking. Cultural commentaries remind us of the global diffusion of ideas and values that has become synonymous with the weakening of historical and traditional linguistic ties and their replacement by loose connections to consumerism and capitalism. Old traditions perish and new ones evolve. Any discussion and questions of technology and new media in endangered language contexts must be grounded and framed within the realities of access. Although the digital divide continues to exist, there is evidence, however, of increased access to new wireless media among endangered and minority language users.
