	abstract = {Language loss refers to a societal or individual loss in use or in the ability to use a language, implying that another language is replacing it. It is a very common phenomenon world-wide wherever languages are in contact. Language loss may be the result of subtractive bilin- gualism where a new language is learnt at the cost of the mother tongue (Lambert, 1974), or it can be seen as the choice of a person who believes that ceasing to use a lower-status mother tongue will result in a better position in society or in higher prospects for the next genera- tion. While this type of shift is often framed as “speaker's choice,” we can question if this kind of choice is really “free” as it is strongly influ- enced by unequal power relations between languages and language groups (Dorian, 1993). The issue of language loss on a large scale, ultimately leading to the extinction of entire languages, was brought to a wider audience by Krauss (1992) more than a decade ago. According to his estimates, only 600 languages, that is, fewer than 10\% of the languages spoken today, have good chances of surviving until the year 2100. One of the factors counteracting this trend is the corresponding efforts at language revitalization. Efforts to bring back and strengthen small and threatened languages are being carried out today on all continents and under vary- ing circumstances. This chapter provides a short description of previous and on-going research on these issues as well as special questions and problems connected to this kind of research.},
