Conditions for Language Revitalization: A Comparison of the Cases of Hebrew and Maori.
Spolsky, Bernard
Current Issues in Language and Society, v2 n3 p177-201 1995
Focuses on language restoration in a situation where people start again to use a language as the language of the home and to speak it to newborn children after a period when these uses were extinct. Specifically considers the conditions accounting for Hebrew language revitalization and compares this situation with efforts to revitalize the Maori language. (38 references) (CK)
