Description

We do not at the present time know how the language situation in a multilingual region such as South Asia will be affected by modern information and communication technologies: Will linguistic diversity be strengthened or weakened as they become increasingly prevalent in all walks of life? In an attempt to address this question, this volume brings together articles on South Asian descriptive linguistics and sociolinguistics, documentary linguistics, issues of intellectual and cultural property and fieldwork ethics, and language technology. Our aim in doing this is to provide the reader with some basic knowledge about the problems involved and some directions from which solutions could be forthcoming.
