The book is divided into two main parts that represent Zuckermann's fascinating and multifaceted journey into language revival, from the 'Promised Land' (Israel) to the 'Lucky Country' (Australia) and beyond. Part 1: language revival and cross-fertilization. The aim of this part is to suggest that due to the ubiquitous multiple causation, the reclamation of a no-longer spoken language is unlikely without cross-fertilization from the revivalists' mother tongue(s). Thus, one should expect revival efforts to result in a language with a hybridic genetic and typological character. The book highlights salient morphological, phonological, phonetic, syntactic, semantic and lexical features, illustrating the difficulty in determining a single source for the grammar of 'Israeli', the language resulting from the Hebrew revival. The European impact in these features is apparent inter alia in structure, semantics or productivity. Multiple causation is manifested in the Congruence Principle, according to which the more contributing languages a feature exists in, the more likely it is to persist in the emerging language. Consequently, the reality of linguistic genesis is far more complex than a simple family tree system allows. 'Revived' languages are unlikely to have a single parent. Part 2: language revival and wellbeing. The book then applies practical lessons (rather than clicheÌs) from the critical analysis of the Hebrew reclamation to other revival movements globally, and goes on to describe the why and how of language revival. The how includes practical, nitty-gritty methods for reclaiming 'sleeping beauties' such as the Barngarla Aboriginal language of Eyre Peninsula, South Australia, e.g. using what Zuckermann calls talknology (talk technology). The why includes ethical, aesthetic, and utilitarian reasons such as improving wellbeing and mental health"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Language revival $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Hebrew language $x Revival. 650 0 $a Barngarla language $x Revival. 650 7 $a Hebrew language $x Revival. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00954289 650 7 $a Language revival. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00992415 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423765 776 08 $i Online version: $a Zuckermann, Ghil'ad. $t Revivalistics. $d New York, NY : Oxford University Press, [2020] $z 9780190097035 $w (DLC) 2019051783 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210304013308.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=682A90C4BC2911EAAC3CDF0297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
