文章导读 语言复兴一般被理解为“为逐渐或已经不被使用的语言提供新的生命和活力的过程”。当前语言复兴是一个正受到世界许多国家和地区的越来越多社会团体和学者关注的领域。本文关于语言复兴的讨论是基于最新出版的《劳特利奇语言复兴手册》（Routledge Handbook of Language Revitalization）（下称《手册》）。《手册》不仅汇编了来自近20个国家的20多个案例研究，且额外收录了与语言复兴话题相关的26个章节。这些章节涵盖了以下话题：健康与福祉、语言政策与规划、教育、读写素养、语言档案编制以及技术（Hinton，Huss & Roche 2018）。本文将以讨论全球范围内的语言濒危危机及其学术研究为开篇，介绍语言复兴的相关理论研究和经验实践。
Abstract：This article examines the origin and growth of language revitalization as a field of both research and practice. Based on the recently published Routledge Handbook of Language Revitalization, the article defines language revitalization as “giving new life and vigor to a language that has been decreasing in use, or which has even ceased being used altogether.” This article argues that language revitalization has grown in tandem with the study of endangered languages, beginning in the late 1980s. It shows how language revitalization emerged as a distinct field of research in the early twenty-first century, and has become increasingly interdisciplinary since this time. Case studies of language revitalization are offered to demonstrate the ways in which research and practice intertwine in different social, political, and cultural contexts. The article concludes by briefly examining two significant trends in the development of the field: the growth of teaching programs in language revitalization, and the emergence of ethnographic studies of language revitalization.
