MSL Linguistics Honored

Approximately 7,000 languages are spoken in the world today. Every two weeks, one of these languages dies.

UWM is hosting a Linguistics Symposium focused on the topic of Endangered Languages on Oct. 20-22. MSL is sending a group of students who took an elective course in Linguistics last year at our school. These students were the first students in the country to formally study Linguistics at the high school level. The students will be acknowledged by the international Linguistics community at the opening of the conference.

Students are looking forward to hearing a lecture by K. David Harrison, one of the world's leading linguists working for the preservation of dying languages and one of the linguists whose career was highlighted in the documentary film "The Linguists."

Students are also hoping to meet Dr. Daniel Everett, author of the book "Don't Sleep, There Are Snakes." The book chronicles Dr. Everett's 30 years studying the Piraha language in the Amazon River basin, a language that lacks terminology for colors and numbers.
