The Role of Globalization in the Death of Languages

Abstract: This 14 page paper examines the role of globalization in the death of languages. Languages develop and evolve. Part of the evolution of languages is the death, There are many dead languages, some of which we know include Hittite, Sumarian, Cilician, Phrygian, Etruscan, Bithynian and Elamite. This may occur for a number of reasons, but a form of cultural assimilation is present. This paper looks at the ideas of Crystal, Edwards and others and applies this to the old and the modern world to assess the level of impact globalization has on language death. The bibliography cites 10 sources.
