Summary
Working with a group to maintain their language can be mutually beneficial, with positive community and scholarly outcomes. We have seen in Chapter 3 how to behave in an ethical way in the community, in Chapter 4, how community attitudes and identity function and change, in Chapter 5, how language learning and use is crucial, in Chapter 6, some of the non-linguistic factors which may be important, in Chapter 7, some likely linguistic outcomes of the process, in Chapter 8, various policy and planning settings and activities to reinforce a language, in Chapter 9, strategies which have worked in language reclamation efforts and, in Chapter 10, techniques for carrying out socially grounded scholarly research.
