DAVID AND LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY
|
Dissemination Article | "Why should we be concerned about the imminent loss of global linguistic diversity?"
On June 7, 2024, an article titled "Per què ens hauria de preocupar la pèrdua imminent de la diversitat lingüística mundial?" was published in the Catalan online periodical VilaWeb. The article was written by David Ginebra.
In this article, David emphasizes the importance of preserving indigenous languages, which are at risk of disappearing by 50% to 90% by 2032. The loss of these languages would not only result in the disappearance of scientific, historical, and medical knowledge, but also have social impacts, such as the loss of identity, intergenerational trauma, and health issues. By preserving these languages, we also contribute to the cognitive and physical well-being of linguistic communities, while valuing their culture and identity.
