THE LINGUISTS
(a very foreign language film)
followed by a discussion with David Harrison,
linguist featured in the film
Thursday, April 23, 2009, 5:00pm
Great Hall, International House, UC San Diego
Half of the world's languages are on the verge of extinction. Who will
record them before they are gone? David Harrison and Greg Anderson are
scientists consumed with documenting endangered languages. In Siberia,
India, and Bolivia, the linguists confront head-on the very forces
silencing languages: institutionalized racism and violent economic
unrest. Their journey takes them deep into the heart of the cultures,
knowledge, and communities at stake.
