Summary
This chapter discusses the types of change which occur in languages when they become endangered. As most of them involve linguistic structures, there will be extensive use of linguistic terminology here; all terms are first introduced in bold and are explained in the Glossary. Some readers with less background in linguistics may find some of the material in this chapter fairly difficult and may wish to pass over it.
