How many languages are there? What differentiates one language from another? Are        new languages still being discovered? Why are so many languages disappearing?The        diversity of languages today is varied, but it is steadily declining. In this Very        Short Introduction, Stephen Anderson answers the above questions by looking at the        science behind languages. Considering a wide range of different languages and        linguistic examples, he demonstrates how languages are not uniformly distributed        around the world; just as some places are more diverse than others in terms of        plants and animal species, the same goes for the distribution of languages.Exploring        the basis for linguistic classification and raising questions about how we identify        a language, as well as considering signed languages as well as spoken, Anderson        examines the wider social issues of losing languages, and their impact in terms of        the endangerment of cultures and peoples.
