OU to host public lectures on disappearance of native languages
NORMAN — Linguistics experts at the University of Oklahoma will hold a series of public presentations on the disappearance of indigenous languages.
Some estimate that more than 50 percent of American Indian languages will be lost over the next 20 years.
Linguistic anthropology professor Mary Linn designed a course that will include a series of guest lecturers that are free and open to the public. The course will begin at 7 p.m. on Sept. 8 with a screening of the film "The Linguists" at the Sam Noble Museum's Kerr Auditorium.
Scientists David Harrison and Gregory Anderson, the subjects of the film, will be available for a question-and-answer session afterward.
Anderson is co-founder and director of the Living Tongues Institute for Endangered Languages.
