"This seminal book introduces revivalistics, a new trans-disciplinary field of enquiry
surrounding language reclamation, revitalization and reinvigoration. The book is divided
into two main parts that represent Zuckermann's fascinating and multifaceted journey
into language revival, from the 'Promised Land' (Israel) to the 'Lucky Country' (Australia)
and beyond. Part 1: language revival and cross-fertilization. The aim of this part
is to suggest that due to the ubiquitous multiple causation, the reclamation of a
no-longer spoken language is unlikely without cross-fertilization from the revivalists'
mother tongue(s). Thus, one should expect revival efforts to result in a language
with a hybridic genetic and typological character. The book highlights salient morphological,
phonological, phonetic, syntactic, semantic and lexical features, illustrating the
difficulty in determining a single source for the grammar of 'Israeli', the language
resulting from the Hebrew revival. The European impact in these features is apparent
inter alia in structure, semantics or productivity. Multiple causation is manifested
in the Congruence Principle, according to which the more contributing languages a
feature exists in, the more likely it is to persist in the emerging language. Consequently,
the reality of linguistic genesis is far more complex than a simple family tree system
allows. 'Revived' languages are unlikely to have a single parent. Part 2: language
revival and wellbeing. The book then applies practical lessons (rather than clichés)
from the critical analysis of the Hebrew reclamation to other revival movements globally,
and goes on to describe the why and how of language revival. The how includes practical,
nitty-gritty methods for reclaiming 'sleeping beauties' such as the Barngarla Aboriginal
language of Eyre Peninsula, South Australia, e.g. using what Zuckermann calls talknology
(talk technology). The why includes ethical, aesthetic, and utilitarian reasons such
as improving wellbeing and mental health"
