On the basis of detailed analyses of 10 threatened language-in-society constellations and of three formerly endangered but now secure constellations, Fishman (social sciences emeritus, Yeshiva U.) not only develops a closely argued theory of worldwide efforts on behalf of `reversing language shift', but also applies this same line of reasoning to the problems of maintaining the intergenerational continuity of second languages, ethnic heritage languages, and religious classical languages.
