For thirty-four years, Thomason has been assembling a dictionary of this Native American language, which is spoken fluently by fewer than forty people. Thomason, a linguist, is fascinated by what happens when one language meets another, and how those languages change, or don\u2019t. I had contacted her because I was interested in how certain words\u2014say, <\/em>e-mail<em>, or <\/em>google<em>, or <\/em>tweet<em>\u2014had been exported worldwide by American-born technology. I\u2019d already called several linguists, and they all said I had to speak to Sally. No one, they said, had more insight into how linguistic traits travel, how pidgins and creoles are born, and how languages interact and change over time.\u00a0<\/em><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The French government tried very hard to resist American loanwords like <\/em>e-mail<em>, promoting in its place\u00a0<\/em>messagerie \u00e9lectronique\u00a0<em>or\u00a0<\/em>courriel<em>. They\u2019d formed a whole agency for this purpose. Laws were passed and enforced. And yet <\/em>e-mail<em> prevailed\u2014it was simply more efficient. But Sally was especially excited about languages that resist such borrowing, even in the face of extraordinary cultural influence and dominance. Montana Salish was one such language. Our conversations followed a pattern: I arrived expecting one thing and ended up somewhere entirely distinct, thinking differently about language and human culture.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Is it fair to say that you study what happens when languages meet? Is <em>meet<\/em> too friendly a word?<\/strong> <strong>I suppose there\u2019s a whole range of things that happen, and sometimes it\u2019s friendly and sometimes it\u2019s not.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Right, but having a language disappear because all the speakers got massacred is actually really rare. There are a couple of examples where all the speakers of some language got wiped out by a volcanic eruption on an island. And there are a couple of examples, at least one in this country, where almost everybody was wiped out by smallpox and then the remainder was lynched by a mob.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What languages are those?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/2016\/03\/30\/language-leakage-an-interview-with-sarah-thomason\/\">Read More &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A linguist discusses how technology shapes culture and culture shapes words.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":958,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[26379],"tags":[21733,21732,21721,21726,21718,21734,16,21731,4511,10414,865,529,2854,687,21730,1277,21717,21728,21729,21724,21723,7522,21714,9712,21735,21722,21720,21725,21713,21716,21715,21719,224,353,21727,2393],"class_list":["post-106232","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-best-of-2016","tag-aleut","tag-aleutians","tag-bougainville","tag-buin","tag-consonants","tag-cree","tag-culture","tag-dying-languages","tag-el-salvador","tag-email","tag-france","tag-french","tag-hawaii","tag-language","tag-language-nest","tag-linguistics","tag-linguists","tag-maori","tag-master-apprentice-program","tag-metis","tag-michif","tag-montana","tag-montana-salish","tag-new-zealand","tag-north-dakota","tag-pacific-northwest","tag-papua-new-guinea","tag-pidgin","tag-salish","tag-sally-thomason","tag-sarah-thomason","tag-susquehannock","tag-technology","tag-teenagers","tag-uisai","tag-words"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.4 (Yoast SEO v25.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What Makes Languages Change?
