Comparative Semiotic Analysis Of Non-Verbal Communication: Apis Mellifera Waggle Dance And Human Kinesic Signaling Systems, Nishtha Tikalal

The Effects Of Hegemonic Support Of Endangered Languages On Language Ideologies, Christy Box
Honors Undergraduate Theses
Endangered languages are those that are spoken by a very small percentage of the population and are at risk of disappearing with all the knowledge and diversity they contain.
