The Language and Culture Research Group
The Research Group in Language and Culture
The large interdisciplinary group in language and culture, draws on resources from a number of departments and programs including researchers from linguistics, anthropology, the SLAT Program, American Indian Studies, and the Language, Reading and Culture program.
As many as 95% of the world's 6000 languages are in danger of extinction. One of the primary foci of the Language and Culture group at the University of Arizona is in language maintenance and revival. This combined with research into cultural aspects of language, gender, class, sexuality, and ethnicity. Research projects in the Language and culture group focus on all of these areas.
