AbstractInformation on a proposed project designed to study the relationship between language and region. "This project will provide a significantly new model for how and when and why minority language communities abandon their languages for a majority tongue. This kind of reverse subsidiarity builds most directly on Warren's verticalization, but ties in closely with other disciplines and a variety of other topics, like Midwestern regionalism and the reinvention of ethnicity among German Americans. The overall project aims for a balance of broad theoretical focus and Midwestern small regional empirical orientation."
