• Resumen

  • With the purpose to facilitate general agreement over what constitutes language revival, we argue in this paper that language revival, language revitalisation, and language reversal constitute three separate phenomena, subsumed under the concept of language regenesis. We define and illustrate language regenesis and its subcategories with the intent of establishing a clear and common terminology for these concepts and we do this through a comparison of case studies.
