About Us
International Research Laboratory “Arctic Linguistic Ecology”
Modern challenges to society pose a task for scientists in the humanities and social sciences to solve a wide range of problems associated with the threat of the loss of the range of ethnic and cultural identities of Russian citizens.
About Us
International Research Laboratory “Arctic Linguistic Ecology”
Protection of language and culture contributes to the preservation of ethnic originality, identity, and the vital energy of any nation. Unfortunately, today many languages of the peoples of the North are on the verge of extinction.
About Us
International Research Laboratory “Arctic Linguistic Ecology”
The factors influencing language shift include migration, urbanization, and industrial development of the northern territories. Indigenous peoples who retain ties to a traditional way of life demonstrate a higher level of language preservation, both in terms of its transmission across generations, and in terms of preserving various language domains.
