“Biodiversity also incorporates human cultural diversity, which can be affected by the same drivers as biodiversity, and which has impacts on the diversity of genes, other species, and ecosystems.”

  • Langscape, Volume II, Issue 10 Lang_II_10 coverLangscape Volume II, Issue 10. Breaking the Language Barrier: a Biocultural Approach to Documenting Oral Literature. This issue was created by Langscape Editor, Ortixia Dilts, Terralingua, and Dr. George Appell, from the Firebird Foundation for Anthropological Reasearch as our guest editor. The issue is set in two parts. In part one, we present articles and stories submitted by Terralingua members from Africa, Mexico, the Caribbean, the Pacific and Canada. Part two, is based on a case study by Dr. Appell on the methods he has developed over 50 years in documenting oral literature.

Terralingua publishes Langscape, a handsome, e-magazine with organizational updates, news, and feature articles and stories that engage hot topics in the field of biocultural diversity. Langscape is widely recognized as a leading source of information on the links between linguistic, cultural, and biological diversity.

Terralingua makes past issues of Langscape available to the general public. These issues may be downloaded in .pdf format below.

However, as a benefit of membership, you’ll receive the current issue of Langscape hot-off-the-press, so join Terralingua today!

If you would like to submit your own news, articles, or photographs for Langscape, please send your request to the Editor at ortixia@terralingua.org. The theme for our next issue is Sacred Natural Sites. Due date for submissions will be July 1st 2012.
