Abstract
The present master thesis explores and describes the phenomenon of language endangerment in the United States and Australia. The thesis examines the resemblance between the statistics regarding indigenous languages on the two continents. Throughout the thesis the British colonization is examined as one of the main influences on the linguistic situation in the US and Australia. The topic was chosen as the language endangerment continues in the globalized world of the 21st century, representing a great threat to a number of world's languages. Indigenous languages on the territories of the US and Australia are struggling to accomplish acknowledgment, and the undertakings to preserve and revitalize them have not produced satisfactory results. The English language has been replacing them in various aspects, contributing to their further detriment, as globalization requires common means of communication. This thesis acknowledges the value of indigenous languages in the US and Australia based upon the cultural heritage that they carry for Native Americans and Australian Aboriginals.
Abstract (croatian)
Ovaj diplomski rad istražuje i opisuje pojavu iščeznuća jezika u SAD-u i Australiji. Rad ispituje sličnosti među statistikama ugroženih jezika na dva kontinenta. Britanska kolonizacija je u radu predstavljena kao jedan od glavnih utjecaja na jezičnu situaciju u SAD-u i Australiji. Tema je izabrana jer se izumiranje jezika nastavlja u globaliziranom svijetu u 21. stoljeću, što predstavlja veliku prijetnju brojnim jezicima u svijetu. Ugroženi jezici na teritoriju SAD-a i Australije se bore da bi dobili priznanje, a pokušaji da ih se sačuva i oživi ne ostvaruju zadovoljavajuće rezultate. Engleski jezik ih još uvijek zamijenjuje u brojnim aspektima, te doprinosi njihovom daljnjem izumiranju, dok globalizacija teži jednostavnijem, zajedničkom sredstvu komuniciranja. Diplomski rad ugroženim jezicima u SAD-u i Australiji pridaje značenje koje raste iz kulturne baštine i koje ti jezici imaju za sjevernoameričke Indijance i australske Aboridžine.
