User talk:Dave Sayers

Bio

I'm a graduate student at the University of Essex writing a thesis in the sociology of language, based in the Sociology Department and co-supervised in Linguistics. I look at declining linguistic diversity from a dialectological viewpoint, then interrogate language policy that explicitly claims to 'protect linguistic diversity', examining whether this claim is viable given its central goal to standardise minority languages.

I am being funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (UK). Further info is available on my university web page.

Dave, please add a 50-word-plus biography to your user page before making further substantive edits, etc.; this is just because readers should be able to verify credentials. Ta. John Stephenson 21:57, 10 August 2007 (CDT)
