TV killing languages

Post by MacAnDàil »

I remember a linguist saying (in the 90s?) that TV kills languages. I vaguely remember the linguist being a man specialising in Amerindian languages. Does anybody have the ref?

This is not about TV-induced language death but rather Interwebs-induced language death...
