Linguistic Society of America
Bien qu’il soit difficile de donner un chiffre exact, la plupart des spécialistes estiment à 5 000 le nombre de langues dans le monde. La <anchor>Linguistic Society of America</anchor> explique que, malgré tout, d’ici 100 ans, la plupart de ces langues auront disparu… Selon certaines estimations, jusqu’à 80 % des langues parlées dans le monde actuellement n’existeront plus d’ici la fin du siècle. Lorsqu’une langue disparaît, certaines traditions qui lui étaient liées se perdent aussi et sont remplacées par les habitudes culturelles du groupe dominant. C’est une des raisons pour lesquelles il est très important pour les communautés elles-mêmes que leurs langues survivent (source : Linguistic Society of America).

**Andrew Nevins (University College London).** The LSA has defined my career, from my first successful job interview, to organizing a session at the Annual Meeting, to serving as Program Committee Chair. Most rewarding presently is my editorial role for Phonological Data & Analysis, recently publishing 5 articles on languages from the Amazon to the Caucasus to Taiwan, bringing new empirical insights to the field.

LSA has filed an amicus brief in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals regarding a Florida law barring transgender and non-binary teachers from stating their chosen pronouns or titles in the classroom. Contrary to Florida’s contentions, linguistic science demonstrates that pronouns are not making objective truth claims about biological characteristics, nor are they difficult for children to learn.
