This book is a collection of researched articles in honour of Professor Abel Gbenga Fakuade, one of the front liners in the survival of language, especially the indigenous ones. He is of the view that the death of any human language is the demise of a culture and the essence of humanity. The book contains over thirty chapters on the various aspects of linguistics. From general linguistics through pedagogy to the influence of the social media, as a two-edged sword, on the spread, survival or death of language, this book details efforts of scholars in advancing the survival of language and its usefulness in national development. Other issues of concern related to language are also examined in the book.
