The Fate of Mood and Modality in Language Death: Evidence from Minor Finnic Trends in Linguistics Studies and Monographs [TiLSM] 307 In the rapidly evolving world of technology, it is crucial to understand the process of technological advancements and their impact on human society. The book "The Fate of Mood and Modality in Language Death" offers a unique perspective on this topic by exploring the relationship between language death and the evolution of modern knowledge. The author argues that the survival of humanity and the unity of people in a war-torn world depends on our ability to develop a personal paradigm for perceiving the technological process of developing modern knowledge. This paradigm should be based on the understanding that the relative susceptibility of linguistic elements to loss and change in language death situations can be dependent on meaning rather than structure. The book begins by examining the current state of language death research, which often focuses on formal processes such as paradigmatic levelling. However, the author contends that this approach overlooks the role of meaning and semantics in shaping the fate of languages. To address this gap, the author conducts a comprehensive study of minor Finnic trends in linguistics studies and monographs, providing valuable insights into the nature of language death and its implications for human society. The author's central argument is that the process of language death is not just about the loss of grammar or vocabulary but also about the loss of meaning and modality.
