Talk:Language reconstruction

Latest comment: 7 years ago by Cnilep

I'm not sure this disambiguation page is needed: the phrase "language reconstruction" can refer to Linguistic reconstruction, but I'm not sure I've ever seen it to mean Language revitalization or Linguistic purism. Maybe I'm wrong? Pinging Cnilep, who'll probably have a clue. – Uanfala (talk) 21:43, 5 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

I've never heard the phrase used to refer to linguistic purism; that concept is somewhat related, but not ambiguous. I also don't think the sub-bullets added by W. P. Uzer are really necessary, as they feature prominently at Linguistic reconstruction. I would say that leaves it at WP:TWODABS, with 'Linguistic reconstruction' as primary and Language revitalization secondary. The word "reconstruction" doesn't appear in 'Language revitalization' currently, but is sometimes used in the literature. Cnilep (talk) 01:48, 6 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
