Special Report
Read our special report “A Future of Fewer Words?: Five Trends Shaping
the Future of Language” by Lawrence Baines at
https://lifeboat.com/ex/a.future.of.fewer.words
Natural selection is as much a phenomenon in human language as it is in
natural ecosystems. An ongoing “survival of the fittest” may lead to
continuing expansion of image-based communications and the extinction of
more than half the world’s languages by this century’s end.
