Abstract

Alain Passes describes the relationships between identity, language and recent sociocultural developments within the Pa'ikwené communities. He argues that ‘language loss is not identity loss’ and that identity can be manifested in many different dimensions. He uses recent observations of recent social phenomena among Pa'ikwené to support his ideas.
