Exploring links between documentation, sociolinguistics and language revitalization: An introduction José Antonio Flores Farfán Fernando Ramallo Since its inception, the documentation program has posed a series of open quests. Relating documentation, sociolinguistics and language revitalization, establishing an agenda of research priorities, constitutes an important issue which invites developing a productive debate to which this book hopes to contribute. Pursuing to link the documentary, sociolinguistic and revitalization programs a series of tasks are at stake. In the light of the potential cross-fertilization of these interdisciplinary fields, prefiguring and exploring the need to connect documentation and revitalization is a crucial one. The chapters presented in this book are outstanding contributions to this purpose. As major representatives of the documentary linguistics field, all participants aim at the advancement of finding connections between the three agendas. In the quest of an exegesis of such trinity, let us mention and briefly discuss some of these open questions, touching upon what to our mind are critical issues. The considerable rapid growth of the linguistics documentation field has witnessed the emergence of a number of documentary linguistics trends with different emphases. The identification of types of documentation carried out 3
