Abstract/Contents

Abstract: This essay won or received an honorable mention for The Boothe Prize for excellence in first-year writing. The Boothe Prize recognizes and rewards outstanding expository and argumentative writing by undergraduate students in the first-year Writing and Rhetoric classes, Integrated Learning Environments, and Thinking Matters programs. In each award-winning essay, student writers demonstrate clarity of argument, excellent integration of research-based evidence, and compelling prose style. By studying the Chinese government's role in poor language preservation efforts and language death, Xinlan Emily Hu explains the difficulty of protecting endangered languages and the need to retain power in the hands of speakers of the language.
