Abstract

The Ckunza language of the Chilean Lickan Antai is regarded as extinct. This community has worked on its revival since 2010. This descriptive -quantitative study explores the knowledge and use of the language among the members of the Atacamenean community. The results reveal an emerging reversal of the displacement of the Ckunza language. This article contributes to support the struggle for language revitalisation by supporting language planning as well as research in this field.
