There are several existing redlinks to this article; Hinton is a recognized authority on language revitalization. She is a key figure in the development of the study of revitalization (which emerged, partly due to her work, as a complement to the study of language death). She collaborated with many other well-known linguists (such as Ken Hale) in codifying practices and documentation of endangered languages. She has also authored key texts, which are widely used in university-level courses, some of which have been translated into other languages for use in other countries. Specifically, The Green Book of Language Revitalization in Practice (ISBN0123493544), which she co-edited with Hale, is widely cited and considered a standard reference in the field. babbage (talk) 05:56, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It is customary in Wikipedia to list notable parents, siblings, spouses, and children. In the case of Sam Hinton, Leanne Hinton is listed as a child. In the case of Leanne, Sam is not mentioned at all. Because this is the biography of a LIVING person and i do not know whether the omission of her notable father was intentional or accidental, i have not added it to her page. I simply bring it up here as one who follows the genetics of notable people.
Should anyone know her, i would ask them to seek her out and ask her preference. Another approach would be to add an info-box for her, in which her parents would be named and Sam would be linked.
For the record, my involvement is simply that i admired Sam Hinton as a harp-in-mouth harmonica player who took time to teach me how to do that trick at a folk music workshop at UC Berkeley when i was a teen, way back in the 1960s.
