Abstract
This is a response to the commentaries on our epistemological paper, The dynamics of bilingualism in language
shift ecologies. The commentaries highlight the challenges in studying language shift ecologies and the competing goals of
different research approaches. We hope this set of papers invokes rich discussion about other possible research questions we can
ask and the research methodologies we can use to answer them.
