Focusing on the decline of lively Cornish speech, Rod Lyon investigates the disconnect between traditional Cornish texts and contemporary language teaching methods. He argues that current educational practices emphasize the linguistic structure of old theological writings, neglecting the conversational aspects essential for fluency. This has resulted in learners who can write academically in Cornish but struggle with everyday conversation. Lyon explores additional factors contributing to this issue, aiming to revitalize the language's spoken form.
