Inhaltsangabe

The book is a collection of selected papers originally printed in various journals and conference proceedings, both national and international, appended with previously unpublished texts. The articles included to the book deal with a variety of topics related to the dynamics of languages that meet and interact. You can find here contributions to the evolution of both Indo-European and non-Indo-European languages, treatises discussing the globalizing effects of English as a modern lingua franca, and studies that focus on the status of minority language communities. Their author stresses the importance of language diversity for keeping healthy and vibrant cultures as well as the identity and integrity of particular nations.
