Reviews / Votes
"The book presents a series of country studies that give a historical account of 'the evolution of the country's 'national' language', and, of language planning activities since the 'start of the Perestroika reforms in the Soviet Bloc in the late 1980s' . . this volume offer plenty of reference points, while the post-communist country descriptions emphasizing legislative events and institutions equally offer fine entry points for readers to pursue in-depth study of their own."
