Description
When languages are carried across borders of various kinds – social, regional, national and multinational – they undergo surprising accommodations. This book looks at some of the ways they adapt through case studies from Iceland, Finland, the Netherlands, Ireland, the British Isles, the European Common Market, and North America. Together, these insightful studies bear witness to the resilience and resourcefulness of our languages, and to the people who use them.
