Description
This volume presents the latest findings of leading figures in the growing interdisciplinary field of geolinguistics. It outlines the opportunities and tensions facing linguistic minorities in their attempt to influence the structure of the modern state in Europe and North America and offers a synthesis of the complex relationship between territorial identity, social change and economic development in multilingual societies.
