Palgrave Macmillan<br><br></div><div id="Publisher">Although the promotion of the French language was highly centralized,
until World War II regional languages in France were able to survive as
they helped maintain and assert 'little homeland' identities in their
respective regions. This became increasingly difficult during Germany's
occupation of France in World War II, when the struggle to preserve
regional languages and local identities rapidly became more overt and
political. This book offers a detailed historical sociolinguistic
analysis of the various language policies applied in France's regions
(Brittany, Southern France, Corsica and Alsace) before, during and after
WWII, making it of particular interest to researchers of both language
policy and French history.</div><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>**************************************<br>N.b.: Listing on the lgpolicy-list is merely intended as a service to its members<br>and implies neither approval, confirmation nor agreement by the owner or sponsor of the list as to the veracity of a message's contents.
