  Book Description
This book examines the role that language has played in forming modern
European nations. With language an omnipresent issue within the
European Union, the importance languages have played within the
histories and present situations of member nations is a crucial topic.
Drawing on an international cast of contributors, the book explores the
issues of monolingualism vs. plurilingualism within individual nations,
the revival of languages in nations such as former soviet republics,
and concludes with a look at language in the electronic age.
