Book synopsis:

The authors of this volume analyze language contact situations
emerging in East and Central Europe, Australia, and Japan. The individual
chapters focus on language problems which appear in concrete interactions
between speakers of various languages. The objective of the book is to
demonstrate the capacity of the language management framework on the basis
of highly diversified empirical material and thus aid in the solving of
similar language problems which arise in different types of intercultural
contact. The chapters contribute to the forming of a new approach to the
processes underlying linguistic diversity, covering both its micro and
macro aspects.
