Summary This book explores the dynamics of language and social change in central Europe in the context of the end of the Cold War and eastern expansion of the European Union. One outcome of the profound social transformations in central Europe since the Second World War has been the reshaping of the relationship between particular languages and linguistic varieties, especially between 'national' languages and regional or ethnic minority languages. Previous studies have investigated these transformed relationships from the macro perspective of language policies, while others have taken more fine-graine.
Contents Discourses on language in social life : theoretical and methodological orientations -- Sociolinguistic histories and the footprint of German in eastern central Europe -- Language policy discourses : interventions and intersections -- Language (auto)biographies : narrating multilingual selves -- Language ideologies : negotiating linguistic identities.
