Rezensionen

"The book presents a series of country studies that give a historical account of 'the evolution of the country's 'national' language', and, of language planning activities since the 'start of the Perestroika reforms in the Soviet Bloc in the late 1980s' ... . this volume offer plenty of reference points, while the post-communist country descriptions emphasizing legislative events and institutions equally offer fine entry points for readers to pursue in-depth study of their own." (Björn Jernudd, Language Policy, Vol. 18, 2019)
