Rezensionen

"The book is obviously written for researchers and graduate students, but the issues discussed throughout may also be of interest to a wider readership, particularly language activists and language teachers. ... Overall, this book makes an important contribution to the literature. ... Most of the issues treated in this collection will be familiar to scholars of language contact and shift, but the chapters provide a new perspective on many of them." (Colin J. Flynn, Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, December 26, 2019)
"It is the first book on new speakers that explores the practical implications of new speaker theory on populations, and incorporates quantitative studies into a largely qualitative field. ... most of the more prevalent voices in new speaker theory are present in the book, this volume is sure to become key reading for all those with an interest in this emerging field, particularly in relation to minority languages." (Deirdre A. Dunlevy, Language Policy, Vol. 18, 2019)
