Introduction: (Central) Europe and the World 1. Preliminaries 2. Setting the Stage in Europe 3. The Question of the Middle 4. From Nationalism to the Internet Conclusion ?
Tomasz Kamusella is a Reader in the Institute of Transnational and Spatial History at the University of St Andrews, UK. He researches language politics in a comparative and interdisciplinary manner. His other interest is the rise and spread of ethnolinguistic nationalism as the primary ideology of nation-formation and state-building in Central Europe.
“It is worth noting that this is not a book written for linguists
only. Kamusella relates the mechanics of language creation to major
developments in culture, religion and statehood. He diligently
explains all terms and concepts introduced in the book.”
(Małgorzata Szajbel-keck, pol-int.org, March, 2016)
“Kamusella’s latest work supplies the reader with an impressive
array of historical information on a great number of lects and is
highly ambitious in its aim to cover the linguistic developments in
Central Europe during the last millennium. … this book makes a
valuable contribution to an important field of study. … very useful
reading for, say, specialists in one Central European lect who wish
to learn more about the broader Central European picture.” (Gesine
Argent, Journal of Historical Sociolinguistics, Vol. 2 (1), 2016)
