Die Sprachenfrage der EU

Meer over het boek

The book explores the complex dynamics of language policy within the EU, emphasizing the tension between national and supranational identities. It highlights how political and economic centralization impacts the survival of European languages, advocating for a nuanced understanding of multilingualism versus cultural homogeneity. By contrasting sociolinguistic research with EU legal and administrative decisions, the author situates the language debate within broader identity issues and calls for a reformed language policy that addresses these challenges effectively.
