Linguistic Changes in Post-Communist Eastern Europe and Eurasia (Hardcover)

The disintegration of the Marxist-Leninist sociopolitical system not only changed the political, economic, socio-cultural, and psychological realities of Eastern Europe and Eurasia, it changed the linguistic situation of the region as well. Written by distinguished scholars, the ten case studies in this volume focus on the language policies and linguistic developments in post-communist Eastern Europe and Eurasia and the impact of globalization, democratization, and technological advancements on their languages.
