Description
"Sue Wright's intellectually provocative book holds real implications for EU policies, for educational policies, and for governments that still act as they did in the nineteenth century." - Christina Paulston, University of Pittsburgh, USA "One of the best attempts to treat the subject of language in modern Europe I've ever read. Sue Wright not only masters the relevant details of European history but also the historical interpretations of those details." - John E. Joseph, Professor of Applied Linguistics, University of Edinburgh, UK

Reviews
"The intended readership of the book is broad, and may include sociolinguists, diachronic linguistics researchers, general language researchers, and anyone who shows an interest in investigations into language problems, language policy, and language planning. ... the book remains a great contribution to the area of language policy and language planning and deserves my wholehearted recommendation." (Haoda Feng, Language in Society, Vol. 48 (2), April, 2019)
