Reviews
"Recently a growing number of interdisciplinary monographs focus on the phenomenon of multilingualism in Central Europe. But Fellerer's study is the first one ever that illustrates and analyzes the actual practices of such polyglotism, as conditioned by the specific power, religious, economic and social relations in Austria-Hungary's eastern metropolis of Lwow."--Tomasz Kamusella, University of St. Andrews -- Tomasz Kamusella, University of St Andrews
"Seamlessly merging a historic ethnography of multilingual Galician Lviv with a fine-grained and nuanced linguistic analysis of its urban dialect, Fellerer's book breaks new theoretical and methodological ground and sets a new standard for what is possible in historical sociolinguistics."--Aneta Pavlenko, University of Oslo -- Aneta Pavlenko, University of Oslo
"The appearance of Jan Fellerer's monograph opens a new page in Polish studies, particularly, in its interdisciplinary context. Fellerer has succeeded in painting a fine-grained picture of historical multilingualism in Lviv before WWII and in singling out concrete linguistic characteristics of Lviv, the Polish borderland at that time. This monograph will remain a classic not only in the field of Polish and Slavic sociolinguistics, but also in language-based interdisciplinary studies dealing with multilingual regions in general."--Motoki Nomachi, Hokkaido University -- Motoki Nomachi, Hokkaido University
