{"product_id":"politics-and-the-slavic-languages-tomasz-kamusella-9780367569846","title":"Politics and the Slavic Languages","description":"\u003cp\u003eDuring the last two centuries, ethnolinguistic nationalism has been the norm of nation building and state building in Central Europe. The number of recognized Slavic languages (in line with the normative political formula of language = nation = state) gradually tallied with the number of the Slavic nation-states, especially after the breakups of Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia. But in the current age of borderless cyberspace, regional and minority Slavic languages are freely standardized and used, even when state authorities disapprove. As a result, since the turn of the 19th century, the number of Slavic languages has varied widely, from a single Slavic language to as many as 40.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough the story of Slavic languages, this timely book illustrates that decisions on what counts as a language are neither permanent nor stable, arguing that the politics of language is the politics in Central Europe. The monograph will prove to be an essential resource for scholars of linguistics and politics in Central Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tomasz Kamusella\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367569841\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367569846\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/18\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.81d","brand":"Tomasz Kamusella","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136019378431,"sku":"9780367569846","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f78f40af-8c05-4a9c-b81d-0e28b4917e9d.jpg?v=1770159971","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/politics-and-the-slavic-languages-tomasz-kamusella-9780367569846","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
