Title: Language Politics, Language Situations and Conflicts in Multilingual Societies. Case Studies from Contemporary Russia, Ukraine and Belarus
Abstract: From the middle of the last century, there has been a continuous growth in sociolinguistic research on bi-and multilingualism and language conflicts.PETER NELDE's statement that there can be no language contact without language conflict 1 stands for the longstanding incorporation of language conflict research into the discipline of contact linguistics.Clearly, the research field regarding language conflicts is much broader than the scope of language contact research.In order to shed light on the complex relationships of language(s) and conflict(s) and, accordingly, to contribute to the necessary expansion of the research field into language conflicts, the present volume addresses a broad spectrum of questions and issues regarding language politics and language situations in connection with language conflicts in multilingual societies in Eastern Europe.Most notably, this volume is a combination of theoretical and methodical considerations with elaborate empirical research in the form of mass surveys or focus group discussions.This book is the second volume presenting the results of an international sociolinguistic project that compared bi-and multilingual situations in present-day Ukraine and Russia.The project's first volume was published in 2020: cf.Daniel Müller and Monika Wingender (eds.),Discourse and Practice of Bilingualism.Contemporary Ukraine and Russia / Tatarstan.
