When East Met West - Sociolinguistics in the Former Socialist Bloc

This volume offers a comprehensive presentation of the development of sociolinguistic research in several East European countries.
The topis covered include structural stratification, minority languages, language and disadvantage, and dilectology, as well as the structure of research institutes and methods of funding in the East.
The book makes available bibliographies and summaries of sociolinguistic research on languages not well known to Western European and American readers: Belorussian, Bulgarian, Czech, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, and Slovak.
All papers in this volume draw extensively on unpublished or otherwise unavailable sources including manuscripts, correspondence, conference proceedings, and internal institutional reviews, as well as many inaccessible published sources.
