Urban Multilingualism in East-Central Europe - The Polish Dialect of Late-Habsburg LVIV

Urban Multilingualism in East-Central Europe makes the case for an interdisciplinary approach to past urban multilingualism, using both historical and linguistic resources. It analyzes the Polish-Ukrainian-Yiddish-German encounter of late-Habsburg Lemberg (Lviv) and the city's distinct historical Polish dialect that resulted from it.
