Reviews

'Reading the book, the authors' passion for small languages and the selected languages in particular is very evident. This results in convincingly written passages in which the authors' virtuosity in the field of sociolinguistics combines with interesting and sometimes even amusing examples from Corsican, Welsh, Irish and Sami.' Sven Leuckert, The Linguist List
