This book uses a specialized corpus of public language-related
discourse to investigate links between language ideologies and
ethnonationalism in contemporary West Central Balkans. Despite a
century and a half of shared linguistic history, the nations making
up the central part of former Yugoslavia continue to debate the
ownership over the common language, creating much animosity, some
legal issues, and often absurd circumstances. At the heart of the
ongoing language debate over Central South Slavic is the belief in
language as the cornerstone of ethnonational identity and the
legitimacy of ethnic groups' claims to sovereignty. Given a history
of conflict and the recent resurgence in extreme ethnonationalism,
an understanding of ethnolinguistic contestation in the region is
as important as ever. This book will be of interest to social
scientists working in fields as diverse as (applied) linguistics,
anthropology, media studies, political science, sociology and
history, as well as other scholars with an interest in language and
society.
