The present volume is a collection of papers presented at the
international conference "Linguistic Awareness and Dissolution of
Diglossia" held in July 2011 at Heidelberg University. The aim is
to reevaluate and compare the processes of dissolution of diglossia
in East Asian and in European languages, especially in Japanese,
Chinese and in Slavic languages in the framework of the asymmetries
in the emergence of modern written languages. Specialists from
China, Japan, Great Britain, Germany and the U.S. contributed to
the volume by introducing their research focusing on aspects of the
dissolution of diglossic situations and the role of translation in
the process. The first group of texts focuses on the linguistic
concept of diglossia and the different processes of its
dissolution, while the second investigates the perception of
linguistic varieties in historical and transcultural perspectives.
The third and final group analyses the changing cultural role and
function of translations and their effect on newly developing
literary languages.
