This is the first comprehensive volume to compare the
sociolinguistic situations of minorities in Russia and in Western
Europe. As such, it provides insight into language policies, the
ethnolinguistic vitality and the struggle for reversal of language
shift, language revitalization and empowerment of minorities in
Russia and the European Union. The volume shows that, even though
largely unknown to a broader English-reading audience, the
linguistic composition of Russia is by no means less diverse than
multilingualism in the EU. It is therefore a valuable introduction
into the historical backgrounds and current linguistic, social and
legal affairs with regard to Russia's manifold ethnic and
linguistic minorities, mirrored on the discussion of recent issues
in a number of well-known Western European minority situations.
The publications of the Hakluyt Society (founded in 1846) made
available edited (and sometimes translated) early accounts of
exploration. The first series, which ran from 1847 to 1899,
consists of 100 books containing published or previously
unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir
Francis Drake, and covering voyages to the New World, to China and
Japan, to Russia and to Africa and India. This volume (published in
1855) contains three narratives: Frederick Martens' description of
a voyage to Spitzbergen in 1671, first translated into English and
published in 1694 in a book of voyages dedicated to Samuel Pepys,
then Secretary to the Admiralty; the Relation du Groeneland of
Isaac de la Peyr re (published anonymously in French in 1663 and
specially translated for this book); and the extraordinary account
of the survival of eight Englishmen 'left by mischance in
Green-land' for nine months in 1630.
This edited collection provides an overview of linguistic
diversity, societal discourses and interaction between majorities
and minorities in the Baltic States. It presents a wide range of
methods and research paradigms including folk linguistics,
discourse analysis, narrative analyses, code alternation,
ethnographic observations, language learning motivation, languages
in education and language acquisition. Grouped thematically, its
chapters examine regional varieties and minority languages
(Latgalian, Voro, urban dialects in Lithuania, Polish in
Lithuania); the integration of the Russian language and its
speakers; and the role of international languages like English in
Baltic societies. The editors' introductory and concluding chapters
provide a comparative perspective that situates these issues within
the particular history of the region and broader debates on
language and nationalism at a time of both increased globalization
and ethno-regionalism. This book will appeal in particular to
students and scholars of multilingualism, sociolinguistics,
language discourses and language policy, and provide a valuable
resource for researchers focusing on Baltic States, Northern Europe
and the post-Soviet world in the related fields of history,
political science, sociology and anthropology.

Die Erforschung von Sprache im oeffentlichen Raum (Linguistic
Landscapes, LL) hat sich in den vergangen 20 Jahren als Teilgebiet
der Soziolinguistik, der Semiotik und anderer Disziplinen fest
etabliert. Der vorliegende Band gibt einen UEberblick zu zentralen
Ansatzen der LL-Forschung mit einem Bezug zur deutschen Sprache.
Die Beitrage stellen aktuelle Studien aus dem deutschsprachigen
Raum, zu Deutsch als Minderheitensprache sowie aus Landern mit
einer ausgepragten DaF-Tradition vor. Sie thematisieren
sprachstrukturelle und soziolinguistische ebenso wie didaktische,
methodische und technologische Aspekte. Damit tragt der Band zu
einer Systematisierung der deutschsprachigen LL-Forschung bei, gibt
Impulse fur internationale Diskussionen und benennt wichtige
Desiderata.
