of these essays was to reassess Byron's poetry, his poetic
development, and his relation to his contemporaries in light of
recent scholarship and criticism. This title will be of interest to

Bruxelles, Bern, Berlin, Frankfurt/M., New York, Oxford, Wien. The
important question of how to bring the European Union closer to its
citizens is bound up with the issue of how individuals, groups and
nation states express and assert identity, with one of the
fundamental challenges how to approach and deal with multilingual
communication. This study assesses language use in a multilingual
trans-European speech community. It examines language learning at
school, university and elsewhere, languages spoken at home and in
the workplace, and speakers' attitudes towards language learning
and future linguistic solutions in Europe. The speech community
selected for the case study are graduates of the College of Europe,
a postgraduate institution of European Studies. Amongst other
questions, this publication asks why these particular speakers are
multilingual, and whether a two-tier Europe is developing in terms
of foreign language skills. Using the case study as a point of
departure for further discussion, the author explores how a balance
may be achieved between managing effective communication between
speakers, whilst maintaining the right of the individuals to use
their own mother tongue. Contents: Sociolinguistics - Foreign
language learning - Language use and choice - Language attitudes.
