Beyond Boundaries: Language and Identity in Contemporary Europe

Eleven contributions from foreign language teachers Gubbins and Holt (both U. of Salford) and other academics discuss issues surrounding language identity in Europe. Topics include, for example, how language fosters a sense of national identity, the linguistic consequences of the expansion of the European Union, and the increasingly violent conflict between French and Arabic speakers in Algiers.
