Recenzje

'… [the author's] insights made this book an invaluable tool for exploring language attitudes and ideologies, while addressing issues on how to 'save a language,' with a reference to what it means to the islanders and how it affects them in the first place.' Zuzana S. Elliott, The LINGUIST List (https://linguistlist.org)
