Recenzje

Shallow Equality and Symbolic Jurisprudence in Multilingual Legal Orders is an innovative and wellwritten account of the proliferation of official multilingualism. It is impressive in the breadth of its research, capturing a broad range of primary data, and incorporating theory across multiple disciplines, ranging from sociolinguistics, through statutory interpretation to political science. Leung's ability to transform this rich interdisciplinary work into accessible and engaging writing means that the book is suitable for and relevant to diverse academic audiences.
