ISBN: 9780415827348 / Angielski / Twarda / 1792 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The language-specific articles collected here are arranged geographically, and each language-chapter is preceded by a short introduction to the linguistic situation of the language(es) involved and, if not given in the papers and book-chapters themselves, to...

Geographically and politically off-centre, Friuli remained isolated for a long part of its history, thus developing a unique language that sustained a...
