Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This book gives insight into aspects of contemporary Europe's linguistic and cultural heritage. While all contributors, who are linguists by training, are concerned with language they view it from widely different angles. The book therefore represents a multidisciplinary approach to common concerns.

Includes bibliographies.
