The Language of the Moldovans explores this question from the perspective of debates about the languages spoken by the people of this ex-Soviet state. Locating language as a central point of both cohesion and conflict in the region's recent history, the peculiarities of the Moldovans are illustrated by a survey of language attitudes, a series of ethnographic interviews, and extensive observations by the author. The result is an image of an emerging nation that is, at once, similar to the experiences of other ex-Soviet states and uniquely complex. Much of that complexity lies in the population's extensive multilingualism and in uncertainty about the Romanian-ness of the official language. This cross-discipline volume is of great interest to advanced students and researchers of linguistics, political science, and Eastern European studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51952462659872,"sku":"NEW0739114433","price":172.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-language-of-the-moldovans-romania-russia-and-identity-in-an-ex-soviet-republic-0739114433","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
