Rezensionen

"Languages after Brexit: How the UK Speaks to the World is a timely and thought-provoking study. ... the first book-length research of the linguistic issues pertaining to Brexit and should be of interest to all who are involved in the academic study of the interplay between languages and politics. ... It is believed that more research output in this respect will be yielded." (Hong Diao, Journal of Language and Politics, Vol. 19 (1), 2018)
