Within the European context, linguistic diversity can be studied at
the level of both official state languages and non-national languages.
This comprehensive overview offers insightful crossnational and
crosscontinental perspectives on non-national languages in terms of
both regional and immigrant languages. The book focuses on mapping
linguistic diversity in both the private and public domain.
Methodological issues and empirical outcomes are explored for a
variety of European and non-European countries and languages. The book
consists of four parts. Part 1 provides an introduction to the
subject, as well as an overview and discussion of migration statistics
and language use. Part 2 deals with the mapping of regional languages
in Europe, exemplified by case studies on Welsh, Basque, and Frisian.
Part 3 focuses on immigrant languages in Europe and includes case
studies from both national (Switzerland, Italy, France) and
crossnational (Multilingual Cities Project) perspectives. Part 4 turns
to mapping linguistic diversity abroad with case studies on Australia,
South Africa, Turkey, and Japan.
