The History and Dynamics of Ethnolinguistic Nationalism in Central Europe During the 19th and 20th

Activity: Talk or presentation types › Public lecture/debate/seminar

Description

A special attention is paid to the politically motivated creation of languages (Serbocroatoslovenian/Yugoslav/Serbo-Croatian, Czechoslovak) and splitting of languages (from Serbo-Croatian to Bosnian, Bunjevcan, Croatian, Macedonian, Montenegrin, Serbian). I would also dwell on the question of recognizing and naming languages. (For instance, on the Moldovan/Romanian official language in Moldova, and on Bulgaria's recognition of Macedonia, alongside Sofia's insistence that there is no Macedonian language or nation.)
