Know about the book -
Germanic Language Histories 'from Below' (1700-2000) is written by Stephan Elspaß and published by Walter de Gruyter. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 311092546X (ISBN 10) and 9783110925463 (ISBN 13).
Focusing on the sociolinguistic history of Germanic languages, the current volume challenges the traditional teleological approach of language historiography. The 30 contributions present alternative histories of ten ‘big’ as well as ‘small’ Germanic languages and varieties in the last 300 years. Topics covered in this book include language variation and change and the politics of language contact and choice, seen against the background of standardization processes of written and oral text genres and from the viewpoint of larger sections of the population.
