Abstract

he volume Language Choice in Enlightenment Europe offers a significant contribution to the field of study of “social history of language”. All articles in the volume aimto refute “the traditional image of the monolingual character of the world of the Ancine Régime by showing the unexpected riches of multi- and plurilingualism, the competition between languages and the impact of languages on national consciousness and vice versa” (8). The case studies examined in this book only concentrate on a number of European countries (France; Holland; the Hapsburg Empire, including Hungary, Estonia, and Croatia; the Russian Empire), but nevertheless propose a good exemplification of the linguistic diversity in use in European society during the Enlightenment.
