Annotation

This study presents the main results of a contact-linguistic case study (2003) on language attitudes among 16 to 18-year-old Swedish-speaking Finns (Finland) and Sorbs (Germany). The study uses a language attitude model in which the minority language is embedded in its specific sociohistorical context.
