This is a highly interesting, well-researched and well-edited book. It is very useful for scholars interested in multilingualism and discourse studies, and it provides an excellent methodological tool-kit for future research. In its practical implications, it is also highly relevant for policy makers both on the national and EU levels -- Lelija Socanac, University of Zagreb, Croatia Linguist List
