About this book
Reviews
“Scholars and doctoral students in areas such as First World War Studies, transcultural studies, sociolinguistics, and the cultural history of war will find much of interest here.” (Heather Merle Benbow, First World War Studies, Vol. 9 (2), March, 2019)
“The First World War has long been recognised as possessing exceptional interest as an example of how social and political upheaval can transform linguistic practice. The editors of these two volumes deserve congratulation for assembling an international team of scholars and for publishing a fascinating collection of new and important research. For anyone interested in the subject at any level, Languages and the First World War: Communicating in a Transnational War will be an essential starting point.” (David Stevenson, Professor, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK)Editors and Affiliations
