The special issue of “Russian Journal of Linguistics”

The special issue of “Russian Journal of Linguistics” based on the talks presented at the First Eurasian Congress of Linguists surveys current theoretical and methodological trends in language policy research in multilingual and multiethnic societies, with particular attention to the post-Soviet space and the Russian Federation. The contributions to this special issue explore language policy, identity, multilingual education, language maintenance, and revitalization across a range of global and local contexts. Together, the volume demonstrates that multilingualism is a normative social condition requiring flexible, multi-scalar, and socially responsive policy frameworks.
