The Languages and Linguistics of Europe
Open publicationThe Languages and Linguistics of Europe: A Comprehensive Guide is part of the multi-volume reference work on the languages and linguistics of the continents of the world. The book supplies profiles of the language families of Europe, including the sign languages. It also discusses the areal typology, paying attention to the Standard Average European, Balkan, Baltic and Mediterranean convergence areas. Separate chapters deal with the old and new minority languages and with non-standard varieties. A major focus is language politics and policies, including discussions of the special status of English, the relation between language and the church, language and the school, and standardization. The history of European linguistics is another focus as is the history of multilingual European 'empires' and their dissolution. The volume is especially geared towards a graduate and advanced undergraduate readership. It has been designed such that it can be used, as a whole or in parts, as a textbook, the first of its kind, for graduate programmes with a focus on the linguistic (and linguistics) landscape of Europe.
Doing Memory: Medieval Saints and Heroes and Their Afterlives in the Baltic Sea Region (19th-20th Centuries)
This anthology is about the representations and uses of medieval saints, heroes, and heroic events as elements of popular, local, and national culture during the 19th and 20th centuries in the Baltic Sea region: Scandinavia, Finland, Baltic countries, Northern Germany and North-Western Russia. Authors examine the processes of how medieval saints and heroes have been remembered, commemorated, interpreted, used, and reflected during modernity, and by whom. The focus of the anthology is on "doing" memory as a practice that commemorated the past and shaped spaces and identities in the present. It approaches the memory of saints and heroes, for example, Swedish Saints Birgitta and Eric, Danish Sa...
Contemporary Approaches to Baltic Linguistics
This book is a collection of articles dealing with various aspects of the Baltic languages (Lithuanian, Latvian and Latgalian), which have only marginally featured in the discourse of theoretical linguistics and linguistic typology. The aim of the book is to bridge the gap between the study of the Baltic languages, on the one hand, and the current agenda of the theoretical and typological approaches to language, on the other. The book comprises 13 articles dealing with various aspects of phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, lexicon, and their interactions, plus a lengthy introduction, whose aim is to outline the state of the art in the research on the Baltic languages.

Przedmurze cywilizacji
Wojownicy Piastów dający odpór pruskiej nawałnicy. Polski bastion przeciw litewskim barbarzyńcom. Ostatnia twierdza zachodu, zdolna powstrzymać Tatarów i Turków. Żaden kraj nie stanowił granicy cywilizacji przez dziesięć stuleci. Żaden poza Polską. Michael Morys-Twarowski – autor bestsellerowego Polskiego imperium, które przypomniało dziesiątkom tysięcy Polaków, o tym, że zbudowaliśmy najprawdziwsze mocarstwo – przypomina jedno z najsłynniejszych haseł z rodzimej historii. I dowodzi, że Przedmurze to znacznie więcej, niż pokryty patyną slogan. Katastrofa mongolskiego najazdu. Nawrócenie ostatniego pogańskiego kraju Europy. Bitwy, które pozwoliły Polsce sięgnąć niemal po Morze Czarne i które powstrzymały Imperium Osmańskie przed marszem na Wiedeń i w głąb kontynentu. Rola strażnika cywilizacji zdeterminowała całe dzieje Polski. I do dzisiaj stanowi o tym, kim jesteśmy.
