Divided Languages?: Diglossia, Translation and the Rise of Modernity in Japan, China, and the Slavic World by Judit Arokay
English | 30 Jan. 2014 | ISBN: 3319035207 | 265 Pages | PDF | 3 MB

Specialists from China, Japan, Great Britain, Germany and the U.S. contributed to the volume by introducing their research focusing on aspects of the dissolution of diglossic situations and the role of translation in the process. The first group of texts focuses on the linguistic concept of diglossia and the different processes of its dissolution, while the second investigates the perception of linguistic varieties in historical and transcultural perspectives. The third and final group analyses the changing cultural role and function of translations and their effect on newly developing literary languages.
