Résumé

This book draws on the most exhaustive primary data on European autochthonous language groups. The data was collected within the EC funded Euromosaic project whose theoretical perspective determined the nature of the data. The book reasseses the data by suggesting that while it incorporates the inherent assumptions of the theory, it also allows the analyst to establish how the language object and the associated subjects are constructed in different ways across Europe. This observation is then incorporated into an evaluation of the extent to which the current discourses on democracy accommodate linguistic and cultural diversity.
