Book Description
Greek Language, Italian Landscape traces the transformation of language ideologies and practices of Griko, a variety of Modern Greek used in the Italian province of Lecce, and proposes the concept of "the cultural temporality of language" to describe how locals are converting what was once considered a "backward language" into a symbolic resource.
