Slavic Languages in Migration

This volume is a collection of articles based on presentations given at the conference "Slavic Languages in Migration". Language is a vehicle for cultural and literary efforts, and almost all the papers in this volume emphasize the rich culture sustained by Slavic languages. As global boundaries become more permeable due to the internet and the ease of language transmission, cultural traditions of home countries and countries of migration are likely to intertwine and enrich each other. But this is not some­thing that can happen overnight.
