Rezensionen

"The author highlights how the use of Irish in these domains, which are deeply embedded in the complex processes of information exchange and human mobility that characterise globalization ... . Moriarty's book also contributes to current scholarly debates in language policy. ... this is an area deserving of more conceptual effort in general in language policy." (Kristof Savski, Journal of Language and Politics, Vol. 18 (3), 2019)
