Invisible Languages in the Nineteenth Century by Joseph Salmons
This book focuses on the nineteenth century as the time when language became an important part of the cultural identity of speakers, communities and nations. It seeks to explore why and how certain linguistic varieties were excluded from written discourse, in other words, why they remain invisible to contemporary readers and modern historians.
