Official language use in Berehove in 1919-1920
Abstrak
The political map of East-Central Europe changed after the First World War. But this transformation also affected many different aspects of everyday life. In particular, the years of transition from the collapsing empires to the new republics offer rich research opportunities. In this paper, we have tried to explore one aspect of this transition at the interface of history and sociolinguistics. In a peripheral small town in the Czechoslovak Republic, we have used archival sources to investigate the characteristics of the official language use at the beginning of the consolidation of the new state power. Our study also seeks to find answers to the question of what influenced the different language-speaking actors at different levels of the administration, and what bargains were struck in everyday life that might have determined other aspects of the transition.
