      abstract = {This edited book fills a void in the existing research  concerning anti-communist movements in Central and Eastern  Europe, outlining the linguistic implications of the  cultural, social and political metamorphoses brought about  by the (change of) regime. The authors included in this  volume approach the topic from a variety of perspectives,  but, ultimately, focus on language seen as a fundamental  tool for simultaneously subjugating and liberating,  concealing and revealing truth, discouraging dissidence and  fostering revolt. Readers are invited to discover the  linguistic implications of the many shapes and forms that  the 1989 anti-communist revolutions took. Equally  interesting are the investigations of the revolution  aftermath, in the first years of transition to democracy.  Perceived as a whole throughout the Cold War (1947-1991),  the so-called "Eastern Bloc" managed to reveal its  heterogeneity, the singularity of each of its comprising  states and the multitude of its internal contrasts, most  vividly perhaps, in the manifold manifestations of the 1989  anti-communist fight. This book will be of interest to  academics and researchers from various fields, including  history, (socio)linguistics, political studies, and  conflict studies.
