Title: Informative and objective
Product review: Greenberg's book is an accessible, informative and thought-provoking presentation of the effects of nationalism on language of Bosnians, Croats, Montenegrins and Serbs. My only regret was that it seemed somewhat short but this is a minor quibble and does not detract from the objectivity and clarity of Greenberg's analysis. This is highly recommended for anyone interested in sociolinguistics and nationalism, those studying BCS (i.e. Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian) / Serbo-Croatian and would like some background information on the controversies that have arisen when using the language(s), or for people from the former Yugoslavia who are receptive to outsiders' analysis and willing to go beyond the nationalist preconceptions that they have grown up with.
