This book explores the dynamics of language and social change in central Europe in the context of the end of the Cold War and eastern expansion of the European Union. One outcome of the profound ...social transformations in central Europe since the Second World War has been the reshaping of the relationship between particular languages and linguistic varieties, especially between 'national' languages and regional or ethnic minority languages. Previous studies have investigated these transformed relationships from the macro perspective of language policies, while others have taken more fine-grained approaches to individual experiences with language. Combining these two perspectives for the first time--and focusing on the German language, which has a uniquely complex and problematic history in the region--the authors offer an understanding of the complex constellation of language politics in central Europe.
Stevenson and Carl's analysis draws on a range of theoretical, conceptual and analytical approaches - language ideologies, language policy, positioning theory, discourse analysis, narrative analysis and life histories - and a wide range of data sources, from European and national language policies to individual language biographies. The authors demonstrate how the relationship between German and other languages has played a crucial role in the politics of language and processes of identity formation in the recent history of central Europe.
Recommendations from Others The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists (ACOG) states that, although there are no published data to support this recommendation, it seems prudent to use a 30- ...to 35-mcg rather than a 20- to 25-mcg estrogen-containing oral contraceptive in women taking enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs.16 The ACOG also recommends using condoms with oral contraceptives or using intrauterine devices in women taking enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs. The World Health Organization advises against using combined oral contraceptive pills and progestin-only pills in women taking enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs unless a better contraceptive method is not available or not acceptable to the patient; however, injectable medroxyprogesterone (Depo-Provera) is still a recommended method.18 Clinical Commentary In the family medicine setting where I practice, we see a fair number of women taking antiepileptic drugs for seizure disorders, migraines, various mood disorders, and chronic pain.
Supplementing women's diets with 400 mcg folic acid every day reduces the incidence of neural tube defects in their offspring by up to 72%. Optimizing diabetic glucose control prior to conception is ...linked to a reduction in birth defects and pregnancy loss. Limiting caffeine consumption to no more than 200 mg per day may reduce the risk of miscarriage.
