This is an automatically translated description

The book Language and Nation, written by professors at Drohobych University, was first published in 1990 during the turbulent times of the collapse of the Soviet empire and the unfolding of the next stage of the Ukrainian national revival. It immediately became a bestseller and a classic of linguistic and sociological thought. It is also very relevant in our troubled times of the Moscow-Ukraine war, when the problem of the survival of Ukrainian culture, nation, and state has become more acute. The problem of language is also constantly present in contemporary socio-political discussions. Unfortunately, in this fateful period of our history, not everyone still understands its role as a human, nation- and state-building factor.

The proposed work in the concise form of abstracts broadly covers linguistic issues related to the essence, role and functioning of language in society, reveals the mechanism of denationalisation of the people on linguistic grounds, and provides scientific material necessary for every citizen to develop a linguistically significant worldview and a proper attitude towards their native and other languages.

The publication is addressed to all those who care about the fate of their native people and their language, who are interested in the humanities.
