Acid Rain: A Description of Bilingual Friesland.
Zondag, Koen
Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, v5 n3-4 p339-49 Jun 1984
Using acid rain as a metaphor, discusses the status of the Frisian language and culture as one which, though apparently thriving, is really threatened. Examines the sources of this threat, i.e., the education system, the church, mass communication and transportation, and the demise of the Frisian village community. (SED)
