As a result of migration, more than 25% of the native speakers of Romanian now reside outside Romania and Moldova. The present volume focuses on Romanian as a language of migrants (1th and 2nd generation) in various migration contexts: both within and outside Europe. The contributions examine the intergenerational transmission of Romanian, its use by domains, the effects of language contact with Romance, Germanic and Slavic languages, as well as specifi c scenarios of migration and different methods of migration research.
