    Abstract

    Arturo Tosi's new monograph is a worthy successor to Language and Society in a Changing Italy (2000), for both publications investigate the relationship between the languages and the national societies of the early modern period through a transnational lens. As a linguist, Tosi contributes to the cultural history of the Grand Tour by analysing the contribution made by elite educational travel to the standardisation of modern languages, and the codification of their dialects. While studying the linguistic diversity of European languages, this publication aims to demonstrate that social interactions were at the heart of the development of modern vernaculars.
