This collection of papers presents a range of views about the three-layered language situation in Sweden, a situation not unlike that in many other countries worldwide. The papers include the following: "Introduction" (Sally Boyd and Leena Huss); "Swedish, English, and the European Union" (Bjorn Melander), which summarizes studies that focus on the question of the English language's influence on Swedish, primarily as a result of Sweden's membership in the European Union; "The Protection and Rejection of Minority and Majority Languages in the Swedish School System" (Jarmo Lainio), which presents a minority language perspective about the situation in Swedish schools concerning the national language, minority languages (particularly Finnish), and English; "Swedish Tomorrow: A Product of the Linguistic Dominance of English?" (Britt-Louise Gunnarsson), which discusses the role of English in Sweden, primarily in the written medium; and "The World Came to Sweden--But Did Language Rights?" (Tove Skutnabb-Kangas and Robert Phillipson), which examines the role of global English, focusing on myths about the benefits of English as a neutral lingua franca and noting weaknesses of various international legal documents in regard to protecting linguistic human rights.
