Contributions to Psychohistory: VIII. Perspectives on Bilingual Education in the Austrian Empire and the United States of America: Is the Assumption of Temporal Catenation of Linguistic and Territorial Separatism Valid?

Abstract

Speeches of a minority representative made in the Austrian parliament between 1892 and 1907 were abstracted for statements pertaining to bilingual and multi-cultural education. Using a method of transtemporal cognitive matching, these statements were compared with statements emulating the opinions of contemporary advocates and opponents of bilingual education. Results were interpreted within the historical context of coincidence of linguistic and territorial separatism.
