In what ways has language been central to constructing, challenging
and reconfiguring social and political boundaries? This volume
traverses space and time to explore the construction of such
boundaries. Focusing on the ways that language functions as an
inclusive and divisive marker of identity, the volume includes case
studies on Scandinavia, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. It
also explores the northern and southern borderlands of present-day
Germany as well as the city of Cologne and the surrounding Ruhr
area. The chapters critically engage with focused accounts of past
and present language situations, practices and policies. Taken as a
whole, the volume stresses the importance of studying
metalinguistic perspectives as a means of enabling detailed
analyses and challenging generalizations.
