In this interdisciplinary anthology, we focus on different aspects of how language is used to shape a nation; by retaining a national identity in the context of emigration, by measures taken to change an existing nation into a new one, by introducing a discourse designed to re-establish a putatively lost nation. Finally, we discuss how nation and identity are shaped in a modern multi-ethnic, multi-lingual and multi-cultural society. The anthology contains articles in English, French and German from political science, history, linguistics, literature and translatology and is written by researchers based in Finland, Greece, Norway and the United Kingdom. 330 1 $aOverall, I found the volume very interesting for various reasons. First, each contribution gives access to a complex context, being accessible without being simplistic. This facilitates international comparisons among the contexts described by contributors, as between these and readers' research context background. Second, through its international scope, Language and Nation. Crossroads and Connections covers the various dimensions of how language may be linked to nation. Third, the detailed historical and national backgrounds enable to situate contemporary national identity issues. Fourth, the written attention to readers makes this volume accessible to a wide audience, from undergraduate students to senior scholars, and including the experts interesting in understanding nation and identity building in the concerned contexts. --$cReview: Ste?phanie Cassilde in: Language, Discourse & Society, 2(8)/2016 606 $aLanguage 606 $anation 606 $amigration 606 $aliterature 606 $aEurope 606 $ainterdisciplinary 606 $aScandinavia 606 $aGDR 606 $aFront National 606 $aCanada 606 $aBrexit 606 $aEloy Alfaro 606 $aEurolect 606 $aNorway 606 $aSprache 606 $aLinguistik 606 $aDDR 606 $afremd 606 $aEuropa 606 $atranslation 606 $aGermanistik 606 $aVergleichende und interkulturelle Sprachwissenschaft 606 $aKultursoziologie 615 4$aLanguage 615 4$anation 615 4$amigration 615 4$aliterature 615 4$aEurope 615 4$ainterdisciplinary 615 4$aScandinavia 615 4$aGDR 615 4$aFront National 615 4$aCanada 615 4$aBrexit 615 4$aEloy Alfaro 615 4$aEurolect 615 4$aNorway 615 4$aSprache 615 4$aLinguistik 615 4$aDDR 615 4$afremd 615 4$aEuropa 615 4$atranslation 615 4$aGermanistik 615 4$aVergleichende und interkulturelle Sprachwissenschaft 615 4$aKultursoziologie 702 $aBarstad$b Guri Ellen$4edt 702 $aHjelde$b Arnstein$4edt 702 $aKvam$b Sigmund$4edt 702 $aParianou$b Anastasia$4edt 702 $aTodd$b John$4edt 801 0$bWaxmann 801 1$bWaxmann 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910563098703321 996 $aLanguage and Nation$92837303 997 $aUNINA
