Using Norway - where language has played a particularly silent role in the nation's history - as a case study, Gregg Bucken-Knapp explores these questions and challenges the notion that the politicization of language conflict is a response to language problems. He shows that political elites often view language conflict as a political opportunity, placing it on the policy agenda as an effective mobilizing tool to serve their own nonlinguistic political ends. Although language-oriented interest groups may fight to achieve desired language policies, they are generally unsuccessful when their preferences clash with the broader objectives of political elites. This book focuses on understanding just how language policies emerge."--Jacket 606 $aNorwegian language (Nynorsk)$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aNorwegian language$xSocial aspects$y19th century 606 $aNorwegian language$xSocial aspects$y20th century 606 $aSami language 606 $aNationalism$zNorway$xHistory 615 0$aNorwegian language (Nynorsk)$xHistory 615 0$aNorwegian language$xSocial aspects 615 0$aNorwegian language$xSocial aspects 615 0$aSami language. 615 0$aNationalism$xHistory. 676 $a306.44/09481 700 $aBucken-Knapp$b Gregg$0895218 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910975129103321 996 $aElites, language, and the politics of identity$94354360 997 $aUNINA
