Annotation

This nexus-analytic study of language shift in Bugønes, a Norwegian Kven community, underscoring that discourses and individual social actors possess a history and thus cannot be explored without reference to the past, exemplifies how large-scale language policy discourses get internalized and later on materialized in action via language choice.
