  This article investigates and applies the concept of language emancipation to the situation of the Kven language in Norway. This is done from a historical perspective by addressing the role of language in the ideological construction of the Norwegian nation-state, and from a contemporary perspective through the analysis of the consequences of Norway's ratification of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages. This ratification has lead to the recognition of Kven as a language. Through describing the historical development of Norwegian language policy with regard to Kven, this article discusses how this case is an example of nationalist or modernist language emancipation progressing to the contemporary situation where language emancipation processes reflect language policies which are in favor of Kven. This discussion is carried out in the context of current language ideology theory and shows that nationalist language emancipation is being reapplied in the contemporary language emancipation context. This is particularly the situation in the process of the standardization of Kven which, despite the best intentions of those involved, may result in a standard which not all Kven speakers can identify with.

  Studies of language shift often are retrospective: due to the lack of longitudinal data speakers are asked about choices made in the past. This lecture presents a real-time study of language shift in Bugøynes, a Kven community in Northern Norway, by comparing and contrasting stories of language choice told by the same individuals in 1975 and 2009.. The minorities in Northern Norway went through a period of linguistic and cultural oppression during the Norwegian nation building process in the 19th century. Many Kven and Sámis came to regard their mother tongue as languages of little value and spoke Norwegian only to their children, leading to a loss of intergenerational language transmission (Fishman 1991). In 1975 the oppressive policies had just been abandoned, but the children who grew up in the 70s were spoken to in Norwegian only. Thus, the interviews in 1975 were conducted at the onset of language shift. Today, there is another period of transition as the Kven language recently has been granted status as a language. In 1975, hardly anyone disputed the importance of speaking only Norwegian to their children. Now the power relations are less asymmetrical, other discourses have emerged and people question and challenge the previous policies of assimilation. Narratives can give insight into these complex dynamics between the individual and the social (Bamberg 2007), and further, narratives encompass the historical dimension essential for the study of language shift as they (re)construct the links between the past, present and future (Pavlenko and Blackledge 2004), connections which for the individual can be broken through the process of language shift. Narratives are told in real time, and through their telling we can identify trajectories to the past. Therefore, narratives are a useful methodological and theoretical tool for the analysis of language shift. Narratives have both a referential function (telling what happened) and an evaluative function (conveying the significance of what happene) and the retelling of a narrative strengthens its evaluative role because successive narratives incorporate parts of earlier stories (Schiffrin 2006). The narratives from Bugøynes provide information about factual events and also the people’s evaluation of these events and the significance attributed to them and hence, they shed light on the interrelationship between language and identity.

  FROM DIALECT TO LANGUAGE THROUGH EUROPEAN LEGISLATION Pia Lane Department of Linguistics and Scandinavian Studies, P.O. Box 1102 Blindern, N-0317 Oslo, Norway OBJECTIVES The border between a language and a dialect is not always clear. For the European historical minority languages recognition depends both on national legislation and European legislation. This paper will analyse the interplay between European and national legislation by investigating the situation of Kven, a minority language in Northern Norway. Kven recently gained recognition as a language, while it previously had been classified as a dialect of Finnish. The paper will also address more implicit language policy issues such as the minority group members’ acceptance and contestation of the new status of Kven. METHODS The data come from sociolinguistic interviews, official monitoring reports by the Council of Europe, the Norwegian government and the Kven interest organisation and debates carried out in local newspapers. RESULTS Norway has ratified the European Charter for the Protection of Regional or Minority Languages, but initially did not differentiate between Kven and Finnish. The Charter sets out the objectives and principles on which national policies should be based (Huss 2008). The Council of Europe repeatedly pointed out that because Norway did not differentiate between Kven and Finnish, evaluating the measures taken to protect and promote Kven was difficult and recommended that Norway clarified the situation. Kven got recognised as a language in 2005, and a language council is developing a written standard for Kven. The standardisation of Kven is not an undisputed process. Some disapprove of using Kven as a term for their language but favour standardisation; others maintain that it would be better to write standard Finnish; some express concern that elements from their dialect might not be incorporated in the new standard, and a number of Kven welcome both the standardisation and the term Kven. Those criticising the standardisation process frequently state that the Kven speakers involved in this process are removed from the grassroots and carry out language planning from their ivory tower position. CONCLUSION The acceptance of Kven and its standardisation process demonstrate how language policy is formed on the national and European level, but also how such policies to varying degrees are embraced, accepted and sometimes contested on the more informal group levels. This interplay between the local, regional, national and European processes are important as after the ratification of the Charter, the minority language users, their representatives, researchers and others got the possibility bypass the national level and address the Council of Europe directly, through the monitoring mechanism implemented by the Council of Europe. Therefore, they became less dependent on national minority language policies. Thus, the analysis of the situation of the Kven language sheds light on these complex relationships. Huss (2008).
