Abstract / Description of output
The chapter outlines the roots to the kind of nationalism currently on the advance in Scotland as well as the historical background for Scots as a language and it further explores how these two factors relate to Scottish identity. The case of Norwegian, which was shaped as a result of ethnic nationalism, is employed to highlight the contrasting role of the Scots language in the civic type of nationalism developed in Scotland.
