Book Description
Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject Speech Science / Linguistics, grade: 1.7, Åbo Akademi University Vasa, language: English, abstract: Finland is an officially bilingual country with the two national languages Swedish and Finnish. The language situation nowadays bases on the history of the country and important decisions made throughout the years. This thesis will at first show the historical background of the language development and describe the contemporary language situation. Afterwards the development of the language situation in Finnish education will be presented and in the end the special (language) situation of the Åland islands will be described. This essay will not deal with the treatment of other languages than Finnish and Swedish in Finland. There exist for example regulations concerning the Nordic and Sámi languages (cp. McRae, 1999, p. 230-231). In addition, it will not treat preschool education, adult education or vocational education.

Book Description
More than half a million Swedes – one in twenty – is of Finnish descent. This book explores Finnishness, multilingualism and identities of young people with Finnish background in Sweden. What does it mean to grow up in a Finnish family in Sweden? Who are ‘real Finns’ and what does it take to be(come) one? Is a shared minority language essential for the survival of the minority, or can a minority culture stay viable without it? What is Finnishness and who, in the end, can define ethnicity? How to make sense of, and how to present interviews that are rich with imitations of accents, jokes and laughter? Representations of Finnishness is Sweden is an ethnographic interview study in the domain of applied language studies. This book is aimed at readers interested in sociolinguistics, linguistic ethnography, and the study of identities. Interviewees’ voices take a central position in this book and interview excerpts are used not only as illustrations, but also serve as starting points for discussing broader theoretical concepts.
