Identità nazionale e lingua: politica linguistica e pianificazione linguistica nell'Ucraina sovietica interbellica
Abstract
The article highlights the importance of the interwar period for the development of the Ukrainian language in contemporary Ukraine. It briefly summarizes the main trends in language policy in the 1920s and 1930s, then focuses on the approach to the activity of language planning in the so-called Ukrainization period (1925-1932). It is stressed that the relationship between language and nation, and language and identity, influenced by the German model of nation, is crucial not only to understanding the normalization activity in the 1920s, but also for contemporary developments in the fields of language policy and language implementation.
