Language and Nation in Europe - According to nationalistic claims, language is seen as a proof of the "historical existence" of a nation. The instrumental and symbolic value that the language assumes for the unifying nationalism is defined by its ability to establish the nation in authenticity and continuity. Language is also a fundamental tool to exercise power, since it allows socio-cultural and political involvement and integration.

Keywords: Language, nation, linguistic hierarchies, cultural nationalism.
