520 | _aMonolingual nationalism was hegemonic in 20th century Europe. This essay explores alternative nationalist ideologies in the 19th century that denied the centrality of 'mother tongue' and encouraged 'child exchange' to assure children's multilingualism. For many, the use of multiple languages in 19th century Hungary was compatible with loyalty to the Hungarian nation-state; indeed, certain identity categories were indexed by multilingualism. Moreover, multilingualism was not based on the standardizing ideology of authenticity vs. instrumentality that anchored both 20th century monolingualism and the multilingual ideologies propagated currently by the EU. The article outlines the field of diversity and debate out of which the hegemony of monolingualism arose. The conclusion suggests that scholars should focus not on multilingualism or monolingualism per se but on the changing ideological axes of differentiation around which they are organized. | ||
