| Abstract | The development of the idea of the nation has historically required the fixing of a population in both time and space. One of the key ways of accomplishing this goal has been to construct groups by creating boundaries for their languages and their cultures (as well, as, frequently, their biological characteristics), that is, by fixing language and culture in space and in a particular set of bodies. A second, and related, method has been to construct a narrative of temporal continuity. This frame, of course, simultaneously produces temporal and spatial variability as problems to be regulated – problems which lie at the heart of sociolinguistics as a discipline. In the contemporary era, our discipline has increasingly argued for seeing such variability as normal, and, possibly, as a hallmark of our era. |
