摘要
The paper will discuss the strong relationship between language and identity in Norway with specific reference to the unique situation of an official language with two forms (Bokmal and Nynorsk). I will try to illustrate the role of the Norwegian language in the process of building national identity in Norway. One of the important voices in the ongoing debate regarding the two forms of Norwegian is that of the famous author Jon Fosse, an important Nynorsk writer as well, whose arguments will be used to make the point that language is a vital component of the identity of a people and the right to speak it cannot be taken away on the basis of the number of people speaking it.
