| Abstract: | The article examines how monolingual ideologies shape language policies and identities in the Slovenian-Austrian border region through a qualitative analysis of interviews. Rooted in ethno-linguistic nationalism, these ideologies continue to influence language policies, particularly through linguistic purism and a persistent "discourse of threat". Monolingual narratives often overlook historical multilingual realities and cross-border communities. Interview data show that younger generations are shifting toward linguistic pragmatism, embracing local dialects, English, and a European identity. Overall, while nationalistic discourses still linger, generational change and EU integration foster a more inclusive understanding of languages and identities in the region. |
