＂Scotland’s efforts to establish and assert its distinct national identity have a long tradition. National identity has been a central theme throughout the centuries in a country where
economic, political, and social issues have tended to be closely bound up with questions of national mentality and emotion. This book examines the part played by Scottish newspapers in
constructing identity during a key period of the devolution process, 1997-2011. It uses insights from the fields of linguistics, sociology and cognitive science on the construction of
culturally defined knowledge and the notions of identity that emerge from it. The study contributes to the understanding of Scottish identity, and its evaluations are relevant beyond the
immediate context of Scotland and the United Kingdom＂--Provided by publisher.
