Subjective national identities in Catalonia

This article relies on socio-demographic surveys to shed light on Subjective National Identity (SNI) in Catalonia, its variation between 1984 and 2001, and the social variables associated with it. While the data shows a close interrelationship between language and national identity, it also shows the increasing impact of the regional government's linguistic policy. Finally, the article explores the interconnection of SNI with the varying stances taken on the national question in Catalonia.
