Pidgin, Chaos and Cultural Communication : A Case of Sport-based Exchange between Finland and Sweden at the Turn of the Twentieth Century

Herd, Katarzyna LU orcid (2022) In Ethnologia Scandinavica 52. p.25-42
Abstract
In this article, I focus on cultural communication between Finland and Sweden,
exemplified by sport-related texts from Swedish newspapers and magazines at the turn of the twentieth century. At that particular point in time, the linguistic barrier between the two nations was relatively easy to breach (which will be problematized further). This enabled an exchange to take place, which helped to shape the cultural identities in both countries. This article explores the possibilities of applying the term “pidginization” as a process referring to cultural communication rather than focusing on linguistic issues that normally define the phenomenon (Hymes
& Gumperz 1964).
