The image of multilingual and multicultural Luxembourg, with its official recognition of Luxembourgish, French and German, is widely circulated on the international level. However, debates in the national arena often portray linguistic diversity and cultural pluralism as a threat to social cohesion and the continuity of the nation. This study, based on a collection of over 500 documents taken primarily from the print media, illustrates how: (1) the multiple and (seemingly) contradictory discourses that surface in language debates are inherently intertextual with other discourses, such as those about World War II and the founding of the European Union. (2) Various discursive strategies are used to construct boundaries within Luxembourg as well as between Luxembourg and other European Union member-states. (3) The augmented value of Luxembourgish is discursively linked to changes in the linguistic landscape as well as to greater social, political and economic fluctuations. Since the 1970s, there have been significant developments, including the rise of the banking industry, the arrival of European Union institutions and employees, and record levels of in-migration: 38% of the resident population consists of non-Luxembourgish citizens. In addition, 36% of the employment sector in the Grand Duchy is composed of frontaliers 'border-crossing commuters' from France, Belgium and Germany.
