| Résumé: | The recent immigrants’ and refugees’ movements towards western nation-states undermine symbolic national boundaries. Such movements are perceived as a threat to linguistic and cultural homogeneity, and reinforce the reproduction of national discourse.

Using analytical tools from Critical Discourse Analysis, we demonstrate that both majority and immigrant students reinforce Greek national discourse which takes the form of either racist or humanitarian discourse. |
