Abstract | Against the backdrop of globalisation and the European integration process, identity concepts of young Europeans are becoming more diverse and complex. It is commonly assumed that language and identity are closely connected and that identities are shaped to a large extent through discursive practices. These interactions no longer take place in the mother tongue alone; in many instances, they are increasingly affected by the wide use of English as a lingua franca (ELF) in Europe. This raises the question whether a European identity should be built upon linguistic diversity, as officially promoted by the European Union, or whether the use of ELF could help to fulfil this unifying function. Drawing on a questionnaire survey conducted at the University of Braunschweig with 1061 students, the article investigates the potential role of ELF in the formation of a common European identity.
