dc.description.abstractHow do Welsh geography students cartographically depict the nation? What symbols and icons do they use in the demarcation of boundary and construction of distinctions between themselves and others? How is language implicated in the delimitation of territory, representations of place, projections of preferences, and narratives of “the Other?” These questions are at the heart of a study which explores the linkages between language, mapping, and identity. A cartographic survey, conducted among level 9 and 10 pupils in Aberystwyth’s two secondary schools in the fall of 2005, provides responses which are employed in the construction of a geographer’s data matrix, which, in turn, indicates both predictable and surprising relationships.
