Abstract
This project examines perceptions of the civic "Kazakhstani" national identity in the
discourse of Kazakh- and Russian-language media of Kazakhstan and highlights the divergent views on
the civic nationhood of Kazakhstan in these two linguistic realms as well as explores implications for the
nation-building process in Kazakhstan. In particular, this study illustrates how the usage of two languages,
Kazakh and Russian, in the country's media industry, marks different understandings of ethnicity and
identity issues in their respective audiences.
