My immigration from Sweden to Canada in 1951 as a small child and back to Sweden in 1979 as an adult involved challenging adaptations to the spoken languages in both countries. My interest in individual immigration experiences motivated me to write this autobiography within a hermeneutic phenomenological spectrum. It may seem to be a bit odd – to combine a qualitative research approach with writing an autobiography. Equally unique is integrating a philosophical perspective with phenomenology in understanding the dimensions of language. One key question that motivated me to write this autobiography is; how have ordinary, individual persons experienced their immigration without knowing the language they will encounter? This question is still on the political agenda. Linguistic, philosophical ideas about language have an extensive history of debates held alive by well-known philosophers. I have consulted other data sources, such as historical statistics on migration, global conflicts and historical facts. Thus, I have narratives from persons no longer alive and persons with recent lived experiences of immigration that have contributed to this autobiography. The chapters are not in chronological order. I begin with the chapters on hermeneutic phenomenology and metaphors. I then describe two different lifestyles in Sweden during 1900 - 1951; in one family, immigration is urged by poverty and in the other, a well-to-do family stays home. My overall aim is that the subtitle; - the dynamics of Language, as a metaphor, has a meaning in many contexts involving human interactions!
