This article analyzes the function of language(s) and literature as key elements for the construction of a transnational and multilingual identity in the context of migration described in the autobiographical book Die gerettete Zunge or The Tongue Set Free by Elias Canetti (1905–1994). The languages and narratives mentioned in the book are analyzed in terms of their relevance for the writer’s personal development and for the construction of a perspective regarding migration and its literary representation.
