Research Group for Nordic Languages

In the Research Group for Nordic Languages, we study Norwegian and the other Nordic languages (Icelandic, Faroese, Danish, and Swedish) from a number of perspectives:

• Norwegian as a second language
• Norwegian didactics
• phonology, grammar, and text linguistics
• semantics and pragmatics
• dialects, sociolects, attitudes to language
• language history and change
• personal names and place names

The group was established on September 19, 2013, and started its regular activities in January, 2014. It is primarily a forum for the discussion of research by the group members, be it individual or project-based research.
