About

Background

I am Professor of Scandinavian linguistics at the Department of Language and Literature. I work on the history of Norwegian (and related languages) during the last 1500 years from several perspectives, both changes to the linguistic system and changes in the use of language(s). I also teach topics from modern Norwegian, mainly dialects and grammar.

Research interests:

  • Language history
  • Historical sociolinguistics
  • Dialectology
  • History of linguistics and philology
  • Old Norse philology

Competencies

  • Dialectology
  • Historical linguistics
  • Historical sociolinguistics
  • History of linguistics
  • Nordic languages
  • Old norse studies
  • Toponyms
