Course content
Norwegian as a second language and sociolinguistics are two established research disciplines in Norway, but they are rarely viewed in relation to each other. Central questions are: What significance can sociolinguistic theories about language attitudes, dialect vs. standard language, and language and identity have in second language research? Through the course of lectures and seminars the two subject areas will be used to interilluminate each other, and thus a foundation is laid for further studies in the interplay between two established academic traditions.
Learning outcome
The objective is to offer some insight into socio-linguistic problems as seen from a second language perspective, and to provide the students with a tool for working with related problems.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures and seminars. More on assessment: Obligatory activities must be approved before the candidate can submit the term paper. The size of this assignment must be between 5-8 typed A4-pages (line spacing 1.5).
The size of the term paper depends partly on the subject, but is usually between 15-30 typed A4-pages (line spacing 1.5).
