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
