    • Ka korpuse fortæll? Om ordstilling i hv-spørsmål i norske dialekter 

      Vangsnes, Øystein Alexander; Westergaard, Marit (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2014)
      I standardspråklig norsk finnes en regel som gjerne blir kalt V2. Den krever at det finitte verbet alltid står på andreplass i setninga, som for eksempel i <I>Studentene drikker øl, Hva drikker studentene</I>? og <I>Vanligvis drikker studentene øl</I>. I denne artikkelen tar vi for oss et brudd på V2-regelen som er utbredt i mange norske dialekter, nemlig ikke-V2 i <I>hv</I>-spørsmål, slik som i ...

      Vangsnes, Øystein Alexander (Book; Bok, 2013)

Men i kva grad set eigentleg det norske folket pris på språkmangfald? Kvifor ser ein stadig negative og til dels hatske utfall mot nynorsk? Kvifor møter meir synleggjering av samisk språk i Nord-Noreg sterk folkeleg motstand? Er det ...
