Krister Vasshus: Nordic Languages & Lang. Acqu
Headlights // 1700-1800 05.10.10
languages - the case of the nordic languages
Indra and Christian talk to Krister Vasshus about Nordic languages. What makes Nordic languages distinct languages despite being so similar? Kirster explains the differences between languages and dialects.
Also, Christian rambles on about language acquisition. The recommended paper here is in a special edition Behavioral and Brain Sciences 29 (3), which should give you a comprehensive overview about this rather fierce debate.
You have the chance to win a shiny, beautifyl vinyl copy of Electric President's "Violent Blue". If you want to find out how to get it - tune in and write an email to headlights@antipattern.net!
