Language Planning as a Sociolinguistic Experiment - Jahr, Ernst Hakon (Professor of Scandinavian Linguistics and Dean, Faculty of Humanities and Education, University of Agder, Kristiansand, Norway)

2014 marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of the Norwegian nation following centuries of Danish rule. This book analyses how Norwegians defined, fought over, and developed their own independent Scandinavian language, differentiating it from Danish and Swedish, through language planning.
