SCAN0072: Advanced Scandinavian Linguistics
This module builds on the foundation laid by SCAN1102 Introduction to
Linguistics and the Scandinavian Languages, and is aimed at students in
their second or fourth year of study. Exploring the structures and usage of
the Scandinavian languages in their modern form, the module covers areas
such as language form, language meaning and language in context. The module
seeks to offer students a theoretical grounding in the broad field of
Linguistics and neighbouring disciplines, and a solid introduction to their
methods and applications (including the study of speech, dialects and
sociolects), with a key feature being cross-linguistic comparison between
the Scandinavian languages.
