ScanDiaSyn – Scandinavian Dialect Syntax
ScanDiaSyn - Scandinavian Dialect Syntax is a project
umbrella where nine Scandinavian research groups
collaborate to systematically map and study the syntactic variation
across the Scandinavian dialect continuum. The nine
groups are spread across all of the five Nordic countries and
one self-governed area (the Faroe Islands).Three non-Nordic groups are
liased with the project through a NordForsk network.
The project manager is Dr. Øystein Alexander Vangsnes at the University of Tromsø. You can read about the main objectives of the project here.
As of 1 December 2005 ScanDiaSyn has received support from the
Nordic Language Council (Nordens Språkråd), NordForsk/NorFA, Nordplus
språk, NOS-HS, the Icelandic Centre for Research, the University of
Tromsø, and the Swedish Research Council. Together with
CASTL ScanDiaSyn furthermore constitutes the backbone of
the Nordic Center of Excellence in Microcomparative Syntax
(NORMS) appointed by NOS-HS for the period august
2005 until July 2010.
Of current interest!
