HIF-2012: Multilingualism Work Load
10 credits (ECTS) | Objectives
Students will gain theoretical insight into different aspects of multilingualism, and thus acquire a basis for understanding the language conditions in different kinds of multilingual and multidialectal communities. | Contents
Compulsory in Finnish at 2000 level, optional as a language course at 2000 level in the discipline Nordic language and literature. Otherwise optional. The course is an introduction to general theories of multilingual societies, the relationship between majority and minority languages, contact between different languages and the development of pidgin and Creole languages. The emphasis will be on the multilingual Northern Cap. The emphasis on the different topics of the course may otherwise vary. Students of Finnish are introduced to language variation in Finnish, while students of Nordic are introduced correspondingly to language variation in the multilingual Northern Norway.
This course requires University admission certification.
A completed ex.phil. and ex.fac. is an advantage. Previous knowledge from other language courses about one or more language communities to which the theoretical content of this course can be related is also an advantage. The student must be able to read the literature in Norwegian, other Scandinavian languages, and English, and also in Finnish if relevant. | Form of teaching
The course is taught in the spring semester. Teaching is given in the form of lectures and seminars with practice assignments and student presentations. | Assessment
