The students will acquire knowledge of modern song lyrics, from ballads to pop, rock, hip-hop, and the secondary literature in the field. The course aims to increase the students¿ knowledge of this particular strand of the two-fold development of lyricism, the popular aspect that has only been subjected to interpretation to a very small degree.
This course does not qualify students to teach in Norwegian schools.

A selection of song lyrics from Alf Prøysen to Tungtvann will be submitted to analysis in order to reach an understanding of song lyrics as a lyric genre.
Recommended previous qualifications/courses:

Students who have already taken NorskFRE7 / NOR-0100 Norwegian for non-Norwegian students can choose this course as specialisation. The syllabus is available in Norwegian, Scandinavian, and English.

Grades will be conferred according to a scale from A ¿ F. Compulsory work will be graded pass or fail.
