The International Ivar Aasen Conference was held in Oslo 14-16 November 1996 to mark the centenary of  Norway`s great language planner and ideologist, Ivar Aasen (1813-1896).

The conferece was organized by the Ivar Aasen Foundation and the Department of Scandinavian Studies and Comparative Literature at the University of Oslo.

The main theme of the conference was language contact and language conflict. Particular emphasis was given to multilingualism in a minority/majority perspective, and language norms, status and standardization. Approaches to these themes were multidisciplinary as well as interdisciplinary. The greater part of the contributions focused on current linguistic research and language policies in both Europe and Southern Africa, while the remainder were devoted to an overview of Ivar Aasen`s work in a Norwegian and European perspective.

Hence, the articles of this volume address a wide range of issues. Some of them deal with somewhat theoretical aspects, while others present language contact and conflict situations in diffferent parts of the world.
