Málsligar rannsóknir, greinir og hugleiðingar

Jeffrei Henriksen

During the past two centuries, Faroese has developed from an oral language in danger of extinction into a vibrant language, a means of both oral and written communication in all areas of life.

Henriksen narrates this development. He considers what factors have nurtured this development and what has distracted it, both considering language politics and the linguistic structures themselves.

This enthusiastic researcher has dedicated a large part of his life to solve many of these problems and to teaching both teachers and students Faroese.

Henriksen many studies are collected in this work, in which he discusses

linguistic development
the care of language
word coinage
loan words
linguistic variations
syntax
vocabulary
orthography
etymology
mother tongue education
and much, much more

This is an indispensible book for everyone with a generalist interest in Faroese language questions and for those studying for higher degrees in the Faroese language or in education in the Faroes.
