Besides including the discussions on the radio show, the author has also made comments throughout the book. These are concise explanations taken from different perspectives. Some of them are theoretically based while others are based on reflective thought. The word “samfelagsmálvísindi” is mentioned a few times. It means social linguistics or linguistic science with insight to society.

 

This book is for anyone interested in language. It isn’t written as a textbook, but it does cover some themes that college students and those studying Faroese at the university can benefit from when it comes to social linguistic science, language preservation and language policies.
