The Norwegian language in Argentina: A first look at heritage Norwegian in a new context

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This paper presents preliminary observations of Norwegian as a heritage language (HL) in a contact situation that has largely gone unnoticed up until now: Argentina, where Spanish is the main contact language. We discuss some lexical, morphological, and syntactic properties of Argentine Norwegian, with Norwegian as a HL in North America as a comparative backdrop, and we point out directions for future research.
