The PhD Fellow will be affiliated with the project North American Norwegian Tonal Accents in Contact (NANTiC) and the FLUENT research group (Fleirspråkleg utvikling og endring i nyare tid).
The North American Norwegian Tonal Accents in Contact project investigates prosody, i.e., suprasegmental phonology, in heritage language Norwegian in the United States. A heritage language is a language that is naturally acquired at home or in the local community, but is not the dominant language of the larger national society. The project focuses on tonal accents in the North American diaspora of Norwegian speakers, which have been in contact with English for over a hundred years. Accordingly, the project has two primary objectives. The first is to examine the consequences of English-Norwegian language contact on North American Norwegian tonal accents and connected language structures. The second is to expand research on the relationship between morphological processes and prosody, especially for heritage languages and the languages they are in contact with.
The PhD project must be in the fields of phonology, morphology, or morphophonology, and be connected to one or both project objectives. Applicants must propose a project and submit a project proposal.
