Noise, yelling and dialects
In this article, we present an exploration of the social meaning and functions of marketplace sounds – including language, yelling and hailing – in two adjacent, yet very different sites in Copenhagen, Gammel Strand and Højbro Plads. We argue that the marketplace soundscapes played central functions as means of constructing customer-oriented semiotic spaces while negotiating territories and branding and selling products. Language by way of dialec…
Regional dialect and multiethnic youth style in a Danish social housing project
This paper presents an empirical account of the use of regional dialect and multiethnic youth style by young speakers who are born and have grown up in Vollsmose, an ethnically and linguistically diverse neighbourhood in the city of Odense, Denmark. By combining a quantitative analysis of linguistic variation with insights drawn from ethnographic fieldwork, the paper will demonstrate how multiethnic youth style and regional dialect are used in co…

Language outside the norm
The second issue of volume 47 (2024) of the Nordic Journal of Linguistics will be a special issue devoted to the effects of speaking differently from a norm. Across such diverse fields as sociolinguistics, sociophonetics, experimental linguistics, and interactional analysis we call for papers on empirically based studies of reactions towards speakers and/or speech that in some way or another is perceived as outside of a norm, for instance non-sta…
Place attachment and linguistic variation
This article presents the results of a quantitative analysis of language variation and place attachment in two different places in Denmark—a rural, mono-ethnic village where traditional dialect is still used in everyday practices, and a multiethnic suburban social housing district where speakers use features associated with regional dialect and multiethnic youth styles. It is argued that variationist sociolinguistics, dialect research, as well as…
Crossing–Negotiating Social Boundaries
Sociolinguistic approaches to multiethnolect
The paper presents the findings of two studies of Copenhagen multiethnolect. The first study depicts a set of linguistic features that constitutes the linguistic variety which is termed multiethnolect. This study was by and large carried out from a perspective which in the paper is called a variety perspective. The second study was carried out from a stylistic practice perspective where multiethnolect is analyzed in more holistic terms as part of…
Research on youth and language in Denmark
The latest decade has seen an increased number of linguistic studies among Danish adolescents. In this paper we present a range of these. We sketch three different types of perspective and find that the majority of the Danish studies belong to a cultural- identity perspective. Survey studies of language attitudes indicate that young Danes are conformists adhering to the values of elite discourse. On the other hand, studies that take a closer look…
Native Speakers' Judgements of Second Language Danish
L2 Danish is often negatively described in public discussions and the media in Denmark. This study examines native speakers' reactions to the L2 Danish of young bilingual Turkish-Danish school students. The respondents were asked to evaluate the quality of the Danish of the L2 speakers on the basis of tape-recorded excerpts each lasting one minute. They were also asked whether the speakers were L1 or L2 speakers of Danish. The respondents represe…
