Title Diversity and democracy: written varieties of Norwegian
Abstract The Norwegian language, in its diverse dialects, is spoken as a mother tongue by the vast majority of the population of Norway. This kind of situation is common in Europe. However, even written Norwegian is diverse: there are two official written varieties, Bokmål and Nynorsk, and considerable room for choice within each of them. My contribution will describe and discuss this fairly unusual situation.
