Navn på minoritetsspråk i muntlige og skriftlige sammenhenger

Abstract

The year 2019 was chosen by The United Nations as the International Year of Indigenous Languages, and the 49th NORNA symposium was one of the Sami events of that year. It was the first time in NORNA’s history that Sami had been one of the symposium’s designated languages. The theme of the symposium was, Minority Names in Oral and Written Contexts in a Multi-Cultural World, and minority language personal names as well as place names were discussed from both name-disciplinary and cross-disciplinary perspectives. This NORNA report contains nine articles written in the Nordic languages and in English, as well as three articles written in North Sami, together with corresponding versions in Norwegian translation. All the articles are based on the presentations given at NORNA’s 49th symposium.
