Studia Linguistica

Read Studia Linguistica's Special Issue, Papers from the NORM's Workshop on Exclamatives, published in 2010.

This special issue of Studia Linguistica collects a number of papers based on presentations given at the NORMS Workshop on Exclamatives in Tromsø, October 2007. NORMS – the Nordic Center of Excellence in Microcomparative Syntax– is a five year collaborative project, with seven partners from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. The objective of the project has been to investigate syntactic variation across the North Germanic language continuum, and to this end, along with other activities, a variety of thematic meetings have been organized.

Studia Linguistica aims to publish high quality, original papers within the field of general linguistics, such as syntax, morphology, phonology, semantics, pragmatics, psycholinguistics and computational linguistics. The editors welcome reviews of new monographs in the field as well as initiatives for thematic issues with guest editors.
