Symposium focuses on pronunciation habits in Danish and other Nordic languages
Thursday 24 August, 08:00 – Friday 25 August, 18:00
Spoken language is filled with weaknesses, adjustments and contractions of words. Some people perceive these pronunciation habits as sloppy. With the currently available data on spoken language, it is possible to examine pronunciation habits and pronunciation variations from countless technical and linguistic angles. What are the tendencies? And where are we going? This is the focus of the symposium SJUSK 2017.
The final programme for the days is still being prepared. The symposium will be held in Danish.
