Besides including the discussions on the radio show, the author has
also made comments throughout the book. These are concise explanations taken
from different perspectives. Some of them are theoretically based while others
are based on reflective thought. The word “samfelagsmálvísindi”
is mentioned a few times. It means social linguistics or linguistic science
with insight to society.
This book is for anyone interested in language. It isn’t written as a
textbook, but it does cover some themes that college students and those
studying Faroese at the university can benefit from when it comes to social
linguistic science, language preservation and language policies.
