Koine Formation and Society: A Sociolinguistic Study of Migration, Dialects, and Norms in Norwegian Industrial Towns

Koine Formation and Society explores the local and national conditions of koine formation, using three Norwegian industrial town dialects as main examples. These koine formation processes are local and singular events, but they are also influenced by language use and norms for language use in the larger speech community.
