<p><u>Course description</u><br>
In the course, we offer an overview of South Saami, with focus on
the language's grammatical structure, but with elements of
learning communicative skills as well. South Saami is a small and
endangered Uralic language spoken by 500-1000 speakers in Sweden
and Norway. It is currently revitalized and its use increases in
education and media, which makes South Saami interesting not least
from a socio-linguistic perspective. It also represents the
western-most Uralic language and the end of the Saamic dialect
continuum.<br>
<br>
The course sill start with an introduction to Saamic languages
(taught by Torbjörn Söder and Rogier Blokland) followed by the
language course itself (taught by Richard Kowalik). We will cover
the main word classes, their inflection and their function, and
the main syntactic features of the language. We will train to
write and speak in group exercises. There will be two guest
lectures on language revitalization and on historical aspects of
the language.<br>
<br>
<u>Preliminary schedule</u><br>
Classes are scheduled on the following days at the following times

should they happen, will be discussed in class and communicated to
