The three main areas addressed by the conference are: 1) the Nordic countries as multilingual societies; 2) receptive multilingualism; 3) literary multilingualism.</span><o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">While on the one side the Nordic countries have a common history and are considered by sociologists and historians to represent a “cluster”, on the other side they are quite heterogenous from a linguistic point of view. This heterogeneity can be observed in various ways. First, receptive multilingualism is a common way of communicating between speakers of Danish, Norwegian and Swedish. However, the mutual intelligibility between the languages is asymmetrical, and many young Scandinavians prefer to use English when they meet instead their native tongue. At the same time, there are important differences between young people’s experienced comprehension across the Nordic countries.</span><o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Icelandic and Faroese are North Germanic languages, like the Scandinavian languages, whereas Sami and Finnish are Uralic languages and Greenlandic is an Eskimo-Aleut language. The Nordic countries are divided by barriers of linguistic families, barriers which traditionally have been surmounted by Icelandic, Faroese and Greenlandic speakers learning Danish, Finnish speakers learning Swedish, and Sami adopting the national language of the country in which they live. Indeed, many Sami do not speak a Sami language.</span><o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Second, the indigenous Sami language group is also heterogeneous across these countries. The situation of these languages varies as regards their endangerment, number of speakers, and relationship to the dominant language.</span><o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Third, in addition to indigenous languages, minority languages and national languages, several other languages are spoken in the Nordic region because of the extensive immigration that has occurred in the last decades. From a literary point of view, this has given rise to new narratives mixing slang and different languages and fueled theoretical interest in literary multilingualism, for instance in modernist texts.</span><o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Nonetheless, all these languages coexist and interact in and between the countries: Finland has two national languages, Finnish and Swedish, and Sami, Romani, Russian, Yiddish, Tartar and Karelian are officially recognized as minority languages; in Sweden, the national minority languages are Finnish, Yiddish, Meänkieli, Romani and Sami; Norway’s minority languages are North Sami, South Sami, Lule Sami, Kven and Romani, while German is recognized as a minority language in Southern Denmark. In the Nordic Region, the Nordic Language Convention (1981) stipulates that Nordic nationals should be able to communicate in their own language with official bodies in other Nordic countries.</span><o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Multilingualism is thus visible in the Nordic countries on many levels and can be investigated from a wide range of theoretical and methodological perspectives. The conference invites papers on the Nordic countries as a multilingual region in which languages exist side by side, come into contact with and influence each other, are used as identity markers and political instruments, and give rise to multilingual texts.</span><o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;
