Abstract:

This book details patterns of language use that can be found in the writing of
adult immigrant learners of Norwegian as a second language (L2). Each study
draws its data from a single corpus of texts written for a proficiency test of
L2 Norwegian by learners representing 10 different first language (L1)
backgrounds. The participants of the study are immigrants to Norway and the
book deals with the varying levels and types of language difficulties faced by
such learners from differing backgrounds. The studies examine the learners’
use of Norwegian in relation to the morphological, syntactic, lexical,
semantic and pragmatic patterns they produce in their essays. Nearly all the
studies in the book rely on analytical methods specifically designed to
isolate the effects of the learners’ L1s on their use of L2 Norwegian, and
every chapter highlights patterns that distinguish different L1 groups from
one another.
