Together with the fact that there are no indications that he is planning on retiring any time soon, or even slowing down his working pace, this is cause for celebration. Ever since the founding of the Journal of Northern Studies in 2007, Håkan has been a member of our distinguished editorial board. As such, he has been an indispensable resource to us editors. His specialisation is inter- and multidisciplinary, has time-depth and covers a wide geographical area, particularly, but not exclusively, the circumpolar north. Thus, his schol- arly competence spans the vast field of northern studies and our journal. Håkan’s research is in the intersection between linguistics and the history of religions, and rests on a wide expertise in Sami languages, his- tory, culture and religion. Since the beginning of the 1980s, his publica- tions have had an immense impact on all research concerning tradition- al Sami worldview and ritual, not only within the history of religions, but also in related disciplines such as history, church history, ethnology, archaeology, culture studies and

  • WAGNER and the VOLSUNGS None of Wagner’S Works Is More Closely Linked with Old Norse, and More Especially Old Icelandic, Culture
    WAGNER AND THE VOLSUNGS None of Wagner’s works is more closely linked with Old Norse, and more especially Old Icelandic, culture. It would be carrying coals to Newcastle if I tried to go further into the significance of the incom- parable eddic poems. I will just mention that on my first visit to Iceland I was allowed to gaze on the actual manuscript, even to leaf through it . It is worth noting that Richard Wagner possessed in his library the same Icelandic–German dictionary that is still used today. His copy bears clear signs of use. This also bears witness to his search for the meaning and essence of the genuinely mythical, its very foundation.

    Editors' Introduction Douglas A. Anderson Michael D. C. Drout Verlyn Flieger Tolkien Studies, Volume 7, 2010 Published by West Virginia University Press Editors’ Introduction This is the seventh issue of Tolkien Studies, the first refereed journal solely devoted to the scholarly study of the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. As editors, our goal is to publish excellent scholarship on Tolkien as well as to gather useful research information, reviews, notes, documents, and bibliographical material. In this issue we are especially pleased to publish Tolkien’s early fiction “The Story of Kullervo” and the two existing drafts of his talk on the Kalevala, transcribed and edited with notes and commentary by Verlyn Flieger. With this exception, all articles have been subject to anonymous, ex- ternal review as well as receiving a positive judgment by the Editors. In the cases of articles by individuals associated with the journal in any way, each article had to receive at least two positive evaluations from two different outside reviewers. Reviewer comments were anonymously conveyed to the authors of the articles. The Editors agreed to be bound by the recommendations of the outside referees. The Editors also wish to call attention to the Cumulative Index to vol- umes one through five of Tolkien Studies, compiled by Jason Rea, Michael D.C. Drout, Tara L. McGoldrick, and Lauren Provost, with Maryellen Groot and Julia Rende. The Cumulative Index is currently available only through the online subscription database Project Muse. Douglas A.

  • De Sammansatta Ordens Accentuering I Skånemålen
    SKRIFTER UTGIVNA AV INSTITUTIONEN FÖR NORDISKA SPRÅK VID UPPSALA UNIVERSITET 88 MATHIAS STRANDBERG De sammansatta ordens accentuering i Skånemålen With a summary: Tonal Word Accent and Stress in Compound Words in Traditional Scanian Dialects 2014 Akademisk avhandling som för avläggande av filosofie doktorsexamen i nordiska språk vid Uppsala universitet kommer att offentligt försvaras i Ihresalen, Engelska parken, Uppsala, lördagen den 29 mars 2014, kl. 10.15. Disputationen sker på svenska. Abstract Strandberg, M., 2014: De sammansatta ordens accentuering i Skånemålen. (Tonal Word Accent and Stress in Compound Words in Traditional Scanian Dialects.) Skrifter utgivna av Institutionen för nordiska språk vid Uppsala universitet 88. 209 pp. Uppsala. ISSN 0083-4661, ISBN 978-91-506-2386-4. Swedish has a contrast between two so-called tonal word accents: accent 1 and accent 2. In central standard Swedish, for example, compound words generally have accent 2 and primary stress on the first element. In contrast, traditional Scanian dialects exhibit both a high occur- rence of accent 1 in compounds and dialect geographic variation between accent 2 and second element stress. This dissertation argues in favour of four diachronically oriented hypotheses pertaining to the word accent distribution in compounds with monosyllabic first elements in these dialects: (1) compounds emanating from syntactic juxtapositions have accent 1; (2) compounds formed by way of compounding proper (stem compounds and comparable formations) have accent 2 or second-element stress; (3) compounds of either of these two types do, however, have ac- cent 1 if the first element was originally disyllabic and has lost its posttonic syllable through syncope; (4) West Germanic loanwords have accent 1.

  • 2010 Annual Report
    Norwegian American Genealogical Center & Naeseth Library Annual Report 2010 NORWEGIAN AMERICAN GENEALOGICAL CENTER , I NC . 2010 A NNUAL REPORT GREETING FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS My board colleagues and I offer our gratitude to the growing constituency who supported NAGC & NL during 2010, a year of important accomplishments and well-deserved recognition. Throughout this period, our membership, board, staff, volunteers, and many friends have all contributed greatly to our success. In late August, the Norwegian Government and H.M. Harald V, King of Norway, recognized Blaine Hedberg’s lifelong contri - butions by awarding Blaine the St. Olav Medal. The citation described his “…active works to promote knowledge and appreci - ation of Norwegian culture and history in the United States, especially in the Upper Midwest, through involvement, leadership, and professional genealogical research with the Norwegian American Genealogical Center & Naeseth Library.” This fitting commendation recognizes the lasting contributions that Blaine has made, most recently in his continuing role as Naeseth Chair for Research and Publication. 2010 also witnessed several milestone accomplishments for our organization. Our endowments continued to grow. Our mem - berships also grew; income from membership now provides a healthy 24 percent of our annual operating budget. During the four years of our independent existence, our membership participation in the annual fund has also grown from a solid ten per - cent to an enviable sixteen percent response rate. Tribute gifts have nearly tripled, and memorials have doubled. We are pleased and honored to include the recognition and thanks for these memorials and tributes for 2010 in this report. All our members agree that their memorial and tribute gifts are highly appropriate ways to support an institution that discovers, shares, and pre - serves family histories and heritage.

The examination will be conducted in Swedish. Faculty examiner: Rune Røsstad (Universitetet i Agder, Institutt for nordisk og mediefag). Abstract Teinler, J. 2016. Dialekt där den nästan inte finns. En folklingvistisk studie av dialektens sociala betydelse i ett standardspråksnära område. (Dialect where it almost doesn’t exist. A folk linguistic study of the social meaning of a dialect close to the standard language). Skrifter utgivna av Institutionen för nordiska språk vid Uppsala universitet 98. 295 pp. Uppsala: Institutionen för nordiska språk. ISBN 978-91-506-2597-4. By approaching dialect and standard language from a folk linguistic perspective, this thesis aims to investigate how laypeople perceive, talk about and orient towards dialect and standard language in a dialect area close to the perceived linguistic and administrative centre of Sweden. It consequently focuses on dialect and standard language as socially meaningful entities, rather than as sets of linguistic features, and studies a dialect area as it is understood by those who identify with it. To explore these issues, group interviews, a set of quantitative tests among adolescents and a ‘mental mapping’ task were used.

Robin April 26, at PM. Scourge of England and France, father of the Great Heathen Army and lover to the mythical queen Aslaug, the legend of Ragnar Lothbrok has enchanted story tellers and historians for almost a millennium. I have degraded myself begging him to come home all to no avail. For example, the early Icelandic settler Bjorn is said to have had a meeting with a land spirit one night in a dream, during which the spirit offered Bjorn his help.
