Isi artikel

The aim of this article is to present examples of a number of types of changes in Faroese that have come about under the influence of Danish. The majority of the residents of the Faroe Islands are bilingual in Faroese (L1) and Danish (L2). This has resulted in many loanwords, convergence and replication. The main topic of this article is convergence and replication, and we subscribe to a definition of convergence that stresses it as a one-way phenomenon, which involves the abstract level structure of a source language, and the surface-level patterns coming from the recipient language.
