Brief description: Ernst Håkon Jahr is Professor of Scandinavian Linguistics, Department of Nordic and Media Studies and Dean, Faculty of Humanities and Education, at the University of Agder, Kristiansand, Norway
Review Quotes: In my view, Jahr has succeeded well with his project: to describe how modern Norwegian language history is closely combined with political history, and how language planning was a political project... First and foremost Language Planning as a Sociolinguistic Experiment is a book that makes the special Norwegian language situation accessible for foreign scientists engaged with language policy and language planning.
