Its origin is the immigrant youth in the eastern parts of Oslo, most of whom identify as Muslim, but has become very common in all parts of Norway. While it is a form of Norwegian language, the NMET can be challenging for language learners to understand at first. However, with exposure and training, the NMET is quite accessible. Together we will create an online linguistic database of MET and curriculum modules for Norwegian language learners.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_image et_pb_image_0\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1566\/2023\/05\/gunnar-ridderstrom-iv-IySKQOZA-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"gunnar-ridderstrom-iv-IySKQOZA-unsplash\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1566\/2023\/05\/gunnar-ridderstrom-iv-IySKQOZA-unsplash.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1566\/2023\/05\/gunnar-ridderstrom-iv-IySKQOZA-unsplash-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1566\/2023\/05\/gunnar-ridderstrom-iv-IySKQOZA-unsplash-980x551.jpg 980w, https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1566\/2023\/05\/gunnar-ridderstrom-iv-IySKQOZA-unsplash-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 2560px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-278\" \/><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_section et_pb_section_1 et_pb_with_background  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_section_regular et_block_section\" >\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_row et_pb_row_0  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column et_pb_column_2  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et-last-child et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_with_border et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_3  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Course Content<\/h2><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_with_border et_d4_element et_pb_row et_pb_row_1 et_pb_gutters2  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column et_pb_column_3  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et-last-child et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_4  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>Rationale<\/h3>\n<p>From my original proposal: This Directed Undergraduate Research, led by Kari Lie Dorer, examines the use of a variety of Norwegian often used by minority youth, known as <em>kebabnorsk<\/em>. This applies linguistic theory to critical analysis of Norwegian discourse surrounding minorities and minority language. Language discrimination is a prevalent phenomena, which this course attempts to conclude more about in the context of Norway.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_5  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>Research Report<\/h3>\n<p>Each student in this course chose an individual project about some aspect of NMET to focus on. I chose to examine lexical items from NMET pulled from the novel we read in this course,\u00a0<em>Tante Ulrikkes vei<\/em> by Zeshan Shakar. I created a list of the most used NMET lexical items in the novel and searched the No-Ta Corpus for occurrences of these words. I then analyzed the geographical distribution of the use of these lexical items and made inferences about the spread of NMET through popular media and youth culture. Linked below are my abstract and the final research report of my findings from this project.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_0_wrapper et_pb_button_alignment_center et_pb_module \">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"et_pb_button et_d4_element et_pb_button_0 et_pb_bg_layout_light et_block_module\" href=\"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1566\/2023\/05\/Abstract.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Abstract<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_1_wrapper et_pb_button_alignment_center et_pb_module \">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"et_pb_button et_d4_element et_pb_button_1 et_pb_bg_layout_light et_block_module\" href=\"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1566\/2023\/05\/Copy-of-Diaspora-of-the-North-Approaching-NMET-using-corpus-data.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Final Report<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_6  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>Research Presentation<\/h3>\n<p>After writing my report diving into this project, I gave a presentation to the other students involved in the DUR about my findings in the analysis described above.

I was also able to draw conclusions about the spread of vernacular forms of language, especially among young people. This course relied heavily on an understanding of how language discrimination works and how minority forms of language are formed and maintained, and deepened my understanding of these topics. This was also my first experience with conceiving of a research question and conducting an original investigation with data collection in order to answer the question, which was very informative for me.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_8  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>Connections<\/h3>\n<p>This course connects to the several other projects I did on the topic of the Norwegian multiethnolect. Prior to this course, I completed two presentations on NMET, one for LNGST 245 (Roles of Language in Equity and Diversity) and one for NORW 260 (Introduction to Germanic Linguistics). The pages for these courses are linked below.<\/p>\n<p>I continued my geographic analysis of NMET using the No-Ta Corpus in LNGST 301, instead focusing on syntactic and morphological features of NMET rather than lexical items.
