Language change and Old Icelandic sources of linguistic evidence

Haraldur Bernharðsson, 2. June 2011

On February 8th, I delivered the talk "Language change and Old Icelandic sources of linguistic evidence" in the series Málstofan on Channel 1 (Rás 1) of the National Brodcasting Service (RÚV). In the talk, I discussed the sources available for investigating earlier stages of Icelandic and language changes that surface in Icelandic manuscripts written in the 14th century. You can listen to the talk on the Málstofa web (in Icelandic).
