This book details patterns of language use that can be found in the
writing of adult immigrant learners of Norwegian as a second
language (L2). Each study draws its data from a single corpus
of texts written for a proficiency test of L2 Norwegian by
learners representing 10 different first language (L1) backgrounds.
The participants of the study are immigrants to Norway and the book
deals with the varying levels and types of language difficulties faced
by such learners from differing backgrounds. The studies examine the
learners’ use of Norwegian in relation to the morphological,
syntactic, lexical, semantic and pragmatic patterns they produce in
their essays. Nearly all the studies in the book rely on analytical
methods specifically designed to isolate the effects of the
learners’ L1s on their use of L2 Norwegian, and every chapter
highlights patterns that distinguish different L1 groups from one
another.
