Media
NORMS has received attention from public media since the day the creation of the NCoE was announced. We aim to exploit this attention progressively. We will strive to make our activities and results known to the world outside academics and to boost awareness and positive attitudes towards linguistic variation. On this page we keep an updated list of NORMS-related media coverage with, as far as possible, links to the actual news items.
