Course content
TEGN1106 is based on TEGN1100, TEGN1101 and TEGN1102. A central theme here is multilingualism and linguistic variation, both in the deaf community and in the larger Norwegian community. We will be working on the topic language andpower, from a majority vs. minority perspective. We will also be addressing topics such as the impact of language environments on language acquisition, speech acts,linguistic structures and processes involved in creating meaning. Students will also work on their own linguistic resources in Norwegian sign language, spoken Norwegian, and written Norwegian, and be made aware of how they can be used in different situations.
