I started as a PhD student in January 2026. I am mostly interested in the social and commercial value of so-called “genuine dialects” in peripheral parts of Sweden and how their language communities have transitioned and changed due to globalization processes. Concepts I use include language commodification, authenticity, and linguistic capital. My PhD project will investigate these concepts, with Gotland as a point of departure, utilizing methods such as linguistic landscape studies and linguistic ethnography.
