About this event

What to know

What is happening to the Danish dialects - are they dying out? Have emojis and the language of social media taken over the language as we know it? Are English loanwords destroying the Danish language, and is the language of young people filled with swear words? Do the generations agree on whether one can say the "n-word", and what does it look like with 'chairman' versus 'person'? Get answers to these questions, and hear how our language is developing in recent years. Marianne Rathje has a Ph D in Danish, is employed as a senior researcher at the Danish Language Board and disseminates language as a regular columnist in Politiken.
