AIAS FORMER FELLOW
Current position: Associate Professor, Department of Communication and Arts, Roskilde University, Denmark
During his Carlsberg Monograph Fellowship, Carsten Levisen worked on the project 'Cultural Construction Grammar: Studies in Nordic Language and Life'
Grammar is thick with cultural meaning. This book explores the connections between Nordic language and Nordic life by tapping into the constructions that speakers use frequently in everyday life. Following the idea that "grammar is cultural", the book delves into key domains of Nordic living, tracing the specificity of "social", "environmental" and "secular" grammars of the Nordics.
Project title: Cultural Construction Grammar: Studies in Nordic Language and Life
Area of research: Sociocultural Linguistics and Linguistic Anthropology
Fellowship period: 1 Sep 2024 - 31 Aug 2025
