From a Small Swedish Town to a Finnish City.

Paunonen, Heikki

Language Variation and Change, v5 n1 p51-59 1993

The development of language conditions in Helsinki, including its origins in a Swedish-speaking area, makes it possible to observe many processes of sociolinguistic interest. Helsinki's colloquial Finnish has served as a model for the evolution of colloquial Finnish throughout the country. (Contains eight references.) (Author/LB)
