”Det var som en hakspit skulle ha knakkat på dören” : Centripetala och centrifugala krafters påverkan på ortografiska val och språklig identifikation i Kågeträskdagboken
This thesis is based on Kågeträskdagboken, a peasant diary written by sisters Greta and Lovisa Dahlqvist near Skellefteå in northern Sweden between 1981 and 1901. The research has sought to establish whether centripetal or centrifugal forces determine the orthographical choices Greta and Lovisa make...
