  Ivar Aasen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aasen was born at Åsen in Ørsta (then Ørsten), in the district of Sunnmøre, on the West Coast of Norway.
Aasen composed poems and plays in the composite dialect to show how it should be used; one of these dramas, The Heir (1855), was frequently acted, and may be considered as the pioneer of all the abundant dialect-literature of the last half-century, from Vinje to Garborg.
Ivar Aasen holds perhaps an isolated place in literary history as the one man who has invented, or at least selected and constructed, a language which has pleased so many thousands of his countrymen that they have accepted it for their schools, their sermons and their songs.

 Issue 30 - Constructing the Grammars of a Language: Ivar Aasen and Nineteenth Century Norwegian Linguistics
A proof of Aasen's place in Norway is that the proposal to give 1996 the official name 'Ivar Aasen Year' was readily accepted by the Ministry of Culture on behalf of the government even if it meant that some financial grants had to be made.
After that, the readers meet Aasen again in chapter 3, and from there on, he is the main character in the rest of the book, most decisively in chapters 6 and 7, which are devoted to analysing and comparing the two grammars Aasen wrote.
Ivar Aasen was both a grammarian and a lexicographer.

 Ivar Aasen
Ivar Aasen's name is known abroad to a few linguists, historians of nationalism and other specialists.
Aasen's project was compatible with the Romantic nationalism in vogue at the time, which emphasised both the virtues of the rural life and postulated connections with the Viking era in its anti-Danish and anti-Swedish imagery.
However, during the early attempts to officialise Aasen's New Norwegian, it quickly transpired that a large part of the Norwegian elite would be happy to see Aasen's innovation as a symbol of nationhood, but were less enthusiastic about actually using it.

 Lars S. Vikør: The Nynorsk Language of Norway   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
It was done by Ivar Aasen (1813-96), the son of a farmer in Western Norway, who more or less on his own had studied several languages including Old Norse, comparative linguistics, and his own dialect, of which he made a grammatical and lexicographic description.
The strongest Nynorsk centers in the academic world are the Ivar Aasen Institute at the College of Møre og Romsdal (at Volda, close to Ivar Aasen's birthplace), and the Nynorsk part of the Section of Norwegian Lexicography and Dialectology at the University of Oslo.
Ivar Aasen was a poet besides being a linguist and language planner, and a number of his poems and songs have been and are still very popular.

Ivar Aasen (August 5, 1813-September 23, 1896), Norwegian philologist and lexicographer.
Aasen was born at Aasen in Řrsta (then Řrsten), in the district of Sunnmřre, on the West Coast of Norway.
With certain modifications, the most important of which were introduced later by Aasen himself, this artificial language has become nynorsk (new Norwegian), the second of Norway's two official languages (the other being bokmĺl, based on the more urban, Danish-influenced official language).

Ivar Aasen (1813-1896) laid the foundation for the written language Nynorsk.
Aasen travelled around investigating the grammar and vocabulary of dialects in different parts of the country.
The dictionaries of both Aasen and Ross and some later dictionaries combine to form the basis of Norsk Ordbok and were the starting point when work began on the dictionary in 1930.

 Ivar Aasen’s Logic of Nation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The struggle for Norway in the 19th century is the struggle for the concept of Norway, for possession of the concept`s territory, for the right to draw its borders and create a corps of conceptual border police, charged with the task of governing and policing the Norwegian.
Ivar Aasen was thus not merely the engineer of a language, a capable philologist who carried out the nuts and bolts labor necessary to consolidate the New Norwegian language.
Aasen did not fix Norwegian cultural identity for all times, but rather he problematized it, recast it as a question: New Norwegian is an interrogation, a challenge, a possibility, and a moral imperative.

The museum to Ivar Aasen, the man who distilled a new national language for the emerging Norwegian nation, is carved out of his native hillside in the west country.
It was constructed by one man, Ivar Aasen, during the mid nineteenth century, the age when all small European countries under imperial rule were struggling to rediscover (or invent) roots of their particular cultures.
The material is appropriate: it reflects on the log structures of Aasen's family farm next door; it is almost geological in feeling, allowing the building to marry its hill; it is a modern material (well, at least twentieth century).

The site of the Aasen Center is at Orsta, a community of some 10,000 inhabitants about an hour's drive south of the coastal city of Alesund, in the heart of Norway's fjord country.
This is where Ivar Aasen (1813 - 96) spent his first two decades, where he drew inspiration to begin his methodical study of the rural stories, legends, proverbs and dialects of his Nordic homeland.
Through collaboration among museum, exhibition and linguistic experts, the Ivar Aasen Center is intended to serve as an arena for Norwegian and Nynorsk culture in all their forms.

In his dictionary of the New Norwegian (landsmaal) language, Aasen defined "symra” as "a spring flower,” mostly used in compounds, where it could designate the blue or the white anemone (geitsymra, kvitsymra) or the primula (kusymra).
Prestgard was born in Heidal, one of the tributaries of the upper Gudbrandsdal valley, in 1866.
The bulk of Symra’s contents, however, were American-Norwegian, and in the ten years of its life it became the organ of that entire generation of writers who distinguished themselves by their literary and historical contributions in America.

Jan Terje Faarlund and Ingar Arnøy provided a national perspective on language work from the standpoint of linguistics and politics and distributed handouts on legislation, orthographic reform, and statistics on the use of NN in schools nationwide.
By the end of this day we had a much stronger grasp of the cross-currents in Norwegian language history, their impact on national identity, and the particular tensions inherent in the establishment of the new program at HVO.
