Projects under the ScanDiaSyn umbrella

Scandinavian Dialect Syntax (ScanDiaSyn) has a complex organizational structure, consisting of several subprojects with separate funding, and ScanDiaSyn may therefore more adequately be referred to as a project umbrella rather than as one single project. Within the umbrella common objectives have been and will be defined, and the various subprojects are either geared directly towards these goals or combine the common goals with own objectives.

NOS-HS supports Scandinavian Dialect Syntax - ScanDiaSyn directly through a grant for project administration in the period 2005-2007. Below is an overview of the various subprojects under the ScanDiaSyn umbrella that have received specific funding. (Individual PhD-projects are not listed even if some of them come in addition to the specific subprojects.)
