Item Attitudes of Norwegians towards the growing influence of English(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2009) Awedyk, WitosławThis paper shortly outlines the present status of English in Norway, principally in relation to the growing presence of English lexical borrowings in Norwegian. Some attention will also be devoted to the views held by Norwegian linguists towards the potential threat that the English language represents, particularly in domains where it is likely to supersede the Norwegian language.Item Engelske lánord i norske ungdommers tale(Adam Mickiewicz University Press, 1996) Awedyk, WitosławItem On Apologizing in Norwegian(Katedra Skandynawistyki UAM, 2011) Awedyk, WitosławThis paper discusses selected points concerning the verbal realization of the speech act of apology in Norwegian. It sets out to establish prevailing tendencies in the choice of apology strategies applied by the native speakers of Norwegian. The present findings, which seem to indicate that Norwegian apology strategies are fairly routinized, ought to be perceived as preliminary as a more detailed analysis of apology formulae will be presented in an upcoming article.Item Request strategies in Norwegian and English(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2003) Awedyk, WitosławThis paper discusses verbal reahzation of one reąuest situation which has been used in the empirical part of my doctoral dissertation (Awedyk, 2001) which sets out to compare and contrast reąuest strategies in the reahzation of the speech act of reąuest in Norwegian and English. Due to the limitations of space, I will only be able to present a smali fraction of the findings resulting from the project I carried out. Notwithstanding the above, some of the problems discussed below can be perceived as representative of the generał pragmalinguistic phenomena present in the respective languages.
