Immigrant Children's Swedish--A New Variety?

Kotsinas, Ulla-Britt

Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, v9 n1-2 p129-40 1988

Posits two hypotheses arising from the great immigration to Sweden and the immigrants' use and learning of Swedish: (1) Swedish as used by immigrant children may show certain features, related to a creolization process; and (2) the Swedish language may in future show signs of influence from the varieties used by persons with immigrant background.
