- Engages with recent theoretical research on dialect formation
and language isolation - Makes a significant contribution to our understanding of
dialect development, putting forward a persuasive hypothesis
accounting for the lack of dialect variation in Icelandic - Uses a unique, multi-disciplinary approach that brings together
material from a wide range of fields for a comprehensive
examination of the role of language in identity construction - Opens up opportunities for further research, especially for
those concerned with language and identity in Iceland today, where
there is for the first time sociolinguistic variation
