Professor eerbrigt Lillehel, head
q the scand AVIAN department OF
tho University of Illinois, has come
forward with the interesting sugges-:
Hon that the various ydelags Of
America ought to contribute money:
toward scientific study OF the diar.
1ect languages Of Norway. He says;
these dialects are rapidly dying out
and now isE the time to- make study
or them for the benefit Of future stu:
dents OF Norwegian literature and
dialects. There are at the Univer-<
Bity OF Christiania, says Professor
Lillehel, men competent to under.
take such "a study II the necessary
funds could be provided. do not.
know how much money such work;
would require, but each bydolag'
could easily ascertain the probable:
cost BY communicating with such men
as. Professor Saegstad or Professor.
Amund Larsen Of the University Of:
Chrfstiania. AS I have said already
. study should be made Of the phonol-
ogy, vocabulary and syntax Of the.
dialects. Then to mark the exact
pronunciation it would be q good
plan to make a few photographic rec
ords of the pronunciation Of different
individuals within the given dialect
and on variety of themes. These
records could then be deposited with
the University Of Christiania as q
priceless document for our linguistic
history. Of course much work has
been done already in the study Of the
Norwegian dialect, but much remains
to be done before We have anything
like a complete picture. Our dialects
are dying, but they are too beautiful
to die without a BETTING monument
to commemorate them" f. . ..S..
