Landslide of the Norm :: People :: Martin Paulsen

Martin Paulsen, born 1978, studied Russian in Minsk (Belarusian Agro-Technical University) and Oslo, where he received his master’s degree in 2004. Except for Minsk, he has had shorter stays in St Petersburg, Moscow; he has also studied Belarusian in Minsk and Ukrainian in Lviv. He has taught Russian language, and Russian and Eastern European history and culture at the University of Oslo. Upon finishing his MA he spent six months as a trainee at the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Kiev, Ukraine.
Paulsen wrote his master’s thesis on the modern development of the three major East Slavonic Standard Languages (Istoriia grammatik – razvitiie vostochnoslavyanskikh standartnykh iazykov skvoz’ prizmu grammaticheskogo opisaniia prichastii).The work studies the language development, taking into consideration the development of the societies in which these languages existed.
The project for his doctoral thesis revolves around the development of the Russian language in the 1990s. It focuses on the concept of standard language as a model for understanding languages as we know them today and their contemporary development. Furthermore, and in a more direct connection to Russian reality, it puts under scrutiny the term russkii literaturnyi iazyk, as an established framework for understanding the Russian language. With this as a point of departure, it goes on to look at the role of Russian writers in the development of the Russian language in the 1990s.
