Epistemic modality in expressions of ethics and morals in child language

​​The main focus of the project is on how children’s ethical judgments are expressed in their language use, and how children’s relation to moral reality is expressed verbally in regard to modality.

This project is interdisciplinary, including fields of research such as Saami linguistics, philosophy, education and literature.

Its aim is to provide new knowledge about how language learning and moral development take place in Saami-speaking children aged five to seven.

Popular science description and project summary are to be found here.
