It also examines ongoing linguistic change in the Swedish used by young Finland‑Swedes.  The project’s findings are of relevance to researchers in language and writing studies, teachers of mother tongue and literature, scholars of language didactics, and members of the general public with an interest in the matriculation examination or the development of Swedish in Finland.
