Variation and change in Faroese has been an active research topic in the past 10-15 years, as witnessed by the growing literature on Faroese morphosyntax, e.g. simplifications in the case system and the gradual loss of verb raising to T. Nevertheless, much work remains to be done and important questions need to be settled, e.g. the potential influence of Danish on variation and change in Faroese. We hope that this workshop will bring together researchers working on variation and change in Faroese in all grammatical domains (syntax, morphology, phonology, lexicon etc.) from a formalist, functionalist or sociolinguistic perspective.
