Abstract:
Abstract This article discusses a group of South Finnic languages and/or dialects that share common phonological features. These languages and dialects are Livonian, Mulgi South Estonian, Island North Estonian and Western North Estonian, all deriving from Proto-Finnic. In contemporary Finnic taxonomy, the first language to diverge from Proto-Finnic was South Estonian, followed by Livonian, and later by North Estonian and Votic. Nevertheless, all the mentioned languages have converged after their initial divergence, resulting in an areal grouping called South Finnic. The contribution of this article is to assess linguistic features shared by the mentioned languages and dialects and what their nature can reveal. I argue that the features point to a new understanding of Finnic taxonomy in that the addition of a narrower group of Southwest Finnic can be justified as a Finnic branch.

Abstract:
The paper claims that the independent partitive case in Finnic languages and the independent partitive genitive case in Baltic and East Slavic (henceforth: ip(g)) show considerable correlations that cannot be accounted for but by language contact. Given that both the ip(g) in Baltic and East Slavic as well as the ip(g) in Finnic are inherited from the respective proto-languages, the paper also offers a methodological discussion of how inherited categories may also be shown to be subject to language contact. A typologically not infrequent category must be individualized on the basis of a list of properties. Thus, 13 semantic and 5 morphosyntactic properties have been discussed. While the study reveals that in general the ip(g) is or was subject to intensive language contact, there is no common hotbed for all properties analysed and different properties have different hotbeds and are distinct with respect to their geographical distribution and entrenchment. North Russian and Finnic show the greatest degree of correspondence as, e.g., the aspectuality related functions of the ip(g) or the morphological distinction between the possession (sensu lato) and the partitive-related functions are concerned. Here, Finnic is the donor language. However, other properties such as the semantic and syntactic merger of the acc and ip(g) marking must have spread from Russian to Finnic and, to some extent, Baltic. Similarly, the genitive/partitive-under-negation probably developed first in Baltic and Slavic and spread then into Finnic, since preconditions for this rule are already found in the ancient Indo-European languages. Finnic, however, preserves this rule best.

Abstract:
In Finnic languages, the height of a tall person is described by the adjectives pitkä, korkea, suuri, iso and tobie, or their dialectal variants. The first three occur through out the whole language group, carrying several meanings and serving to characterize many different objects, but in a general case their meanings do not coincide. The Finnic iso and the Karelian tobie are synonyms of the adjective suuri. An analysis of their semantic relations and areal distribution has revealed that their areas in the sense of ‘tall’ (of a person) differ considerably from their general areas. The use of the adjectives korkea and suuri seems to be influenced by Indo-European contacts. The word tobie may be a Russian loanword in which a semantic change has taken place. As all of the words mentioned are multifunctional, the simple adjectives are often specified by being used in a compound construction where the final component has the stem kasvu- ‘stature’. This is especially appropriate in the case of the words meaning ‘big’ and referring to either height or adulthood. Such phrases or compounds are more frequent in the eastern part of the Finnic area, but they also occur in Estonian dialects. An analogous form of expression is used in Russian.

Abstract:
AbstractThe present article studies verbs that are used to convey change-of-state in the Finnic languages: “to come”, “to go”, “to remain/stay”, “to get”, “will be”, “to make/do”, and “to be born/give birth”. These are polysemous core verbs, which can be expected to be integrated in constructions with (new) generalized grammatical meaning. As will be shown, in order to convey change-of-state typically they occur in constructions that either mark the goal and the source or leave both unmarked. In addition, change can be associated with experiential, existential, and possessive constructions, which also enable to shed more light on the development of the above-mentioned verbs, including the possible development change-of-state → future. The article demonstrates that each Finnic language uses several verbs from the list presented above, but there are differences in what are the most commonly used ones and in what kind of constructions they occur. In some languages, there is a general change-of-state verb, which also appears as a future copula if there is no competing future copula. In the case of Estonian, Finnish, and Livonian, the results of previous studies on change-of-state predicates were used; for the other Finnic languages, a separate data set was compiled using various collections of texts.

Frog. "The Finnic Tetrameter – A Creolization of Poetic Form?" Studia Metrica et Poetica 6, no. 1 (2019): 20–78. http://dx.doi.org/10.12697/smp.2019.6.1.02.

Full text
Abstract:
This article presents a new theory on the origins of the common Finnic tetrameter as a poetic form (also called the Kalevala-meter, regilaul meter, etc.). It argues that this verse form emerged as a creolization of the North Germanic alliterative verse form during a period of intensive language contacts, and that the Finnic ethnopoetic ecology made it isosyllabic. Previous theories have focused on the trochaic, tetrametric structure and viewed other features of poetic form as secondary or incidental. This is the first theory to offer a metrically driven explanation for the distinctive features of the poetic form: the systematic placement of lexically stressed short syllables in metrically unstressed positions and systematic yet unmetricalized use of verse-internal alliteration. The emergence of the poetic form may be viewed simply in terms of hybridization, but its formation as a central mode for epic and ritual poetry demands consideration of social factors. Creolization is considered a social process of hybridization at the level of sign systems that is characterized by a salient asymmetrical relation of power, authority or other value in the cultural sign systems being reconfigured from the perspective of the society or groups involved. An argument is presented that North Germanic contacts also produced systematic verse-internal alliteration in Finnic languages. Discussion then turns to the distinction between the origin and spread of the poetic form. The poetic form’s uniformity across Finnic language areas in spite of its ‘foreign’ metrical features along with the range of genres with which it was used are considered indicators of the poetic form’s spread with language, forming an argument that the tetrameter emerged within an environment that also produced Late Proto-Finnic, and then spread with Late Proto-Finnic language and culture through areas where other Finnic language forms were spoken.

Abstract:
The article presents a semantic-motivational analysis of twenty Baltic-Finnic dialect and literary language words used to nominate a hard-working person. The source of the material was the dialect dictionaries of individual Baltic-Finnish languages and their file cabinets. The data of etymological dictionaries are also involved. The undertaken research was carried out in line with ethnolinguistics, which is developing successfully in Slavic linguistics, despite the fact that practically no such studies were conducted on the material of the Baltic-Finnish languages. Involving as a comparison the corresponding results according to the Russian dialects showed that the linguistic image of the hardworking is characterized by certain universals in the motivation for naming. However, the Baltic-Finnish units differ in their specificity. The nominations of hardworking people are secondary in them and go back to the names, on the one hand, of dynamic qualities ‘quick, brisk, energetic’, on the other hand, spiritual characteristics (‘enthusiastic, passionate, greedy’) that turn out to be etymologically closely related. It was revealed that they correlate with the basics marking fast, sharp, intense movement - from walking to a blow or a gust of wind. At the same time, a significant part of the verbs of this series can be confidently qualified as having a descriptive, onomatopoeic nature, which is also inherited by the names of hard workers. The revealed regularity of semantic evolution (‘quick abrupt movement’ → ‘fast, energetic, passionate’ → ‘hardworking’) is important for establishing the etymological sources of words that represent the idea of hard work, as it defines a certain algorithm for such a search. Now the lexemes representing the established semantic paradigm are actually divorced according to different etymological articles and the connection between them is most often not indicated in any way.

Full text
Abstract:
The primary focus of this study is on dynamic quantity-related prosodic processes (reduction and lengthening) in the Finnic languages of Ingria, which are situated in the vicinity of St. Petersburg in Russia: Ingrian, Votic, Ingrian Finnish, mixed Siberian Ingrian/Finnish. All of them are severely endangered or moribund: the number of currently living speakers ranges from zero to a couple of hundred. I have been conducting field research on the phonetics, phonology, and morpho(no)logy of these varieties since 2006. Their phonology is extremely complex, especially from the point of view of phonological quantity and contains several cross-linguistic phonological rarities. The complexity of phonology and a great degree of intra- and interdialectal variability, aggravated by powerful reduction processes, pose major challenges for the development of a consistent phonetic and phonological transcription needed for the documentation, revitalisation, and description of these languages. The varieties in question are studied unevenly. There exist one or more dictionaries on each but the last one. Several grammatical descriptions have been published on Votic. For Ingrian, there exists only one normative grammar written in Ingrian, and all other works describe only some particular aspects of the language. Ingrian Finnish dialects are studied even more fragmentarily. The Siberian Ingrian/Finnish had been barely known in linguistics until recently. Votic, Ingrian, and Ingrian Finnish have been in intense contact for centuries, and some of their dialects form a Sprachbund (language union) in the Lower Luga area of Western Ingria . Siberian Ingrian/Finnish is spoken in Western Siberia, but originates from Ingria, as its speakers were expelled from the Lower Luga area to the Omsk region in Siberia in 1803-1804. This mixed variety was formed in isolation from its mother languages, but shows many similar phonetic and phonological trends. There exist many phonetic and phonological studies on quantity in Finnic languages. However, broad comparative typological studies are still missing, with an exception of Viitso (1981, 2008), written in Estonian. His works are insightful yet purely theoretical, as few phonetic studies on these languages were available at that time. Modern technology provides broader possibilities for phonetic studies, and the fact that all these languages are still spoken gives the last chance to study them all simultaneously and run comparable phonetic experiments. Such experiments are urgently needed to complete phonological descriptions and transcription verifications. In particular, none of existing grammatical and other descripions provides a detailed comparative account both on the ongoing transformation of the vocalic length contrast in non-initial syllables under the influence of reduction and on the prosodically-motivated gemination of consonants, observed in all these varieties. Both phenomena occupy a central place in the dissertation. Comparative work allows to take a glance at the phonetic and phonological evolution of certain aspects of Finnic quantity, as the varieties in question manifest different developmental stages of the same phenomena. Moreover, rare phonological features of Finnic languages are of greater typological and theoretical interest, for example, the ternary quantity consonantal contrast in Estonian, Livonian, and Soikkola Ingrian, reduced voiceless vowels in Lower Luga Ingrian, or prosodically motivated gemination of consonants in di- and trisyllabic foot in Soikkola Ingrian. All these phenomena have never been discussed in general typological and theoretic literature and are addressed in this respect in the dissertation. In sum, presented results fill some of the most important remaining gaps in the phonetic and phonological description of the Finnic languages of Ingria, contributing to the documentation and revitalisation of vanishing languages, as well as to general phonetic and phonological theory and phonological typology. Existing gaps in description filled by this study are primarily linked to the quantity-related innovations in these languages, first of all, ongoing vowel reduction in non-initial syllables, which follows an isochronic (compensatory) pattern, and “anti-isochronic” (anti-compensatory) lengthening of sounds before longer sounds, including first of all the so-called secondary gemination of consonants before long vowels. These two phenomena for the first time receive a comprehensive systematic description that embraces their phonetics, phonology, evolution, and various typological and theoretical aspects. At the same time, some tradionally studied quantity-related phenomena, like Finnic grade alternation, are not touched upon in this study. Grade alternation is a historical Proto-Finnic process of quantity reduction in certain structures, related to foot isochrony. It is realtively well-studied for Finnic languages, on the one hand, and does not create issues for the transcription of the Finnic languages of Ingria, on the other hand, so it was of minor importance for the present work. The study is based on first-hand field data collected by the author and colleagues and includes phonetic experiments designed by the author. Among other things, it uses some novel experimental techniques, such as a phonemic categorisation test for non-written varieties.

Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to show that standard approaches to grammatical case fail to provide an explanatory account of such cases in Estonian. In Estonian, grammatical cases form a complex system of semantic contrasts, with the case-marking on nouns alternating with each other in certain constructions, even though the apparent grammatical functions of the noun phrases themselves are not changed. This thesis demonstrates that such alternations, and the differences in interpretation which they induce, are context dependent. This means that the semantic contrasts which the alternating grammatical cases express are available in some linguistic contexts and not in others, being dependent, among other factors, on the semantics of the casemarked noun and the semantics of the verb it occurs with. Hence, traditional approaches which treat grammatical case as markers of syntactic dependencies and account for associated semantic interpretations by matching cases directly to semantics not only fall short in predicting the distribution of cases in Estonian but also result in over-analysis due to the static nature of the theories which the standard approach to case marking comprises. On the basis of extensive data, it is argued that grammatical cases in Estonian have underspecified semantic content that is not truth-conditional, but inferential, i.e. it interacts with linguistic context and discourse. Inspired by the assumptions of Relevance Theory (Wilson & Sperber 1993, 2002, 2004) and Dynamic Syntax (Cann et al 2005), it is proposed that grammatical cases in Estonian provide procedural information: instead of taking cases to encode grammatical relations directly, and matching them to truth-conditional semantics, it is argued that it is more useful and explanatory to construe case marking in Estonian as providing information on how to process the case-marked expression and interpret it within an immediate discourse (or sentence). This means that grammatical cases in Estonian are seen to encode a heavily underspecified semantics which is enriched by pragmatic processes in context. In this way, certain problematic constructions in Estonian, such as transitive clauses in which the object is marked by either genitive or nominative, depending on number (often referred to as the accusative in the relevant literature, e.g. Ackerman & Moore 1999, 2001; Hiietam 2003, 2004) and constructions in which the nominative occurs on the object both with singular and plural nouns, are shown to have a unitary explanation.

Abstract:
AbstractWith this volume, we invite you on a trip to the Far North of Europe, to Finland and its neighbouring countries Estonia and Sweden, and across the Arctic circle to the Lapland area which stretches from northernmost Scandinavia in the west to northern Finland and North-Western Russia. This is the area in which the Saami and Finnic peoples have lived for centuries, forming language contacts and discourses that are in constant change. On the pages of this book, we will introduce you to some of the inhabitants in this area and familiarise you with their everyday linguistic practices during the first two decades of the twenty-first century. We cover under-studied topics such as the linguistic situation of indigenous Saami people and the language attitudes of twenty-first-century migrants. In the chapters of the book, we will discuss individual language users’ talk about linguistic identities and their use of different languages. We will also explore their linguistic attitudes, ideologies, and ways in which their language use and their talk about language reflect their personal social relations and society at large.

Abstract:
Although a number of Uralic languages, especially Finnic, Saami and Northern Samoyedic possess predicative cases which are used to encode a change of state as well as impermanent states, the existence of such cases is, of course, not a unique feature of Uralic. Similar cases are known e.g. in Yukaghir and Chukchi (and in fact, even beyond). Upon a short areal synopsis, this study covers the so called purposive case in Tundra Yukaghir in great detail and compares its function with that of Forest Enets. Although the grammaticalization history of the Tundra Yukaghir purposive and the Northern Samoyedic essive-translative case shows significant typological parallels since it arose of the grammaticalization of a converbal form of the copula, its synchronic morphosyntax differs significantly, because the Tundra Yukaghir purposive case is used as depictive, whereas the Northern Samoyedic essive-translative is compatible with both depictive and resultative readings.

Abstract:
AbstractIn this chapter, discourses, language ideologies, and visual representations of the Finnish language are analysed in the Finnish primary school context. Pupils from age 11 to 13 from the cities of Oulu and Helsinki were asked to ‘draw the Finnish language’. These visual representations consist of many elements, in which people make a frequent appearance. Most of the people represented in the context of the Finnish language are named as Finns. However, some interactional encounters between native speakers of Finnish and foreigners are also represented, and this chapter focuses on exploring these representations.Six drawings from a data of 102 drawings of the Finnish language are being analysed in this chapter. In these drawings, an interactional encounter of a Finn and a foreigner or a lack of understanding is visualised.This raises a question on the assumed connection between one’s nationality and language. Are foreigners not considered possible speakers of Finnish?

The paper studies a correlation between the duration of a consonant and the length or presence of the following vowel in the Finnic varieties of Ingria of the Lower Luga region: dialects of the Finnish, Ingrian and Votic languages, as well as in a mixed Siberian Ingrian/Finnish variety which also originates from the same region. Our first hypothesis (a) about a compensatory (inversely proportional) lengthening of preceding consonants which accompanies the final vowel loss was confirmed on the basis of the three idiolects with a high percentage of final vowel loss (two Southern Lower Luga Ingrian and one Siberian speaker). These idiolects can be considered to be at an intermediate stage of the final vowel reduction between the Finnish language, which has no reduction, and the Estonian language, where the short final vowel has been completely lost from the disyllabic words of the structures discussed in the paper (CVVCV and CVCxCyV). In our data, C2 directly preceding the reduced V2 (i.e. the short intervocalic consonant in the CVVCV structure or the second consonant of an intervocalic cluster in a CVCxCyV structure) is lengthened if the final vowel is lost. In Estonian, either the long vowel of the first syllable (in the *CVVCV &gt; CVV:C structure) or the first consonant in the cluster (in the *CVCxCyV &gt; *CVCx:Cy structure) had been lengthened. On the other hand, C2 lengthening in our data is often phonetically manifested as a slight post-aspiration of this consonant rather than through a prolongation of its main articulation. Durations of C2 and C2x were the longest in the Siberian data, which represent the most advanced stage of the reduction and loss of V2 among the studied varieties. Our second hypothesis (b) about an anticompensatory (directly proportional) lengthening of the word-initial consonant (C1) before a long vowel (V1), as compared to the position before the short V1, was also generally confirmed. However, a statistically significant increase in the duration of C1 before a long V1 was found only for the Votic speaker, while for the rest of speakers, it was observed only as a weak insignificant trend. The compared structures CVVCV and CVCxCy, however, differed not only in the length of V1, but also in the length of C2 (single consonant vs. cluster), so their comparison was not perfect to study this effect. In general, the type of interaction between the duration of some segments and the length or presence of other segments in the studied Finnic varieties seems to depend, at least partially, on the stage of the final vowel reduction and loss. This type of interaction may also be different for the first and second syllable. The correlation between C1 duration and V1 length does not depend on the degree of V2 reduction, while the correlation between C2 duration and the presence of V2 apparently does

Abstract:
The article represents a research of the problems related to the diction in the Nordic lied, determined by the peculiarities of the North Germanic and Finno-Ugric languages and their solution. Given that the musicians chosen for the present research composed on lyrics written in the Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and Finnish languages, we focused mainly on the pronunciation in these languages. Thus, the euphonic differentiation of the vowels compared to the repertoire approached so far (in Italian, French, German, English and Spanish), represents the main difficulty in performing the Nordic lied. Solving some difficulties of pronunciation, articulation, impostation, dosage or expressiveness, have proven to be of real use in approaching the repertoire in the above-mentioned languages, and the problems raised by phonetic and linguistic peculiarities of the Nordic languages have motivated the identification of arguments, solutions and sometimes novel but functional solutions.

Abstract:
Encouragement of European labor mobility is one of the key challenges in the 21st century. The article “E-learning in ICT and Agriculture” has as main objective the description of the results obtained in the LaProf project and the processes that lead to their development. LaProf (www.laprof.eu) project has responded to this challenge by developing computer-mediated multilingual language learning exercises for specific purposes and the overall concept of migration process. LaProf was a multiliteral project that aimed at promoting language awareness to immigrating workforces in two particular sectors, ICT and agriculture. The main goal was to provide free access to language learning resources that would help candidate immigrants get more familiarized with the terminology and cultural issues in their sectors, through developing and disseminating a number of language learning exercises. The main idea of the project was to encourage ICT teachers living in Estonia (and Baltics in general) to learn Finnish and give them assistance in an overall immigration process to Finland by increasing their knowledge about working environment and culture of the target country. Accordingly, LaProf aimed to teach Greek and cultural issues to agricultural specialists living in Romania, who want to move and work in Greece. Significant attention was given to encouraging the learning of under-representing European languages (Finnish and Greek) as foreign languages in order to help European citizens from Estonia and Romania to understand better the working environment and culture of the targeted countries (i.e. Finland and Greece). This objective is in accordance with one of the European Label national priorities: foreign languages as preparation for the work market, language skills increasing the possibility of obtaining a better job, at national and even international level. In addition, the instructions of LaProf language learning exercises are translated into widely spoken EU languages (English and French) as well as into Hungarian, Romanian, Estonian and Russian, which are notably less widely used and taught languages in Europe. To reinforce the acquisition of language and cultural competencies by its targeted user groups, as well as to raise awareness for the targeted languages, LaProf developed and promoted language learning methodologies and resources that motivate the particular categories of language learners, in order to enhance their capacity for language learning. As the main output 656 interactive language learning exercises were developed for its clearly defined user groups. A series of piloting tests were applied to a specified target group, the final outputs being thus optimized to the maximum. The targeted learning resources are focused on language learning of the targeted languages, but also reflect the embedded cultural context of the destination countries and sectors. The following key results were achieved: • A language learning framework outlining the background, topics, working culture, and relevant terminology of the targeted sectors and destination countries; • A variety of multilingual language learning exercises (translated and adapted in English, French, Romanian, Hungarian, Estonian, and Russian) are publicly available and accessible online; • Additional learning resources such as Learner’s Guide, Teacher’s Guide, Manual of Tools, WebQuest containing the background knowledge that learners should have before taking the language learning exercises, culture-aware resources that will facilitate their preparation for immigration in the destination countries, as well as pedagogical and technical guidelines for the language teachers; • Two online platforms: (1) the LaProf Web portal and (2) the LaProf Wiki page through which interested users are able to easily search, identify, retrieve and use language learning exercises in a digital format. These platforms contain also an online tool through which all producers of digital resources on language learning for the targeted communities are able to upload their resources, describe them with appropriate metadata in English and in their languages, and to make them publicly available via the LaProf Web portal for all interested users to find.

Abstract:
Languages and the thinking they reflect stem mainly from cultural needs for expression. A controlled vocabulary, thesaurus, can be seen as a cultural product. The focus of this study is the translatability of British-English social science indexing terms into Finnish language and culture on a conceptual, term and indexing term level. The emphasis is on Finnish language and human factors. The study is quantitative-qualitative and the perspectives are both linguistic and sociological - a combination through which a broader understanding of the phenomena is being aimed at in the general frame of information science. The study uses multiple cases aiming at theoretical replication. It is thus an empirical case study and the goal is to illustrate a new theory of “pragmatic indexing (term) equivalence”. Several data collection and analysis methods will be used in order to construct a theory by triangulation of evidence. The aim of this research is a doctoral thesis in information studies.

Abstract:
PhD-student Charlotta Engberg, Professor Michaela P?rn &amp; PhD Katri Karjalainen The aim of the paper is to describe the challenges in developing Classroom tandem as a model for second language education for virtual learning environments in Finland. Finland is officially a bilingual country, where both the Finnish-speaking and the Swedish-speaking language groups are taught parallelly in monolingual schools according to the law. However, both language groups learn the other second national language as a subject in school. Classroom tandem as an instruction model for second language education was introduced in Finland in 2012, based on tandem as a language learning model, meaning that two persons learn the languages of each other in reciprocal cooperation and thereby switch languages. The tandem partners act in turns as the learning part in their second language and as the model and support in their first language. (Karjalainen, P?rn, Rusk &amp; Bj?rkskog, 2013). Tandem is divided into face-to-face tandem and eTandem (Brammerts &amp; Calvert, 2003; K?tter, 2002). Classroom tandem relies strongly on physical face-to-face meetings. However, these meetings are not possible to organize in all schools in Finland, due to the lack of closely located Finnish- and Swedish-speaking partner schools. Therefore, eClassroom tandem is now being developed in cooperation with language teachers as an applied virtual form of Classroom tandem. The challenge in developing eClassroom tandem mainly includes issues dealing with technology, task design and virtual cooperation between tandem partners. In order to increase the understanding of potentially existing virtual cooperation in all Swedish-speaking upper secondary schools in Finland with Finnish-speaking schools and schools abroad, a survey (based on interviews with 34 principals in 2015) was made. The results show that the most typical form of cooperation is however physical visits between schools, while extended virtual cooperation is rare. According to the principals' view the cooperation is however not always pedagogically organized, and therefore there is a need to pedagogically develop the virtual cooperation practices for language education. One possible model for this cooperation is eClassroom tandem, which increase the opportunities for second language learning in authentic situations with students of the same age, even in strongly monolingual areas.

Abstract:
The article reviews the situation in Swedish-language Finnish literature, its trends and prospects of development. Starting from the Bakhtin’s complex of ideas, and from us vs. them and center vs. periphery concepts the article analyses the connections of the national minority literature with Finnish literature, and with neighboring Swedish literature that is kindred by language. Further, considering trends of Swedish-language Finnish literature development in the 20th century it infers that the Swedish-language cultural legacy reduced its influence on the Finnish society and literature, in particular, and diminished roles of contemporary writers in the all-Finnish literature process, thereby predetermining their peripheral position. In the conclusion the article discusses the prospects of Swedish-language Finnish literature development that directly depend on preservation of the official status of Swedish language in Finland.

Abstract:
Finland is a bilingual country with two official languages, Finnish and Swedish. Finland’s constitution states that every Finnish citizen has the right to communicate with authorities in either Swedish or Finnish – including access to education. All Finnish-speaking students are required to learn Swedish from fifth or sixth grade and all Swedish-speaking Finns are required to learn Finnish from first or third grade. Swedish-language education is available from the daycare level up to the university level. This Tailor-Made process focusing on wellbeing innovations was done together with four Swedish-speaking vocational institutions. These institutions are located in bilingual or Swedish-speaking municipalities, and all of them are offering vocational education and training to over 1000 students.
