Biography
Torgny Hedström is a lecturer at Uppsala University, engaged in research on Lule Saami dialects. His PhD project focuses on providing a new and fundamental survey of these dialects, which are often overlooked. Hedström aims to conduct interviews with close to twenty speakers, analyzing the languages quantitatively based on lexical, morphological, and phonological/phonetic features. His thesis, which he expects to publish after the summer of 2025, encompasses work in Saami morphology, phonology, and the historical linguistics of Northern European languages. His research interests are grounded in dialectology and the phonetic aspects of language study, contributing to a broader understanding of the Saami language and its varieties.
