Nordic Language Variation Network (NLVN) is a cooperative effort of six excellent research groups to investigate issues of linguistic variation from a partly sociolinguistic and partly theoretical, generative perspective. In general there is a certain degree of tension and disagreement between these two schools with respect to both methods and to fundamental ontological questions, and the primary objective of NLVN is to create a forum for constructive confrontation and discussion between sociolinguists and grammarians so that a deeper and broader understanding of causes, limitations, and basis for linguistic variation can be established.
