Summary
Bryggen, a historic trading site in Bergen, Norway, serves as a rich linguistic landscape where 'language traces' and 'linguistic palimpsests' reveal layers of cultural and historical significance. The study demonstrates that visible language elements—such as writing systems and multilingual representations—coexist with deeper, diachronic layers that emerge through exploration. By analyzing street names and naming conventions, the research highlights how normative language practices reflect cultural identity and historical shifts. This approach underscores Bryggen's role in preserving linguistic heritage and its didactic potential for education.
