For more than forty years, the Haugen Norwegian-English Dictionary has
been regarded as the foremost resource for both learners and
professionals using English and Norwegian. With more than 60,000
entries, it is esteemed for its breadth, its copious grammatical detail,
and its rich idiomatic examples. In his introduction, Einar Haugen, a
revered scholar and teacher of Norwegian to English speakers, provides a
concise overview of the history of the language, presents the
pronunciation of contemporary Norwegian, and introduces basic
grammatical structures, including the inflection of nouns and adjectives
and the declension of verbs.
