Abstract

The review describes the work "Føroysk mállæra" by Hjalmar P. Petersen, which is a comprehensive grammar of Faroese in three volumes. The work is aimed at upper secondary school students and language and teaching students. It covers phonetics, inflectional morphology, word formation, and syntax, and contains many new insights. The first volume deals with gender, word formation, and inflectional morphology of nouns, while the second volume focuses on the basic principles of Faroese syntax. The work provides a systematic description of the Faroese language and includes many examples from everyday life. The text also discusses the use of the genitive case in Faroese and criticizes some unclear explanations of pronunciation. The author praises the work overall but calls for more consistent terminology. [Extracted from the article]
