More about the book

The book explores the impact of Stockholm's dramatic transformations in the late 1800s on the evolution of its language. It examines how urban development and societal changes contributed to the loss of certain linguistic elements, shedding light on the interplay between culture and language during this pivotal period. Through this lens, the narrative reveals the broader implications of modernization on communication and identity within the city.
