Knud Knudsen (January 6, 1812 - March 4, 1895) was a Norwegian educator, author, linguist and philologist. 〔(Dag Gundersen: ''Knud Knudsen – språkmann'' (Store norske leksikon) )〕 ==Biography== Knud Knudsen was born at Tvedestrand in Aust-Agder, Norway. He was first Adjunct Professor in Drammen until 1846, when he was appointed headmaster at the Christiania Cathedral School, a position he held until 1880. 〔(''Knud Knudsen, Forkjemper for riksmålet, aka bokmålet'' (Tangient LLC) )〕 Knudsen became involved in the development of the national debate which resulting in the ''Riksmål'' and ''Bokmål'' forms of the written Norwegian language. As an educator, he had observed that students had difficulty writing in the Danish language, when they spoke the Norwegian language. He came to believed that the written language should be changed to match common speech. In this regard, Knudsen came to exercise influence among his contemporaries, including Björnstjerne Björnson.〔(''Knud Knudsen – riksmålets fader, bokmålets bestefar'' (Språkrådet) )〕 〔(''Det dansknorske målstræv'' (Siri-Mari, norsk bloggen) )〕〔(''Metode:Lokal språkstrid'' (lokalhistoriewiki.no) )〕 Knudsen was one of the first to propose Norwegianization (''fornorskninglinjen''), the rewriting of loanwords into a Norwegian spelling (e.g. turning chauffeur into ''sjåfør''). His aim was to give a more Norwegian coloring to the literary language of Norway by adapting the orthography and syntax to Norwegian usage, and by substituting wherever it was possible, Norwegian words for foreign derivatives. He wanted changes that could occur in the shortest time possible and consequently put forward several reforms working within the Danish written language. The most comprehensive treatment of the subject may be found in his ''Unorsk og norsk, eller Fremmedords avlösning'' (1879-1881). 〔(''Språkreformatoren Knud Knudsen'' (Språkrådet ) )〕〔(Finn-Erik Vinje:''Knud Knudsen - Språkreformator og Skolemann'' (Norsk biografisk leksikon) )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Knud Knudsen (linguist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
