Kåre Solfjeld

Kåre Solfjeld is a Professor at the Department of Languages, Literature and Culture at Oslo Metropolitan University. His research focuses on translation studies, contrastive linguistics between German and Norwegian, and discourse analysis with particular emphasis on reported speech structures and language comparison. He holds a prominent role in academic translation research, contributing to both theoretical and applied aspects of translation science.

Research interests include German-Norwegian syntactic differences, information distribution in technical texts, and the pedagogical application of authentic translations. His work bridges linguistic theory with practical translation challenges, particularly in reported speech and temporal reference systems across languages.

Recent publications (2024-2023) explore contextual translation dynamics, discourse role impacts on clause structure, and cross-linguistic analysis of speech representation in contemporary media. Earlier work (2002-2014) laid foundational studies on sentence splitting in translations and adjunct placement differences between German and Norwegian syntax.
