Abstract
Danish is a Scandinavian language spoken by 5–6 million speakers. The semantics and pragmatics of Danish are in many ways closer to English and the Anglosphere than to the continental European languages. At the same time Danish has its own distinctive character formed by the history of Danish discourse, which is reflected in cultural keywords, such as hygge “pleasant togetherness,” and in an egalitarian communicative ethos.
