Jens Normann Jørgensen passed away on 29 May 2013. He was a professor at the Lanchart Centre at University of Copenhagen. As a linguist, he had a strong interest in sociolinguistics, multilingualism and social inequality. His work includes research in very diverse fields, such as dialectology, distributive sociolinguistics, educational linguistics, linguistic ethnography, and language ideology. His influential ideas of languaging and polylingualism took form through his longitudinal studies of language variation and change among multilingual young people in Denmark.
