The main results of the project are a dissertation (unpublished) "Morfologisk variation i finlandssvenska stadsmål" ("Morphological variation in Finland Swedish urban colloquial language") by Marie-Charlotte Gullmets (1994), and a monograph "Stad och bygd" ("Town and rural surroundings") by Ann-Marie Ivars (1996). In the years 1994-1995 the funding was Mk320,000. The leader of the project was Prof. Ann-Marie Ivars.
