1. Kristinsson's most recent project concerns the nature of prescriptivism, the interplay between description and prescription in linguistics, and the deconstructing of the prevailing descriptivist-prescriptivist binary (cf. Kristinsson 2023, 2021).
2. A good many publications by Kristinsson report on his investigations into language policy and planning, language ideologies, and language situation and practices. Kristinsson has largely adopted Spolsky's (2004) theoretical principles, adhering to the general approach that language policy is made up of three interrelated, yet independent, components, i.e., language practices, beliefs/ideologies, and planning. Cf., e.g., Kristinsson 2022a,b, 2021a, 2020, 2019a, 2018a,b, 2017a, 2016b, 2014a,b, 2013a, 2012c, 2010a, 2007; Kristinsson & Hilmarsson-Dunn 2012; Hilmarsson-Dunn & Kristinsson 2010, 2013).
3. Styles, and style-shift: Kristinsson's (2009) PhD thesis on language use in spoken media was based on his research into variation in the use of different linguistic features in two different genres of Icelandic radio language. Other projects include research into speaker evaluation of different features of Icelandic language use in different text genres (Kristinsson & Hilmarsson-Dunn 2013, 2015), and style-shifting (Kristinsson 2021).
4. Language choice in the academia and at HEIs. Cf. Kristinsson (2014); Kristinsson & Bernharðsson (2014a, 2014b).
5. Comprehension of legal texts. Cf. Kristinsson et al. (2022, 2018).
