Haugen is credited with having pioneered American sociolinguistics[5] and being a leading scholar within the field of Norwegian-American studies, [6][7] including Old Norse studies. Perhaps his most important work was The Norwegian language in America: A Study in Bilingual Behavior (ISBN0-253-34115-9). In addition to several important works within these fields, he wrote the authoritative work on the dialect of his ancestral home of Oppdal and a book entitled The Ecology of Language, with which he pioneered a new field of linguistics later called Ecolinguistics. Einar Haugen also wrote Norwegian English Dictionary/Norsk engelsk ordbok (ISBN0-299-03874-2).[8][9]
His last book was a biography of the Norwegian virtuoso violinist Ole Bull co-written with his daughter, Camilla Cai.[9][10]
