Derivatives ending in ttele are used with a passive meaning in the Kven dialects of Porsanger and Nordreisa. This use is a result of language contact with Sami. As in the Sami model of adversative passive, these Kven passive derivatives express an unfavorable event. They are used with a subject argument which has a semantic role as a patient or experiencer and an agent expressed in the allative case. ...

Denne avhandlingen analyserer tre samtidsromaner, Mats Strandbergs "Hemmet", Ragnar Hovlands "Ei vinterreise" og Olga Ravns "Celestine". Romanene behandler ulike sykdomsmotiv, og undersøkelsen viste at selv om romanene varierer i sjanger, språk, og eksperimentell narrasjon, er ulike sykdommer fremstilt gjennom samme troper og motiv, mer bestemt besettelse, forfølgelse, og hjemsøkelse. Jeg har lest ...

En los últimos años se ha visto emerger un nuevo marcador de género en español al que se identifica como género inclusivo, lo cual da lugar a sustantivos con tres formas de género –niño, niña, niñe–. El objetivo de este trabajo es alejar esta cuestión de consideraciones políticas o sociales y examinar los rasgos gramaticales internos que tiene esta nueva forma, como una vía para encuadrar cualquier ...

This paper gives an overview of the Swedish data on argument placement in the Nordic Word Order Database (NWD; Lundquist et al. 2019). The data were collected from 54 native speakers in three different locations, and the experimental task elicited argument placement (subject shift, object shift, long object shift, particle shift). The results confirm that there is considerable inter- and intra-speaker ...

Aquest treball proposa una anàlisi configuracional al fet que, per a molts parlants, preposicions com según o bajo no puguin assignar cas oblic al pronom i al fet que en espanyol actual l'assignació de cas oblic sigui impossible amb dos pronoms coordinats (*a ti i mí). S'argumenta que, en les varietats més restrictives, el pronom oblic materialitza un constituent sintàctic que conté una capa relacional ...

I et brev til sin forlegger, Frederik Hegel, datert Roma 21. juni 1882, kommenterer Ibsen En folkefiendes sjanger: «det har meget af lystspillets karakter ved sig, men også en al-vorlig grundtanke». I tråd med Ibsens uttalelse blir dette dramaet ofte lest som en politisk komedie med et alvorlig tema, samtidig som man mer eller mindre eksplisitt gir uttrykk for at det er litt uklart hva denne alvorlige ...

While most investigations of bilingualism document participants’ language background, there is an absence of consensus on how to quantify bilingualism. The high number of different language background questionnaires used by researchers and practitioners jeopardises data comparability and cross-pollination between research and practice. Using the Delphi consensus survey method, we asked 132 ...

The public must be assured that authorities and individuals across regional borders generally ...

Recent experiments have confirmed earlier informal evidence that finite adjuncts are not islands categorically. Specifically, it has been shown that adjuncts are not necessarily islands for all dependency types (Sprouse et al. 2016), and that the island status of an adjunct depends on the type of the adjunct clause in question (Kush et al. 2019; Müller 2019; Bondevik et al. 2021; Nyvad et al. ...
