    • The Poetry of Jakov Polonskij 

      Egeberg, Erik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2002)
      In this article the poetry of Jakov Polonskij is compared to Afanasij Fet's verse with a special focus on the motif "night". A juxtaposition of parallel passages demonstrates both similarities and profound differences: on the one hand, Polonskij is familiar with the various aspects of verse technique so brilliantly applied by Fet, while on the other hand he avoids the erotically coloured emotional ...

    • Russia in the mirror of holidays. 

      Lönngren, Tamara (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2002)
      This article deals with the holiday calendar in contemporary Russia. Up to now, it has been customary among Russian ethnologists to speak of three periods of formation and radical transformation of the Russian calendar: a) during the introduction of Christendom, b) during the rule of Peter the Great, and c) in the years following the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917. It is now appropriate to add one ...
    • And what next? On the prose of V. Narbikova. 

      Komarova, Olga (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2002)
      Parallel to radical changes in Russian society in the last decades of the 20th century are transformations in literary methods and genres. There is a widespread notion that new tendences in this sphere were born as a reaction to the uniformistic, boring Sovjet literature of the previous period. Valerija Narbikova was one of the new names which manifested the arrival of postmodernist literature (1989), ...
    • On the interrelations between "Parts of Speech" and "Cases" in Russian 

      Lönngren, Lennart (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2002)
      The seemingly simple relations between these two categories turn out to be quite complex in the framework of a dependency grammar in which all kinds of segmental linguistic signs are involved: not only free, explicit words but also morphologically incorporated lexemes and implicit lexemes. To the set of traditional cases are added CAS (general case), AGR (agreement case), PRP (prepositional phrase), ...
    • Some observations on the Plural Instrumental in the dialect of the village of Varzuga 

      Pineda, David (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2002)
      This paper attempts to give an overview of the different case endings found in the Instrumental Plural in the Northern Russian dialect of Varzuga on the Kola Peninsula, and looks at the situation in the neigh­bouring Russian dialects of Carelia and the Archangel district. Along with the Literary Russian ending [m'i], Varzuga uses the endings [my] (in nouns) and [ma] (in nouns, adjectives and pronouns). ...
    • Advantages and shortcomings of different perspectives in describing Northern Russian dak. 

      Post, Margje (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2002)
      The word dak is one of several highly frequent particles, used in most Northern Russian and some Siberian dialects. It can occur sentence initially, sentence internally and sentence finally to connect two parts of the discourse, such as words, sentences, and presuppositions. This article describes the advantages and shortcomings of six different perspectives which have been used to describe this ...
    • West Greenlandic antipassive 

      Schmidt, Bodil Kappel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2003)
      On the basis of syntactic and morphological evidence from West Greenlandic (WG) antipassive (AP) constructions, I argue against the view that the AP affix is nominal. The fact that the transitivizing and the antipassive affixes in a number of verbs are in complementary distribution, leads me to conclude that they both realize a light verb, transitivizing v, one on the ERG-NOM pattern, the other on ...
    • The acquisition of past tense in English/Norwegian bilingual children single versus dual mechanisms 

      Jensvoll, Maja Henriette (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2003)
      In a study of three Norwegian/English bilingual siblings, their strategies for acquiring past tense of verbs in both languages were examined. Elicitation tests were performed in both languages and the children’s performance and error patterns were examined. These results were then compared to data from monolingual English and Norwegian speaking children. The results are discussed within the framework ...
    • Quirky n-words in Polish. NPIs, negative quantifiers or neither? 

      Jablonska, Patrycja (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2003)
      The present paper investigates the contexts in which the so-called n-words - the items which are taken to be Negative Polarity Items in Slavic languages - unexpectedly occur without a licensing negation marker on the verb. This particular usage of n-words seems to point towards an ambiguous behaviour of the items in question: in an antimorphic contexts they are NPIs; otherwise they are negative ...
    • Limits on P: filling in holes vs. falling in holes 

      Svenonius, Peter (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2003)
      All Germanic languages make extensive use of verb-particle combinations (known as separable-prefix verbs in the OV languages). I show some basic differences here distinguishing the Scandinavian type from the OV West Germanic languages, with English superficially patterning with Scandinavian but actually manifesting a distinct type. Specifically, I argue that the P projection is split into p and P ...
    • On the acquisition of word order in WH-questions in theTromsø dialect 

      Westergaard, Marit (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2003)
      This article reports on a study of three children acquiring a dialect of Norwegian which allows two different word orders in certain types of WH-questions, verb second (V2) and and verb third (V3). The latter is only allowed after monosyllabic WH-words, while the former, which is the result of verb movement, is the word order found in all other main clauses in the language. It is shown that both V2 ...
    • V-to-I movement in the absence of morphological cues: Evidence from adult and child Northern Norwegian 

      Bentzen, Kristine (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2003)
      Several people have pointed out that there seems to be a close correlation between inflectional morphology and verb movement (see e.g. Kosmeijer 1986, Holmberg & Platzack 1988). The nature of this correlation has been claimed to go in both directions. Vikner (1994, 1995) and Rohrbacher (1999) have both suggested that the verb can only move to an inflectional head if the morphology is rich enough. ...
    • Relexification in a Northern Norwegian dialect? 

      Sollid, Hilde (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2003)
      This paper explores how the process of relexification can contribute to the understanding of the genesis of the new Norwegian dialect of Sappen in Nordreisa. The dialect has emerged in the context of language shift from Finnish to Norwegian, and the dialect syntax has features that might be regarded as products of relexification. One example is declarative main clauses with the finite verb in the ...
    • Double definiteness in Scandinavian 

      Julien, Marit (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2003)
      In the so-called 'double definiteness' varieties of Scandinavian (Norwegian, Swedish, and Faroese), a definite nominal phrase that contains no adjective or numeral has a suffixed article but no prenominal determiner. But if there are adjectives or numerals in a definite nominal phrase, the suffixed article co-occurs with a prenominal determiner. In my analysis, this pattern is related to the requirement ...
    • Two structural positions for locative and directional PPs in Norwegian motion constructions 

      Tungseth, Mai Ellin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2003)
      This paper discusses two types of constructions in Norwegian where a combination of a verb of motion and a prepositional phrase are ambiguous between a reading of directed motion and a reading of located motion. Based on the differences in the syntactic behaviour of the two types of constructions with respect to a variety of tests (viz. VP constituency tests, adverbial placement, accent placement ...
