Verb placement in embedded sentences in Faroese
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-25)In this article, I present data from the Nordic Word order Database (NWD) on word order in Faroese embedded clauses. I discuss the methods used in the data elicitation, data analysis, and present a first overview of the patterns in the dataset. The NWD contains a total of 4,752 embedded clauses elicited from 33 native Faroese speakers, focussing on embedded <i>wh</i>-questions, and the placement of ... -

Verb placement in relative clauses
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-08-22)The Scandinavian languages generally display V2 in main clauses (but see Bentzen 2014a, who discusses clauses introduced by maybe, which constitute an exception to this pattern). However, in embedded contexts, V2 is only available in certain restricted contexts, such as certain embedded that-clauses (see Bentzen 2014b). In most other embedded contexts, such as embedded wh-questions and relative ... -
Verb placement variation in Swedish and Danish
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-17)This article gives a summary of the Swedish and Danish data on verb placement in the Nordic Word order Database (NWD; Lundquist et al. 2019). The data were collected using an elicited production paradigm. I discuss variation in verb placement in Danish in four constructions: in embedded clauses with respect to adverbs (embedded V2), in main clauses with respect to preverbal and sentence-medial ... -
Verb Second in Norwegian: Variation and Acquisition
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2020)This chapter provides an overview of the micro-variation in Norwegian when it comes to Verb Second (V2) word order, both in the various dialects and in the two written standards. The variation is dependent on a number of factors, including clause type, type of initial element, and information structure. This overview demonstrates a rich inventory of micro-systems, raising the question of how children ... -
Verb Second Word Order in Norwegian Heritage Language: Syntax and Pragmatics
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2019)In this paper, we investigate verb second (V2) word order in Norwegian heritage language spoken in the United States, i.e., in a situation where the heritage speakers have English as their dominant language. We show that not only the syntax of V2 may be affected in a heritage language situation, but that the number of contexts for this word order may also be severely reduced (i.e., non-subject-initial ... -
Verb-particles: active verbs
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-08-22)The syntax of Scandinavian verb particles has been described by a number of researchers, and seminal work include Johannisson (1939), Sandøy (1976), Svenonius (1996, 2003 and 2005), Taraldsen (1983) and Åfarli (1985). -
Verb-particles: particle placement in passives
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-08-22)As discussed in the chapter on particle placement in active clauses (Lundquist 2014a), there is some interesting variation within Scandinavia with respect to particle placement in active clauses. In participial passive clauses, the verb particle always prefixes to the participle in Swedish, while it follows the participle in Danish and Icelandic, see e.g. Johannisson (1939) and Svenonuis (2005) ... -
Verb-particles: placement with respect to reflexive pronouns
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-08-22)As was discussed in the section on verb particles in active clauses, the verb particle always precedes the direct objects in Swedish, while it often follows the direct object in the other Nordic varieties, especially when the direct object is a nonstressed pronoun. When it comes to simple reflexive direct objects (sig) [1] , the pattern in Swedish is more complex. Depending on verb class, the ... -
Verbal Prefixation and Metaphor: How Does Metaphor Interact with Constructions?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)This article argues that metaphorical and non-metaphorical content find different expression on the constructional level. The hypothesis is supported by two empirical case studies of the Russian Locative Alternation verbs, based on the data from the Russian National Corpus: the unprefixed verb sypat’ ‘strew’ (which does not have an aspectual partner) and the unprefixed verb gruzit’ ‘load’ and its ... -
Verbal Prefixation in Russian: A Rebuttal
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015)Zaliznjak & Mikaèljan 2014 is a critique of the model of Russian aspect found in Janda 2012 and Janda et al. 2013. In this rebuttal I give a brief overview of my model of Russian aspect and then address the criticisms made by Zaliznjak & Mikaèljan. I begin by examining the four assumptions stated by Zaliznjak & Mikaèljan, which I find to be unnecessary and lacking in theoretical gounding. Their ... -
Verbal Prefixes in Russian: Conceptual structure versus syntax
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-06-09)At a first glance, the variety of possible denotations of a given prefix might appear a chaotic set of idiomatic meanings, e.g. the prefix za- may refer to the beginning of an action, movement to a position behind an object, a brief deviation from a path, or completion of an action. I propose a unified analysis of prefixes, where the differences in meaning are claimed to arise from different syntactic ... -
Verbal Symbols and Demonstrations Across Modalities
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-22)In this paper, I develop a new theory of the ingredients of semantic composition for the verb phrase, building on work in Ramchand (2018). I argue that the essential properties of this new approach make possible a new rapprochement between the theoretical analyses of symbolic verbal meaning across the visual and auditory modalities. The innovation of the new theory is that it partitions the verb ... -
Vi må halde kontakten med russiske akademikarar og intellektuelle
(Chronicle; Kronikk, 2022-03-19)«Eit kvart folk, og særleg det russiske, vil klare å skilje ekte patriotar frå avskum og forrædarar og kjem ganske enkelt til å spytte dei ut som eit insekt som tilfeldigvis har hamna i munnen.» <p> <p>Med disse orda vende den russiske presidenten seg til folket i Russland for nokre dagar sidan. Språket er grovt, og meldinga er klar: Har du kontakt med vesten, skal det gå deg ille.<p> <p>Krigen ... -
Vi må halde kontakten med russiske intellektuelle
(Chronicle; Kronikk, 2022-03-18)Krigen i Ukraina har til fulle vist kva slags regime vi har i vårt største granneland. Russland er styrt av menneske som har rana til seg store verdiar frå folket, og som ikkje skyr noko middel i den blodige krigen dei har sett i gang.<p> <p>I ein slik situasjon er det forståeleg at somme tar til orde for å kutte alt samarbeid med Russland. Eg vil argumentere for at det ikkje er klokt. Eg vil ... -

The Vitae of Nil Sorskii’s “Sobornik”: Translation or Periphrasis?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2003)This paper attempts to show that Nil Sorskii, the author of the well-known three-volume “Sobornik”, in compiling this collection of ancient Greek vitae used Greek texts as well as Slavonic translations. He compared the Slavonic texts with the Greek originals and corrected their difficult archaic language, thus turning it into the understandable simple Russian language of his own time. -
vo-ov-variasjon i nordsamisk: hva kan lia sápmi fortelle oss?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-21)I denne artikkelen undersøker jeg vekslinga mellom VO- og OV-ordstilling i nordsamisk talemål. Jeg har gjort søk i LIA Sápmi – Sámegiela hállangiellakorpus. Resultatene mine viser ikke uventet at VO overordnet sett er det mest frekvente mønstret. Men i materialet mitt finner jeg også mange tilfeller av SAuxOV-ordstilling, spesielt i setninger med sammensatte verbformer hvor hovedverbet er i ... -
Voice Markers in Septuagint Greek in the Light of Hebrew Interference: A Corpus-Based Study on the Aorist System of the Book of Genesis*
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-20)In this paper, we examine the behaviour of so-called passive and middle aorist forms in the Greek reflected in the Genesis of the Septuagint. The Septuagint, and Biblical Greek more generally, displays a considerable aberration with respect to other varieties of Ancient Greek regarding the relative frequency of passive vis-à-vis middle aorist forms. Here, we explore this feature of Septuagint Greek ... -
Voice Onset Time in multilingual speakers: Italian heritage speakers in Germany with L3 English
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-01)This study brings together two previously largely independent fields of multilingual language acquisition: heritage language and third language (L3) acquisition. We investigate the production of fortis and lenis stops in semi-naturalistic speech in the three languages of 20 heritage speakers (HSs) of Italian with German as a majority language and English as L3. The study aims to identify the extent ...
