A Rare Structure at the Syntax-Discourse Interface: Heritage and Spanish-Dominant Native Speakers Weigh In.

Leal Méndez, Tania; Rothman, Jason; Slabakova, Roumyana (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-03-03)

The present study examines knowledge of the discourse-appropriateness of Clitic Right Dislocation (CLRD) in a population of Heritage (HS) and Spanish-dominant Native Speakers in order to test the predictions of the Interface Hypothesis (IH; Sorace 2011). The IH predicts that speakers in language contact situations will experience difficulties with integrating information involving the interface ...

Slavic Aspectual Prefixes and Numeral Classifiers: Two Kinds of Lexico-Grammatical Unitizers

Janda, Laura Alexis; Dickey, Stephen M. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015)

What do Slavic aspectual prefixes have in common with numeral classifiers? Our answer is that the parallels are compelling, both in terms of breadth and depth. The grammatical function of numeral classifiers is to form and classify units for the referents of nouns, and we argue that Slavic aspectual prefixes have the function of forming and classifying units for the referents of verbs. Numeral ...

The polyfunctionality of which in Övdalian

Vangsnes, Øystein A (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2015)

The Övdalian wh-word ukin has a variety of syntactic uses, spanning from the canonical use as personal pronoun (‘who’) to predicative property querying item (‘what ... like’) and polarity item introducing both main and embedded clauses. In this paper the various uses will be described and discussed, and it will be argued that the polyfunctionality of ukin can be well understood on the background of ...

Old Languages, New Ways?

Nesset, Tore (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2015)

Historical linguistics has always been a cornerstone in Russian studies, and most programs have traditionally included courses in Old Church Slavonic (OCS) and the history of Russian. But do such courses have a place in curricula of the future? In this article, I argue that historical linguistics is more relevant than ever, and I discuss seven pedagogical ...

Computerspil, spilmiljøer og køn

Lundedal Hammar, Emil (Lecture; Forelesning, 2015-10-02)

Menneskers engagement med spil er karakteriseret ved en legende aktivitet, uanset om det er brætspil, computerspil, udendørsaktiviteter, eller forskellige børnelege. Man trækker let på smilebåndet når man lander på Rådhuspladsen i Matador, når man rammer bolden i rundbold, eller når man lige akkurat overlever i computerspillet Super Mario Brothers. Denne legende tilgang til kulturelle aktiviteter ...

Allomorphy: Old Concept, Big Data, New Model

Endresen, Anna (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2015-07)

Many key concepts that modern linguistics operates with were first introduced in the Structuralist Era, the time when linguists believed in clear-cut oppositions and privative features and did not have access to large electronic corpora. Today, when we apply these Structuralist concepts to linguistic data, which is gradient in nature, we encounter a gap between the data and our theory. I argue that ...

Five statistical models for Likert-type experimental data on acceptability judgments

Endresen, Anna; Janda, Laura Alexis (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2015-07-20)

A study of marginal change-of-state verbs in Russian. Asking what is experimental Likert-type scale data. What statistical tests are appropriate: Parametric vs. Non-parametric? Including experimental design and research questions, and 5 statistical models for collected data: ANOVA, ordinal logistic regression, regression mixed-effects model, regression tree & Random forests, classification tree & ...

On the representation and selection of exponents

Fabregas, Antonio; Krämer, Martin; McFadden, Thomas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)

This article provides the reader with a general introduction to the main issues in the study of the lexicon, setting the context in which the articles presented in this volume appear. We concentrate on three questions that we consider crucial for a study of listedness: what is listed, how it is listed and how alternation and variation are expressed. We address these issues in the three main areas ...

Automatic Identification of Shared Arguments in Verbal Coordinations

Berdicevskis, Aleksandrs; Eckhoff, Hanne Martine (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015)

We describe automatic conversion of the SynTagRus dependency treebank of Russian to the PROIEL format (with the ultimate purpose of obtaining a single-format diachronic treebank spanning more than a thousand years), focusing on analysis of shared arguments in verbal coordinations. Whether arguments are shared or private is not marked in the SynTagRus native format, but the PROIEL format indicates ...

"First I was an explorer; then I was an artist." Robert J. Flaherty som fotograf

Skare, Roswitha (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015)

The emergence of middle voice readings with and without agents

Fabregas, Antonio; Putnam, Michael T. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-05-30)

This article presents evidence that, cross-linguistically or within the same language (family), there appears to be no morphosyntactic properties and/ or structures specifically designated for the formation of middle voice constructions. What has been labeled a ‘middle voice construction’ is a semantic interpretation that, crucially, is blocked when an event variable is existentially closed by T. ...

Historiske livsstudier

Lund, Niels Windfeld (Book; Bok, 1995)

Hvorfor drage til Paris for at arbejde med et dansk sogns historie? Dette spørgsmål rejsste lokalhistorikeren Per Gammelgaard i sin anmeldelse af en antologi vedr. nye strømninger indenfor dansk lokalhistorie.1 Spørgsmålet var specielt møntet på mit bidrag, hvor jeg skrev om hvad dansk lokal- historie kunne hente i den franske historievidenskabelige tradition ved navn Annales-skolen. Man ...
