• Argument placement in Norwegian 

      Lundquist, Björn; Tengesdal, Eirik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-17)
      This paper gives an overview of the results from three data collection sessions that took place in Norway in 2018, which specifically targeted the placement of subjects, objects and particles in main clauses. The results reveal a fairly high amount of variation in the relative linear order of phrasal subjects and negation, and phrasal objects and verb particles, while the placement of pronouns show ...
    • Argument placement in Swedish 

      Larsson, Ida; Lundquist, Björn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-17)
      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 ...
    • Cross-linguistic effects in grammatical gender assignment and predictive processing in L1 Greek, L1 Russian, and L1 Turkish speakers of Norwegian as a second language 

      Johannessen, Janne Bondi; Lundquist, Björn; Rodina, Yulia; Tengesdal, Eirik; Kaldhol, Nina Hagen; Türker, Emel; Fyndanis, Valantis (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-03-21)
      The present study examines grammatical gender knowledge in offline production (gender marking on indefinite articles) and online gender processing (visual world paradigm) in adult second language (L2) learners of Norwegian with three different first languages (L1s): Greek, Russian, and Turkish. In particular, it investigates the role of the following factors: (1) presence vs. absence of grammatical ...
    • Cross-linguistic similarities and differences in bilingual acquisition and attrition: Possessives and double definiteness in Norwegian heritage language 

      Anderssen, Merete; Lundquist, Björn; Westergaard, Marit (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-07-10)
      This study investigates possessives and modified definite DPs in a corpus of heritage Norwegian spoken in the US. Both constructions involve variation in Norwegian – two word orders for possessives (pre- and postnominal) and two exponents of definiteness (a prenominal determiner and a suffix) – while English only has one of these options. The findings show that a large majority of the heritage ...
    • Language separation in bidialectal speakers: Evidence from eye tracking 

      Lundquist, Björn; Vangsnes, Øystein A (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-08-20)
      The aim of this study was to find out how people process the dialectal variation encountered in the daily linguistic input. We conducted an eye tracking study (Visual Word Paradigm) that targeted the online processing of grammatical gender markers. Three different groups of Norwegian speakers took part in the experiment: one group of students from the capital Oslo, and two groups of dialect speakers ...
    • Mer om de preverbala adverbialens syntax, semantik och prosodi 

      Lundquist, Björn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Denna tåt följer upp en tidigare artikel och en tåt i NLT om de så kallade pre-verbala adverbialen i skandinaviskan: Brandtler & Håkansson (2017) och Julien (2018). Jag kommer att peka ut några semantiska, syntaktiska och prosodiska egenskaper hos de preverbala adverbialen som de ovan nämnda författarna mis-sar, och som varje lyckad analys av fenomenet måste ta i aktning. Två slutsatser vågar jag ...
    • Nominalizations and participles in Swedish 

      Lundquist, Björn (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2009-05-20)
      The dissertation discusses two types of participles (present and past (passive)) and two types of nominalizations ((n)ing-nominalizations and e/a-nde-nominalizations) in Swedish. The dissertation has two major goals: (I) to reach a better understanding of the 'lexical' semantics of different types of verbs by investigating which properties of the verbs survive in different types of nominalizations ...
    • Successes and shortcomings of phonological accounts of Scandinavian object shift 

      Lyskawa, Paulina; Sandsted, Jade; Visser, Eline; Young, Nathan Joel; Lundquist, Björn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Object shift (OS) is a word order phenomenon in Scandinavian languages where under some circumstances the object appears before a sentential adverb. Despite the frequent assumptions that word order is determined in syntax, and despite the link of OS and syntactic phenomena like V2, there is no consensus that OS is a syntactic phenomenon. Particularly, it has been observed that OS targets specifically ...
