Med renessansens framvekst i Italia ble det skapt en hagekultur som skulle få betydning langt utenfor landets grenser. Idealene ble hentet fra antikken. De karakteristiske renessansehagene startet blant adelen i Firenze og utviklet seg til store og imponerende anlegg blant overklassen ellers i Italia. Motivene fra renessansehagen spredte seg til den europeiske overklassen, men også til hager ...

The neurological notion of “reserve” arises from an individually observable dissociation between brain health and cognitive status. According to the cognitive reserve hypothesis, high-reserve individuals experience functional compensation for neural atrophy and, thus, are able to maintain relatively stable cognitive functioning with no or smaller-than-expected impairment. Several lifestyle factors ...

The article investigates the motifs of hunting and wilderness in the Norwegian novelist Trygve Gulbranssens Bjørndal Trilogy – Og bakom synger skogene (1933), published in English as Beyond Sing the Woods; Det blåser fra Dauingfjell (1934) and Ingen vei går utenom (1935), collectively translated under the English title The Wind from the Mountains. The books have been translated into over 30 ...

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) ...

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).

The article is an overview of Sami literature, past and present, with a specific emphasis on the connection between tradition and innovation, in which literature is regarded in a broader sense than only limited to the written word. Thus the relationship between the traditional epic yoik songs and contemporary poetry is being dealt with, as is the multimedia approach that several Sami artists have ...

This article researches patronymics in a broad sense – taken as components of a proper name that, morphologically, can be decomposed in a first name and a morpheme – with a focus on Spanish and Belarusian – the second conforming to a narrow definition of patronymic, where it is a component of a proper name distinct from both the first name and the surname. Our claim is that patronymics are the ...

Tradisjonelt har det norske genussystemet blitt karakterisert som lite transparent. Et viktig spørsmål er om språkbrukere likevel kan være sensitive til visse egenskaper ved substantiver og bruker disse produktivt når de tildeler genus til ukjente ord. I denne artikkelen undersøker vi eksperimentelt språkbrukeres sensitivitet til fonologiske egenskaper som vi har identifisert gjennom korpusundersøkelser. ...

All over Scandinavia the negative prefix o­/u­/ó­ [1] productively attaches to passive participles (and to some extent to adjectives as well), just like e.g. un­ in English (as in un­washed). In the northern parts of the Swedish speaking area, o­ can attach to active past participles (the so­called supine) as well. In the ScanDiaSyn survey, we investigated to what extent o­ prefixation to active ...

Unbound reflexives exist in Icelandic and Faroese in contexts where an “author” or a logophoric center has been established in the discourse, as has been discussed by Maling (1984) and Sigurðsson (1990) for Icelandic, and Barnes (1986) for Faroese.
