• Number sensitive anaphors and short distance pronouns 

      Lundquist, Bjørn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-08-22)
      Reflexive pronouns do not in carry number information, as opposed to regular object pronouns and possessive pronouns, as shown below in the contrast between third person reflexive pronouns (1­2) and first person object/reflexive pronouns (3­4)
    • Prefixed negation 

      Lundquist, Bjørn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-08-22)
      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 ...
    • Restrictions on reflexive and anti-causative readings in nominalizations and participles 

      Lundquist, Bjørn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      This article discusses the absence of reflexive or self-caused readings in certain types of participles and de-verbal nominalizations, like the hanging of the suicidal patient and The suicidal patient was hanged yesterday. I argue that the "anti-reflexive" reading is not triggered by the presence of a subject PRO or pro, but rather by the absence of reflexive marking, i.e. overt marking that functions ...
    • Trykkplasseringa i latinske lånord og partikkelverb i tre norske dialektområde 

      Tengesdal, Eirik; Lundquist, Bjørn (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2021-12-31)
      Denne artikkelen granskar sambandet mellom trykkplassering i latinske lånord (som butikk) og partikkelverb (som gå ut), der trykkplasseringa på fyrstestavinga eller sistestavinga varierer. Med di partikkelverb har ein del av variasjon som skriv seg frå innomspråklege strukturelle faktorar, reknar me med at desse faktorane ikkje påverkar latinske ord i like stor grad. Ved å granska ikkje-syntaktisk ...
    • Tverrspråklig innflytelse fra L1 i tilegnelsen av argumentplassering i L2 norsk og svensk 

      Westendorp, Maud; Lundquist, Bjørn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-02)
      Plasseringen av subjekt og objekt i norsk og svensk avhenger av mange ulike faktorer. Det har tidligere blitt vist at andrespråkstalere i grammatikalitetsvurderinger ikke er sensitive til finkornete distinksjoner som er avgjørende for argumentplassering i norsk (Anderssen mfl. 2018). I denne artikkelen presenterer vi resultat fra tre eksperiment som tester plassering av subjekt og objekt hos ...
    • Variable V2 in Norwegian Heritage Language: An effect of crosslinguistic influence? 

      Westergaard, Marit; Lohndal, Terje; Lundquist, Bjørn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-28)
      This paper discusses possible attrition of verb second (V2) word order in Norwegian heritage language by investigating a corpus of spontaneous speech produced by 50 2nd–4th generation heritage speakers in North America. The study confirms previous findings that V2 word order is generally stable in heritage situations, but nevertheless finds approximately 10% V2 violations. The cases of non-V2 word ...
    • Variation across individuals and domains in Norwegian heritage language 

      Lundquist, Bjørn; Anderssen, Merete; Lohndal, Terje; Westergaard, Marit (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-22)
      This paper investigates spontaneous production from 50 speakers of Norwegian heritage language in the Corpus of American Nordic Speech and studies the interplay between four linguistic properties: possessives and double definiteness, verb second word order, grammatical gender, and the amount of language mixing. It is shown that speakers cluster in the sense that some speakers produce more Norwegian-like ...
    • The verb phrase: argument structure and particle placement 

      Lundquist, Bjørn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-08-22)
      The Scandinavian languages show fairly little variation with respect to the internal syntax of the verb phrase. In general, the verb phrase is head initial, i.e., the direct object always follows the main verb (VO­order)
    • Verb-particles: active verbs 

      Lundquist, Bjørn (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 

      Lundquist, Bjørn (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 

      Lundquist, Bjørn (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 ...
