  1. 1. Kasta bort bollen och äta bort sin huvudvärk : En studie av argumentstrukturen i kausativa bort-konstruktioner

    Författare :Christian Sjögreen; Ulla Stroh-Wollin; Benjamin Lyngfelt; Martin Hilpert; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; argument structure; causation; constructions; semantic frames; particles; Nordiska språk; Scandinavian Languages;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates the argument structure of transitive particle constructions with the adverb bort, meaning ‘away’, ‘off’. On the basis of approximately 2000 authentic instances of the partially schematic structure [subject verb bort object], I have identified a number of constructions at different levels of abstraction.

  3. 2. Optional rhemes and omitted undergoers : An event structure approach to implicit objects in Swedish

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to define the essential syntactic-semantic properties of three types of objectless sentences in present-day Swedish. The three types of objectless sentences are labeled descriptively as follows: Implicit Object Read type (IOR) with pseudo-transitive verbs like läsa ‘read’; Implicit Object Open type (IOO), which involves various sets of transitive verbs like öppna ‘open’ and bära ‘carry’; and Implicit Object Kill type (IOK), which typically involves destruction verbs like döda ‘kill’.

    Sammanfattning : This dissertation investigates how grammatical functions in transitive sentences (i.e., `subject' and `direct object') are distributed in written Swedish discourse with respect to morphosyntactic as well as semantic and referential (i.e. LÄS MER

  5. 4. (De)composing the middle : A minimalist approach to middles in English and Swedish

    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; passive; argument structure; past participle; Distributed Morphology; root; agentivity; middle; genericity; disposition ascription; modification; grammatical features; verbal alternation;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is concerned with a particular type of generic sentence that is referred to as the ‘middle construction’ in the literature. The aim of the thesis is to offer a theoretical account of middles couched within the non-lexicalist framework of Distributed Morphology (see Halle & Marantz 1993 and subsequent work), and, more generally, within the Minimalist Program (see e.
