1. 1. Aspektualität ohne Aspekt? : Progressivität und Imperfektivität im Deutschen und Schwedischen

   Författare :Henrik Henriksson; Tyska; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; progressive; aspect; aspectuality; aspectuality in German; aspectuality in Swedish; imperfective; Allmän språkvetenskap Lingvistik; Linguistics; German language and literatur; Tyska språk och litteratur ;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis argues that it is relevant to make aspectual distincions in terms of progressivity and imperfectivity not only in languages like Russian or English but also in languages like German and Swedish, which traditionally are not considered aspect languages. This means that a distinction has to be made between aspectuality as a conceptual category and the grammatical category aspect (?Aspekt?), which needs a special morpho-syntactic expression. LÄS MER

4. 3. Towards a semantics of linguistic time : exploring some basic time concepts with special reference to English and Krio

   Författare :Johan Nordlander; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; English; Krio; distinction; tense; temporality; mood; modality; aspect; aspectuality; nucleus; dynamicity; verbal constituency; verbal situation; phase; stative; state; processive; process; eventive; event; telic; bounded; Kreolspråk; Sierra Leone; Krio språk ; syntax; Västafrika;

   Sammanfattning : Using English and the West-African creole language Krio as the objects of investigation, this study proposes an analysis in which verbs and the paradigms pertaining to verbs are conceived of as being the only direct carriers of linguistic time encoding. The fundamental assumption is that nominals encode substance, be it concrete or abstract, and that verbals encode abstract substance with time. LÄS MER

5. 4. Werden – ein Chamäleon der Sprache : Zum Werdegang von werden

   Författare :Margret Osterkamp; Tyska; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; auxiliary; scalarity; actionality; aspectuality; Vendler classes; internal temporal properties; inchoativity; speaker reference; implied speaker confirmation;

   Sammanfattning : The topic of this thesis is the evolutionary history of werden in German with reference to its four functions – as full verb, as copula and as auxiliary verb in combination with the past participle in the Vorgangspassiv and also in combination with the infinitive to denote future and, in some circumstances, epistemic modal events. On the basis of scrutiny of diachronic results and a discussion of views put forward in the synchronic literature and empirically corroborated by a detailed analysis of a corpus, it is argued that the unique position of werden in the German verb arena was made possible by its non-specified meaning of dynamic existence, by its medial, non-agentive diathesis and, crucially, by its additivity, and its actional and aspectual underdetermination.
