  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. Making a difference : Exploring the teaching and learning of the English progressive aspect among Swedish 6th grade students

    Författare :Clare Lindström; Ulla Runesson; Yuefeng Ellen Zhang; Jönköping University; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this study is to generate knowledge about what 6th grade students (12-13 years old) need to discern in order to be able to use the English progressive aspect (PROG) in a syntactically and semantically accurate way. This object of learning is not only complex, but it is unmarked grammatically in Swedish, which poses considerable difficulties for English language learners. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Language contact and structural change : An Old Finnish case study

    Författare :Merlijn De Smit; Erling Wande; Kaisa Häkkinen; Raimo Anttila; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Finnish; historical linguistics; language contact; Whitehead; Finnish language; Finska språket;

    Sammanfattning : The object of this study is to shed new light on both the influence exerted on Finnish by the Swedish language, and on the mechanisms by which language contact in structural domains takes place. It is argued that syntactic borrowing should be regarded as a subtype of reanalysis and extension rather than as an independent mechanism. LÄS MER

  5. 4. 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

  7. 5. Progressives in use and contact : A descriptive, areal and typological study with special focus on selected Iranian languages

    Författare :Ghazaleh Vafaeian; Östen Dahl; Agnes Korn; Maria Koptjevskaja Tamm; Pier Marco Bertinetto; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; progressive; use; contact; areal; parallel corpora; typology; grammaticalization; Iranian; Persian; Mazandarani; Gilaki; Taleshi; Tati; Linguistics; lingvistik;

    Sammanfattning : Progressives are grammatical patterns primarily used to refer to events that are ongoing at a specific time. This thesis investigates uses of such patterns in a number of languages as well as the interaction of a number of progressives in contact. LÄS MER
