  • Minimal Words in a Minimal Syntaxby Gunlög Josefsson

    John Benjamins Publishing Company 1998; US$ 158.00

    In Minimal Words in a Minimal Syntax the author combines a detailed description of the morphological structure of words in Swedish with a daring new approach to theoretical morphology, based on the Minimalist Program of Chomsky (1995) (as developed for syntactic structure). The X-bar theoretic approach to word structure of the Principles and Parameters framework is replaced by a rule free approach incorporating only Merge and Move as structure building devices. The author argues that stems have no word class features, which are provided inflectional affixes (including theme vowels etc.). Inflectional and derivational affixes differ only in the external syntactic requirement that inflectional affixes are associated with features that require... more...

  • The Evaluability Hypothesisby Johan Brandtler

    John Benjamins Publishing Company 2012; US$ 149.00

    Although the field of polarity is well researched, this monograph offers a new take on polarity sensitivity that both challenges and incorporates previous theories. Based primarily on Swedish data, it presents new solutions to long-standing problems, such as the non-complementary distribution of NPIs and PPIs in yes/no-questions and conditionals, long distance licensing by superordinate elements, and the occurrence of polarity items in wh -questions. It is argued that polarity sensitivity can be understood in terms of evaluability . Lacking any immediate predecessor in the literature, evaluability refers to the possibility of accepting or rejecting an utterance as true in a communicative exchange. Intriguingly, the evaluable status of a clause... more...

  • Perspektiv på svenska språket och litteraturenby piotr bukowski; grazyna pietrzak-porwisz; iwona kowal

    Jagiellonian University Press 2008; US$ 14.00

    The volume Perspektiv på svenska språket och litteraturen consists of fifteen articles based on papers by international scholars given at Swedish language and literature sessions, as part of the II. Internationaler Kongress der Krakauer Germanistik, held at the Jagiellonian University in October 2007.

Part 1 deals with Swedish literature and culture, part 2 investigates topics connected to translation, and part 3 contains a number of studies on selected... more...
