Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract

Prepositional following revisited
- 2011
-
Ingår i: Studia neophilologica. - 1651-2308 .- 0039-3274. ; 83:1, s. 5-20
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The article is a follow-up of the author´s 1990 corpus-based study of the same phenomenon, viz. the grammaticalization of the participle "following" to a preposition, synonymous with "after". The main findings are (1) that the usage was well established earlier than has previously been noted, (2) that the frequency of prepositional "following" in British English has more or less quadrupled during the last 50 years, and (3) that automated tagging is far from reliable when it comes to items in the process of grammaticalization.

Recension av Engelska idiomboken
- 1994
-
Ingår i: LexicoNordica. - 0805-2735. ; 1, s. 326-327
-
Recension (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The reviewer finds it disappointing that a book on idioms lacks completely a theoretical discussion of what an idiom is. Withour such a discussion or a definition, the set of entries tends to become haphazard. In addition, quire a few of the tranlations offered are found inadequate.

Recension av Hugo Olsson, Språket - så fungerar det
- 1999
-
Ingår i: Moderna Språk. - 0026-8577. ; 93:2, s. 239-243
-
Recension (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The review is generally favourable, but it is pointed out that the "compendium tone" lingers in some wordings and that the book is geared towards students of French and therefore less suitable for other categories of language students.

- 1994
-
Ingår i: LexicoNordica. - 0805-2735. ; 1, s. 281-292
-
Recension (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The reviewer recognizes that the dictionaries under review are by far the biggest for the Swedish market. However, he finds fault with the mode of presentation and, especially, with the set of entries, particularly in the Sw-Eng dictionary, many of which, are outmoded and unneeded.
