Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article discusses a specific type of genitive compounds in Icelandic and their historical development. This type of compound has genitive plural forms of strong adjectives in the first part, e.g. sjúkra(gen.pl.)rúm, lit. ‘sick (people’s) bed’, i.e. ‘sickbed’, fátækra(gen.pl.)hverfi, lit. ‘poor (people’s) district’, i.e. ‘district populated by poor people, slum’, and blindra(gen.pl.)letur, lit. ‘blind (people’s) script’, i.e. ‘script for blind people, braille’. The type in question is particularly interesting because it has stronger ties to syntactic structures than the more common types with nouns as first parts. Compounds of this type arguably originate in syntax as their word formation almost always reflects a corresponding underlying syntactic structure. Accordingly, the word formation of fátækrahverfi derives from hverfi fátækra ‘district of poor (people)’ with a noun and an attributive genitive; the attribute ends up as the first part in the compound, resulting in a merger of the attribute and the noun.The study is based on a thorough investigation of digital resources, in particular ONP – Dictionary of Old Norse Prose, which covers texts up to 1540, and RMS – Ritmálssafn Orðabókar Háskólans, a lexicographical archive of excerpted citations from 1540 to modern times. The study reveals an interesting development in these compounds from Old Icelandic to Modern Icelandic. In early Icelandic, we find structures like [[sjúkra manna] [hús]] from [[hús [sjúkra manna]] ‘sick men’s house’, and then a later development shows that the nominal part of the attribute, manna, is omitted and the adjective is left alone in the role of the modifying part, i.e. sjúkrahús, lit. ‘sick (people’s) house’, i.e. ‘hospital’. The omission of the nominal part of the attribute is in the vast majority of cases predictable as it almost always has a reference to human beings.

Recension (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This dissertation represents a successful combination of theoretical exploration and thorough empirical work. The author has investigated four constructions where modern Icelandic differs from the mainland Scandinavian languages and, as is shown in the dissertation, also to some extent from modern Faroese. The relevant constructions involve the order of sentential adverbs and the finite verb in various kinds of subordinate clauses, Topicalization in embedded clauses, Stylistic Fronting + Expletive Insertion and the so called Transitive Expletive Construction. Each of these has received attention from linguists in recent years, but so far no one has looked in detail at possible correlations between the acceptability judgments for all of these constructions. In addition to providing a careful and motivated syntactic analysis of the constructions, the author has consulted judgment data from approximately 1600 Icelandic speakers of various ages and compared these with judgments from speakers in the Faroe Islands, in Western Jutland and in Älvdalen in north Dalecarlia, where he has carried out fieldwork within the ScanDiaSyn project. In some cases he has supplemented the questionnaire data with corpus studies. The result is a comprehensive overview of the actual use of these constructions in Modern Icelandic, together with a balanced assessment of the various clause type structures that are relevant for the Scandinavian languages.

Thematic constraints on presentational sentences in Icelandic and Swedish

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article we report on a systematic comparison of presentational sentences in Icelandic and Swedish, looking in particular at possible thematic roles of the pivot and how they correlate with positional options. Despite some well-known differences between the languages (only Icelandic allows ‘high’ IP-pivots and pivots with agentive transitive verbs), it turns out that the restrictions on VP-pivots are similar, both in terms of roles and positions. VP-pivots have to be Themes, Paths or Performers and may co-occur with other DPs, but only if the pivot is the last DP argument. We show how these restrictions to some extent reflect the argument structure proposed in Platzack (2010). Although Swedish does not allow IP-pivots in general, pivots with incorporated negation can only appear in the IP, but are still subject to the same thematic constraints as VP-pivots. Presentational sentences need to be distinguished from other constructions that show certain similarities, including some Transitive Expletive Constructions in Swedish, discussed in Håkansson (2017).
