Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The zero relativizer (as in "People _ I know") is found only in English and in Nordic languages. By means of the ICLE corpus of learner essays, the article investigates to what extent advanced learners with other than Nordic mother tongues (German and Italian) succeed in acquiring and using this construction.

The etymology of Bags! - a simple case of voicing?
- 2009
-
Ingår i: Moderna Språk. - 2000-3560. ; 103:2, s. 1-14
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The article questions the traditional view that the exclamatory fomula "Bags I", used to claim something, derives from the verb "to bag". An alternative view is argued for, viz. that "Bags!" represents the Latin-based exclamation "Pax!" after voicing of the consonant phonemes. The voicing is viewed as a result of school-children's play with words or of regional accents or a combination of both. The article also notes that English-Swedish and Swedish-English dictionaries have made this connection since the 1930s and 1940s, respectively, but it has never been commented on explicitly before.

The gift of the gap: a study of Dutch and Swedish learners' use of the English zero relativizer
- 2009
-
Ingår i: English Studies. - : Informa UK Limited. - 0013-838X .- 1744-4217. ; 90:3, s. 333-344
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The zero relativizer, as in "Places _ I have seen", is used in English and in Nordic languages but in no other Germanic language. On the basis of a corpus of learner essays in English (ICLE) the article investigates to what extent advanced Dutch learners, without the help of positive transfer, match Swedish learners, who have exactly the same zero construction in their first language, in their use of the English zero relativizer.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- On the basis of a selection of material from two standardized corpora of American English ("Brown" and "Frown"), Arne Olofsson demonstrates that there has been a dramatic increase in the use of "that" as a relativizer in edited American English between the 1960s and the 1990s. He ascribes the change to a combination of editorial policy and computerized grammar checking.
