The development of generic maður/man for the construction of discourse stance in Icelandic and Swedish
Relating Events in Narrative, Volume 2
Discourse stance
The aim of this article is to integrate findings reported in the preceding articles in this collection, employing a global discourse perspective labeled discourse stance. The paper attempts to clarify what is meant by this notion, and how it can contribute to the evaluation of text construction along the major variables of our project: target Language (Dutch, English, French etc.), Age (developmental level and schooling), Modality (writing vs. sp…
Toward a cross-linguistic comparison of lexical quanta in speech and writing
The present study presents contrastive analyses of task-oriented spoken and written discourse in terms of lexical diversity, lexical density, and word length. In an age-matched within-language comparison (Swedish), written discourse consistently scored higher on these measures. It is suggested that the same type of differences will hold for any language, because of the difference between speech and writing in processing constraints. The absolute …
Narrative development in a multilingual context
On the acquisition of verb argument structure
The present study explores two domains in Scandinavian child language development where the encoding of arguments to verbs shows a variable distribution. The first domain is grammatical subjects in an early phase of development when the 90% criterion is not yet attained. The second domain is spatial arguments (landmarks and location). It is argued that the encoding of subjects as well as of spatial arguments represents multiple constraint-satisfa…
Linguistic feedback, input and analysis in early language development
The Inter-Nordic Study of Language Acquisition
The typological variation between the Nordic languages offers a “natural laboratory” for the cross-linguistic study of first language acquisition. Based on an on-going inter-Nordic project, the present article discusses research designs for the exploration of this laboratory together with pilot analyses of acquisition data across Danish, Finnish, Icelandic, Norwegian and Swedish. On the basis of evidence from longitudinal case studies, from narra…
