Complementation
Complementation is one of the two main ways in which linguistic forms, such as words, may be linked to other forms. The other major relationship is called modification. A complement is said to be licensed by another word, which is in need of it in order to make sense. For instance, an object which is licensed by a transitive verb is said to be a complement of that verb. In order to form a meaningful utterance, the object needs to be either explic…

Coding Betweenness in Swedish and Norwegian Translations from English
This paper examines the way in which the semantic notion of ‘betweenness’ is coded in Swedish and Norwegian translations of the same English source texts. The study takes its starting point in the contention that the original English expressions of ‘betweenness’ containing the preposition between constitute a viable tertium comparationis for translations of that form into the other two languages. A classification of all occurrences of between in …

Complementation
By “complementation” is meant the process by which a linguistic item is added to another item which would be syntactically and semantically incomplete without this addition. Complementation is to be distinguished from “modification”, which describes the addition of a non‐compulsory item to another item, the meaning of which it nuances in some way or another.
Distinguishing causative and permissive readings of the Swedish verb låta
In this paper an account is given of the semantics of the Present-day Swedish verb låta ‘let’ in constructions with an infinitival complement. It is generally assumed that the verb låta in this construction type can encode either causation or permission. From a synchronic perspective, the relationship between the two meanings has been described by some scholars as inclusive, whereas others have adduced possible criteria for distinguishing between…
Health Locus of Control Predicts Survival after Lung Transplant
The purpose of this study was to assess whether health locus of control beliefs measured pre-transplant predicted survival after lung transplant. Participants were 100 patients who completed the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control scale before and after transplant. Cox proportional hazards regressions were used to investigate the relationship between each of the three subscales (IHLC, PHLC, CHLC) and survival time after transplant. After adj…
