What the hell was in that wine?”
We consider a corpus of conversational narratives which arise in the complex, multiparty setting of pre- and post-game stretching sessions of a women’s elite basketball team. Our focus is on the characteristics of story openings within this corpus, and we consider how stories are launched; how roles of story opener and teller are distributed within the group, reflecting both entitlement to tell stories and social relationships between the partici…
A typology of non-local reflexives in the Scandinavian languages
The Scandinavian languages are very closely related but also vary syntactically in interesting ways, making this family useful in the study of typology variation. In this paper the issue of non-local reflexives, or ‘long-distance reflexives’ (LDR) is investigated. New LDR data from the Scandinavian languages is presented to show that the Binding Conditions cannot account for the variation in LDR in these languages, since the range of domains that…

Sjå på han mannen! On the definiteness and specificity of Scandinavian pronoun demonstratives
Pronouns with a demonstrative function appear in most of the Scandinavian languages in phrases like Sjå på han mannen ‘Look at that man’. Despite the Scandinavian languages varying in phrase-internal morphosyntactic definiteness agreement requirements generally, the pronoun demonstrative appears universally with a definite noun (phrase). This is accounted for within a Lexical-Functional Grammar framework, where the pronoun demonstrative is treate…
They’ in Australian English
‘They’ is a candidate for a generic, non-sexist third person singular pronoun, and is used by many speakers of Australian English. An analysis of first year university essays shows that ‘they’ is used not only as a generic pronoun, but also in other cases when the gender of the referent is simply not relevant at that point. This includes cases where the speaker is very clear about the referent's gender, including instances where the gender of the…
The Distribution of Reflexive Pronouns in Norwegian
This paper reports on the findings of a pilot study to investigate Long Distance Reflexives (LDR) in Norwegian. It begins with an introduction to the main features of Norwegian LDR, then examines data from several Norwegian dialects, showing that both the perspective model of LDR and the Logocentric Hierarchy is relevant to LDR in Norwegian. The final section presents some more data which highlight semantic differences between Norwegian anaphors …
