Full textAbstract:
Lo scopo della seguente tesi magistrale è quello di analizzare la graduale scomparsa del caso genitivo in greco da una prospettiva diacronica e dialettologica.
Verrà inizialmente presentata una breve storia della lingua greca e delle sue diverse fasi linguistiche: greco antico (da Micene all’Impero Romano), greco medievale (da Bisanzio all’Impero Ottomano), greco moderno (dalla caduta dell’Impero Ottomano alla cosiddetta “questione della lingua”) ed infine neogreco (dall’indipendenza della Grecia fino ai giorni nostri).
Sarà poi introdotto il sistema generale della declinazione dei casi in greco insieme con le loro caratteristiche morfologiche (desinenza e variazioni dell’accentuazione).
Particolare attenzione verrà data al genitivo introducendo, innanzitutto, i suoi vari impieghi ed usi; si passerà successivamente al fenomeno del sincretismo con il caso dativo prima e, in alcuni contesti specifici come nella declinazione dei pronomi personali, con il caso accusativo. Sarà, quindi, esposto il caso genitivo così come è formato ed usato nel neogreco. Verranno poi esposte le problematiche esistenti nella sua formazione (paradigmi mancanti nella declinazione); le costruzioni linguistiche alternative per la resa del genitivo; il modo in cui le parole di origine straniera entrate nel lessico del greco vengono declinate. Seguirà una breve analisi della perdita del genitivo in alcune varietà linguistiche e dialettali del neogreco.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this work is to investigate the evolution of genitive noun phrases (i.e. Genitive+Noun and Noun+Genitive structures, split genitives, his genitives and combined genitives) and their “analytic” equivalents (i.e. N+[of+N] structures) in some prose texts belonging to Old and Middle English.
In the first part of the study, different aspects of the various synthetic structures are examined. Firstly the investigation of the alternation between G+N and N+G structures in Old English shows that the (in)animacy of the genitive referent is a more important factor than the relative morpho-syntactic weight in determining the phrasal word-order. Secondly, the analysis of the relative frequency of the various synthetic structures demonstrates that N+G structures almost disappear during the Middle English period, in correlation with the change of function of the prepositional phrase of+N. On the contrary, G+N structures tend to remain stable up to the XIV century. Two hypotheses are proposed with respect to the preservation of G+N structures throughout the Middle English period: either they became fixed formulas or they were the result of a process of reanalysis of the –es marker as the possessive his in the so-called his genitive structures. In particular it is claimed that a four-stage grammaticalization path of the possessive his is what caused the bleaching between his genitive structures and NPs with –es genitives.
The second part of the study investigates the function and distribution of the prepositional phrase of+N: more specifically, it is claimed that the reanalysis of the predicative structure [[verb of movement] + [of+N]], used in ablative contexts, led to the change of function of the prepositional phrase from adverbal modifier to adnominal modifier.
Finally, a large part of the study is reserved to the investigation of the different semantic relations conveyed by both the genitive NPs and the N+[of+N] structures: in particular, it is showed that in Old English any synthetic structure could be associated to any semantic relation. On the contrary, in Middle English the reanalyzed N+[of+N] structure appears to take over the genitive NPs in any semantic relation, except the alienable/inalienable possessive relations where the G+N structure is still the most likely choice.

La tesi analizza il fenomeno del genitivo -aes nelle iscrizioni dell'impero romano. La prima parte introduce lo status quaestionis e vengono offerte le spiegazioni formulate dagli studiosi a partire dal XIX secolo fino agli anni 2000, che corrispondono a tre tesi principali: influenza del greco, l'influenza dell'osco o dei dialetti italici, l'analogia con la terza declinazione del latino. Il lavoro prosegue, nella seconda parte, con la presentazione dei dati raccolti, in tutto circa 1100 iscrizioni, catalogati in un database, e con l'analisi della distribuzione della desinenza per quanto riguarda l'area geografica, la collocazione cronologica, la tipologia epigrafica, la composizione della formula onomastica e il tipo di contesto linguistico. Nella parte conclusiva, vengono confrontati i dati ottenuti con le ipotesi, confutando quelle che non permettono di rendere ragione del fenomeno, per proporre una nuova interpretazione.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Linguistics and Philosophy, 2001.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 222-232).
What is the place of relatives with genitive subjects in a typology of relative clauses? Are they full or reduced, headed or free relatives? Can they appear pre- and postnominally? Can they be head-internal relatives? Are they finite or non-finite? Can they be restrictives and appositives? These are the questions that this thesis will address. Full relatives have nominative subjects. Thus, relatives with genitive subjects are not full relatives. Relatives with genitive subjects share, however, many properties with reduced relatives. Among others, both prohibit relative pronouns and complementizers. Both employ participles, i.e., verbs that lack tense but exhibit nominal properties. Both prohibit nominative subjects. Therefore, it will be argued that relative clauses with genitive subjects are reduced relatives. There exists, however, one difference between relative clauses with genitive subjects and standard reduced relatives. Only the former permits non-subject relativization. It will be argued that reduced relatives are headed by a NP and that the difference in permitting genitive subjects is caused by a difference in the case licensing mechanisms within this NP. Only if N can license structural genitive case can a language have relative clauses with genitive subjects. The verb in reduced relatives lacks tense. If the finite/non-finite distinction is based on the presence of tense, then reduced relatives are non-finite clauses.
(cont.) Furthermore, there are no non-finite free relatives. Thus, reduced relatives must be headed relatives. Finally, reduced relatives cannot be appositives. Appositives are full clauses. Thus, reduced relatives can only be restrictive relatives. In certain contexts, however, reduced relatives permit another reading. They can receive Free Adjunct interpretations. This is because Free Adjuncts too are smaller than CP. Thus they depend on the matrix clause for their temporal interpretation. This can result in a reading according to which the events in the matrix and the adjunct clause co-occur, i.e., in a when-reading and in an if-reading if the matrix clause contains a modal. The reading that is always available to reduced adjunct clauses is the because-reading, which as a default is the most salient way for the adjunct to establish a logical connection to the matrix clause.

Glover, Kevin. "The genitive ratio and its applications." Thesis, University of Essex, 2016. http://repository.essex.ac.uk/16463/.
Full textAbstract:
The genitive ratio (GR) is a novel method of classifying nouns as animate, concrete or abstract. English has two genitive (possessive) constructions: possessive-s (the boy's head) and possessive-of (the head of the boy). There is compelling evidence that preference for possessive-s is strongly influenced by the possessor's animacy. A corpus analysis that counts each genitive construction in three conditions (definite, indefinite and no article) confirms that occurrences of possessive-s decline as the animacy hierarchy progresses from animate through concrete to abstract. A computer program (Animyser) is developed to obtain results-counts from phrase-searches of Wikipedia that provide multiple genitive ratios for any target noun. Key ratios are identified and algorithms developed, with specific applications achieving classification accuracies of over 80%. The algorithms, based on logistic regression, produce a score of relative animacy that can be applied to individual nouns or to texts. The genitive ratio is a tool with potential applications in any research domain where the relative animacy of language might be significant. Three such applications exemplify that. Combining GR analysis with other factors might enhance established co-reference (anaphora) resolution algorithms. In sentences formed from pairings of animate with concrete or abstract nouns, the animate noun is usually salient, more likely to be the grammatical subject or thematic agent, and to co-refer with a succeeding pronoun or noun-phrase. Two experiments, online sentence production and corpus-based, demonstrate that the GR algorithm reliably predicts the salient noun. Replication of the online experiment in Italian suggests that the GR might be applied to other languages by using English as a 'bridge'. In a mental health context, studies have indicated that Alzheimer's patients' language becomes progressively more concrete; depressed patients' language more abstract. Analysis of sample texts suggests that the GR might monitor the prognosis of both illnesses, facilitating timely clinical interventions.

Bahadir, Gozde. "Structural Priming In Turkish Genitive-possessive Constructions." Phd thesis, METU, 2012. http://etd.lib.metu.edu.tr/upload/12614863/index.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
This study addresses the question of the mental representation and processing of language by investigating &ldquostructural priming&rdquo
in Turkish Genitive-Possessive (GEN-POSS) constructions. Structural priming is the facilitating effect of having already experienced a structural form on its subsequent processing. We investigate this phenomenon on a construction pair in Turkish, which shares the same external GEN-POSS morpho-syntactic template despite having distinct grammatical categories. The structures under scrutiny are possessive noun phrases (e.g. &ldquo
Korsan, [prenses-in(GEN) ö
ykü
-sü
n(POSS.3SG)]-ü
hatirladi.&rdquo
which means: The pirate remembered [the princess&rsquo
s story].) and embedded noun clauses with nominalized verbs as predicates (e.g. &ldquo
Korsan, [prenses-in(GEN) gü
l-dü
g(VN)-ü
n(POSS.3SG)]-ü
hatirladi.&rdquo
which means: The pirate remembered [that the princess (had) laughed/was laughing].) The results of the study which consists of a series of production and comprehension experiments with various methodologies (written sentence completion, self-paced reading and eye-tracking) indicate that structural priming might access the morphosyntactic level of representation in Turkish. Priming seems sensitive to the distinction between the phrasal vs. clausal nature of structures. During the processing of GEN-POSS constructions, the grammatical information regarding the constituents is accessed. Complex forms are further decomposed if processing resources are available. Overall, language production and comprehension seem to operate on the same structural representations but through different mechanisms. In addition, the study also contributes to the understanding of structural priming as a methodological paradigm and to the establishment of a bridge between the processing and theoretical linguistic analysis of Turkish nominalized verbs. To conclude, this study pioneers in exploring structural priming in Turkish and opens way to future research in this line.

Full textAbstract:
Kinesiska och miao-språket hmu har nära kontakt med varandra och påverkan från kinesiskan har iakttagits i hmu på lexikal och fonologisk nivå. Denna studie undersöker hur påverkan från kinesiskan ser ut även på syntaktisk nivå i fråga om användningen av genitiv och nominalisering. På kinesiska uttrycks detta med en och samma partikel, vilken har en motsvarighet i hmu. Studien delades upp i två delar: en korpusundersökning och en meningsanalys över två olika upplagor av Nya testamentet på hmu. I den tidigare upplagan användes den partikel flitigt som på hmu sägs uttrycka genitiv och nominalisering och korpusundersökningen visade en minskad användning av denna partikel i den senare upplagan av Nya testamentet. Meningsanalysen visade att kinesisk påverkan finns på användningen av genitiv men inte på nominalisering i hmu. Med detta har vi fått en klarare bild av hur kinesisk påverkan ser ut på just dessa syntaktiska funktioner i hmu.The Chinese language and the Miao Language Hmu live in close contact with each other. The influence from Chinese has been noted in the language of Hmu in both lexicon and phonology. This research examines what the influence from the Chinese language looks like in the syntax of Hmu when it comes to genitive and nominalization. In Chinese this is expressed with one single particle, which has an equivalent in Hmu. The research is divided into two parts: a corpus study and an analysis of sentences based on two different editions of the New Testament in Hmu. In the earliest edition the Hmu particle, which is said to express genitive and nominalization, is used frequently and the corpus study showed a decreased usage of this particle in the later edition of the New Testament. The analysis of sentences showed that there is a Chinese influence on the usage of genitive but not on the nominalization. The picture of what Chinese influence looks like on these particular syntactic functions in Hmu is now clearer.

Full textAbstract:
How to teach English as a second or foreign language has been heatedly debated as long as the subject has been taught. One of the many issues regarding the teaching of English as a second or foreign language is the issue of whether or not to teach grammar, and if we teach it, how should we go about it? This study examines two different approaches to teaching English grammar at the Swedish upper-secondary school level. Experiments were conducted in four different groups of students (a total of 64 informants were used), all from the same upper-secondary school in a medium-sized Swedish city. The experiments were based on teaching the genitive construction to the informants during a 75-minute class. The results were analyzed mainly quantitatively with the help of test results from the 64 informants; the aspect of gender differences in the results was also analyzed. According to the study, one of the approaches seemed to be slightly superior to the other. There were also factors (other than the test results) which may speak in favour of one approach rather than the other.

É bastante comum em qualquer registro do Português Brasileiro (PB) (e de outras línguas) um tipo de construção formado com verbos que apresentam a alternância transitivo/inacusativo, como em (1): a. José quebrou o pé da mesa. b. Quebrou o pé da mesa. c. O pé da mesa quebrou. Esse tipo de verbo permite ainda, em algumas circunstâncias, pelo menos mais uma possibilidade de construção, possibilidade essa que se encontra exemplificada em (2): A mesa quebrou o pé. O propósito desta dissertação é observar as propriedades desse tipo de estrutura, que apesar de um tanto restrito no PB escrito, é encontrado com bastante freqüência na língua oral. Desde já nos referiremos a essas construções como "sentenças genitivas". Como suporte teórico a este estudo, utilizamo-nos do quadro da Teoria Gerativa, mais especificamente de uma das abordagens do Modelo Princípios e Parâmetros - a Teoria de Regência e Ligação (TRL). Dessa forma, no primeiro capítulo, apresentamos em linhas gerais a Teoria X-barra, um dos módulos da TRL; em seguida são apresentadas a Teoria Temática e a Teoria do Caso, mais detalhadamente, pois são os dois módulos cruciais para o nosso trabalho. Adicionalmente, fazemos uma breve apresentação da Hipótese Inacusativa e desenvolvemos um estudo sobre o Caso Genitivo, mais especificamente sobre o genitivo partitivo. Tratamos também do mecanismo Mova a o qual se refere ao deslocamento de constituintes da sentença e encerramos o capítulo, demonstrando a distinção entre preposições como núcleos lexicais e núcleos funcionais. Ao expormos sobre esses tópicos, procuramos sempre enfocar os aspectos diretamente relevantes para a caracterização da estrutura considerada. No segundo capítulo, apresentamos uma revisão da literatura a respeito desse tipo de oração (cf. Pontes, 1987 & Galves, 1998). O terceiro capítulo, desenvolve a análise das sentenças genitivas relativamente a alguns dos tópicos apresentados no primeiro capítulo. Finalmente, no quarto capítulo, núcleo desta pesquisa, demonstramos algumas propriedades das sentenças genitivas que nos permitirão caracterizá-las com um pouco mais de exatidão.

Full textAbstract:
Este trabalho trata da organização de sintagmas nominais no armênio, revelando uma interação peculiar entre a expressão de definitude e a marcação morfológica de Caso e as conseqüências dessa relação para a organização estrutural desta língua. Mostra se que os sintagmas nominais são interpretados como definidos como resultado de atribuição de Caso estrutural, e que existe uma assimetria entre os Casos estruturais e os Casos inerentes quanto à atribuição de definitude. Como ponto de partida, discute-se o estatuto do sufixo n/y, chamado de artigo definido pela gramática tradicional do armênio. A investigação das propriedades morfossintáticas desse sufixo mostra que o mesmo é uma marca com características mistas, que atua na atribuição de definitude e Caso de uma maneira não atestada nas línguas naturais e questiona o recorte entre as funções de Caso e os meios de expressão de definitude. Baseando-nos nos trabalhos de Chomsky (1986b), Longobardi (1994) e Giusti (2002), propomos a reanálise do sufixo -n/y como uma marca de Caso estrutural, que transforma os sintagmas nominais em argumentos sintáticos, e é associada ao nível DP na estrutura frasal. Ademais, mostra-se que a ausência de marcação de Caso estrutural resulta numa série de restrições semântico-sintáticas nos sintagmas nominais (nus), a mais proeminente sendo o movimento desses sintagmas para uma posição antes do verbo, seguidos imediatamente pelo auxiliar. Isso leva a diferentes ordens superficiais para sintagmas marcados por Caso estrutural (SVO) e sintagmas nus (SOauxV). Tal evidência, junto com o quadro das características dos sintagmas nus no armênio, leva à análise dos mesmos como pseudo-incorporados, conforme proposto por Massam (2001) para o niueano, com a diferença de que o sintagma nu se adjunge à projeção funcional TP no armênio, sem passar pela operação de alçamento do predicado. Quanto à expressão de definitude nos Casos inerentes, mostramos que em contraste com os sintagmas nos Casos estruturais, que podem aparecer com ou sem marcação aberta de Caso e ter, respectivamente, leitura definida ou indefinida, os inerentes devem sempre carregar a morfologia casual e são ambíguos quanto à definitude. Nesse aspecto, analisamos as projeções nominais Genitivas e constatamos que, apesar da aparente semelhança superficial, as mesmas exibem propriedades distintas que correspondem a duas estruturas internas diferentes do sintagma nominal, viii podendo ser caracterizadas como duas classes distintas: o Genitivo Referencial, que aparece em Spec/DP e é interpretado como definido por se associar ao nível DP, e o Genitivo Modificador, que permanece no domínio do NP no percurso da derivação. As conclusões a que chegamos provam que mesmo sem possuir um artigo definido canônico, o armênio oferece evidências a favor da postulação do nível DP como universal, responsável pelas interpretações definidas dos sintagmas nominais. Nos Casos estruturais, a definitude vem da atribuição de Caso, enquanto no Genitivo (um exemplo de Caso inerente) vem da posição ocupada dentro do sintagma nominal. Por conseguinte, o presente trabalho traz uma contribuição teórica valiosa para a análise unificada das projeções nominais, além de auxiliar na elucidação de alguns assuntos empíricos controversos do armênio e abrir caminho para pesquisas futuras.This thesis investigates the structural organization of noun phrases in Armenian, an Indo-European language with mixed properties, focusing on the interaction between Case and (in)definiteness. The main claim of the study is that, contrary to traditional view, Armenian has no (definite) article, and definiteness in this language is a result of structural Case marking on NPs. This claim has implications for the analysis of bare nominals as NPs that lack both Case and referential properties and are syntactically restricted to a peculiar configuration, resulting in different superficial orders for Case-marked (SVO) and bare noun phrases (SOauxV). Moreover, this analysis casts light on a rather intriguing question of how definiteness is expressed in inherent Cases. It is shown that, unlike structural Cases, which express a direct correlation between definiteness and Case, inherent Cases, more precisely Genitive NPs, are interpreted as (in)definite by associating themselves to distinct structural positions. The starting point of our discussion is the re-analysis of the suffix -n/y, traditionally classified as a definite article. Highlighting Case and (in)definiteness as two independent conditions on argumenthood (Chomsky (1986b), Longobardi (1994), Giusti (2002)) that are closely correlated in Armenian, we argue that this suffix is in fact a structural Case marker, which turns nominals into syntactic arguments, and is associated with DP level. Focusing on the morpho-syntactic behavior of bare nominals in Armenian, it is shown that in the absence of structural Case marking, their distribution is syntactically restricted to a position in which they appear to the left of the verb and must be adjacent to the auxiliary. This distribution is accounted for by adopting the pseudo-incorporation analysis of Massam (2001). We show that bare nouns in Armenian exhibit typical properties of pseudo-incorporated nominals, as lack of reference, number-neutrality, phrasal nature, among others. Turning our attention to Genitive constructions, which always appear with Case morphology, we analyze a number of properties that superficially distinguish two (main) types, which we propose to call Referential and Modifying Genitives. The difference between them is syntactic, as they have different structural representations: Spec/DP for Referential and NP domain for Modifying Genitive. x As a result, we conclude that there exists an asymmetry between inherent and structural Cases as to how they express definiteness. Moreover, we conclude that in spite of the fact that Armenian does not have canonical (definite) article, a DP level must be postulated for this language, as a projection responsible for the referentiality/definiteness of the noun phrases. Thus, this study contributes to the outgoing debates about the precise functions of D as universal category and provides a valuable theoretical contribution to the cross-linguistic investigations of nominal projections.

Full textAbstract:
Adverbiale Kasus sind Substantivgruppen ohne Präposition, die im Satz die Funktion einer temporalen, lokalen oder modalen Adverbialbestimmung erfüllen. Im Satz treten sie in der Regel als Adjunkte auf und sind in ihrer Form syntaktisch unabhängig. Das Ziel der vorliegenden Dissertation ist, adverbiale Kasus des Deutschen anhand zahlreicher Belege sowohl synchron als auch diachron aus verschiedenen Perspektiven zu beschreiben. In den älteren Sprachstufen sind adverbiale Kasus häufig belegt. Bis zum Gegenwartsdeutschen wurden viele davon adverbialisiert, durch Präpositionalphrasen ersetzt oder sind zu Phraseologismen erstarrt. In dieser Arbeit wird auf die semantisch-lexikalischen Restriktionen, Struktur, interne Ausfüllung bzw. Besetzung, Bezugsmöglichkeiten, Bedeutungen und die stilistischen Besonderheiten adverbialer Kasus ausführlich eingegangen.Adverbial case is a noun phrase without preposition, functioning as the adverbial modifier of time, place or manner in a sentence. Syntactically they usually serve as adjuncts and are independent in their form. The aim of the present investigation was to describe the German adverbial case synchronically and diachronically on the basis of a large number of speech samples from different points of view. Adverbial cases have been very frequent at the earlier stages of German. Many of them have been adverbialised, replaced by prepositional phrases or have turned into phraseologisms in the course of language development up to the modern German. The present doctor thesis provides a detailed study of the lexical-semantic restrictions of the adverbial cases as well as of their structure and inner filling, their relation to other sentence constituents, aspects of their meaning and stylistic peculiarities.

Full textAbstract:
The main goal of this thesis is to analyze the syntactic structure of determiner phrases in Brazilian Portuguese (BP), under the Principles and Parameters approach in its minimalist version (CHOMSKY, 1995 and subsequent works), focusing on the extraction of arguments and adjuncts introduced by de (of) preposition (de-phrases). The analysis to be developed takes into account Abney s (1987) DP hypothesis and the theoretical perspective that assumes the nominal construction as the reflex of the architecture of the clause structure. The de-phrases are going to be analyzed into two different groups: those which are true genitive constructions (arguments) and those which we are going to refer to as typical adjuncts. As we will make clear throughout the thesis, the group of genitives is generated in argument positions and the second group is generated in adjunction configuration. In what regards the restrictions imposed on extraction of de-phrases, we are going to propose that it can be captured by the unique constraint of Locality, as discussed in Manzini (1994). We are also going to argue that in BP the locus of phi-features (at least in what concerns number features) is the head D (MAGALHÃES, 2004; COSTA & FIGUEIREDOSILVA, 2006) and, once D is the locus for number in this language, this head is responsible for the Case properties of genitives (following similar analysis showed in AVELAR, 2006). Another crucial point of the proposal is the projection of a category FP, above DP, in BP nominal constructions, which plays similar role of the projection TopP proposed in Haegeman (2004). [Spec, FP] is an escape hatch position, not [Spec, DP], the last one an A position, related to Case properties. In relation to adjunction phenomenon, we will assume Hornstein & Nunes s (2008) proposal that adjunction occurs without obligatory labeling, in a similar way that Avelar (2006) proposes adjunction in DPs of BP. Instead of being adjoined in the DP periphery, as stated in Avelar, true nominal adjuncts are adjoined in a projection below DP, fact that explains why typical adjuncts can t be extracted in this language.Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico
O principal objetivo desta tese é analisar a estrutura sintática dos sintagmas de determinante no Português Brasileiro (PB), dentro do quadro teórico da Teoria de Princípios e Parâmetros, na sua versão Minimalista (CHOMSKY, 1995 e trabalhos subseqüentes), centrando-se no fenômeno da extração de argumentos e adjuntos de nome introduzidos pela preposição de (de-phrases), como um fenômeno submetido a restrições de ordem estrutural. A análise a ser apresentada assume a hipótese DP como proposta em Abney (1987), bem como a perspectiva teórica que tem tratado a arquitetura do sintagma nominal como uma arquitetura que reflete a da sentença. Os de-phrases em contextos nominais serão analisados separadamente em dois grupos: o grupo dos sintagmas genuinamente genitivos e que são manipulados na sintaxe como verdadeiros DPs, aos quais iremos nos referir como sintagmas argumentais, e o grupo a que iremos nos referir como típicos adjuntos adnominais. Conforme iremos mostrar ao longo desta tese, enquanto que os sintagmas do primeiro grupo são licenciados em posições argumentais, o segundo grupo é licenciado em configuração de adjunção. No que concerne às restrições impostas para a extração dos de-phrases, iremos propor que as restrições a serem verificadas podem ser capturadas unicamente pela noção da condição de Localidade, como proposto em Manzini (1994). Ainda, iremos argumentar que, no PB, os traços de concordância (pelo menos no que se refere à concordância de número) parecem estar localizados em D (MAGALHÃES, 2004; COSTA & FIGUEIREDO-SILVA, 2006) e, uma vez que D é lócus de número no PB, esta categoria licencia genitivos em relação a Caso, idéia já presente em Avelar (2006). Em termos de estrutura do DP, outro ponto crucial da análise é a proposta de projeção de uma categoria funcional acima da projeção DP, a qual denominaremos FP, nos moldes em que TopP é uma categoria proposta em Haegeman (2004) no domínio nominal. Conforme iremos discutir, a posição [Spec, FP] é a posição de válvula de escape para de-phrases no PB e não a posição [Spec, DP], esta última, uma posição A, relacionada a propriedades de Caso (genitivo). No que tange ao fenômeno da adjunção dentro de sintagmas de determinante, iremos assumir a proposta de Hornstein & Nunes (2008) de que a adjunção é uma operação que ocorre sem rotulação obrigatória, seguindo a proposta de adjunção de de-phrases no sintagma nominal como apresentada em Avelar (2006), para o PB. A diferença em relação à proposta de Avelar é a de que em vez de serem licenciados na periferia da construção nominal, os típicos adjuntos adnominais são gerados abaixo da projeção DP, o que explica a resistência desses constituintes para extração.

Full textAbstract:
The evolution of the genitive noun phrase in English has been the subject of numerous studies, yet some aspects of this evolution have received less attention than others. In this study I address two of these less studied aspects: the evolution of the plural genitive noun phrase in Middle English (1150-1500), and the decline of the overtly case-marked genitive modifiers (singular and plural) in the same period. The former has generally been presented as following the same path of the singular genitive noun phrase; the latter has been all but ignored, with only a single study (Thomas 1931) which explicitly examines the use of the genitive definite article and strong adjective. The study uses text samples from two electronic corpora, the Linguistic Atlas of Early Middle English and the Penn-Helsinki Parsed Corpus of Middle English, Second Edition, as well as samples from printed editions. The texts used in the present study have been selected with the aim of covering as wide a geographical and chronological range as possible. The thesis examines how and why the number of endings for the genitive plural inflection first increased (in the period up to about 1350) and then decreased (from 1350 onward), a fluctuation not found in the singular inflected genitive noun. The number of available inflectional endings increased due to the morphophonological weaknesses of the -V ending type – the dominant ending type inherited from OE – leading to instabilities in the inflectional system which allowed alternatives to arise. However, the number of genitive plural inflectional endings then decreased, apparently affected not only by the phonological strength/weakness of the ending types but also the type of noun phrase that these were associated with. The inflectional ending which survives, -Vs, is most commonly found with genitive noun phrases in which the genitive noun is animate and the noun phrase has one of the genitive functions labelled POSSESSIVE in this study. This distribution of the various inflectional endings according to animacy and function is related to the rise of the periphrastic genitive plural noun phrase. The initial preferred environment for the periphrastic genitive construction is noun phrases with those functions which will be referred to as NONPOSSESSIVE. As the inflected genitive becomes increasingly restricted to a single noun phrase type, the periphrastic construction expands, to become the default genitive construction by the end of the period. The thesis examines the decline of overtly case-marked genitive modifiers in Middle English, both adjective and determiners. In general, the trend is that morphologically more conservative texts are more likely to preserve case-marked modifier forms, although some marked forms are more widespread due to the development of fixed expressions. Where case-marked modifiers are maintained, historical grammatical gender agreement and the strong/weak adjective distinction are often preserved. Factors which play a role in the survival of marked modifiers are chronological distribution, impact of Old English exemplars, and the development of certain fixed expressions with the adjectives. Thomas (1931) considered the loss of case-marked definite articles and strong adjectives to be the principal factor in the shift from inflected to periphrastic genitive constructions, but the evidence from the present study shows that this is not the case for all texts.

Full textAbstract:
Uppsatsen beskriver dialektala genitivuttryck omskrivna med prepositionen åt i nio svenska landskap. Syftet är att analysera sådana konstruktioner och se hur den geografiska distributionen ser ut. Materialet består främst av samlingarna till Ordbok över Sveriges dialekter. Excerperade belägg har analyserats och ur resultatet av analysen kunde två mönster urskiljas. Det ena bestod enbart av släktskaps- och vänskapsgenitiv. I det andra, däremot, hittades belagda former med såväl släktskaps-och vänskapsgenitiv som possessionsgenitiv. I angränsande delar av Norge har belägg påträffats med sådana konstruktioner, vilket kan förklara det sistnämnda mönstret. Det framkom att de vanligaste kombinationerna för dessa genitivuttryck utgjordes av personbetecknande appellativ som kärnled och egennamn som rektion i attributet. I Värmland återfanns en konstruktion med ett egennamn i både kärnled och attribut. Denna konstruktion har inte kunnat påträffas i de övriga landskapen. Rektionen bestod främst av ett- och tvåordsuttryck. Prepositionen åt uttrycker främst relationer; om en dialekt har possessionsgenitiv har den även släktskaps- och vänskapsgenitiv.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis I examine the placement of the dependent genitive relative to its head noun in Classical Latin prose. The corpus is drawn from the works of four first-century B.C. authors: Caesar, Cicero, Sallust and Varro. The thesis itself is split into two main sections, a qualitative analysis and a quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis discusses a number of factors that may influence genitive position, drawn from literature on the subject as well as my pilot studies. These factors are information structure, the genitive’s grammatical function, discontinuity, lexical category, animacy, prepositions governing the head noun, reported speech, idioms, lexical items, and grammatical number of the genitive. This analysis examines individual instances of genitive position in context, providing examples and counter-examples of the ordering patterns found with each potential factor. The qualitative analysis suggests that a number of these factors have an effect on genitive position, particularly information structure. These results are tested by the quantitative analysis. By performing a multivariate statistical analysis using the programme GoldVarb, the combined effects of multiple factors are determined and the statistically significant factors ranked in order of importance and strength of effect. The statistics show that information structure is the most important of the factors. Other significant influences are the presence of prepositions, the function of the genitive and its lexical category. By combining the two types of analysis, qualitative and quantitative, this thesis shows in detail how the factors combine to influence word order, which of them are independent, which interact, which are important and which have little to no effect at all, resulting in a better understanding of the data and the way that the contextual factors work together to produce the variant orders of the dependent genitive.

Full textAbstract:
The main objective of this thesis was to examine the role of purinergic signalling in the contraction of the smooth muscle of the genito-urinary tract of laboratory animals and compare it to that of man. It also examined purinergic signalling in the maturation of sperm within the epididymis. The main methodology involved organ bath studies on the functional physiology of smooth muscle contraction, in conjunction with immunohistochemical examination of smooth muscle P2X receptor expression. In Chapter 3, a comparative study of the smooth muscle cells of the testicular capsule or tunica albuginea of the testis from man, mouse, rat and rabbit was made. The smooth muscle cell arrangement was demonstrated by electron microscopy, and the role of purinergic co-transmission in the contraction of this smooth muscle was investigated. Chapter 4 examined purinergic signalling in the contraction of the human vas deferens smooth muscle. P2X receptors are involved in cell-to-cell signalling. Chapter 5 was a comparative study of the expression of P2X receptors on sperm contained within the head and tail of the epididymides of mice, rats, hamsters and man. This study demonstrated changing expression with maturity. Alterations in the relative purinergic and cholinergic components of detrusor contraction have been demonstrated in the over active bladder. Chapter 6 details the partial bladder outlet obstruction model that was developed in the rat. This model demonstrated an up-regulation of the cholinergic component of detrusor contraction with no significant change in the purinergic component, which implied the rat detrusor adapts to outflow obstruction in a different manner to the human detrusor. In Chapter 7, a general discussion of the role of purinergic signalling in the genito-urinary tract is given. The extent of how well the hypothesis was tested is considered in this chapter and future directions are suggested.

Full textAbstract:
The present paper addresses a current view in the psycholinguistic literature that case exhibits processing properties distinct from those of other morphological features such as number (cf. Fodor & Inoue, 2000; Meng & Bader, 2000a/b). In a speeded-acceptability judgement experiment, we show that the low performance previously found for case in contrast to number violations is limited to nominative case, whereas violations involving accusative and dative are judged more accurately. The data thus do not support the proposal that case per se is associated with special properties (in contrast to other features such as number) in reanalysis processes. Rather, there are significant judgement differences between the object cases accusative and dative on the one hand and the subject nominative case on the other. This may be explained by the fact that nominative has a specific status in German (and many other languages) as a default case.

Full textAbstract:
After experiencing an early phase of vivid interest in the 1980s and the 1990s, the search for "universals" of translation and interpreting, i.e. general features of translated and interpreted language, seems to have slipped into a phase of stagnation in the past few years. On the one hand, it seems questionable to speak of "universal" features of translation and interpreting, since both activities are inseparable from their direction and context. On the other hand, the search for "universals" can be regarded as an attempt to universalize historically and culturally determined practices. The present study focuses on Sonja Tirkkonen-Condit's "unique items hypothesis", according to which translators tend to underrepresent target-language specific items, i.e. items that lack a straightforward (lexical or grammatical) counterpart in the source language, and to replace them with alternative items, which are not incorrect, but less idiomatic and more adherent to the structure of the source language. The present study extends the hypothesis to interpreting and sets out to test it on a possible "unique item" of the language pair Italian-English, namely the 's-genitive. To this end, the 's-genitives are extracted from four sub-corpora of the European Parliament Interpreting Corpus - EPIC (interpretations from Italian into English, original English speeches, official translations from Italian into English and official transcriptions of original English speeches). The present study compares the frequency of the 's-genitives across the four sub-corpora from a monolingual intermodal perspective, to check whether interpreted and translated English actually underrepresents 's (while overrepresenting "of", which is closer to the Italian preposition "di") and whether there are differences between interpreting and translation.

Full textAbstract:
The variation of the strong genitive marker of the singular noun has been treated by diverse accounts. Still there is a consensus that it is to a large extent systematic but can be approached appropriately only if many heterogeneous factors are taken into account. Over thirty variables influencing this variation have been proposed. However, it is actually unclear how effective they can be, and above all, how they interact. In this paper, the potential influencing variables are evaluated statistically in a machine learning approach and modelled in decision trees in order to predict the genitive marking variants. Working with decision trees based exclusively on statistically significant data enables us to determine what combination of factors is decisive in the choice of a marking variant of a given noun. Consequently the variation factors can be assessed with respect to their explanatory power for corpus data and put in a hierarchized order.

This quantitative corpus study discusses and compares the distribution of the inflected genitive (’s- or zero-genitive) with that of the of-construction in East African, Indian, American and British English using data collected from the ICE-EA, ICE-IND, Frown and FLOB corpora. This study also discusses the semantic categories of the inflected genitive in the varieties mentioned.
The first conclusion of the study is that the distribution of tokens according to semantic categories is similar in all varieties examined. Furthermore, it is concluded for the modifier classes that animateness-biased classes are more common with the inflected genitive, while inanimateness-biased classes are more common with the of-construction; this distribution is similar in all varieties.

Full textAbstract:
Teil I dieser Arbeit untersucht Effekte einer semantischen Eigenschaft von syntaktisch transitiven Prädikaten auf die Satzverarbeitung: den Grad der Affiziertheit, den solch ein Prädikat für eines seiner Argumente impliziert, also das Ausmaß in dem ein Teilnehmer eine Zustandsveränderung während des ausgedrückten Ereignisses erfährt. Drei Experimente (zu Akzeptabilitätsurteilen, Lesezeiten & ereigniskorrelierten Potentialen [EKP]) überprüften den Einfluss von Affiziertheit auf die lexikalisch-semantische Verarbeitung des Prädikats und die Integration folgender Argument-Nominalphrasen (NPn) beim Satzlesen. Um den Effekt von Affiziertheit auf Verarbeitungsprozesse beim Argumentlinking zu maximieren, machten die Experimente Gebrauch von deverbalen, eventiven, deutschen -ung-Nominalisierungen, die von Verben mit verschiedenem Affiziertheitsgrad abgeleitet sind. Hierbei wurde der Einfluss der Affiziertheit ausgenutzt, folgende Objekts- oder Subjektsgenitive als Argument zu lizensieren. Während sich keine klaren Effekte bei der Verarbeitung der Nominalisierungen ergaben, zeigten die Ergebnisse zur Integration der Genitiv-NPn eine spezifische Interaktion zwischen dem Grad der Affiziertheit und der Akzeptabilität, einen Objekts- bzw. Subjektsgenitiv zu verwirklichen. Dieser Befund wurde von übereinstimmenden Lesezeiten- und EKP-Interaktionseffekten begleitet. Die EKP-Ergebnisse legen eine zentrale Rolle von zwei späten Positivierungen bei der Integration der Genitivargumente nahe. Diese Befunde werden im Kontext theoretischer Modelle von abgestufter Affiziertheit und von Satzverarbeitungsmodellen diskutiert, mit Fokus auf der möglichen Rolle der Prototypikalität von Argumenten und Unterschieden zwischen prädikatsinduzierter und argumentinhärenter semantischer Argumentprominenz. Teil II stellt zwei Softwarepakete für die statistische Umgebung R vor, die Schnittstellen für die zur Analyse der EKP-Daten verwendeten WFMM Software (Morris & Carroll, 2006) bieten.Part I of this thesis investigates the effects of a semantic feature of syntactically transitive predicates on online sentence processing: the degree of affectedness such a predicate implies for one of its arguments, taken to indicate the extent to which an event participant undergoes a change of state during the event expressed. Three experiments (using acceptability judgements, reading times & event-related potentials [ERPs]) probed the effects of affectedness on the processing of the predicate and on the integration of following argument noun phrases (NPs), thus assessing the impact of affectedness on lexical-semantic processing and its influence on processes related to online argument linking. Maximising the effects of affectedness on linking-related processes, the experiments used German -ung nominalisations derived from verbs implying different degrees of affectedness, exploiting a paradigm involving the linking of either object or subject genitive argument NPs to deverbal, eventive nominalisations. While no clear effects of affectedness emerged for the processing of the nominalisations, results related to the integration of genitive NPs revealed a specific interaction between the degree of affectedness and the acceptability of realising either object or subject genitives. This pattern was accompanied by consistent reading time and ERP interaction effects. ERP results suggest a prominent role of two late positivities with different spatial foci in the integration of the genitive arguments. These findings are discussed in the context of theoretical models of graded affectedness and sentence processing models, considering possible roles of argument prototypicality and differences between predicate-induced and argument-inherent semantic argument prominence. Part II introduces two software packages for the statistical platform R, offering interfaces for the WFMM software (Morris & Carroll, 2006) used for the analysis of the ERP data in part I.

Full textAbstract:
The primary aim of the present study is to give a semantic/conceptual analysis to the genitive case in Old English (= OE) within a Cognitive Grammar (=CG) framework (specifically Langacker's version; Langacker 1987, 1991) and explain the diversity of its use (adnominal, adverbal, adjectival, prepositional, and adverbial), as constituting a coherent network, wherein all variants share a unified semantic structure. My analysis is partly based on Roman Jakobson's (1936/1971) study on the Russian case system, which is recast and updated within a CG framework. Pivotal to my analysis of the semantic structure of the genitive case is the notion of "deprofile", whereby an already profiled (i.e. most prominent) entity in a given predicate becomes unprofiled, to reduce the amount of attention drawn onto the designatum, making it conceptually less prominent. Specifically, the function of the genitive case in OE is to deprofile the profile of the nominal predicate to which the genitive inflection is attached. The crucial claim is that a genitive nominal is a nominal predicate, in that it still profiles a region in some domain, in accordance with the schematic characterisation of the semantic structure of a noun in CG. The nominal character of a genitive nominal means that it can occur in various syntactic contexts where any other nominal expression can occur, namely in a position for a verbal, adverbial, and prepositional complement, as well as in a modifier/complement position for a noun. This account ties in with the subsequent history of the genitive case after the end of the OE period, in which some of its uses became obsolete, especially the partitive function of adnominal genitive, and all functions of the adverbal, adjectival, prepositional genitives. The cumulative effect of this is that a genitive nominal ceased to be a nominal predicate, and its determinative character which had already existed in OE side by side with its nominal character, became grammaticalised during the ME period as a general function of a genitive nominal. Chapter l outlines the history of the genitive case from OE to early ME, to introduce the problems to be dealt with in this dissertation, particularly the diversity of the genitive functions. Reviews of some previous studies relevant to the problems are also provided. Chapter 2 and 3 introduce the framework of CG. Chapter 2 summarises some basic assumptions about grammar, and Chapter 3 focuses on how syntactic issues are dealt with in CG, based on the assumptions summarised in Chapter 2. Here I also introduce Langacker's (1991) and Taylor's (1996) account of a Present Day English possessive construction, using Langacker's reference point analysis, and examine its applicability to the OE genitive. As an alternative, the notion of deprofile will be introduced. Chapters 4 and 5 are the application to the actual examples of genitive nominals, taken from Ælfric's Catholic Homilies first series; Chapter 4 deals with adnominal genitive, and chapter 5 covers all the non-adnominal genitives. Finally, Chapter 6 discusses how the diversity of the genitive functions in OE and its subsequent history may be accounted for in the light of the findings in this study.

An analysis of the datives of "possession" and "sympathy" casts a doubt on the existence of strictly "possessive" uses: in point of fact, the genitive reveals a subordination in which the word in the genitive designates a "particular term". Comparing the genitives and ablatives of "quality" then makes it possible to identify certain classifying uses. The study of the genitives of "measurement" finally suggests to distinguish an operation of quantification and an operation of partition. A new mode of genitive classification is subsequently proposed, which is based on the referential properties of the terms under review.

Full textAbstract:
We explore the language production process by eliciting subject-verb agreement errors. Participants were asked to create complete sentences from sentence beginnings such as The elf's/elves' house with the tiny window/windows and The statue in the eirs/elves' gardens. These are subject noun phrases containing a head noun and controller of agreement (statue), and two nonheads, a "local noun" (window(s)/garden(s)), and a possessor noun (elf's/elves'). Past research has shown that a plural nonhead noun (an "attractor") within a subject noun phrase triggers the production of verb agreement errors, and further, that the nearer the attractor to the head noun, the greater the interference. This effect can be interpreted in terms of relative hierarchical distance from the head noun, or via a processing window account, which claims that during production, there is a window in which the head and modifying material may be co-active, and an attractor must be active at the same time as the head to give rise to errors. Using possessors attached at different heights within the same window, we are able to empirically distinguish these accounts. Possessors also allow us to explore two additional issues. First, case marking of local nouns has been shown to reduce agreement errors in languages with "rich" inflectional systems, and we explore whether English speakers attend to case. Secondly, formal syntactic analyses differ regarding the structural position of the possessive marker, and we distinguish them empirically with the relative magnitude of errors produced by possessors and local nouns. Our results show that, across the board, plural possessors are significantly less disruptive to the agreement process than plural local nouns. Proximity to the head noun matters: a possessor directly modifying the head noun induce a significant number of errors, but a possessor within a modifying prepositional phrase did not, though the local noun did. These findings suggest that proximity to a head noun is independent of a "processing window" effect. They also support a noun phrase-internal, case-like analysis of the structural position of the possessive ending and show that even speakers of inflectionally impoverished languages like English are sensitive to morphophonological case-like marking.

Dabei werden die Grundlagen und die Beschreibungsmechanismen der Theorie erklärt. HPSG ist ein oberflächenorientiertes, deklaratives, beschränkungsbasiertes Framework.
Im dritten Kapitel werden vier zentrale syntaktische Begriffe besprochen und diskutiert: Kopf, Argument, Adjunkt und Spezifikator. Trotz ihrer Relevanz in der linguistischen Literatur werden diese vier Relationen verschieden interpretiert. Bei der Diskussion dieser syntaktischen Hauptrelationen werden die entsprechenden HPSG Mechanismen erklärt, mit denen sie beschrieben werden, u.a. das Semantik-Prinzip und das Kopfmerkmalsprinzip.
Das vierte Kapitel der Dissertation beinhaltet Analysen für drei verschiedene Phänomene der NPs im Deutschen und Spanischen: Kasusmarkierung, optionale Argumente und pränominale Argumente. Deutsch und Spanisch unterscheiden sich in der Art und Weise, wie sie Kasus an ihren NPs markieren. Deutsch markiert sie morphologisch und Spanisch syntaktisch. Beide Arten der Markierung werden modelliert und verglichen. In Bezug auf die Optionalität von Argumenten wird zunächst die verbale Domäne betrachtet. Anhand dieser Analyse wird dann die nominale Domäne modelliert. Im letzten Teil wird eine Analyse für die pränominalen Argumente gegeben. Dabei werden folgende Aspekte betrachtet: Kombinatorik verschiedener Argumente, Theta-Rollenvergabe für die Argumente, Fakultativität der Argumente und Behandlung der (In-)Definitheit bei pränominalen Genitiven.The topic of this dissertation are noun phrases in German and Spanish. This thesis is divided into five chapters. The first chapter presents the motivation of the work, and in the last chapter a summary is presented and discussed. In the second chapter, I give an introduction into the theoretical framework, Head-Driven Phase Structure Grammar (HPSG) by explaining its fundamental mechanisms, and compare it to generative approaches. HPSG is a surface oriented, declarative, constraint-based framework. In the third chapter, four central syntactic concepts are critically discussed: head, argument, adjunct, and specifier. Although these four concepts are highly relevant in the linguistic literature, they are often interpreted differently. While discussing these fours syntactic relations, I explain the main mechanisms of HPSG to describe them, e.g. the Semantic Principle and the Head Feature Principle. The fourth chapter contains analyses for three different NP phenomena in German and Spanish: case marking, optionality of arguments, and prenominal arguments. German and Spanish differ in the way they mark case on their NPs. German case-marks NPs morphologically, while case marking in Spanish is syntactic. Both types of marking are modelled and compared. Regarding argument optionality, I first look at the verbal domain and use this analysis to model optionality in the nominal domain. The last part of this chapter gives an analysis of prenominal arguments. The following aspects are considered: combinatory of a head noun with different arguments, theta role assignment for the arguments of a nominal head, optionality of arguments and treatment of (in-)definiteness in prenominal genitives.

Full textAbstract:
Background:la stretta relazione anatomica tra il mesoretto e le strutture nervose che attraversano la pelvi comporta un rischio elevato di lesioni accidentali del plesso ipogastrico in corso di TME, di conseguenza vi è un¿altra frequenza di disfunzioni genito urinarie dopo chirurgia rettale.
La chirurgia robotica offre al chirurgo una visione tridimensionale, stabile e ad alta definizione del campo operatorio e consente un controllo molto più accurato degli strumenti che sono dotati di sette gradi di libertà, di un sistema di soppressione del tremore spontaneo e della possibilità di demoltiplicazione del movimento.
La finalità del nostro studio è stata quella di valutare l¿impatto della chirurgia robotica sulla preservazione della funzionalità genito urinaria nei pazienti sottoposti a resezione anteriore del retto.
Materiali e metodi: nel periodo compreso tra Gennaio 2007 e Dicembre 2010 nella Divisione di Chirurgia Addomino-Pelvica dell¿Istituto Europeo di Oncologia sono stati inseriti nello studio 74 pazienti consecutivi sottoposti a resezione completamente robotizzata per tumore del retto. Per analizzare la funzionalità sessuale maschile sono stati adottati i questionari IIEF (International Index of Erectile Function), per quella femminile i questionari dell¿ FSFI (Female Sexual Function Index)
Risultati: nel nostro studio non abbiamo riscontrato alcuna differenza, per entrambi I sessi, in termini di funzionalità urinaria e di QoL a un anno dall¿intervento. Per quanto riguarda la funzionalità sessuale abbiamo registrato una riduzione di tutte le variabili analizzate dai questionari a un mese dall¿intervento. A partire da sei mesi dopo la chirurgia i punteggi calcolati per ogni item sono progressivamente aumentati fino a tornare paragonabili a quelli pre-operatori.
Conclusioni: questo studio conferma che la TME nerve sparing eseguita con tecnica robotica è efficace e adeguata per il trattamento del cancro rettale e consente una migliore preservazione della funzionalità genitourinaria in comparazione con le tecniche chirurgiche classiche: open e laparoscopica.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is concerned with adult L1 attrition in the case of highly-educated long-term Polish immigrants in Sweden. The study sheds light on two classical issues pertaining to L1 attrition, namely what happens to a fully developed mature language system in an immigrant context, and why it happens. Specifically we aim to answer the following questions: (1) Are Polish speakers in Sweden different from comparable individuals in Poland with respect to (i) judgement and use of a number of Polish linguistic features (se keywords below), and (ii) hesitation phenomena, i.e. ability to be quick and easy and linguistic insecurity? (2) Is the variation in linguistic results dependent on how often and in what context the Polish language is used and/or which attitudes the individuals have towards it as well as how long they have been living in Sweden? One of the main contributions of the study regards methodology. The data is analysed in three steps: an initial focus on group comparisons shifts to the analysis of individual results in relation to the variation observed in the comparison group, and finally to a holistic view of the attrition effects or their absence. It is suggested that in studies on adult L1 attrition, where the effects are expected to be relatively cosmetic, the range of the linguistic behaviour in the comparison group as a reference point as well as a holistic perspective on individual results gives a more truthful picture of the attrition process. In addition the study shows that attrition effects are present in some individuals (60 %) to a different degree. The most common effect overall is linguistic insecurity followed by the overuse of 1st person pronouns as explicit subjects and to a lesser degree by the overuse of 3rd person pronouns. Surprisingly there is a scanty effect on the other hesitation phenomenon, i.e. the ability to be quick and easy. No or limited effects are observed in other structural areas which basically supports previous findings on L1 adult attrition. Finally, the presence versus absence of the attrition effect can not be straightforwardly related either to language use, attitudes or length of residence, with one exception being linguistic insecurity.

Full textAbstract:
Генітивні речення розглядаються як односкладні субстанційні, у яких головний член
представлений незалежною формою родового відмінка іменника, що може виражати
наявність, існування, буттєвість предмета й водночас неозначено велику, надлишкову
кількість або, навпаки, цілковиту відсутність речей. У їхній семантиці відсутні як значення
процесуальності, так і динамічної ознаки та позачасової дії, а категоріальне значення
буттєвості постає як граматичне значення констатації реальності в момент спілкування.
Розкриваються структурно-семантичні моделі й комунікативно-модальні різновиди
односкладних генітивних речень в мові друкованих ЗМІ.Genitive sentences are considered to be one-member substantive ones, in which the main part is represented by an independent form of the genitive case of the noun, which can express the occurrence, existence of the subject, and at the same time undefined large, exuberant number or, conversely, total lack of things. In their semantics there is neither value of procedurality nor dynamic characteristic or timeless action, but the categorical significance of existentialism appears as the grammatical significance of the statement of reality at the moment of communication. Structural-semantic models and communicative-modal varieties of one-member genitive sentences in the language of print media are revealed.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to analyze how post-nominal of-phrases are translated from English to Swedish in a non-fiction text about the musician Dave Grohl and his band Foo Fighters. The analysis is both quantitative and qualitative. The of-phrases are categorized according to Keizer’s (2007) categories, and the results show that most of-phrases are translated to prepositional phrases, although it differs which prepositions are used, depending on the type of ofphrase. For of-phrases of the possession-type, i is the most common preposition, and for compound-like of-phrases, av is the most common preposition. Of-phrases of possession-type are also frequently translated into genitive constructions, especially if the possessor is animate or syntactically light. Other structural changes also occur in the translation, although no pattern was found for this strategy in the analysis.
