Abstract:

This book aims to explain the syntax and semantics of Norwegian verb
particles. While particles have been claimed to be distributed optionally to
the left (as LPrt) or right (as RPrt) of an associated DP in the linguistic
literature, the dialectologically oriented literature has shown for a long
time that many Norwegian particles are preferred as LPrt (corresponding to
English ‘throw out the dog’). While spatial particles can appear in both
positions, non-spatial particles primarily appear as LPrt. A complex predicate
analysis is adopted for non-spatial particles, and a small clause analysis for
spatial particles. It is argued that a non-spatial LPrt construction triggers
an atelic reading, and the RPrt counterpart identifies a result state.

The book combines traditional dialectology with modern linguistic theories and
includes much Norwegian data that has not been shed theoretical light on
before: simplex and complex spatial and non-spatial constructions, phrasal
particles, ground promotion, and unaccusatives. Several earlier theoretical
accounts of Norwegian particles are reviewed in a separate chapter.
