Abstract:

This book is an account of the variation between two possessive
constructions in Danish and Swedish: the s-genitive (husets tak ‘the
house’s roof’), and the prepositional construction (taket på huset
‘the roof of the house’). Present-day corpus data, as well as
historical data (texts from 1250–1550) are explored. Through
statistical and qualitative analysis, various factors that influence
the choice between the two constructions are identified. The book
offers new data on the genitive variation in Danish and Swedish. The
approach is also novel as two closely related Scandinavian languages
are compared from both a historical and a contemporary perspective.

Linguistic Field(s): Morphology

Subject Language(s): Danish (dan)
                     Swedish (swe)
