Book Synopsis Word Order Change in Icelandic by : Thorbjörg Hróarsdóttir
Download or read book Word Order Change in Icelandic written by Thorbjörg Hróarsdóttir and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2001-01-23 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While Modern Icelandic exhibits a virtually uniform VO order in the VP, Old(er) Icelandic had both VO order and OV order, as well as ‘mixed’ word order patterns. In this volume, the author both examines the various VP-word order patterns from a descriptive and statistical point of view and provides a synchronic and diachronic analysis of VP-syntax in Old(er) Icelandic in terms of generative grammar. Her account makes use of a number of independently motivated ideas, notably remnant-movement of various kinds of predicative phrase, and the long movement associated with “restructuring” phenomena, to provide an analysis of OV orders and, correspondingly, a proposal as to which aspect of Icelandic syntax must have changed when VO word order became the norm: the essential change is loss of VP-extraction from VP. Although this idea is mainly supported here for Icelandic, it has numerous implications for the synchronic and diachronic analysis of other Germanic languages.

Book Synopsis Studies in the Phonology and Morphology of Modern Icelandic by : Janez Orešnik
Download or read book Studies in the Phonology and Morphology of Modern Icelandic written by Janez Orešnik and published by Helmut Buske Verlag. This book was released on 1985 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This selection of twelve essays on modern Icelandic by Professor Janez Oresnik is published with the aim of making his pioneer work known to wider circles of linguists than those working only with modern Icelandic. With an unusually fine touch Professor Oresnik has opened a new page in the study of modern Icelandic by investigating some of the phonetic/phonological processes which are alive in daily speech. The selection includes his excellent articles on i- and u-umlaut, on the Epenthesis Rule, and on the devoicing rules.
Book Synopsis The Syntax of Icelandic by : Höskuldur Thráinsson
Download or read book The Syntax of Icelandic written by Höskuldur Thráinsson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-10-18 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Icelandic is a syntactically interesting language, with aspects of its word order, clause structure, agreement patterns and case system arousing much theoretical interest and debate in recent years. This is an informative and accessible guide to the structure of Icelandic, focusing in particular on those characteristics that have contributed greatly to syntactic research. Each chapter is divided into two main sections - providing both a descriptive overview and a discussion of the theoretical and comparative issues involved - and a wide range of topics are covered, including case, agreement, grammatical relations, thematic roles, word order, clause structure, fronting, extraposition, complement, adjuncts, pronouns, and inflection. Also explored in detail are the similarities and differences between Icelandic and other related languages. Presupposing only a basic knowledge of syntax and complete with an extensive bibliography, this comprehensive survey will be an important tool for all those working on the structure of Scandinavian and Germanic languages.
Book Synopsis North American Icelandic by : Birna Arnbjornsdottir
Download or read book North American Icelandic written by Birna Arnbjornsdottir and published by Univ. of Manitoba Press. This book was released on 2006-12-15 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North American Icelandic evolved mainly in Icelandic settlements in Manitoba and North Dakota and is the only version of Icelandic that is not spoken in Iceland. But North American Icelandic is a dying language with few left who speak it.North American Icelandic is the only book about the nature and development of this variety of Icelandic. It details the social and linguistic constraints of one specific feature of North American Icelandic phonology undergoing change, namely Flámæli, which is the merger of two sets of front vowels. Although Flámæli was once a part of traditional Icelandic, it was considered too confusing and was systematically eradicated from the language. But in North America, Flámæli use spread unchecked, allowing the rare opportunity of viewing the evolution of a dialect from its birth to its impending demise.

Book Synopsis Icelandic Morphosyntax and Argument Structure by : Jim Wood
Download or read book Icelandic Morphosyntax and Argument Structure written by Jim Wood and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-01-05 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a detailed study of Icelandic argument structure alternations within a syntactic theory of argument structure. Building on recent theorizing within the Minimalist Program and Distributed Morphology, the author proposes that much of what is traditionally attributed to syntax should be relegated to the interfaces, and adapts the late insertion theory of morphology to semantics. The resulting system forms sound-meaning pairs by generating hierarchical structures that can be translated into morphological representations, on the one hand, and semantic representations, on the other. The syntactic primitives, however, underdetermine both morphophonology and semantics. Without appealing to special stipulations, the theory derives constraints on the external argument of causative-alternation verbs, interpretive restrictions on nominative objects, and the optionally agentive interpretation of verbs denoting self-directed motion.

Book Synopsis Language Technology for Cultural Heritage by : Caroline Sporleder
Download or read book Language Technology for Cultural Heritage written by Caroline Sporleder and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-07-07 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The digital age has had a profound effect on our cultural heritage and the academic research that studies it. Staggering amounts of objects, many of them of a textual nature, are being digitised to make them more readily accessible to both experts and laypersons. Besides a vast potential for more effective and efficient preservation, management, and presentation, digitisation offers opportunities to work with cultural heritage data in ways that were never feasible or even imagined. To explore and exploit these possibilities, an interdisciplinary approach is needed, bringing together experts from cultural heritage, the social sciences and humanities on the one hand, and information technology on the other. Due to a prevalence of textual data in these domains, language technology has a crucial role to play in this endeavour. Language technology can break through the "Google barrier" by offering the potential to analyse texts at advanced levels, extracting information and knowledge at the level of the humanities or social sciences researcher, who wants to know about the who, what, where, and when, but also the how and the why. At the same time cultural heritage data poses considerable challenges for existing language technology: technology aimed at "generic" language has to face such disparate problems as historical language variation, OCR digitisation errors, and near-extinct academic expertise. This book is primarily intended for researchers in information technology and language processing who would like to receive a state-of-the-art overview of the whole breadth of the new and vibrant field of language technology for cultural heritage and its associated academic research in the humanities and social sciences. Researchers working in the target domains of cultural heritage, the social sciences and humanities will also find this book useful, as it provides an overview of how language technology can help them with their information needs. The book covers applications ranging from pre-processing and data cleaning, to the adaptation and compilation of linguistic resources, to personalisation, narrative analysis, visualisation and retrieval.
