This book explores the syntactic structures of Mainland
Scandinavian, a term that covers the Northern Germanic languages
spoken in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and parts of Finland. The
continuum of mutually intelligible standard languages, regional
varieties, and dialects stretching from southern Jutland to eastern
Finland share many syntactic patterns and features, but also
present interesting syntactic differences. In this volume, Jan
Terje Faarlund discusses the main syntactic features of the
national languages, alongside the most widespread or typologically
interesting features of the non-standard varieties. Each topic is
illustrated with examples drawn from reference grammars, research
literature, corpora of various sorts, and the author's own
research. The framework is current generative grammar, but the
volume is descriptive in nature, with technical formalities and
theoretical discussion kept to a minimum. It will hence be a
valuable reference for students and researchers working on any
Scandinavian language, as well as for syntacticians and typologists
interested in Scandinavian facts and data without necessarily being
able to read Scandinavian.
