2023 Indexicality across the boundaries of syntax, semantics and pragmatics: The constructional content of the Danish free indirect object Ditransitives in Germanic Languages: Synchronic and diachronic aspects, Zehentner, Eva, Melanie Röthlisberger and Timothy Colleman (eds.), pp. 150–194 | Chapter
In Danish, indirect object (IO) constructions fall into two main classes: (1) the three-argument valence-governed pattern and (2) the free indirect object construction. The free IO is a constructional extension to certain types of monotransitive constructions and verbs; by contrast, the… read more
2021 The typology of Old Norse revisited: The case of Middle Danish Historical Germanic morphosyntax, Laker, Stephen and John Ole Askedal (eds.), pp. 242–277 | Article
Typologically, the Old and Middle Scandinavian languages preserve features lost in Modern Scandinavian (Danish, Norwegian and Swedish), especially zero arguments and inactive constructions. Both phenomena present difficulties for the analysis of the Old and Middle Scandinavian languages as… read more
2020 The Malt stone as evidence for a morphological archaism: Reconstructing the Proto-Nordic and Proto-Germanic systems of kinship terms Runic Inscriptions and the Early History of the Germanic Languages, Nedoma, Robert and Hans Frede Nielsen † (eds.), pp. 4–20 | Article
The form fauþr ‘father’ on the Malt stone is normally understood as a carving error for faþur, but could very well be read at face value as a one-syllable form fǫðr, an archaic accusative singular. In a wider Proto-Germanic context, I propose that this form is part of an early levelling process… read more
2019 Word order as grammaticalised semiotic systems Perspectives on Language Structure and Language Change: Studies in honor of Henning Andersen, Heltoft, Lars, Iván Igartua, Brian D. Joseph, Kirsten Jeppesen Kragh and Lene Schøsler (eds.), pp. 151–178 | Chapter
Meillet (1921 [1912]: 147-48) briefly states that word order is grammatical and that word order change is an alternative way of grammaticalisation, a stance that has had few followers within mainstream grammaticalisation studies. In the context of Henning Andersen’s view of morphology and the… read more
2019 Perspectives on language structure and language change: An introduction Perspectives on Language Structure and Language Change: Studies in honor of Henning Andersen, Heltoft, Lars, Iván Igartua, Brian D. Joseph, Kirsten Jeppesen Kragh and Lene Schøsler (eds.), pp. 1–10 | Chapter
2015 Grammaticalisation as paradigmatisation New Directions in Grammaticalization Research, Smith, Andrew D.M., Graeme Trousdale and Richard Waltereit (eds.), pp. 261–292 | Article
By arguing that grammaticalisation inevitably involves paradigmatisation, i.e. formation of new paradigms or reformation of existing paradigms, we challenge leading approaches to grammaticalisation that consider the stages on the so-called cline of grammaticality the prototypical path of… read more
2014 Constructional change, paradigmatic structure and the orientation of usage processes Usage-Based Approaches to Language Change, Coussé, Evie and Ferdinand von Mengden (eds.), pp. 203–242 | Article
This article presents a model analysis of the interplay between structure and usage in the semantic change of constructions, with a focus on the role of content structure in the sense of paradigmatically organised semantic structure. The case at hand is the development of the Danish indirect object… read more

The present article is an attempt to construct a scenario for the typological change of the subject in the Scandinavian languages, Danish, Norwegian and Swedish, from nominative subjects to categorical subjects. This change must and will be seen in the context of the rise of the so-called… read more
