Nouns on Fire in Mainland Scandinavian Nouns on fire in Mainland Scandinavian A lexico-typological study of selected nouns referring to FIRE in Danish, Norwegian (Bokmål) and Swedish Carolina Lindmark Department of Linguistics Independent Project for the Degree of Master 30 HEC Master’s program in language sciences – specialization in typology and linguistic diversity Autumn term 2017 Supervisor: Maria Koptjevskaja-Tamm Expert reviewer: Henrik Liljegren Examiner: Bernhard Wälchli Nouns on fire in Mainland Scandinavian A lexico-typological study of selected nouns referring to FIRE in Danish, Norwegian (bokmål) and Swedish Carolina Lindmark Abstract The current study investigates the use of a selected group of nouns in the domain of FIRE in written Mainland Scandinavian languages, i.e. Danish, Norwegian (bokmål) and Swedish. The main goal is to capture the semantic features of the nouns by examining typical situations where they occur, following the frame-method for lexical studies by Rakhilina & Reznikova (2016). The nouns are examined in terms of their combinatorial patterning in compounds with other nouns, in trigrams and in figurative use. The synchronic data is drawn from corpora, lexica and first speaker intuition. Four parameters are formulated, which seem to play a role in the lexical use among the fire words, in the three languages. The nouns are structured according to the parameters and each lexeme displays combinatorial pattern revealing semantic restrictions. The selected ‘fire nouns’ are fairly similar, but differ in terms of semantic load most prominently among the lexemes that refer to controllable fires. The lexemes relevant for the parameter of ‘subcomponents of fire processes’ display an asymmetry, which needs to be studied further. The scope of the current study also includes two lexemes in Swedish that semantically have not been possible to disentangle. On the whole, at least the controllability of the fire is lexically encoded, possibly because that property is crucial for survival. Keywords Typology, semantics, lexical typology, lexical frames, fire, nouns, compounds, parameters Fatta eld i fastlandsskandinaviska språk En lexikal-typologisk undersökning av utvalda substantiv som refererar till ELD på danska, norska (bokmål) och svenska Carolina Lindmark Sammanfattning Denna studie är en deskriptiv undersökning av en grupp substantiv inom ELD-domänen i fastlandsskandinaviska språk: danska, norska (bokmål) och svenska. Syftet är att beskriva substantivens semantiska drag genom att studera typiska situationer där de förekommer, i linje med den så kallade ”frame-metoden” som utarbetats av Rakhilina & Reznikova (2016) särskilt ämnad för lexikala studier. Substantiven undersöks utifrån hur de kan kombineras i sammansättningar med andra substantiv, i trigram och i figurativa användningar. Den synkrona datan hämtas från korpusar, lexikon och förstaspråkstalares intuition. De fyra parametrar som formuleras verkar ha relevans för de lexikala användningarna av de olika ”eld-orden” i de tre språken. Orden är strukturerade efter parametrarna och varje lexem har ett eget mönster för kombinationer i sammansättningar sina egna mönster, vilket visar på deras semantiska restriktioner. De utvalda orden är semantiskt relativt lika varandra och de olikheter som observeras framgår tydligast bland orden som refererar till någon slags kontrollerbar eld. De ord som kan beskrivas med parametern ”delkomponent av eldar som processer” uppvisar en asymmetri som behöver utforskas vidare. I urvalet finns även två svenska lexem som semantiskt sett inte har gått att skilja åt i denna uppsats. Generellt verkar åtminstone eldens kontrollerbarhet vara lexikalt kodad, antagligen eftersom den är livsviktig för vår överlevnad.

  • Major High-Rise Fires
    Major High-rise Fires 1970 — 1 New York Plaza is a 50-story skyscraper in New York City that suffered a severe fire and explosion on August 5, 1970. The fire started around 6:00 PM on the 33rd and 34th floors and burned for more than six hours. It caused shear connections to fail and beams to drop onto girder flanges, resulting th in a partial collapse of the 34 floor. The rest of the steel structure remained standing. See http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/analysis/compare/fires.html and https://www.wpi.edu/Pubs/ETD/Available/etd-050406- 105306/unrestricted/rnacewicz.pdf 1975 — World Trade Center North Tower, otherwise known as WTC 1, was still a 110-story skyscraper when its 11th floor suffered a fire from an unknown cause on February 13, 1975. The fire started shortly before midnight in a furnished office on the 11th floor and spread through some 65% of the floor (the core plus half the office area). By the time firefighters arrived, flames were also spreading vertically via telephone cable openings in the floor slab, causing subsidiary fires from the 9th to the 19th floors. The fire lasted more than three hours and did an estimated $2 million worth of damage. Cleaning and service personnel were evacuated without any fatalities. However, of the 150 firefighters at the scene, 28 sustained injuries from the intense heat and smoke. According to Captain Harold Kull of Engine Co. 6, "It was like fighting a blow torch. Flames could be seen pouring out of 11th floor windows on the east side of the building." The structural steel trusses, undamaged, did not need to be replaced.

One question that needs to be asked, however, is whether it is feasible and desirable to completely evacuate the high-rise building in fires. This research seeks to remedy this problem by proposing one or more efficient egress plan(s) for high-rise buildings. Investigation into a number of Dutch projects, international fire codes and state-of-the-art literature laid the foundation for this study. Four egress plans have been presented from a worldwide perspective for a specific certain building: Koningin Julianaplein in The Hague, the Netherlands.
