Åke Sandströms doktoravhandling sedd i eit vitskapleg sjangerperspektiv1 Av Gunnstein Akselberg 1. Innleiing Åke Sandström har i fleire år arbeidd med å etablera eit bilete av den mari- tim-historiske overgangen frå padling til roing i Norden. Med doktorav- handlinga si, ein monografi, frå 2015 har han nådd målet. Sandström skriv innom det vi kunne kalla eit tradisjonelt historisk-filo- logisk paradigme med omsyn til for eksempel avhandlingsform, metode, dataetablering og analyse. Denne typen avhandlingsprosjekt er no på veg ut av humaniora, der den har stått sterkt i generasjonar. Vi har no fått andre avhandlingstypar og nye krav til teorigrunnlag, me- todeval, korpusetablering, analyseformer og generaliseringar enn dei som særkjenner den tradisjonelle historisk-filologiske forskinga. Dei nye forsk- ingskrava i humaniora er hovudsakleg knytte til phd-prosjekt og utviklinga av forskarutdanning, forskarutdanningsprogram og forskarskular, der av- handlingar skal produserast innom avgrensa definerte tidsrom. I denne artikkelen vil eg jamføra nokre særtrekk ved den tradisjonelle his- torisk-filologiske avhandlingsjangeren – med utgangspunkt i Sandström si avhandling – med nokre sentrale krav til moderne phd-avhandlingar, for å setja i fokus desse to forskingstradisjonane innom humaniora sitt potensiale til å framskaffa kunnskapar og innsikter om mennesket som kulturskapar og kulturberar. Eg byggjer nok mykje på stoda innom språkvitskapen, men mange av problemstillingane er allmenne for tilhøva innom humanioraforskinga som heilskap. 1 Åke Sandström, 2015: Hå och hamna. Ordhistoriska och ordgeografiska studier av paddling- ens och roddens äldsta terminologi i Norden. Uppsala. (Acta Academiae Regiae Gustavi Adolphi 135. Studier till en svensk dialektgeografisk atlas 8.) – Artikelförfattaren fungerade som fakultetsopponent vid disputationen. 8 Gunnstein Akselberg Ei avhandling i form av ein monografi reflekterer viktige kjenneteikn ved dei tradisjonelle disiplinane i humaniora. Kandidaten må ha ei omfat- tande oversikt for å kunna sjå dei store samanhengane og dei lange linene i faget. Kandidaten må også sjå sitt eige vitskaplege arbeid i eit overordna historisk perspektiv. Dette er eit særtrekk ved den humanistiske tradisjo- nen og det har bidrege til at monografisjangeren har vore den mest nytta innom humaniora. Den tradisjonelle avhandlinga er no på veg ut av humaniora av di den høver verken i omfang, metode eller tid med dei krava som vert sette til eit skolert phd-studium. Dette vil kunna føra til tap av viktige kunnskapar og innsikter av di dei nye phd-prosjekta ikkje fangar opp den typen forskings- spørsmål som den tradisjonelle humanioraforskinga har tatt seg av. Humaniora er på mange område inne i ei omstilling, også når det gjeld forsking og vitskapleg arbeid. Forskingsideal og forskingstradisjonar frå til dømes naturvitskapen og medisinen får større

  • NOT YET-Constructions in the Swedish Skellefteå Dialect
    NOT YET-Constructions in the Swedish Skellefteå Dialect Jill Zachrisson Department of Linguistics Independent Project for the Degree of Bachelor 15 HEC General Linguistics Spring term 2020 Supervisor: Ljuba Veselinova Examiner: Mats Wirén Swedish Title: Inte än-konstruktioner i Skelleftemålet Project affiliation: Expectations shaping grammar: searching for the link between tense-aspect and negation, a research project supported by the Swedish Research Council (Grant nr 2016-01045) NOT YET-Constructions in the Swedish Skellefteå Dialect Abstract Expressions such as not yet, already, still and no longer belong to a category called Phasal Polarity (Phasal Polarity), and express phase, polarity and speaker expectations. In European languages, these often appear as phasal adverbs. However, in the Skellefteå dialect, spoken in northern Sweden, another type of construction is also used to express not yet. The construction consists of the auxiliary hɶ ‘have’ together with the supine form of the lexical verb prefixed by the negative prefix o-, for example I hɶ oskrive breve ‘I haven’t written the letter yet’. I will refer to this construction as the o-construction. Constructions meaning not yet have lately been referred to as nondum (from Latin nondum 'not yet') (Veselinova & Devos, forthcoming) and appear to be widely used in grammaticalized forms in, for example, Austronesian- and Bantu languages. The o-construction in the Skellefteå dialect is only mentioned but has no detailed documentation in existing descriptions. The aim of this study is to collect data and analyze the use of this construction. Data were collected through interaction with speakers of the Skellefteå dialect, using questionnaires and direct elicitation.

  • A Tale of Two Cities (And One Vowel): Sociolinguistic Variation in Swedish
    Language Variation and Change, 28 (2016), 225–247. © Cambridge University Press, 2016 0954-3945/16 doi:10.1017/S0954394516000065 A tale of two cities (and one vowel): Sociolinguistic variation in Swedish J OHAN G ROSS University of Gothenburg S ALLY B OYD University of Gothenburg T HERESE L EINONEN University of Turku J AMES A. WALKER York University (Toronto) ABSTRACT Previous studies of language contact in multilingual urban neighborhoods in Europe claim the emergence of new varieties spoken by immigrant-background youth. This paper examines the sociolinguistic conditioning of variation in allophones of Swedish /ɛ:/ of young people of immigrant and nonimmigrant background in Stockholm and Gothenburg. Although speaker background and sex condition the variation, their effects differ in each city. In Stockholm there are no significant social differences and the allophonic difference appears to have been neutralized. Gothenburg speakers are divided into three groups, based on speaker origin and sex, each of which orients toward different norms. Our conclusions appeal to dialectal diffusion and the desire to mark ethnic identity in a diverse sociolinguistic context. These results demonstrate that not only language contact but also dialect change should be considered together when investigating language variation in modern-day cities. Contact between different languages and between different varieties of the same language are both at work in modern-day cities, which are characterized not only by high degrees of international migration but also by intranational mobility. The data used in this study were collected as part of the SUF project, which was funded by the Svenska Riksbankens Jubileumsfond (the Swedish Foundation for Humanities and Social Sciences).

  • The Realisation of Sj- and Tj-Sounds in Estonian Swedish: Some Preliminary Results
    Proceedings of Fonetik 2015, Lund University, Sweden The realisation of sj- and tj-sounds in Estonian Swedish: some preliminary results Eva Liina Asu1, Otto Ewald2 and Susanne Schötz3 1Institute of Estonian and General Linguistics, University of Tartu 2Centre for Languages and Literature, Lund University 3Department of Logopedics, Phoniatrics and Audiology, Lund University Abstract The aim of the present study is to cast some light on the realisation of sj- and tj- sounds (/ɧ/ and /ɕ/) in Estonian Swedish. These sounds are said not to occur in this variety of Swedish, or to have a different realisation as compared to Standard Swedish (Lagman, 1979). Our analysis, based on repetitions of elicited words produced by five elderly speakers of Estonian Swedish, shows that sj- and tj-sounds are mainly pronounced the way they are spelt (e.g. tjock [tjɔkː] (thick, fat) or stjärna [stjɑːɳ] (star)). There appears, however, some variation in the realisation of the sj-sound, which depending on the word and position in the word can also be pronounced as a retroflex fricative [ʂ] or a palatal fricative [ç]or [ɕ]. Introduction suggests that the Estonian Swedish sj-sound is realised differently from Standard Swedish. This study presents a small-scale investigation For the Swedish sj-sound, which has over 30 of sj- and tj-sounds in Estonian Swedish – a different spellings (Garlén, 1988), two main highly endangered variety of Swedish that until variants are distinguished: [ɧ] (or [ɧf]) and [ʂ] WWII was spoken on the islands and North- (or [ʃ]) which are respectively referred to as Western coastal areas of Estonia, but is currently ‘dark’ (the dorsal velar variant, commonly used surviving only in the speech of a community of in the Southern Standard Swedish), and ‘light’ elderly emigrants to Sweden, and a handful of (the predorsal apical variant, used mainly in the speakers in Estonia.

  • Aggregate Analysis of Vowel Pronunciation in Swedish Dialects
    J. B. Johannessen (ed.), Language Variation Infrastructure, Oslo Studies in Language 3(2), 2011. 75–95. (ISSN 1890-9639) http://www.journals.uio.no/osla aggregate analysis of vowel pronunciation in swedish dialects THERESELEINONEN Society of Swedish Literature in Finland abstract In this paper an aggregate analysis of vowel pronunciation in Swedish di- alects is proposed by means of multidimensional scaling (MDS). The Gap statistic showed that no statistically significant partitioning of Swedish di- alects can be made based on vowel pronunciation, which means that the di- alects form a true linguistic continuum. Vowels recorded by 1,170 speakers at 98 sites were analyzed acoustically with principal components of Bark- filtered spectra, and the linguistic distances between varieties were com- puted as the Euclidean distance of the acoustic variables. The MDS analyses showed that the dialect areas that can be detected based on vowel pronun- ciation in modern rural varieties of Swedish largely correspond to the tra- ditional Swedish dialect division and divisions of regional varieties of Stan- dard Swedish. The results also show a large-scale ongoing dialect leveling. The change is largest in many central parts of the language area close to the biggest cities, while the dialects in more peripheral areas are relatively stable. [1] introduction The Swedish dialects have gone through massive leveling in the latter half of the 20th century (Hallberg 2005; Thelander 2005). Due to a societal change from rural societies to urban life style, including migrations from the countryside to towns and cities, traditional rural dialects have disappeared in many parts of the lan- guage area and been replaced by (regional varieties of) Standard Swedish.

  • Standardisation and Standard Language in Sweden
    Standardisation and Standard Language in Sweden Mats Thelander University of Uppsala, Sweden The Swedish language has a long and varied history of standardisation. More detailed surveys of the subject have been provided, in particular by Gun Widmark (1992) and Ulf Teleman (2003), and my background sketch will build to a large extent on their accounts. Other themes that will be considered in this brief overview are competing ideologies surrounding standardi- sation and the relationship of the media and the language of young people to Standard Swed- ish. THE WRITTEN STANDARD Like Danish and Norwegian, Swedish came into being in a North Germanic dialect continuum where, to begin with, there were neither linguistic nor national boundaries. The first surviving evidence of a distinct (but far from uniform) Swedish language is provided by Viking Age runic inscriptions from the 9th century AD onwards. Early traces of dialect divisions within Swedish are to be found, for example, between the tribes of the svear, or Swedes (in the prov- inces around present-day Stockholm and to the north) and the götar, or Geats (to the south and west of that region). Situated within the götamål dialect area was Vadstena (some 250 km south of Stockholm), which, with its abbey, became an important centre in the late Middle Ages for the production of texts and hence for the standardisation of written Swedish. Here, in the 14th and 15th centuries, religious texts were translated and copied on an almost industrial scale (cf. Wollin 2005). By the time the first Bible translation appeared in the early part of the 16th century (when it could also be distributed in print), Stockholm had long been the undis- puted religious and political centre of the country.
