  1. 1. Tempus och aspekt i pidginisering : En studie av sju pidginspråk och deras källspråk

    Magister-uppsats, Avdelningen för allmän språkvetenskap

    Författare :Minna Persson; [2012]
    Nyckelord :Pidgin languages; pidginisation; TMA; tense; aspect; gram; prominence; grammaticalisation;

    Sammanfattning : It has been proposed that pidgin languages are similar in their marking of tense and aspect. This study wishes to answer three questions: 1) are there similarities in the marking of tense and aspect in pidgins, 2) are there similarities between the source languages and the pidgins they result in, and 3) does the development of tense aspect marking in pidgins follow the general patterns of grammaticalisation observed in other languages.

    Nyckelord :grammaticalisation; neurolinguistics; function words; processing; motor cortex; movement priming; Languages and Literatures;
