Download or read book The Acquisition of Swedish Grammar written by Gunlög Josefsson and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2004-05-28 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a number of studies of different aspects of Swedish child language. Some of the thematic chapters present original, unpublished data: on the acquisition of tense, on the range and frequency of different word order patterns in early child Swedish, related to the input, meaning the language of adults talking to the children or in the presence of the children. The remaining chapters present overviews of previous research: on the acquisition of word formation rules, the noun phrase, and wh-questions. The introduction to this volume contains a concise overview of the basic features of Swedish grammar and a comprehensive overview of different Swedish child language corpora. The main body of research proceeds within a generative framework, but the text is designed to be accessible to researchers of different theoretical paradigms.

Download or read book Swedish written by Gladys Hird and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1980-03-13 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This grammar-reader is based on almost twenty years' experience of teaching beginners the Swedish language and is reassuringly practical in approach. Miss Hird's aims are threefold: to provide a compromise between the traditional grammar-readers and the new textbooks which are not designed for beginners outside Sweden; to supply grammatical information and exercises and reading texts together for ease of reference; and to stimulate the student's interest in Swedish life, institutions and culture. The grammar part of the book is in seventeen lessons, each comprising a text in Swedish which Miss Hird has specially composed to include useful vocabulary and graded grammatical points upon which exercises (including translation exercises) are set for practice. The central theme of the texts is Stockholm, and attractive drawings illustrate it. To help the student, there is a full vocabulary list covering all the lessons, a brief summary of Swedish grammar, a glossary of grammatical terms, a check list of irregular verbs and a comprehensive index of the grammatical points covered in the book. In the reader part of the book, the texts chosen range from a short play by Strindberg to a sketch by Stig Claesson, one of Sweden's most popular contemporary authors. Each text is preceded by a short biographical and literary introduction and is followed by questions designed to test the student's comprehension and to stimulate his appreciation.

Download or read book A Brief Swedish Grammar written by Edw; J. Vickner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief Swedish Grammar The cause and aim of this book is to present in a clear and concise way the commonplace facts and principles of the Swedish language. It lays no claim to be a compendium of all forms and usages of either the spoken or written language. The introduction of Swedish into numerous high schools and universities in this country has created a demand for a book which may not only assist the exclusively English-speaking students to attain a fair reading and speaking knowledge of modern Swedish but which may also meet the demand of American born students of Swedish descent who desire to gain a more complete knowledge of the language of their fathers. The consideration that the majority of the students who mil use his book are already more or less conversant with Swedish has led the author to make the lessons longer and the exercises rather more advanced than is the case in most beginners' books, to make the vocabularies unusually voluminous, and to devote considerable attention to idiomatic expressions. The exercises have been made continuous wherever it was found practicable to do so; and it is to be hoped that this form of exercise will prove more interesting and less irksome to the student than the form that consists of detached sentences. The fact that each lesson thus contains words which are associated with one another in common use will undoubtedly encourage an acquisition of connected phrases rather than mere words.

Download or read book The Influence of Crosslinguistic Semantic and Input Factors on the Acquisition of English Phrasal Verbs written by Kaj Sjöholm and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study investigated certain mechanisms underlying the acquisition of phrasal verbs in English as a Second Language. Subjects were native Finnish- and Swedish-speaking students in Finland, most aged 16-25 years. The subjects were administered a multiple-choice test with each item containing two correct alternatives, a phrasal verb (preferred by native speakers) and a synonymous one-part verb, and two distractors. Results show that both language groups tended to avoid or under-use English phrasal verbs, but Finns significantly more than Swedes in early stages of learning. The choice pattern among Swedes also reflected a native language pattern. It is argued that both these patterns are indirectly due to first-language influence, but also to the semantic properties of the phrasal and one-part verbs. The data also indicate that the difference in choice pattern found here between Swedes and Finns was evened out with learners who had received considerable natural language input, and that these subjects also showed the most native-like performance in English. Contains 23 tables, 20 figures, and 310 references. (Author/MSE)
