The phonological form of constructions is often mentioned only in a side note, if at all, in CxG contributions. However, phonology plays an important role at all structural levels, including one that has hardly been acknowledged outside a phonological context: the submorphemic level. Evidence… read more

The three Continental Scandinavian languages Danish, Norwegian and Swedish are closely related and share a large pool of Interscandinavian cognates, but a variety of phonological differences between the languages can obscure the lexical similarities and make spoken Interscandinavian… read more

Although contact situations… read more
