For some years I have been working on grammaticalization processes (prepositions, auxiliaries, pronouns), mostly during the early literary period. At present I am studying the birth and development of the grammatical category of conjunctions (as different from subjunctions). In two recent publications I have discussed the relation between dialects asnd standard language in early modern time and the use of Swedish as a language of science (instead of Latin) in the 18th century.
