Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Prepositions already formed a grammatical category in the Common German language. New Scandinavian pepositions were established during the preliterary and the early literary periods. In this paper it is demonstraed that most of them were grammaticalizations of prepositional phrases or adverbs linked to a noun by an established preposition. The genesis of these new prepositions is investigated semantically and phonetically, and their possible etymological origins are discussed in the light of the general patterns observed.
