Elin Gunleifsen: Attributive uttrykk for prototypisk possessivitet: En komparativ studie av talespråklig variasjon og endring i Kristiansand og Arendal

Sammendrag

This book is based on Elin Gunleifsen's PhD dissertation and it focuses on the study of prototypical attributive possessive constructions in two spoken dialects among young people in two parts of the Agder region in Norway: Kristiansand and Arendal. As the book is subtitled "En komparativ studie av talespråklig variasjon og endring i Kristiansand og Arendal", the study investigates possessive constructions from an interdisciplinary perspective including grammatical, dialectological, and sociolinguistic viewpoints. The book consists of nine chapters, a summary in English, references and an appendix that contains examples of questionnaires and tables that summarize the results of the main investigation. In this review I give a summary of the nine chapters and then present some discussion mainly concerning the analyses sketched in the chapter about the main investigation.
