Om svenska konjunktioner och deras historia
(2012) In Arkiv för nordisk filologi 127. p.59-92- Abstract
- Swedish conjunctions differ from subjunctions by being able to combine main clauses with each other. At the beginning of the literary period (13th century) Swedish had conjinctions meaning 'and', 'or', 'but', all of them with a Proto-Germanic origin.

In this article it s argued that these conjunctions were originally established as subjunctions which later became used also as conjunctions. The formal differentiation between conjunctions and subjunctions may be related to the rise of the particular syntactic structure of Swedish subordinate clauses in early modern time. It is interesting to note that the development... (More)
