	abstract     = {This article is a corpus-based study of the semantics of pseudocoordination with posture verbs meaning ‘lie’, ‘sit’, and ‘stand’ in the Mainland Scandinavian languages (i.e. Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish). An example is Danish Jeg sidder og læser ‘I am reading’, literally ‘I sit and read’. While many previous studies of posture verb pseudocoordination have focused on the semantic bleaching and grammaticalization of posture verbs, recent research has shown that such developments have so far been very limited and have argued that a proper understanding of posture verb pseudocoordination needs to be sought in the context of pseudocoordination in general, taking into account the role of location. Drawing on frame semantics, the present study shows how the notion of ‘facilitation’ can be applied to shed light on the role of posture: stability of posture at a location for a certain duration facilitates the activity referred to with the last part of the coordination. Based on large data sets, distinctive collexemes are found for posture verbs, i.e. verb collocations showing how each posture facilitates a distinct set of activities. Further, a few collexemes revealing posture verb bleaching are discovered, showing how aspectual grammaticalization may develop.},

	title        = {Matches and mismatches in Swedish gå och V 'go/walk and V'. An exemplar-based perspective},
	abstract     = {This article studies the pseudo-coordination [ga 'go/walk och 'and' V]. The construction has several meanings and it also has subordination counterparts in Modern Swedish, unlike most Swedish pseudo-coordinations. Our diachronic study shows that [ga och V] cannot readily be reduced to the verbs in isolation and that synchronic lexicocentric perspectives based on syntactic (re)configurations cannot capture the constructional meaning such as the assumed inference of 'surprise' or 'unexpectedness. We argue that a detailed analysis of the historical development makes the picture clearer. In the development of [ga och V], item-based analogy continuously facilitates new verbs in the V slot. At a certain stage, there is a mismatch between the agentivity of the construction and the non-agentivity of events denoted by the second verb. This mismatch is resolved by the override principle that forces non-agentive verbs to be interpreted agentively and promote a more abstract and lexicalized version of the construction. The exemplar-based view to constructions proposed by Bybee (2010, 2013) seems favorable, since frequent exemplars of [ga och V] allow for redundant or marginal features to serve as the model for novel expansions of the construction.},

	title        = {En historisk studie av pseudosamordning: konstruktionen gå och V i svenskan},
	abstract     = {This article studies a special type of verbal coordination in Swedish, pseudocoordination,
which involves two verbs or verb phrases typically combined with och ‘and’. Although it
consists of two verbs with a conjunction between them, pseudocoordination in many
ways behaves like a subordinating complex-predicate construction. In the literature,
pseudocoordination is treated more or less explicitly as a unitary phenomenon, but
previous diachronic studies of some types of pseudocoordination point in slightly
different directions regarding the origin of pseudocoordinations with different first verbs.
It has been claimed that they originate in (canonical) verbal coordinations, but it has also
been claimed that they are originally hypotactic structures in which the conjunction is a
covert infinitival marker (both are typically pronounced in the same way today). To the
best of our knowledge, the gå och V ‘walk/go and V’ construction has not previously been
studied both diachronically and corpus-based. By examining gå och V in historical
corpora, we therefore add to the historical knowledge of pseudocoordination with gå in
Swedish. The gå och V construction is particularly interesting since it has multiple
meanings and since it, unlike the bulk of Swedish pseudocoordinations, also has
subordination counterparts in Modern Swedish.},
