It is claimed that an interpretation in terms of item-based analogy and entrenchment of frequent meaning clusters is the most plausible analysis for the development of subjective (and pejorative) meaning associated with gå och V. The study of sitta och V is preliminary, but the results indicate that the subjective meaning of this construction is less entrenched than that of the gå och V construction and that the subjective overtone of subjectivity may be a result of the combination of the social/cultural meaning of the posture and certain intrinsically pejorative verbs, together with certain locatives.}, booktitle = {Pseudo-Coordination and Multiple Agreement Constructions}, editor = {Giuliana Giusti and Vincenzo Nicolò Di Caro and Daniel Ross}, author = {Blensenius, Kristian and Andersson Lilja, Peter}, year = {2022}, publisher = {John Benjamins}, address = {Amsterdam, Philadelphia}, ISBN = {9789027210883}, pages = {213–229}, } @incollection{blensenius-holmer-2022-verbal-318518, title = {How do verbal constructional alternations reflect (sub-)sense distinctions in dictionaries?
