Danish rundt ‘around’ as a postposition?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 February 2024
Abstract
In this squib, I provide arguments in favour of the view that Danish rundt is a postposition. The functional, semantic, and syntactic properties of adpositions are discussed, and I show that competing analyses of rundt are falsifiable while the postposition analysis itself is not falsified.
Résumé
Dans cette notule, je fournis des arguments en faveur de l'idée que le mot danois rundt est une postposition. Les propriétés fonctionnelles, sémantiques et syntaxiques des adpositions sont discutées et je montre que les analyses concurrentes de rundt sont falsifiables alors que l'analyse de la postposition elle-même n'est pas falsifiée.
