Summary

A Cognitive Approach to Genericity in Norwegian explores how genericity is expressed in the Norwegian language. It examines which noun forms are used to speak about kinds, such as stating that dogs bark or cows are mammals, and questions whether plural nouns are always necessary to convey generic meanings. The book presents a study based on three data sets: two surveys and a specialised corpus of generic texts. Employing both qualitative and quantitative methods, the author uses cognitive models alongside statistical analysis to provide a thorough investigation of genericity in Norwegian.

Description

How does one speak about kinds in Norwegian? Which noun form should one use to say that dogs bark and cows are mammals? And is it always necessary to use a plural noun form to express genericity?

The study presented in A Cognitive Approach to Genericity in Norwegian shows a cognitive approach to genericity in Norwegian. The study material includes three data sets—two surveys and a specialised corpus of generic texts. Both the surveys and the corpus were analysed in two ways—with the use of chosen cognitive models and with a number of statistical tests. Applying both qualitative and quantitative methods has allowed for a comprehensive study on genericity in Norwegian.
