Nordic Word Order Database: Motivations, methods, material and infrastructure

Abstract: In this article, we present the Nordic Word Order Database (NWD), with a focus on the rationale behind it, the methods used in data elicitation, data analysis and the empirical scope of the database. NWD is an online database with a user-friendly search interface, hosted by The Text Laboratory at the University of Oslo, launched in April 2019 (https://tekstlab.uio.no/nwd). It contains elicited production data from speakers of all of the North Germanic languages, including several different dialects. So far, 7 … Show more

“…In the produced sentences with errors, we still never find any cases where the subject is preceded by the negation or the reflexive. We can safely conclude that the order subject-negation is very strict in Faroese, similar to Icelandic and Danish (again, see Lundquist et al 2019).…”

“…The original experiment contained 92 items, but 6 items were removed from the experiment after the second day of fieldwork, due to a high error rate of these items (mainly due to problems with interpreting non-human referring pronouns in isolated sentences). The experiment consists of three parts, described in detail in the overview article (Lundquist et al 2019).…”

“…The fieldwork was part of a research project developing the Nordic Word order Database (NWD). The design for the experiments in the research project is described in detail in an overview article about NWD (Lundquist et al 2019). In the present article, we cover only macro-experiment 2 (idem: 14-16), which examines word order in embedded sentences.…”

“…In the overview article (Lundquist et al 2019), we describe the verb placement experiment as involving two different tasks/transformations: main-to-embedded and embedded-to-main clauses. The original aim of the experiment was to test embedded sentence word order in Faroese, and it was only later expanded to include the second task in subsequent fieldwork in the other North Germanic languages.…”
