Passive in Danish, English, and German
نویسنده
چکیده
In the following subsections we examine various properties of passives in which Danish, English, and German differ. We look at the morphological passive in Danish in Section 1.1, compare the personal and impersonal pas-sives in the three languages in Section 1.2, examine the possibility to promote the objects in passives of ditransi-tive constructions in Section 1.3. 1.1 Morphological and Analytic Forms Danish has two basic variants of passives. The first one is an analytic form with an auxiliary blive and a participle (1b) and the second one is a morphological passive that is formed by adding an-s suffix to a finite verb (1c,d). (1c) shows an example of passive applying to the present tense form of a verb and (1d) shows one applying to the past tense form.

Native-language phonetic and phonological influences on perception of American English approximants by Danish and German listeners
Perception of non-native consonant contrasts may be influenced by phonetic, as well as phonological, properties of the listener’s native language. The impact of both factors on perception of American English /r l w j/ was investigated with native speakers of Danish and German, which have /r l j/ but lack /w/, thus employing /r/-/l/ but lacking /w/-/j/ and /w/-/r/ as phonological contrasts.

متن کاملSyntactic priming in German-English bilinguals during sentence comprehension
A longstanding question in bilingualism is whether syntactic information is shared between the two language processing systems. We used an fMRI repetition suppression paradigm to investigate syntactic priming in reading comprehension in German-English late-acquisition bilinguals. In comparison to conventional subtraction analyses in bilingual experiments, repetition suppression has the advantag...
متن کاملResearch on machine translation at the University of Saarbrücken
Research in the field of automatic analysis of language and machine translation has a long tradition at the University of Saarbrücken. In the late 1950s, a first attempt was made at the Institute of Applied Mathematics to develop a system for the automatic translation of Latin sentences (taken from a secondary school textbook) into German. In the early 1960s, a small group of researchers and st...
