Papers by Björn Hansen
stereotypical usages of ethnonyms and demonstrates how a corpus of linguistic data can enhance the study of stereotypes encoded in linguistic structures. Second, it addresses the relationship
between mental stereotypes in the sense of Adam Schaff and semantic associations (connotations) encoded in polysemy, derivates and idiomatic expressions. It is argued that although many connotations
indeed do reflect ethnic stereotypes, we can find other cases where the connection is only indirect or has faded away completely. The author comes to the conclusion that notwithstanding a considerable overlap connotations and tereotypes are not identical and, therefore, should be kept apart.
da2-complements in contemporary Serbian. Scholars’ opinions on the acceptability and occurrence of this construction, based on a handful of self-made examples, vary considerably. Expanding on the assumption that the correctness of the phenomenon has often been denied due to its rareness we employ large corpora to examine the problem. We focus on possible constraints arising from the syntactic properties of clause-embedding predicates.
Clitic Climbing in Bosnian, Croatian and
Serbian, are often described intuitively,
only from the perspective of the main tendency.
In this paper, we argue that web
corpora currently offer the best source
of empirical material for studying Clitic
Climbing in BCS. They thus allow the
most accurate description of this phenomenon,
as less frequent constructions
can be tracked only in big, well-annotated
data sources. We compare the properties
of web corpora for BCS with traditional
sources and give examples of studies on
CC based on web corpora. Furthermore,
we discuss problems related to web corpora
and suggest some improvements for
the future.

The aim of this book is to describe the properties of modals and modal constructions in the European area and to compare the systems in individual languages or language families from an areal and genetic perspective. For the sake of contrast, the book also looks at the expression of modality in some languages just outside of Europe. The book consists of fourteen chapters on modal systems in individual languages or language families, written by experts in the respective languages, and an introductory and concluding chapter, written by the editors.
Das in einem Unterprojekt erstellte deutsch-tschechische Korpus basiert auf Interviews mit zwei verschiedenen Migrationsgruppen. Ein korpuslinguistisches Novum ist die Annotation von sprachbiographischen Fakten und von Sprachkontaktphänomenen wie Replikationen. Der Band stellt zudem eine praktische Anleitung für die Erstellung soziolinguistischer Korpora zur Mehrsprachigkeit dar.
