Author Description

The articles collected in this volume - and presented to Bjorg Baekken on the occasion of her 70th birthday - have been written by some of her many friends and colleagues in Norway and abroad. The authors deal with a wide range of topics that mirror not only their scholarly expertise, but also Bjorg's lively interest in subject areas such as historical syntax, phonetics, information packaging and contrastive grammar.
