NTNU, LING1113 (2009) - Interiority
Revision as of 18:29, 13 April 2009 by Signe Rix Berthelin (Talk | contribs)
The located object is included or contained in the reference object. In Norwegian, interiority of the located object is indicated by the prepositions 'i' and 'innenfor', i having a slightly broader meaning. However, the interiority of the reference object in the located object can also be indicated by the preposition 'omkring'.
(og her kommer det så nogle norske exsempler. Kan mit eksaempel fra dansk stå hernede? Eller blir det fjollet?)
In Danish there are two different options when one wants to express interiority and motion; /motion verb/+ind i and /motion verb/+inde i. The differense between the meanings of those two forms are whether a locomotion or a single motion is denoted.
