Synopsis

How does one speak about kinds in Norwegian? Which noun form should one use to say that dogs bark and cows are mammals? And is it always necessary to use a plural noun form to express genericity?

The study presented in this book shows a cognitive approach to genericity in Norwegian. The study material includes three data sets-two surveys and a specialised corpus of generic texts. Both the surveys and the corpus were analysed in two ways-with the use of chosen cognitive models and with a number of statistical tests. Applying both qualitative and quantitive methods has allowed to conduct a comprehensive study on genericity in Norwegian.
