TY - JOUR AU - Jarvad, Pia PY - 2016/12/19 Y2 - 2024/03/29 TI - Til lykke JF - Folia Scandinavica Posnaniensia JA - 10.1515/fsp VL - 20 IS - SE - Articles DO - 10.1515/fsp-2016-0029 UR - https://pressto.amu.edu.pl/index.php/fsp/article/view/6761 SP - 105-117 AB - In this article I give semantic and historical explanations of some selected lexical areas that may cause problems for non-native speakers of Danish. I describe some important developments in a historical perspective, showing how new words shift the semantics of old words. I also deal with how many new words are continuously recorded and the vast majority of new words are occasional formations. They show the creativity in Danish language. I have selected two new words from each year since 1946 to honor the 70-year-old professor in Danish. ER -
