Abstract

This paper presents a study on the distribution of the case forms in personal pronouns used in dislocated coordinated conjuncts in Danish. Based on previous work on case distribution, coordinated conjuncts and dislocated pronouns, it is expected that pronouns will appear in the oblique form. This is tested empirically against a large corpus of coordinated conjuncts in spoken Danish. However, the results of the test do not satisfy the expectations. This prompts considerations on the nature of grammar in spoken language with reference to Auer’s (2009) notion of ‘on-line syntax’, and it also gives occasion to revisit the dependency relations between the entities in NP’s such as Peter og mig ‘Peter and me’.
