More DescriptionEnglish summary: Adversative connectors mark contradictory connections between two sets of circumstances but can also be used as a way of structuring discourse. But how do adversative and non-adversative applications behave in relation to each other? Which of these applications can be seen as the more original? This study looks at the development of specific adversative connectors in Northern Germanic languages as well as the functional relationship between their adversative and non-adversative applications. The analysis is based on a corpus of Danish and Swedish texts from the 9th up until the 18th century, as well as on data from modern Northern Germanic languages including Danish, Faroese, Icelandic, Norwegian and Swedish. German description: Adversativkonnektoren markieren Gegensatzrelationen zwischen zwei Sachverhalten, werden allerdings auch als Mittel der Diskursstrukturierung gebraucht. Doch wie verhalten sich adversative und nicht-adversative Verwendungen zueinander? Welche dieser Verwendungen konnen als ursprunglicher angesehen werden? Die Arbeit behandelt die Herausbildung von spezifischen adversativen Konnektoren in den nordgermanischen Sprachen sowie den funktionalen Zusammenhang zwischen ihren adversativen und nicht-adversativen Verwendungen. Die Analyse basiert auf einem Korpus danischer und schwedischer Texte aus dem 9. bis zum 18. Jahrhundert, sowie auf Daten aus den modernen nordgermanischen Sprachen Danisch, Faroisch, Islandisch, Norwegisch und Schwedisch.
