Summary
Speakers of Danish do an impressive range of things with the preposition ‘med’ (‘with’), and this book is the first in-depth study of the crucial role of ‘med’ in the grammar of Danish. Through the example of Danish ‘med’, the book offers groundbreaking new insights to the general linguistic study of ‘with’-like elements and to our understanding of how prepositions contribute meaning.
