Norwegian modals
Eide, Kristin M., 1965-Berlin ; New York : Mouton de Gruyter, 2005.This book is an investigation of the syntax and semantics of Norwegian modal verbs, cast in the Principles- and- Parameters framework. The two main topics are a) the argument structure of these modals, and b) their possible insertion points in a syntactic structure. Both topics regard the syntax as well as many aspects of the semantics of these linguistic elements.

Finiteness matters : on finiteness-related phenomena in natural languages
Amsterdam ; Philadelphia : John Benjamins Publishing Company, [2016]"Although standardly recognized by linguists of many diverse theoretical persuasions, finiteness continues to figure among [...] the most poorly understood concepts of linguistic theory". This was eloquently stated by Ledgeway (2000, 2007) and remains true even today. The present volume thus aims to shed some much needed light on this area of linguistic theorizing, with eleven chapters approaching finiteness phenomena from the fields of syntax, semantics, language acquisition, and Creole studies, and providing data from a range of different languages. Traditionally, approaches to finiteness within the Principles and Parameters framework have seen as their main aim to understand the relation between the morphological exponents of finiteness and the syntactic operations seemingly depending on these exponents. The papers in this volume mostly take their point of departure from this more traditional view on finiteness, before elaborating on, modifying and diverging from this tradition in novel and interesting ways.
