A Formative Grammar on English
In preparation.
(With Charles Prescott, University of Sussex, and Dr. Farshad Badie)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Formative Grammar
The project is a life-long basic research project elaborating the special linguistic theory invented and developed by Hans Götzsche, Formative Grammar, and its specific applications to different kinds of linguistic phenomena:
(i) syntax (Epi-Formal Analysis in Syntax (EFA(X), now in version 3 (EFAX3)):
The book offers the first (and only) formal unification of Louis Hjelmslev’s Glossematics and Paul Diderichsen’s so-called ‘sentence scheme’ (in the book called sentence table), which is an empirical generalisation of the syntax of Danish, also applied to Swedish and Norwegian.
(ii) semantics (Epi-Formal Analysis in Semantics (EFA(SE), in process), and
(iii) phonology (Epi-Formal Analysis in Phonology (EFA(PH)).
The projects are related to the projects ‘Occurrence Logic’ and ‘Mathematics and Language’. Initial progress has been made on alternative formalisms concerning analysing the semantics of texts.
Initial progress has been made on alternative formalisms concerning analysing the semantics of texts and a collaboration with a software company on an application to text corpora has been initiated.

Occurrence Logic
A life-long basic research project elaborating the notion of Occurrence Logic invented by Hans Götzsche. It is the basis of the formalisms implemented in Formative Grammar. The project is linked to the project ‘Language and Mathematics’.
(With Dr. Michael Richter and Dr. Farshad Badie)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Language and Mathematics
The project is a long-term basic research project investigating the relation between natural languages and the formal language of mathematics. This is carried out primarily through a detailed study of the history, syntax and semantics of numerals.

Historical Syntax and Word Formation
In progress.
The project is a long-term project investigating syntactic and word formation phenomena in Danish and Swedish texts from the Old Danish/Old Swedish (ca. 800-1100) period through the 18th Century. The project is related to the ‘Steno Project’. A number of other languages will also be investigated.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Nya Testamentet 1526 “Thet Nyia Testamentit på Swensko”
In progress.
The purpose of the project is to identify the non-finite verbal expressions as for their forms and meanings in order to contribute to the decription of historical verb forms in Swedish. The aim is also to contribute to the digitalisation of the prited version 1526.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Steno Project
In progress.
The project is a long-term project investigating some of the Latin manuscripts by Niels Steensen (Steno) concerning stylistic phenomena and comparing them with the style of 17th Century texts in Danish and Swedish. The project is related to the ‘Historical Syntax’ Project.

The Petrarca Project
In progress.
The project is a long-term project investigating some of the later publications of Francesco Petrarca.
