Although Thomas Dyke Tellefsen’s mazurkas have been considered mere imitations of Chopin’s musical idiom, his mazurkas are closely related to Norwegian folk elements. Tellefsen adopted Norwegian folkloric elements from his own country and infused Norwegian spirit into his works to create his own musical language. To trace the Norwegian folk influence, this study examines folk dance (the springar), folk instruments (the hardanger fiddle and the langeleik), and folk melodic and rhythmic motifs. As the result, this research demonstrates that Tellefsen’s mazurkas were influenced by a phrase structure of Norwegian springar dance music and the exact sound effect of folk instruments (the hardanger fiddle and the langeleik) as well as Norwegian folk rhythmic and melodic formulas which are frequently used in Norwegian folk tunes. Furthermore, the comparison between Tellefsen and Chopin’s mazurkas demonstrates that although their mazurkas seem to have a similar musical style, Tellefsen’s mazurkas include his own traditional Norwegian folk aesthetic, which present original contributions to the genre.

<p>The subject of this dissertation is Norwegian modal verbs, modal auxiliaries or, if one prefers, simply modals. The term modals will be employed in this dissertation, since this term, unlike the other two, is not inherently encumbered with theoretical assumptions about the categorical status of these linguistic elements.</p>

<p>Avhandlingen tar utgangspunkt i landskaps- og stedsbeskrivelser i et utvalg av Dag Solstads noveller, kortprosatekster og romaner fra 1965-99. Avhandlingen viser hvordan de skiftende figurasjonene av landskap og omgivelser kan tolkes som uttrykk for vilkårene for å gjøre historiske erfaringer i Solstads norske, geografiske livsverden i andre halvdel av det 20. århundret. </p>
