From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Inger Rosengren, born Inger Hofmann in 1934 in Aarhus, Jutland[1], is a Swedish linguist, educator and professor emerita of German.

Biography[edit]

In 1947, Inger Rosengren moved with her parents from Denmark to the south of Sweden. Later, she moved to Lund, Sweden, where she has lived for most of her research career[2]. Studies in theoretical philosophy and modern languages led to the degrees Master of Arts in 1957[3] and a Licentiate of Philosophy in 1961[4]. She defended her PhD thesis in 1966 with Sture Allén and Tilo von Sparr as opponents, and was named an associate professor that same year. In 1971, she was appointed to a tenured professorship. She was married to the late Professor of Media and Communication Karl Erik Rosengren and has three children. Inger Rosengren lives in Stockholm, Sweden.

Research[edit]

Inger Rosengren's research work was initially focused on quantitative aspects of language history, such as the study of certain adjectives in medieval chivalric poetry. Her interest also extended to contemporary German, which eventually led to the publication of a frequency dictionary of contemporary German newspaper language.

Gradually, however, Rosengren's research came to be centered on grammar and especially the relationship between semantics, syntax and pragmatics. In this part of their research, she and her colleagues were strongly inspired by Noam Chomsky's theories of generative grammar. An early example in this genre is her contribution to a work on valence, case and grammatical relations in 1978. The work was done partly in collaboration with Swedish colleagues such as Margareta Brandt, Ingemar Persson, Lars Åhlander, Christer Platzack and Sven-Gunnar Andersson, but also with internationally active researchers such as Marga Reis, Hubert Haider, Wolfgang Motsch, Ilse Zimmermann, Norbert Fries and Manfred Bierwisch.

Much of the international cooperation took place within the "Sprache und Pragmatik" programme, which began with a major symposium in 1980. The program was fruitful and resulted in many publications. At the same time, Rosengren published her own research outside the programme in various international journals[5].

Rosengren's research continued even after she reached her emerita status and resulted in several articles. The latest publication is an article about the imperatives written together with Christer Platzack that was published in 2017.

Teaching, pedagogical work and social debate[edit]

In addition to working as a researcher, Rosengren has taught at Lund University and also supervised several doctoral students. She has actively participated in the debate to strengthen Swedish language teaching[6], as well as published teaching materials, such as "German Syntax for University Level", which has been published in several editions.
