ÚrtakGreinin er um, í hvønn mun fyrisetingin fyri møguliga kann stýra hvønnfalli, har hon fyrr stýrdi hvørjumfalli, ella um fólk kunnu hava variatión í báðum føllum. Ein spurnablaðskanning vísir, at munur er á málnýtsluni hjá teimum eldru og teimum yngru málbrúkarunum. Háttalagið, sum nýtt er, er ein kvantitativ korrelatiónsgreining. AbstractThe question we adress in this article is to what extent the preposition fyri 'for' might govern the accusative where it used to govern the dative. In order to find out if this is so, young and old speakers of Faroese have answered a grammaticality judgment test, and it is the results of this test that we present the reader for here.

This paper examines the acceptability of the double object and prepositional frames for ditransitives in Faroese. We build on previous literature which has discussed various factors which may influence speakers’ use of one frame over the other. We report the findings of a judgment study in which we examined the degree to which semantic properties of verbs and length of the indirect object affect speakers’ acceptability of each frame. Our findings suggest that verbal semantics affect the acceptability of the prepositional construction, but not the double object construction. Our findings, however, do not directly support a heavy-late effect, unlike what has been reported in previous literature on Faroese (most notably by Fiebig 2012).
