Norwegian MRS Test Suite

;'Norwegian MRS test suite'
;
;This list is based on a test suite for English [REF], with the English 
;counterpart given as a comment above each Norwegian sentence. The 
;correspondences go by phenomenon match rather than direct translation, 
;so that in some cases, the closest phenomenal counterpart in Norwegian 
;is not a translation, nor even in all respects the same construction type. 
;In such cases, an English gloss is given as a comment underneath the 
;Norwegian sentence.
;At the end, some Norwegian constructions are added that have no direct
;constructional counterpart in the English list, but nevertheless 
;represents a reading present in one of the English sentences.
