Modal-dependence and naturalness in phonology: confronting the ontogenetic question
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2013-05-21)Phonologists have long debated the role of phonetics in phonological theories. A key point in this debate is whether or not phonological computation is to be regarded as modally-independent, that is, whether or not facts about the articulatory and perceptual organs are regarded as external to the phonology. This dissertation argues for a form of grounded phonology, by drawing on findings in ... -

(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2003)La variation linguistique est indissociable de toute langue naturelle, et les facteurs qui la conditionnent doivent recevoir une explication de la part du linguiste.

In support of the full access full transfer hypothesis : evidence from error patterns in the second language acquisition of English articles

De plus, nous avons l’impression qu’elle n’est pas beaucoup décrite dans la littérature linguistique. Par cette étude, nous ... -
