U.N. Discourses on Indigenous Religion
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2017-06-06)Several scholars have commented on the ‘spiritual tone’ of u.n. discourses on indigenous peoples, but mostly in passing and never – to my knowledge – as a main focus. An attempt to address this gap and discuss in more detail u.n. discourses on indigenous religion, this chapter is concerned with references to religion and cognates, and with extent, patterns and usage. Anything resembling a complete ... -

The loss of feminine gender in Norwegian: a dialect comparison
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-08)It is well known that grammatical gender systems may change historically. Previous research has documented loss of the feminine gender in several Norwegian dialects, including those spoken in Oslo and Tromsø (Lødrup in Maal og Minne 2:120–136, 2011; Rodina and Westergaard in J Ger Linguist 27(2):145–187 2015). In these dialects, the change is characterized by replacement of the feminine indefinite ... -

On the status of Concordantia Temporum in Spanish: An experimental approach
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-23)Subjunctive clauses in Spanish are traditionally claimed to obey Concordantia Temporum (CT), an agreement in tense between the matrix and subjunctive clauses. Treating this phenomenon literally as agreement is problematic, so an analysis in which CT falls out from general principles of tense interpretation, as in Laca (2010a), is very attractive. Nevertheless, this analysis seems to make some <i>prima ... -

Language lateralisation measured across linguistic and national boundaries
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-03)The visual half-field technique has been shown to be a reliable and valid neuropsychological measurement of language lateralisation, typically showing higher accuracy and faster correct responses for linguistic stimuli presented in the right visual field (RVF) than left visual field (LVF). The RVF advantage corresponds to the well-known dominance of the left hemisphere (LH) in processing language(s). ... -
Mindre styring og mer autonomi? En studie av Kunnskapsdepartementets tildelingsbrev til universitet og høgskoler i Nord-Norge, i perioden 2006-2014
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2014-11-17)Temaet for denne oppgaven er balanseforholdet mellom behovet for statlig styring og autonomi i underliggende virksomhet. På den ene siden eksisterer et generelt ønske om å delegere oppgaver, myndighet og ansvar, men på den andre siden finnes det et markant behov for å sikre at de som blir tildelt større og mer omfattende autonomi faktisk er i stand til å innfri de krav som stilles til offentlige ... -

Manufacturing Consent in Video Games—The Hegemonic Memory Politics of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (2015)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-11-11)In this article I argue that the structural conditions of global capitalism and postcolonialism encourage game developers to rearticulate hegemonic memory politics and suppress subaltern identities. This claim is corroborated via an application of Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky’s propaganda model to the Japanese-developed video game Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. This case study highlights ... -
