Entrapment
(Preprint; Manuskript, 2021-06-29)We discuss how the law and scholars have approached three questions. First, what acts count as acts of entrapment? Secondly, is entrapment a permissible method of law-enforcement and, if so, in what circumstances? Thirdly, what must criminal courts do, in response to the finding that an offence was brought about by an act of entrapment, in order to deliver justice? While noting the contrary tendency, ... -
Ab Initio Adult Third Language Acquisition: Transfer source selection and effects of CLI in acquisition of an artificial language
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-05-18)The field of generative third language acquisition has seen considerable activity in the last decade, resulting in several dominant models which seek to explain the phenomenon of cross-linguistic influence (CLI) and transfer. This study investigates the role of previously acquired languages, Norwegian and English, in the acquisition of morphosyntax of a miniature artificial language (MAL) at the ... -
Code-Switching in Multilinguals: A Narrative Elicitation Study with L1 Arabic, L2 English, L3 Norwegian Speakers. The Role of Cognates, Dominance and Typological proximity
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-05-17)This study aims to investigate the phenomenon of code-switching in multilingual. Participants in this study speak Arabic as L1, English as L2, and Norwegian as L3. The focus will mainly be on two main patterns in code-switching: The Insertion of cognates and the Direction of the cross-linguistic influence. More specifically, we will investigate if the co-activation effect on cognates would increase ... -
Cross-linguistic influence in the acquisition of the English determiner and tense-aspect systems by L1 Norwegian, L1 German and L1 Russian speakers
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-05-17)This thesis investigates the cross-linguistic influence in the acquisition of the English determiner (article) and tense-aspect systems by L1 Norwegian, L1 German and L1 Russian speakers. The field of Second Language Acquisition allows conducting research by comparing the influence of the certain features of different languages in relation to the target L2 that is being acquired.

Bilingual vocabulary acquisition A corpus-based case study
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-05-16)A bilingual learning two languages from birth seems to follow the same developmental trajectory as that of a monolingual. However, within vocabulary acquisition persistent and significant differences have been found between bilingual and monolinguals when the languages of bilinguals are compared separately to monolinguals’ level. The domain specific nature of a bilingual’s vocabularies is an important ... -

Secondarily, the thesis also discusses how nominalisation of the relevant verb classes ... -
Reported language attitudes among Norwegian speaking in-migrants in Tromsø

In the case of Norway, there is high tolerance for dialect use, and in this context, it is interesting to ask which kinds of sociolinguistic strategies in-migrants consider to be available given their current situation. This article explores the reported language attitudes from ... -
Bilingualism is a long-term cognitively challenging experience that modulates metabolite concentrations in the healthy brain
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-29)Cognitively demanding experiences, including complex skills acquisition and processing, have been shown to induce brain adaptations, at least at the macroscopic level, e.g. on brain volume and/or functional connectivity. However, the neurobiological bases of these adaptations, including at the cellular level, are unclear and understudied. Here we use bilingualism as a case study to investigate the ... -
Foreign Accent in Pre- and Primary School Heritage Bilinguals
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-24)Previous research has shown that the two languages of early bilingual children can influence each other, depending on the linguistic property, while adult bilinguals predominantly show influence from the majority language to the minority (heritage) language. While this observed shift in influence patterns is probably related to a shift in dominance between early childhood and adulthood, there is ... -

Curve-Based Classification Approach for Hyperspectral Dermatologic Data Processing
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-20)This paper shows new contributions in the detection of skin cancer, where we present the use of a customized hyperspectral system that captures images in the spectral range from 450 to 950 nm. By choosing a 7 × 7 sub-image of each channel in the hyperspectral image (HSI) and then taking the mean and standard deviation of these sub-images, we were able to make fits of the resulting curves. These ... -

(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-06-01)I denne masteroppgaven retter jeg fokus på prestasjonspresset blant jente-skiløpere i junioralder, og undersøker om prestasjonspresset virker fremmende eller hemmende for videre skikarriere. Hva som fører til så stort frafall i juniorårene spesielt for jente-skiløpere, er temaet jeg skal forske på i denne oppgaven. Det er forsket forholdsvis lite på frafall i junioralderen innen langrennsidretten, ... -

"Hvem pokker gider bli spiritist": Arne Garborgs möte med spiritismen
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-03)Artikeln utgör en idéhistorisk undersökning av Arne Garborgs intresse för spiritismen under 1890-talets första hälft. Artikeln argumenterar för att Garborg anlägger samma förhållningssätt till spiritismen som den samtida parapsykologin i det att han söker ge en naturlig förklaring till de fenomen som rapporteras från spiritistiska seanser. Garborgs uppmärksammande av spiritismen sätts vidare i ... -
Rohingya Women in Bangladesh: Health Challenges among Marginalizing Refugees
