(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2021-06)Et konstruktikon er et stort strukturert inventar av grundig beskrevete og illustrerte konstruksjoner (Lyngfelt et al. 2018). Slike allment tilgjengelige digitale databaser er viktige ressurser for både språkforskere og andrespråkstudenter, men foreløpig bygges det konstruktikon for et svært lite antall språk, inkludert svensk, tysk, spansk, brasiliansk portugisisk, koreansk, japansk og russisk.

Klargjørende debatt eller polarisering? En argumentasjonsanalyse om saklighet i debatten om manualbaserte programmer og standardisert kartlegging i norsk barnehage
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-10-31)I denne oppgaven undersøker jeg hva som preger den akademiske debatten om manualbaserte programmer og standardisert kartlegging i norske barnehager. Forskere på begge sider av debatten hevder de er opptatte av saklighet. Mitt inntrykk er at debatten føres med virkemidler som polariserer og skaper fiendebilder, og at praksis i barnehagen dermed ikke drives videre på et hensiktsmessig vis. I oppgaven ...
