From policymaking to classroom practices, educational language policy implementation is a complex process filled with a cacophony of voices. This article examines policy implementation as it unfolds in micro-level transitions between mainstream classrooms and lessons in Sámi, Kven, or Finnish as a second language (SKF) in Norway. In such situations, SKF pupils need to leave their mainstream classes ...

We analyze repetition in Russian from the perspective of the Russian Constructicon which represents over 2200 grammatical constructions described in terms of anchors (fixed elements) and slots (for various filler elements) and fully annotated for their syntactic and semantic characteristics. The Russian Constructicon facilitates the first large-scale investigation of reduplication across a representative ...

<i>Patriot</i> er viktig som personleg vitnesbyrd, men boka er enda viktigare som ei skildring av moderne russisk historie.

The relationship between Nordic peace and levels of militarisation needs interogation, including how peace has relied upon previous levels of militarisation, and what role militarisation plays today. This is particularly important as civilian involvement in conflict escalation complicates easy (an increasingly blurry) divides between civilian and military, peace and war.

This article addresses the issues of difficulties in processing different types of negation in the L1 and L2 by looking at the differences in the ways in which comprehenders anticipate upcoming visual information during ...

The framework plan for kindergartens in Norway emphasizes knowledge of Indigenous Sámi culture among the core values of pedagogical practice. Preservice students in early childhood teacher education (ECTE) are thus obliged to learn about Sámi culture. We explored and developed collaborative teaching interventions for Sámi topics. We aimed to “braid” Sámi diversity into our teaching and make the ...

We reveal an ongoing language change in Ukrainian involving a construction with a sub- ject comprised of the indefinite quantifier багато ‘many’ modifying a noun phrase in the Genitive Plural. Number agreement on the verb varies, allowing both Singular (in 69.1% of attestations) and Plural (in 30.9% of attestations). Based on statistical analysis of corpus data, we investigate the influence of the ...

This special issue consists of four articles, contributed by David Owen; Désirée Lim, Sahar Akhtar and (as co-authors) Mollie Gerver, Miranda Simon, Patrick Lown and Dominik Duell. These contributions address issues related to migration policies with the aim of bringing normative theories of migration and discrimination into dialogue. These theories describe the various types of discrimination ...

In the thesis, I investigate the relationship between syntax and semantics. To what extent does syntax accommodate meaning, and how? To aid my investigation, I consider three different case studies: 1) grinding and portioning (and lack thereof) in Mainland Scandinavian; 2) frequency adjectives in English; 3) pancake sentences in Mainland Scandinavian. These case studies give insight into the roles ...
