Consequentialism and Its Demands: The Role of Institutions
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-17)Consequentialism is often criticized as being overly demanding, and this overdemandingness is seen as sufficient to reject it as a moral theory. This paper takes the plausibility and coherence of this objection—the Demandingness Objection—as a given. Our question, therefore, is how to respond to the Objection. We put forward a response relying on the framework of institutional consequentialism we ... -
Fiskesøkker og hverdagens magi i steinalderens kystlandskap
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2024)Kystlandskapet og dets ressurser har gjennom alle tider vært viktige for befolkningen i Nord-Norge. Det gjelder også for fangstfolk i periodene yngre steinalder (ca. 5000–1800 fvt.) og tidlig metalltid (1800–0 fvt.) som primært livnærte seg av fisk, sel og sjøfugl. Derfor er det litt av et paradoks at de avbildninger vi finner for eksempel i bergkunsten i utstrakt grad er av landpattedyr. Hvordan ... -
Cross-Linguistic Influence in Third Language Acquisition A longitudinal study on the acquisition of German morphosyntax by Norwegian high school students
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-11-01)This thesis aims to investigate how previously acquired languages influence the acquisition of a third language (L3); modes of transfer/cross-linguistic influence (CLI) (wholesale vs. property-by-property) and factors that select the source of transfer. This longitudinal empirical study contributes to the core questions of generative adult language acquisition and adds to the current discussion on ... -

The phonological status of onsets with multiple articulations in Kalahari Basin Area languages
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-11-01)Languages spoken in the Kalahari Basin Area abound with phonetic complexity, particularly with regard to clicks and stops. In these languages, the root-initial onset position is the only position within a root that allows clicks and most egressive obstruents to occur. Some clicks and obstruents are produced phonetically as sequences of release bursts, such as a coronal stop followed by a dorsal ... -
Erfaringer med norsk og engelsk blant internasjonalt ansatte på NTNU
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2024)92 % av de fast ansatte og 69 % av de midlertidig ansatte rapporterer å ha tatt norskkurs i større eller mindre grad. Likevel oppgir bare 54 % av fast ansatte at de føler de kan nok norsk til å gjøre jobben sin godt. • 36 % av fast ansatte rapporterer å ha tatt kurs tilsvarende minst B2-nivå i norsk. Av disse rapporterte 25 % at de fortsatt ikke følte at de kunne nok norsk til å gjøre jobben sin ... -
Adapting a linguistic constructicon resource to L2 learners and instructors: a challenging endeavor
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2024-03)We present the challenges faced and decisions made in creating the Russian Constructicon (https://constructicon.github.io/russian/) as a multifunctional resource. We focus on two crucial categories of target users, linguists and L2 learners & instructors, and show that they have somewhat conflicting needs and expectations. While linguists want a maximally comprehensive inventory and its description, ... -
Construxercise! A new digital resource with construction-based exercises for L2 Russian
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2024-03)In this talk, we will discuss how we can bridge the gap between a constructicon resource and second language (L2) learners, drawing our insights from the actual practice of construction-based teaching. We suggest that having a constructicon resource, even with a user-friendly design, might not be enough to successfully engage L2 students with its content. We 1) summarize the accommodations for L2 ... -
Una propuesta de producción de materiales para introducción de las perífrasis de fase en la clase de español (Spansk II) para hablantes noruegos
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2023-11-01)Las perífrasis verbales son construcciones sintácticas que constan de dos o más verbos que constituyen un solo núcleo de predicado. El primero de ellos es el verbo auxiliar que aporta modo, tiempo, persona, número y aspecto; mientras que la forma verbal auxiliada escoge los argumentos. La carga semántica que conserva el auxiliar hace que se pueda hablar de perífrasis modales y tempoaspectuales. El ... -
Mo i Rana-dialekten: En korpusanalyse
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2023-11-01)Mo i Rana er en nordnorsk industriby som spesielt på 1900-tallet gikk gjennom store samfunnsmessige endringer og dermed også en stor økning i folketallet, noe som igjen har påvirket talemålet. I denne masteroppgaven undersøker jeg hvilke dialektendringstendenser som kan spores i Mo i Rana-dialekten fra 1960-tallet og fram til i dag. For å besvare problemstillingen har jeg analysert korpusdata fra ... -

(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2023-10-23)Violence is not outside the limits of representation; it remains intertwined in its very textual fabric. This thesis investigates the inherent violence of representation in Blood Meridian, or the Evening Redness in the West by Cormac McCarthy and The Collected Works of Billy the Kid: Left-Hand Poems by Michael Ondaatje. The thesis’ main objective is to compare the thematic violence in the text to ... -
Skolt Sami language elements in the linguistic landscape in Norway and Finland: presence or absence? A study on Sami language policy and indigenous language reality in four settlements in the Skolt Sami homeland
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2022-11-16)The Skolt Sami people have their traditional homeland in Eastern Finnmark (Norway), Northern Lapland (Finland), and on the Kola Peninsula in Northwest Russia. Skolt Sami language is classified as a nearly extinct indigenous language according to the UNESCO Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger (Moseley and Nicolas, 2017), with just over 300 speakers (Jakhelln, 2021, p. 8). This thesis is ... -
Diffracting Dementia Co-creative Experiments with Agential Realism and Multisensoriality in a Residential Care Home in Northern Norway
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)Alzheimer’s Disease and other dementias (ADD) challenge Western economies, in which biomedical human-centric understandings of ADD as deficit dominates. To imagine lives with ADD differently, we have facilitated and researched co-creative art sessions rooted in feminist posthumanities in residential care homes in Northern Norway. We have experimented with Karen Barad’s diffractive methodology, ... -

Jesu ord på korset - forlatt eller fornærmet?
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-10-31)Allerede få tiår etter Jesu død verserte det ulike tradisjoner som skildret Jesu ord på korset. Av de tekstene vi i dag kjenner til, er Markusevangeliet det tidsmessig nærmeste korsfestelsen av Jesus. I evangeliet er Jesu siste ord Eloi, Eloi, lama sabaktani? Ytringen er en translitterasjon fra arameisk som oversettes til gresk av evangelisten Markus, før den får norsk språkdrakt i "Min Gud, min ... -
Die "gesetzgebende Gewalt" der Chemie. Henrik Steffens und die chemische Geologie um 1800
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2024)Der Beitrag handelt davon, wie Steffens sein Interesse an chemischen Prozessen in der Natur mit zeitlichen Prozessen in der Geologie zusammenbringt. Durch die Fokussierung chemischer Prozesse gelingt es ihm – so die These – die Prozessualität organischer und anorganischer Erscheinungen nachzuweisen und dadurch sein Projekt einer „innern Naturgeschichte der Erde“, die sowohl Anorganisches als Organisches ... -

Trondenes prestegård: Et arkeologisk puslespill
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2023-11-01)Fra 1962 – 1964 ble det utført en utgravning av Trondenes prestegård. Grunnet lite erfaring og mangel på metode har dokumentasjonen fra denne utgravningen vist mye problematikk som har ført til lite forskning på gården. Tilstanden til dokumentasjonen m.m. har også ført til at materialet er delvis uprosessert. Det har tidligere blitt gjort en undersøkelser av keramikkmaterialet på Trondenes av Trude ... -
