Documents in the Age of Non-Human Agency
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024)As documents are inherently tied to humans and their expressions (Lund 2024), facilitating communication across time and space, we might have historically reflected on the implications of inserting a computer or information system between humans. If we envision the human as a handyman engaged in technical engineering, we can comprehend the development of AI, Artificial Intelligence, as part of a ... -

Photography, plants and care in a changing Arctic
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2025)This paper develops a theoretical analogy between photography and plants and engages with contemporary ideas on photography and care in a posthuman and more than-human-world. The analysis is based on a selection of vernacular archival images from the Svalbard region, recorded by temporary settlers in the Norwegian, Swedish, and Soviet mining towns between the 1920s and 1980s, which are now kept in ... -
Generativity, comparative grammar, and the syntax vs. the lexicon debates
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-12-31)Within linguistic theory, the division of labour between syntax and the lexicon has been a central issue for debate among different architectures of grammar, roughly corresponding to the distinction between memorization and rule governed aspects of language competence. In this article, I give some historical context for these debates, concluding that differences in architectural assumptions are ... -
The Workspace as a source of hierarchy in extended projections
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-12-31)Extended projections (EPs) in natural languages have several properties which have not yet been explained. (i) EPs conform to a Hierarchy of Projections (HoP), a crosslinguistically similar hierarchical arrangement of semantically grounded categories. (ii) Each token of an EP is linear, in the sense that it has a single dimension (with specifiers and adjuncts stripped out, it is a string). (iii) ... -
Can lexical and morphosyntactic dialect features be acquired by L3 speakers? The case of Poles in Tromsø
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-12-31)Aims and Objectives/Purpose/Research Questions: There is scant literature on second dialect acquisition for both L1 and L2 speakers (Drummond, 2013; Gnevsheva et al., 2022), with no literature on L3 speakers. In this article, we focus on dialect acquisition in multilinguals, in participants’ third or additional language acquired in adulthood. We explore this in the context of Norway, a country with ... -
Individual language experience determinants of morphosyntactic variation in heritage and attriting speakers of Bosnian and Serbian
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-11-18)Using a causal inference approach, we explored the relationships among the language experience determinants of morphosyntactic sensitivity, to identify the factors that indirectly and directly cause its acquisition or maintenance in immigration contexts. We probed the sensitivity to Serbian/ Bosnian clitic placement violations with a self-paced listening task, in a diverse group of bilinguals ... -

Ungdom, selvmord og suicidal overlevelse i Heine T. Bakkeids Uten puls (2006), Oliver Lovrenskis Da vi var yngre (2023) og Simon Strangers 304 dager (2021)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-12-12)Hvorfor tar <i>ungdom</i> livet av seg? Hvordan blir ungdomsselvmord fremstilt i samtidens ungdomslitteratur? En selvmordstekst kan i sin enkleste forstand defineres som et fiktivt litteraturverk der selvmord utgjør hovedhendelsen for den suicidale personens død eller overlevelse, og for de pårørendes opplevelse og utfordringer. Denne artikkelen analyserer hvordan ungdomsromanene Uten puls (2006) ... -
"En brennende kniv: Selvmord, sublimering og slapstick i Arne Østrings 'Ut av stillheten'"
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-12-12)Arne Østrings kortprosatekst «Ut av stillheten» kan saktens leses som en lettere komisk tekst om en japansk kamikaze-pilots – en selvmordsbombers – umulige tokt mot en militært overlegenfiende, men mer interessant er det at teksten balanserer en krigslogikk og en rasjonell psyko-logi, at den skriver frem kamikaze-krigens premisser og forhistorie, og ikke minst at den situe-rer selvmorderen som ... -

Indigenous language technology in the age of machine learning
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-11-13)Most modern language technology for proofing tools, machine translation and other applications is based on machine learning. However, very few Indigenous languages have the necessary amount of texts for making tools based on this technology. When most language technology is based on large language models (LLMs), it bears the risk of most of Indigenous language online text being produced by neural ... -

Bilingualism, sleep, and cognition: An integrative view and open research questions
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-12-06)Sleep and language are fundamental to human existence and have both been shown to substantially affect cognitive functioning including memory, attentional performance, and cognitive control.

Sources of children’s difficulties with non-canonical sentence structures: Insights from Mandarin
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-11-27)The present study investigated whether children’s difficulty with non-canonical structures is due to their non-adult-like use of linguistic cues or their inability to revise misinterpretations using late-arriving cues. We adopted a priming production task and a self-paced listening task with picture verification, and included three Mandarin non-canonical structures with differing word orders and the ... -
I skyggen av sykdom. Skandinaviske pårørendefortellinger i vår tid
(Book; Bok, 2024)Pårørende har en sentral rolle i utøvelsen av samfunnets helse- og sosialtjenester, og deres ulønnede innsats utgjør om lag 136.000 årsverk i Norge. I tillegg kommer at barns pårørenderolle er vesentlig, men vanskelig å tallfeste. Til tross for at de aller fleste av oss blir pårørende i løpet av livet, har dette historisk sett vært en usynlig gruppe. Pårørende er likevel blitt omtalt som «velferdsstatens ... -
