Qué hacen las preposiciones en las perífrasis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-12)En este artículo nos ocupamos de la naturaleza del llamado nexo de las perífrasis, y específicamente de los casos que son aparentemente preposiciones (<i>ir a</i> + <i>infinitivo</i>, <i>dejar de</i> + <i>infinitivo</i>). Mostraremos a través de una serie de pruebas que no cabe considerarlos formas fosilizadas que aparecen por un motivo de idiosincrasia léxica; antes bien, es posible establecer una ... -
“Quiero juksar en la julaftenito” – Playfulness and metalinguistic awareness in translingual family interactions
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)This article explores playfulness and creativity in translingual family interactions. In particular, it focuses on how and to what ends adolescents mobilize multilingual resources in family interactions. It investigates the cases of two multilingual families with adolescent children (13–18 years old). The families have different linguistic backgrounds, but have in common that one of the parents have ... -
Quirky n-words in Polish. NPIs, negative quantifiers or neither?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2003)The present paper investigates the contexts in which the so-called n-words - the items which are taken to be Negative Polarity Items in Slavic languages - unexpectedly occur without a licensing negation marker on the verb. This particular usage of n-words seems to point towards an ambiguous behaviour of the items in question: in an antimorphic contexts they are NPIs; otherwise they are negative ... -
“Rabotnul na slavu – gul’ni smelo!”: –NU- As a Universal Aspectual Marker in Non-standard Russian
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2015)This article illustrates a strong tendency in modern non-standard Russian, where verbs bearing the semelfactive marker –nu- can perform various actional functions, ranging from semelfactives to Natural Perfectives and even delimitatives. The universal character of –nu- depends on the interaction of such factors as the semantics of the suffix, the semantics of the verbal stem, and constructions. -
"Race and National Identity in Modernist Anthropology and Jean Toomer's 'The Blue Meridian'"
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)Jean Toomer’s seldom-discussed long poem “The Blue Meridian,” which he drafted over a long period beginning in the early 1920s, proposes an amalgamation of race and national belonging in the new type of the “American.” Seeing himself as a precursor to this new hybrid, Toomer often polemicized against the limiting logic of race. In proposing such an understanding of race in relation to nation, Toomer ... -
A Radial Category Profiling Analysis of North Sámi Ambipositions
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2014)We present a study of four North Sámi adpositions that can be used as both prepositions and postpositions and thus be termed “ambipositions”. We advance three hypotheses concerning 1) dialectal differences in use of ambipositions in North Sámi, 2) differences between their use as prepositions and postpositions, and 3) a possible typological correlation between the frequency of ambipositions and ... -
Raeding with the fingres: Towards a universal model of letter position coding
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-01)Letter position coding in word recognition has been widely investigated in the visual modality (e.g., labotarory is confusable with laboratory), but not as much in the tactile modality using braille, leading to an incomplete understanding of whether this process is modality-dependent. Unlike sighted readers, braille readers do not show a transposed-letter similarity effect with nonadjacent transpositions ... -
A Rare Structure at the Syntax-Discourse Interface: Heritage and Spanish-Dominant Native Speakers Weigh In.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-03-03)The present study examines knowledge of the discourse-appropriateness of Clitic Right Dislocation (CLRD) in a population of Heritage (HS) and Spanish-dominant Native Speakers in order to test the predictions of the Interface Hypothesis (IH; Sorace 2011). The IH predicts that speakers in language contact situations will experience difficulties with integrating information involving the interface ... -

Reader as Witness: First-Person Perpetrators of Political Violence in Contemporary Literature
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-08-16)Twenty-first century novels increasingly portray twentieth-century histories of violence in a way that implicates readers: as keepers of public memory, as complicit in ongoing political violence, and even as potential perpetrators. These novels target a global readership and treat the recollections of past atrocities and the prevention of future ones as a global responsibility. This essay describes ... -
Reading outcomes in children with developmental language disorder: A person-centered approach
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-22)Background and aims: Many children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) develop reading difficulties. The purpose of this study is to better understand variation in the reading outcomes of children with DLD using a personcentered approach.<p> <p>Method: 87 monolingual Dutch children diagnosed with DLD performed at ages 5 or 6 years nine tests of nonverbal IQ, oral language proficiency, ... -
Reading without phonology: ERP evidence from skilled deaf readers of Spanish
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-04)Reading typically involves phonological mediation, especially for transparent orthographies with a regular letter to sound correspondence. In this study we ask whether phonological coding is a necessary part of the reading process by examining prelingually deaf individuals who are skilled readers of Spanish. We conducted two EEG experiments exploiting the pseudohomophone efect, in which nonwords ... -

Rearticulating the experience of war in 'Eine Frau in Berlin'
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)Situating itself in the field of cultural memory studies, this article traces the slow emergence in German historical discourse of the narrative of an anonymous German woman who survived the Soviet occupation of Berlin in 1945. I will, firstly, conceptualize the historical condition of the Anonyma as a precarious liminal sphere of transition between competing sovereignties that dislodged her political ... -
Recent advances in Apertium, a free/open-source rule-based machine translation platform for low-resource languages
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-08)This paper presents an overview of Apertium, a free and open-source rule-based machine translation platform. Translation in Apertium happens through a pipeline of modular tools, and the platform continues to be improved as more language pairs are added. Several advances have been implemented since the last publication, including some new optional modules: a module that allows rules to process recursive ... -
Recent Semantic Changes for the Term "Digital"
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)The term digital originates from the Latin word for finger/counting and has for many years been used to denote discrete signals and information, as opposed to analog. Discrete representation is an important principle, not only in computers, but also for (printed) text, music scores and even our genes. Recently however, the use of the term has increased and the meaning expanded to include almost ... -
Recycling in Babel: The Impact of Foreign Languages in Rule Learning
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-27)Environmental decisions and prosocial behaviors have been shown to be emotionally mediated, and language is at the core of emotions. The language context can alter the way decisions are made, and using a foreign language tends to favor an analytic approach to the decision and reduce its emotional resonance. In the present work, we explored whether or not the strategic use of a native vs. a non-native ... -
Redefining bilingualism as a spectrum of experiences that differentially affects brain structure and function
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-03-26)Learning and using an additional language is shown to have an impact on the structure and function of the brain, including in regions involved in cognitive control and the connections between them. However, the available evidence remains variable in terms of the localization, extent, and trajectory of these effects. Variability likely stems from the fact that bilingualism has been routinely ... -
