Critical representation of neoliberal capitalism and uneven development in Tsitsi Dangarembga’s This Mournable Body
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-11)This article focuses on Tsitsi Dangarembga’s novel This Mournable Body (2018), which completes her trilogy on Tambudzai Sigauke’s life story in relation to the neoliberal political order in contemporary Zimbabwe. The country has been recently referred to as cultivating ultra-neoliberal policies, and, in such a framework, state repression becomes replaced by state negligence towards citizens’ ... -
Cross-linguistic effects in grammatical gender assignment and predictive processing in L1 Greek, L1 Russian, and L1 Turkish speakers of Norwegian as a second language
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-03-21)The present study examines grammatical gender knowledge in offline production (gender marking on indefinite articles) and online gender processing (visual world paradigm) in adult second language (L2) learners of Norwegian with three different first languages (L1s): Greek, Russian, and Turkish. In particular, it investigates the role of the following factors: (1) presence vs. absence of grammatical ... -
Cross-linguistic influence in bilingual grammars: Evidence from gender assigment in unilingual Dutch and mixed speech
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022)This study reports on grammatical gender assignment in elicited production data from heritage speakers of Turkish, Papiamento, and Spanish in the Netherlands. We selectively target the nominal domain, consisting of a determiner, a noun, and an adjective. Previous studies have demonstrated gender to be vulnerable in bilingual acquisition (e.g., Gathercole & Thomas 2005; Mitrofanova et al. 2018). The ... -
Cross-linguistic Influence in Child L3 English: An Empirical Study on Russian-German Heritage Bilinguals
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-27)Aims and objectives: This empirical study investigates variables affecting crosslinguistic influence (CLI) in child third language (L3) acquisition. We examine whether structural or typological similarity leads to CLI from one or both of the previously acquired languages at later stages of acquisition. <p>Design/methodology: We compare Russian-German heritage bilinguals acquiring L3 English to ... -
Cross-Linguistic Influence on L2 Before and After Extreme Reduction in Input: The Case of Japanese Returnee Children
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-18)This study investigates the choice of genitive forms (the woman’s book vs. the book of the woman) in the English of Japanese-English bilingual returnees (i.e., children who returned from a second language dominant environment to their first language environment). The specific aim was to examine whether change in language dominance/exposure influences choice of genitive form in the bilingual children; ... -
Cross-linguistic similarities and differences in bilingual acquisition and attrition: Possessives and double definiteness in Norwegian heritage language
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-07-10)This study investigates possessives and modified definite DPs in a corpus of heritage Norwegian spoken in the US. Both constructions involve variation in Norwegian – two word orders for possessives (pre- and postnominal) and two exponents of definiteness (a prenominal determiner and a suffix) – while English only has one of these options. The findings show that a large majority of the heritage ... -

Crosslinguistic influence in L3 acquisition across linguistic modules
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-08)In this study, we investigated crosslinguistic influence (CLI) at developmental stages of third language (L3) acquisition of English by Russian–Norwegian children (N = 31). We tested seven linguistic properties within three linguistic modules (morphology, syntax and syntax-semantics). We compared the L3 learners to Norwegian (N = 90) and Russian (N = 74) second language (L2) learners of English. We ... -
Crosslinguistic influence in L3 acquisition: Evidence from artificial language learning
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-10)This study investigates the role of lexical vs structural similarity in L3 acquisition. We designed a mini-artificial language learning task where the novel L3 was lexically based on Norwegian but included a property that was present in Russian and Greek yet absent in Norwegian (grammatical case). The participants were Norwegian-Russian and Norwegian-Greek bilinguals as well as a group of Norwegian ... -
Crosslinguistic influence in the acquisition of a third language: The Linguistic Proximity Model
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-19)Aims and Objectives:<br>The main goal of the present study is to investigate effects of crosslinguistic influence in third language acquisition by simultaneous bilinguals. We address the following research questions: Do both languages contribute to crosslinguistic influence in third language acquisition, or is one of them chosen as the sole source of influence? Is crosslinguistic influence always ... -
A cue-based approach to the acquisition of grammatical gender in Russian
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)This article discusses the acquisition of gender in Russian, focusing on some exceptional subclasses of nouns that display a mismatch between semantics and morphology. Experimental results from twenty-five Russian-speaking monolinguals (age 2;6–4;0) are presented and, within a cue-based approach to language acquisition, we argue that children rely on certain morphosyntactic micro-cues in the course ... -
Cues and economy in the acquisition of verb movement
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2004)In this paper we will discuss how economy principles interact with cues in the input in bilingual first language acquisition. We will look at the acquisition of verb placement in a child acquiring English and Norwegian simultaneously. Based on data from this child, it will be argued that when faced with ambiguous cues with respect to the verb movement parameter, children do not necessarily adopt the ... -
Cues and expressions
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2004)A number of European languages have undergone a change from object-verb to verb-object order. We focus on the change in English and Icelandic, showing that while the structural change was the same, it took place at different times and different ways in the two languages, triggered by different E-language changes. As seen from the English viewpoint, low-level facts of inflection morphology may express ... -

Current issues and directions in Optimality Theory — Constraints and their interaction
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2018)This chapter provides a detailed outline of the types of constraint interaction that have been proposed by phonologists working in Optimality Theory (OT), demonstrating that constraints can be organized and interact in a wide variety of ways. It addresses the issue of the content or formalization of constraints, including functional grounding. OT was conceived as a generative theory of constraint ... -
Cyclic feeding interactions between finite-state mal-rules: an algorithm for the optimal grouping and ordering of morphophonological mal-rules
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-30)Intelligent Language Tutoring Systems typically attempt to automatically diagnose learner errors in order to provide individualized feedback. One common approach is the use of mal-rules to extend normative grammars by licensing specific types of learner errors. In finite-state morphologies, mal-rules can be implemented as two-level rules or replace rules. However, unlike the phonological rules of ... -

“Cyclic” time in the history of Russian. Culture and language internal factors
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-10-14)This article offers a diachronic analysis of the concept of “cyclic” time in Russian, more specifically of temporal adverbials such as <i>utrom</i> ‘in the morning’ and <i>vesnoj</i> ‘in the spring’ that refer to the diurnal and annual temporal cycles in nature. It is argued that evidence from diachrony bears on important theoretical questions: Is the sensitivity to “cyclic” time in language due to ... -
