Prediction in bilingual sentence processing: How prediction differs in a later learned language from a first language
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-27)This review provides an update on what we know about differences in prediction in a first and second language after several years of extensive research. It shows when L1/L2 differences are most likely to occur and provides an explanation as to why they occur. For example, L2 speakers may capitalize more on semantic information for prediction than L1 speakers, or possibly they do not make predictions ... -
Prefix variation as a challenge to Russian aspectual pairs : are завязнуть and увязнуть ‘get stuck’ the same or different?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)Two key issues in Russian linguistics are the traditional assumptions that (a) the aspect system presents ‘pairs’ of verbs that are perfective vs. imperfective, and that (b) since the lexical meanings of the two verbs that form a pair are identical, the affix that marks aspect has no semantic content. In relation to prefixed perfectives, this approach can be called the Empty Prefix Hypothesis. The ... -
Prefixed negation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-08-22)All over Scandinavia the negative prefix o/u/ó [1] productively attaches to passive participles (and to some extent to adjectives as well), just like e.g. un in English (as in unwashed). In the northern parts of the Swedish speaking area, o can attach to active past participles (the socalled supine) as well. In the ScanDiaSyn survey, we investigated to what extent o prefixation to active ... -
Prepositional phrases and case in North American (heritage) Icelandic
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-15)The paper investigates the use of PPs, specifically prepositions and the case marking on their DP arguments, in moribund North American (heritage) Icelandic (NAmIce), using data from a map task experiment. Since prepositional phrases combine semantic properties with morphosyntactic properties, PPs allow us to investigate the relative vulnerability of both domains at once. Our results show that ... -
Prepositions in Krio
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2006)This paper is part of Peter Svenonius’ Adposition Seminar at the University of Tromsø which was taught in 2005-2006. The main focus was the distinction between locative path and locative place constructions. The aim of this paper is descriptive in nature and focuses on the complete prepositional system of Krio, an English-based Creole language spoken in Sierra Leone. The paper starts with a general ... -
Prepositions with CP and their implications for extended projections
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-08)In some limited cases, English allows a particular preposition to combine with a certain kind of subordinate clause, as exemplified by <i>in that</i> in “I take the proposal seriously, in that I loathe it”. In contrast, Norwegian systematically allows prepositions to combine with subordinate clauses (as in <i>Det resulterte i at vi vant</i>, literally “It resulted in that we won”). I argue that the ... -
Preregistration: The interplay between linguistic and embodied systems in conceptual processing
(Preprint; Manuskript, 2021)This preregistration outlines a study that will investigate the dynamic nature of conceptual processing by examining the interplay between linguistic distributional systems—comprising word co-occurrence and word association—and embodied systems—comprising sensorimotor and emotional information. A set of confirmatory research questions are addressed using data from the Calgary Semantic Decision ... -
Presens partisipp i mellomnorske diplom
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-26)I artikkelen beskrives bruken av presens partisipp i mellomnorsk, og denne bruken sammenliknes med norrøn folkelig og lærd stil. Undersøkelsen bygger på 3208 diplom fra tidsrommet 1350–1524 med i alt 2804 forekomster av presens partisipp. Substantiverte presens partisipp beskrives kortfatta, og den sjeldne adverbiale bruken av slike partisipp registreres, men hovedfokus er på den forholdsvis utbredte ... -
Prezidentskie vybory vs. vybory prezidenta: how to choose?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-24)We present three case studies of the distribution of adjective + head noun (‘adjective’) vs. head noun + noun-genitive (‘genitive’) constructions based on datasets extracted from the Russian National Corpus. Each case study focuses on a different set of non-head referents: case study 1 examines non-heads that are country names (like ‘Norway’ as in <i>norvežskij</i> N vs. N <i>Norvegii</i>), case ... -
Pristavki v svete kognitivnoj lingvistiki i tipologii: otklik na stat’ju A.A. Zaliznjak i I.L. Mikaèljan
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)В статье [Янда 2012] предлагается рассматривать глагольные приставки в русском языке как систему с глагольными классификаторами. В ответной статье [Зализняк, Микаэлян 2012] крити- куется подход, теория когнитивной лингвистики, в рамках которой было высказано предположе- ние, и данные, на основе которых были сделаны выводы. В следующем отклике рассматривается одно из важных отличий теории когнитивной ... -
A Probabilistic and Syntactic Account of Variable Clitic Agreement in Spanish Double Object Constructions
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-12)In Spanish clitic-doubling constructions, the clitic should agree in number with its coreferential doubled noun phrase. However, the present corpus analysis with data from 21 Spanish varieties reveals that, under certain structural configurations, number agreement is not always realized on the third-person dative clitic. In fact, the data shows that non-agreement appears to be the norm when the ... -
Problems and questions in derived adjectives
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)This article overviews the main questions that emerge from cross-linguistic analysis of morphologically complex adjectives. It is discussed that the problems arise from the fact that it is difficult to identify any positive properties of adjectives capable of singling them out with respect to other categories. Thus, what has been classified as a derived adjective frequently is a version of the base ... -
Problemy izucenija severnorusskogo slova DAK: dostizenija i nedostatki
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2002)The word dak is one of several highly frequent particles, used in most Northern Russian and some Siberian dialects. It can occur sentence initially, sentence internally and sentence finally to connect two parts of the discourse, such as words, sentences, and presuppositions. This article describes the advantages and shortcomings of six different perspectives which have been used to describe ... -

Processing Code-Switches in the Presence of Others: An ERP Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-26)Code-switching is highly socially constrained. For instance, code-switching is only felicitous when those present are fluent in both languages. This means that bilinguals need to dynamically adjust their language control and expectation of code-switching to the current social situation or context. The aim of the present EEG study was to investigate how and when language control in the comprehension ... -
The processing of bilingual (switched) compound verbs: Competition of words from different categories for lexical selection
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-09)This paper investigates the production of Persian–English bilingual compound verbs (BCVs) of the type [VERB+VERB]. In this type of code-switched structure, a lexical verb from the donor language English is combined with a light verb from the native language Persian. We tested the hypothesis that in Persian–English BCVs English verbs occupy the nominal slots of monolingual Persian complex predicates ... -
Productivity and the acquisition of gender
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-04)Children's differing learning trajectories cross-linguistically have been at the forefront of gender acquisition research, often with conflicting results and conclusions. As a result, the source of children's different learning behaviors in gender acquisition has been unclear. I argue that children's gender acquisition is driven by the search for productive patterns. First, I provide corpus studies ... -
