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 ... -

A set of confirmatory research questions are addressed using data from the Calgary Semantic Decision ... -

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 ... -

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 ... -

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 ... -

Prohibitive constructions in Russian: Families and clusters
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2021)In this study we explore the relationships of constructions in families and clusters. We examine fifty-seven multi-word Russian grammatical constructions that encode prohibitive semantics and model them as a radial category network that consists of two distinct clusters formed by eleven families of constructions. We show that each cluster of families is centered around a local prototype. The data ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-01)In this paper we will discuss the notion of prominence in morphology by reviewing how morphological heads are defined through their prominence at different levels. After outlining the main issues and, specially, the problems posed by heads in morphology, we consider how prominence and headedness are dealt with in two different influential contemporary theories: Minimalism and Construction Morphology. ... -

(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)When moving the discussion from VR-based interactive fiction to non-fiction genres such as immersive journalism, several issues of critical concern come to the fore: 1) How can the informants (or, indeed, the objects) of the immersive experiences implied by 360-degree journalism be adequately protected and how can they be properly included in the projects realized in their life worlds? 2) Which ... -
