Events always take (place with) ser
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-21)The present study aims to throw light on the behavior of the Spanish copulas ser and estar in locative sentences, beyond their classical distinction in terms of Individual-Level (IL) versus Stage-Level (SL) predicates.

Children’s acquisition of word order variation: A study of subject placement in embedded clauses in Norwegian
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-29)Norwegian embedded clauses give children two options for subject placement: preceding or following negation (S-Neg/Neg-S). In the adult language, S-Neg is the ‘default’ and highly frequent option, and Neg-S is infrequent in children’s input. However, Neg-S may be argued to be the structurally less complex. We investigate whether children are aware of the existence of both subject positions, and ... -

Voice Markers in Septuagint Greek in the Light of Hebrew Interference: A Corpus-Based Study on the Aorist System of the Book of Genesis*

Samuel Hearne, The Denesuline, and The Beaver: Zoology and Its Effect in an Early Canadian Natural-Cultural Contact Zone
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-24)Recent scholarship on Samuel Hearne's A Journey to the Northern Ocean (1795) has highlighted how Hearne's journey of exploration functioned to demonstrate the Hudson's Bay Company's strategic geopolitical worth, obscure the violence of its colonialist enterprise, and generate images of an empty North conducive to colonial settlement.
