Authenticity – an important property for artistic documents?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-01)The notion of authenticity seems to have grown more and more important for artistic documents during the last decades. Critics are using the term as a kind of distinction; an authentic novel or film is a good novel or film. Authenticity in these cases does not mean questioning the novel or film as an original work of art; rather, what is meant by authenticity is the relationship between reality and ... -
Libraries and the Establishment of a Sámi Political Sphere
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12)The first Sámi newspaper, Sagai Muitalæggje, was established in 1903, and in 1906 the first Sámi was elected to the Norwegian parliament. Through these two events, the Sámi (the indigenous population of Norway) had their own voice heard and achieved political influence in the public sphere for the first time. What was the role and significance of libraries in this process? Anders Larsen, the editor ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015)Die in der Schule als zweite Fremdsprachen gelernten Sprachen sind in Norwegen als Universitätsfächer in der Krise, darunter Deutsch.

Gleichzeitig ruft die Wirtschaft in Norwegen nach Fachkräften, die gut Deutsch können und diese ... -

Digital Film Preservation: The Search for the Original
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-12)The transition from photochemical to digital has without doubt profoundly affected filmmaking and film distribution. But digitization also has consequences to the preservation and exhibition of films produced in the analogue era. The advantages of digitization of film are obvious: the audience gets easy access to a digital copy and, at the same time, the photochemical original (or what is left ... -

Etternamnssystemet i bygd og by på slutten av 1800-talet - ei samanlikning av Hamar, Stange og Romedal
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-07)I denne artikkelen vil eg samanlikne etternamnssystemet i Hamar, Stange og Romedal slik det var på slutten av 1800-talet. Ettersom Hamar er ein by, og Stange og Romedal landkommunar, vil denne un-dersøkinga samtidig innebera ei kontrastering mellom bygd og by (jf. overskrifta). -
Byron´s Corsair and the Boundaries of Sympathy
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-02)Contemporary reviewers of Byron’s work often noted his skill in cultivating sympathy for outlaw figures – a skill that was admired, but also worried over since it implied sympathy’s independence from a moral code. Recent scholarship about sympathy in the Romantic period has not focused much on Byron, but this essay highlights acomplexity and originality in his invocation of sympathy that has been ... -

Krigen i Ukraina: det språklege bakteppet
(Chronicle; Kronikk, 2022)Når den russiske presidenten hevdar at Ukraina høyrer heime i det russiske imperiet, viser han mellom anna til språklege tilhøve. Ukrainsk er ikkje noko eige språk, blir det sagt. Dei færraste språkvetarar vil vere samde i dette. La oss sjå nærmare på dei faktiske forholda. Korleis er slektskapen mellom ukrainsk og russisk? Kor ulike er dei to språka? Korleis har forholdet mellom ukrainsk og russisk ... -
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 ... -
Individual differences in bilingual word recognition: The role of experiential factors and word frequency in cross-language lexical priming
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-22)In studies of bilingual word recognition with masked priming, first language (L1) primes activate their second language (L2) translation equivalents in lexical decision tasks, but effects in the opposite direction are weaker (Wen & van Heuven, 2017). This study seeks to clarify the relative weight of stimulus-level (frequency) and individual-level (L2 proficiency, L2 exposure/use) factors in the ... -
It Takes a Village: Using Network Science to Identify the Effect of Individual Differences in Bilingual Experience for Theory of Mind
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-09)An increasing amount of research has examined the effects of bilingualism on performance in theory of mind (ToM) tasks. Bilinguals outperform monolinguals in ToM when comparing groups. However, it is unclear what aspects of the bilingual experience contribute to this effect in a dynamic construct like ToM. To date, bilingualism has been conceptualized as a dichotic skill that is distinct from ... -
Future directions in examining neurological adaptation to bilingual experiences
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-16)In recent years, research examining the neurocognitive effects of bilingualism has undergone a shift in focus towards examining the neurocognitive effects of individual differences within specific aspects of language experience. The DeLuca et al study advances this direction in showing a specificity of neural adaptations to separate aspects of language experience. However, this approach is an early ... -
Documentation, Information and the Animal Connection
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-12)The article elaborates on the informational relationship between nature, animals and humans. In traditional societies, nature and animals are rich sources of information and documentation, as seen in Sámi reindeer husbandry. Today, research on animal behaviour has shown that animals are capable of sophisticated communication with humans. In the field of documentation and information studies, Marcia ...
