Complex onsets and coda markedness in Persian
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-30)This paper argues for the Coda Condition to be a universal set of violable constraints on the basis of new vowel epenthesis data from Persian (Farsi). Vowel insertion in L2 phonology, loanwords, and nonce-words is driven by a strict ban on consonant clusters in syllable onsets. The choice between anaptyxis and prothesis is determined by the Coda Condition. As there is no detectable evidence for ... -
Incidental vocabulary learning with subtitles in a new language: Orthographic markedness and number of exposures
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-16)The present study is set to explore the way the orthographic distributional properties of novel written words and the number of exposures to these words affect their incidental learning in terms of recall and recognition. To that end, two experiments were conducted using videos with captions. These videos included written nonwords (orthographically marked language-specific items) and pseudowords ... -
The Influence of L2 Proficiency on Bilinguals' Creativity: The Key Role of Adaptive Emotion Regulation Strategies During the COVID-19 Pandemic
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-01)The COVID-19 pandemic has brought severe impact on language learners' emotional states and their performance in creativity. Yet, their ability to regulate emotions is crucial for everyday functioning during times of crisis. The question of how adaptive emotion regulation (ER) strategies, which help an individual maintain appropriate and stable mood states, might affect bilinguals' creativity remains ... -
Reading without phonology: ERP evidence from skilled deaf readers of Spanish
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-04)Reading typically involves phonological mediation, especially for transparent orthographies with a regular letter to sound correspondence. In this study we ask whether phonological coding is a necessary part of the reading process by examining prelingually deaf individuals who are skilled readers of Spanish. We conducted two EEG experiments exploiting the pseudohomophone efect, in which nonwords ... -
On the phantom-like appearance of bilingualism effects on neurocognition: (How) should we proceed?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-22)Numerous studies have argued that bilingualism has effects on cognitive functions. Recently, in light of increasingly mixed empirical results, this claim has been challenged. One might ponder if there is enough evidence to justify a cessation to future research on the topic or, alternatively, how the field could proceed to better understand the phantom-like appearance of bilingual effects. Herein, ... -
Omveien hjem. «Hans og Grete» i klasserommet
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-11)Artikkelen argumenterer for verdien av å arbeide hermeneutisk på en metodisk måte med litterære tekster i klasserommet. Den baserer seg på overbevisningen om at det å gjøre seg lydhør overfor et annet menneskes tankeverden er verdifullt i seg selv og dessuten at tolkningsarbeidet er uløselig forbundet med dyder som selvarbeid og selverkjennelse. Artikkelen er delt i tre hoveddeler. Først gir den ... -
Bruken av navneparene kvener – Kvenland og finner – Finland i tekster fra middelalderen. En kildekritisk gjennomgang
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-14)The article deals with the name pairs Kven and Finn(e) and Kvenland – Finland in medieval texts, on one hand in Old Norse and the other hand in Old Swedish. Scholars have traditionally thought that the ethnonym kven referred specifically to an ancient Finnish people living on both sides of the Gulf of Bothnia, and the regional name Kvenland would have meant the area inhabited by this northern people. ... -
Socioeconomic Status, Culture, and Reading Comprehension in Immigrant Students
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-19)Research on reading comprehension in immigrant students is heterogeneous and conflicting. Differences in socioeconomic status and cultural origins are very likely confounds in determining whether differences to native pupils can be attributed to immigrant status. We collected data on 312 Spanish students of Native, of Hispanic origin–therefore with the same family language as native students- ... -

Determinants of bilingualism predict dynamic changes in resting state EEG oscillations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-08)This study uses resting state EEG data from 103 bilinguals to understand how determinants of bilingualism may reshape the mind/brain. Participants completed the LSBQ, which quantifies language use and crucially the division of labor of dual-language use in diverse activities and settings over the lifespan. We hypothesized correlations between the degree of active bilingualism with power of neural ... -
Improving Language Acquisition and Processing With Cognitive Stimulation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-14)Cognitive functions are essential in human development in general, and they play a key role in language learning, as well as in reading and writing. A large body of evidence makes the relationship between executive functions and language acquisition and processing indisputable [Moser et al., 2007; Mazuka et al., 2009; Woodard et al., 2016; see also the meta-analysis by Swanson et al. (2009)]. ... -
Introduction to the Special Issue: Changing Concepts of Nature in Contemporary Scandinavian Literature and Photography
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-30)»It’s still a question of whether it’s a kind of crime – reading so much human into nature. Whether it’s our fate to do so.«1 In these lines from her novel Om mørke (2013), the Danish author Josefine Klougart alludes to one of the most important questions of our time: how might a responsible relationship be shaped between humans and nature? Is it possible to correct and rethink anthropocentric ... -
"A Discussion on Document Conceptualization,"
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)The authors discuss two conceptual frameworks of documents and documentation: Lund's complementarity theory of documentation; and Gorichanaz and Latham's framework of document phenomenology.

Bringing Materiality into Thinking about Digital Literacy: Theories and Practices of Critical Education in a Digital Age
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2021-06-10)This chapter makes a critical intervention in studies and practices of digital literacies. I argue that to become digitally literate also implies an awareness of digital technolo- gies’ material dimension, i.e., their technological affordances, economic embedding, and societal, environmental, as well as embodied effects and repercussions. After a brief walk-through of key advances in thinking about ... -
Public Libraries Worked in the Tohoku Mega-disaster
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-01)Public libraries play important roles during disaster recovery, even when other government actors fail. Libraries are centers of local information and have local knowledge. Patrons, as well as government agencies and NGOs, benefit from public libraries’ local grounding. Along with their local communities, many public libraries in the Tohoku region of Japan were severely damaged in the earthquake ... -
The Effects of Attrition on Grammatical Gender: A View from North American Icelandic
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-18)Heritage grammars have been argued to differ with respect to whether they are an instantiation of divergent attainment or attrition. Attrition and divergent attainment are not mutually exclusive and can even co-exist with respect to the same or different grammatical phenomena, but teasing these apart requires longitudinal studies or carefully selected cross-sectional data (Montrul, 2008; 2016; ... -

Immersive bilingualism reshapes the core of the brain
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-09-27)Bilingualism has been shown to affect the structure of the brain, including cortical regions related to language. Less is known about subcortical structures, such as the basal ganglia, which underlie speech monitoring and language selection, processes that are crucial for bilinguals, as well as other linguistic functions, such as grammatical and phonological acquisition and processing. ... -
Det russiske konstruktikonet: Hvordan vi bygger en database med syntaktiske konstruksjoner
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2021-06)Et konstruktikon er et stort strukturert inventar av grundig beskrevete og illustrerte konstruksjoner (Lyngfelt et al. 2018).
