(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023-08-15)<p>Samuli Paulaharju was a Finnish ethnographer who visited the Kven minority in Northern Norway – Ruija – in the 1920s and 1930s.

Heritage language development and processing: Non-canonical word orders in Mandarin-English child heritage speakers
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023-09-18)Previous research suggests that child HSs’ performance in offline linguistic tasks is typically worse than their age-matched monolingual peers and is modulated by linguistic and child-level factors. This study examined the comprehension and production of three Mandarin non-canonical structures in 5- to 9-year-old Mandarin–English heritage children and Mandarin-speaking monolingual children, including ... -
Experience of discrimination in egalitarian societies: the Sámi and majority populations in Sweden and Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-29)The Sámi people stand out as the only Indigenous minority in an egalitarian European context, namely the Nordic Countries. Therefore, inequalities that they may face are worth closer inspection. Drawing on the distinction between inequalities among individuals (vertical) and between groups (horizontal), we investigate how different types of inequalities affect the Sámi today. We formulate a series ... -
Por qué vienen palabras (complejas) en los diccionarios.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-27)Una dificultad aparente para cualquier sistema que proponga procedimientos generativos en la formación de palabras es el hecho de que los diccionarios deben incluir muy frecuentemente algunas palabras complejas incluso cuando no tienen valores idiosincrásicos. Este artículo argumenta que el problema se disuelve cuando se atiende a dos hechos gramaticales: la selección se produce de un núcleo a ... -
“Threat” in Russian–A Linguistic Perspective
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-08)The present study explores a frequent concept in modern media discourse, namely “threat,” based on a corpus analysis of the two Russian nouns groza and ugroza from 1800 to 2020. We show that the two words share a network of submeanings, but that they have different centers of gravity in the network. We identify four submeanings and suggest that the distribution of the two words has changed over ... -
Two Nominal Clause-Types in Northern Mansi: An Experimental Study of Language Variation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-10)The paper examines the structure and distribution of two types of nominal/adjectival predicates in the Northern Mansi language. A nominative noun or adjective serves as the predicate in one construction. The other predicate type contains a predicate noun or adjective that takes translative case marking. In both constructions, the stative-like copula ōl- ’be, exist’ can also appear, though ... -

Literature as Self-Scrutiny. An Examination of Franz Kafka's "A Hunger Artist"
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-29)The point of departure for this article is Peter U. Beicken's description of Franz Kafka's distinctive narrative rhetoric. It examines the extent to which Beicken's description can be applied to Kafka's short text "A Hunger Artist". The article argues that Beicken's description is relevant to the understanding of this text, but that this particular text also deviates from his description in interesting ... -
Rhetoric and the Creation of Space. The Utterance in Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's "Wandrers Nachtlied II" and Rainer Maria Rilke's "Herbst"
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-29)This article attempts to make sense of the speaker in Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s «Wandrers Nachtlied II» and Rainer Maria Rilke’s «Herbst». It starts from the observation that the utterance in both poems combines a rhetorical function with a space-creating function, and that both functions participate in the poem’s organization as a communicative act in decisive ways. My conclusion is that the ... -

Misspelled logotypes: the hidden threat to brand identity
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-19)Brand names are valuable company assets often accompanied by a unique graphical composition (i.e., as logotypes). Recent research has demonstrated that this uniqueness makes brand names and logotypes susceptible to counterfeiting through misspelling by transposition in tasks that require participants to identify correct spellings. However, our understanding of how brand names are incidentally ... -

Establishing the significance of cultural representations for politics and collective memory, I first locate both films in their historical and cultural contexts before I offer analyses that focus on the representation of US and British soldiers, Iraqi insurgents, ... -
Sakpoesi. En linje i nyere norsk litteratur
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-29)At romaner og skuespill kan ha dokumentariske tendenser er allment kjent, men hva med dikt? Mange forbinder lyrikk med sansning eller følelse framfor analyse, tenkning eller sak. Med utgangspunkt i diktsamlinger av Rune Tuverud, Markus Midré, Espen Stueland og andre diskuteres «sakpoesien», slik den har vokst fram i norsk litteratur fra 1990-tallet og framover. Hva er forholdet mellom det estetiske ...
