Literature is an institution per se, as is justice, and these two institutions enact each other in complex ways. Justice appears in many forms from divine right and religious ordainment to metaphysical imperative and natural law, to national jurisdiction, social order, human rights, and civil disobedience. What is just and right has varied in time and place, in war and peace. A sense of justice ...

An online dictionary and language technology for Kven language have been developed in a collaborative project between the Kven Institute and Giellatekno at UiT The Arctic University of Norway. Sources for the material are older texts and learning material that are available for the public. Several hundred hours of spoken material in old recordings, however, have still not been used.

Iscenesettelsen av kulturarv, fortelling og etnisk identitet åpner for dynamiske ...

Depending on the theory of language employed, the paradigmatic and lexical variation associated with a given composite form-meaning pair is treated in different ways. First, variation can be treated as independent of the constructional semantics, an approach typical of modular theories. Second, paradigmatic variation can be considered indicative of constructional semantics; its variation constituting ...

Theories of sentence planning (Linear vs. Hierarchical Incrementality) differ in their assumptions about how much conceptual information speakers require to initiate linguistic encoding. This picture description study tested whether speakers’ selection of starting points for their sentences is influenced by the availability of information about a referent (perceptual accessibility) and by ...

If we envision the human as a handyman engaged in technical engineering, we can comprehend the development of AI, Artificial Intelligence, as part of a ...
