      Hansen, Arve (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Much has been said and written about the Ukrainian revolution of 2013–14, yet research on Maidan Nezalezhnosti, the protests’ most iconic location, has thus far been rather limited. This article analyses the history, attributes and symbolism of this particular city space. What function does Maidan have in the Ukrainian society?

    • Making a difference – ausbau processes in Modern Written Finnish and Kven: How a group of loanwords marks a divergence between the Kven language and Modern Written Finnish 

      Niiranen, leena (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-26)

In this article, ausbau processes are illustrated by comparing the use of eera verbs, a group constituting international and Scandinavian loanwords in the two languages. Most ...

    • Making choices in Russian: pros and cons of statistical methods for rival forms 

      Baayen, R. Harald; Endresen, Anna; Janda, Laura Alexis; Makarova, Anastasia; Nesset, Tore (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Sometimes languages present speakers with choices among rival forms, such as the Russian forms ostrič’ vs. obstrič’ ‘cut hair’ and proniknuv vs. pronikši ‘having penetrated’. The choice of a given form is often influenced by various considerations involving the meaning and the environment (syntax, morphology, phonology). Understanding the behavior of rival forms is crucial to understanding the ...

    • Manufacturing Consent in Video Games—The Hegemonic Memory Politics of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (2015) 

      Lundedal Hammar, Emil (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-11-11)
      In this article I argue that the structural conditions of global capitalism and postcolonialism encourage game developers to rearticulate hegemonic memory politics and suppress subaltern identities. This claim is corroborated via an application of Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky’s propaganda model to the Japanese-developed video game Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. This case study highlights ...

      Egeberg, Erik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2005)
      In M. Ju.

This paper offers a brief analysis of the phenomenon and its function in the structure of the novel.
