The Tale of Two Lexicons: Decomposing Complexity across a Distributed Lexicon
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-10)The notion of complexity is evasive and often left to intuition, yet it is often invoked when studying heritage language grammars. In this article, we propose a first pass at decomposing the notion of complexity into smaller components in a formal grammatical model. In particular, we argue that a distributed model of the lexicon (i.e., one that assumes that principles that generate both words and ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-02)This study explores the temporal dynamics of language use, collaboration, and creativity in the case of a start-up weekend. The organisation of interaction in time and the use of temporal indexes and semiotic resources vary over time, not simply because of changing contextual conditions, but rather because of dynamic developments in the flow of time. Interacting in time, the participants appropriate ... -

Tarjei Vesaas’ Vårnatt : en nylesning
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2011-11)Denne mastergradsavhandlingen presenterer en lesning av Tarjei Vesaas’ roman Vårnatt (1954). Analysen problematiserer den utbredte tolkningen av romanen som en initieringsroman, der den unge hovedpersonen Hallsteins møte med de fremmede gjestene fører til en utvikling fra barn til voksen. Jeg mener at mye mer er i spill i Vårnatt, og at et slikt fokus virker forenklende på romanen. Med utgangspunkt ... -

Drawing upon Stuart Hall’s encoding/decoding model, we show how aspects of production, form, reception, and reproduction can be approached in school contexts to treat audio-visual media as more than allegedly neutral ... -

"Tegnets tilsynekomst" : ekfrase og poetologi i Astrid Hjertenæs Andersens lyrikk
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2012-05-15)I dei fleste norske litteraturhistorier blir Astrid Hjertenæs Andersen omtala som ein av dei viktigaste etterkrigsforfattarane saman med mellom anna Paal Brekke og Gunvor Hofmo. Samstundes blir det like ofte nemnd at ho har ein tendens til å bli litt borte i skuggene.

Terminology matters on theoretical grounds too!: Coherent grammars cannot be incomplete
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-04)Herein, we provide counterargumentation to some of Domínguez, Hicks, and Slabakova's claims that the term <i>incomplete acquisition</i> is conceptually necessary on theoretical grounds for describing the outcome grammars of heritage language bilingualism. Specifically, we clarify their claim that previous challenging of the term in our and others’ work is primarily based on a misconceived belief ...
