The Holographic Principle: Typological analysis using lower dimensions
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018)A moderately complex factorial typology may consist of tens or hundreds of languages which can opaquely encode linguistically salient categories and generalizations. We propose in this paper that these complex typologies can be decomposed and understood using what we call the holographic principle: a large typology can be projected onto simplified versions of itself which can be completely ... -

Homelessness, Displacement and Identity: Open City and Home
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-09-20)Abstract This thesis sets out to explore the themes of homelessness, displacement and identity in two contemporary novels: Marilynne Robinson’s Home (2008) and Teju Cole’s Open City (2011). My method involves comparing how temporality (time), space/place and its effects on subjectivity work as means to enhance an understanding of a “homeless” or hybrid condition that is evident both in the immensity ... -

Hovuddrag i utviklinga av norsk ordlaging
(Chapter; Bokkapittel; Peer reviewed, 2014)Ordlaging fører til endringar i ordtilfanget, men det er forska lite på korleis sjølve ordlagingssystemet endrar seg (jf. Munske 2002: 23). Denne forsøminga er til dels ein konsekvens av dreiinga som skjedde innanfor språkvitskapen i førre hundreåret mot meir strukturalistisk-synkrone tilnærmingar (jf. sst.). Målet med denne artikkelen er å skissera nokre av hovudlinene som norsk ordlaging har utvikla ... -
How (not) to look for meaning composition in the brain: A reassessment of current experimental paradigms
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-10)When we use language, we draw on a finite stock of lexical and functional meanings and grammatical structures to assign meanings to expressions of arbitrary complexity. According to the Principle of Compositionality, the meanings of complex expressions are a function of constituent meanings and syntax, and are generated by the recursive application of one or more composition operations. Given ... -

How Russian became Typologically Unusual: the History of Russian Temporal Adverbials with v ‘in(to)’
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)The present study investigates the relationship between historical linguistics and language typology in Russian temporal adverbials. It is argued that temporal adverbials with v ‘in(to)’ are typologically unusual, since they are at variance with Leonard Talmy’s generalization that the semantics of closed-class elements tend to be magnitude-neutral (“topological”), rather than magnitude-sensitive ... -
How to quantify bilingual experience? Findings from a Delphi consensus survey
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-04)While most investigations of bilingualism document participants’ language background, there is an absence of consensus on how to quantify bilingualism. The high number of different language background questionnaires used by researchers and practitioners jeopardises data comparability and cross-pollination between research and practice. Using the Delphi consensus survey method, we asked 132 ... -

How to Translate Compounds into Russian?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-29)The present study contributes to contrastive Germanic-Slavic linguistics through an empirical investigation of Norwegian compounds and corresponding constructions in Russian. First, it is demonstrated that five Russian constructions function as frequent equivalents of Norwegian compounds: simplex word, adjective+noun, noun+noun in the genitive, noun+prepositional phrase, and compound. Second, it is ... -
How Wide the Divide? – Theorizing ‘Constructions’ in Generative and Usage-Based Frameworks
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-26)What is the nature and function of mental representations in cognitive science, and in human language in particular? How do they come into existence and interact, and how is the information attributed to them stored in and retrieved from the human mind? Some theories treat constructions as primitive entities used for structure-building, central in both production and comprehension, while other ... -

We analyze data from the Russian National Corpus and data from Russian TV news broadcasts. On the basis of the corpus data, we propose a radial category network consisting of nine subcategories, which encompass all five words, ... -
Humanity on the move in the era of Enlightenment and colonisation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-14)In modern times, since commerce is so much extended, that people in very distant parts of the world, have an almost constant communication with one another, we have much better access to know the different circumstances which can affect men in different situations … [and] has produced a very considerable effect in enlarging our ideas on this subject. -

«Hva sier vi når vi sier jeg?» En studie av estetikk og performativitet i den selvframstillende litteraturen, med særlig vekt på skambegrepet i Karl Ove Knausgårds "Min kamp"
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2014-05-15)Den selvframstillende litteraturen har de siste par tiårene fått ny aktualitet. Særlig i Skandinavia har vi sett en tendens til at flere og flere forfattere har vendt seg bort fra fiksjonen og begynt å skrive om seg selv. Fenomenet spenner vidt, men kjennetegnes særlig av eksperimentering med form, sjanger og språk, samt et tydelig og personlig jeg. I tillegg reiser den ofte en rekke spørsmål knyttet ... -
"Hvem pokker gider bli spiritist": Arne Garborgs möte med spiritismen
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-03)Artikeln utgör en idéhistorisk undersökning av Arne Garborgs intresse för spiritismen under 1890-talets första hälft. Artikeln argumenterar för att Garborg anlägger samma förhållningssätt till spiritismen som den samtida parapsykologin i det att han söker ge en naturlig förklaring till de fenomen som rapporteras från spiritistiska seanser. Garborgs uppmärksammande av spiritismen sätts vidare i ...
