    • Masked constituent priming of English compounds in native and non-native speakers 

      González Alonso, Jorge; Baquero Castellanos, Silvia; Müller, Oliver (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-19)
      The present research explores the degree of morphological structure of compound words in the native and non-native lexicons, and provides additional data on the access to these representations. Native and non-native speakers (L1 Spanish) of English were tested using a lexical decision task with masked priming of the compound’s constituents in isolation, including two orthographic conditions to control ...
    • Coming of age in L3 initial stages transfer models: Deriving developmental predictions and looking towards the future 

      González Alonso, Jorge; Rothman, Jason (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-23)
      <b>Aims: </b>Over the past decade in particular, formal linguistic work within L3 acquisition has concentrated on hypothesizing and empirically determining the source of transfer from previous languages—L1, L2 or both—in L3 grammatical representations. In view of the progressive concern with more advanced stages, we aim to show that focusing on L3 initial stages should be one continued priority of ...
    • Materialist Perspectives on Digital Technologies: Informing Debates on Digital Literacy and Competence 

      Pötzsch, Holger (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-06-15)
      The present article brings critical media research and science and technology studies (STS) into dialogue with approaches to digital literacy and digital competencies in educational contexts. In particular, it focuses on material aspects of new information and communication technologies (ICTs) such as technical infrastructure, economic conditions, ecological consequences, and code-based as well as ...
    • Assessing multilingual lexical incorporation hypotheses through a primed picture-naming task 

      González Alonso, Jorge (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      The incorporation of new representations into the mental lexicon has raised numerous questions about the organisational principles that govern the process. A number of studies have argued that similarity between the new L3 items and existing representations in the L1 and L2 is the main incorporating force (Hall & Ecke, 2003; Herwig, 2001). Experimental evidence obtained through a primed picture-naming ...
    • L3 acquisition: A focus on cognitive approaches 

      García Mayo, María del Pilar; González Alonso, Jorge (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-10-29)
      Interest in third language (L3) acquisition has increased exponentially in recent years, due to its potential to inform long-lasting debates in theoretical linguistics, language acquisition and psycholinguistics. From the very beginning, researchers investigating child and adult L3 acquisition have considered the many diverse cognitive factors that constrain and condition the initial state and ...
    • Students' Perception of Grammar Instruction. A study of the relation between students' perception of grammar instruction and their multiple intelligences 

      Rasch, Susanne Lillehaug (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-05-19)
      This thesis investigates students’ perception of grammar instruction within the English subject. I argue that although it seems to be a common belief that grammar is boring and useless, nevertheless, it seems like students find it informative and useful. The result of this study shows that the question of whether or not students enjoy working with grammar seems to be closely related and highly ...
    • Literatur und Kosmopolitismus. Am Beispiel von Ludwig Tiecks Phantasus 

      Scherer, Birgit (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-05-18)
      Im Laufe des 18. Jahrhunderts erlebte der Kosmopolitismus in Europa eine Blütezeit. Dies führte in Deutschland zu einer Kosmopolitismusdebatte, in der die Kritiker des Kosmopolitismus fürchteten, dass man die nationale Eigenart und Identität verlieren könnte, während die Befürworter im Kosmopolitismus einen positiven Beitrag zur deutschen Kultur sahen. In diesem Kontext war der künstlerisch-ästhetische ...
    • The Acquisition of Norwegian Object Shift by Ln learners 

      Didriksen, Jelena (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-05-18)
      This thesis investigates whether Ln learners of Norwegian at different stages in their acquisition are familiar with the phenomenon known as Object Shift (OS), which allows a pronominal object to move across negation in certain contexts. An object is only allowed to shift if it is an unstressed pronoun that refers back to a specific noun. Objects in the form of pronouns that refer back to a whole ...
    • Performing Female Identities: Gender Performativity in Charlotte Brontë's Villette 

      Lind-Olsen, Elin (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-05-17)
      This thesis analyzes how Charlotte Brontë uses theatrical performances as narrative techniques in her novel Villette (1853). The thesis looks at three different kinds of performances found in the novel: the On-Stage and Off-Stage acting performed by the younger focalizer in the embedded narrative, as well as the Narrative Performance that is ‘performed’ by the older narrator in the frame narrative. ...
    • The infinitival particle and phrase in Italian and English 

      Scannicchio, Grazia (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2016-05-16)
      The thesis is based upon a study of the infinitival particle and phrase in Italian and English. The main core of this study is to offer a comparison between these two languages in relation to the infinitival clause. Within this research, I consider syntactical issues such as Raising and ECM constructions in relation to the infinitival phrase in Italian and English, and to the structural difference ...
    • First Language Transfer and Second Language Proficiency: A Study of Null Subjects and Null Objects in Chinese learners’ L2 English 

      Nie, Chunyuan (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-05-15)
      Language transfer has been one of the most discussed topics in SLA for quite some time. It is known that Chinese is divergent from English in many ways. One of the cross-linguistic variation is that Chinese allows null subjects and null objects in formal context while English does not. We assume that when Chinese learners acquire English as their second language, they would meet difficulties in ...
    • Étude de sémantique cognitive pottiérienne dans le signe linguistique 

      Karlsen, Natalia Jevgenjevna Zenovskaia (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-05-14)
      Résumé La problématique du signe linguistique est très ancienne, mais toujours actuelle. Cela peut être expliqué par son lien étroit avec les questions philosophiques sur les relations entre les signes et la réalité, et avec l’activité cognitive et langagière humaine. Notre mémoire présente une synthèse objective des positionnements de Bernard Pottier sur et autour de la question du signe ...
    • The Effect of Norwegian Dyslexia Friendly Schools: The Acquisition of L2 English in 6th and 7th Grade 

      Stagelund, Annette Mygind (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-05-14)
      This research project focused on dyslexia and second language acquisition in 6th and 7th grade students attending Norwegian dyslexia friendly schools. The aim of the study was to investigate whether the dyslexia friendly schools had a positive effect on dyslexic students learning English as a second language in regard to text comprehension, oral skills, grammar and literacy. For this purpose, the ...
    • «Æ snakke i alle fall ikke gammel tromsødialekt!» En språkvitenskapelig masteravhandling om variantbruken av nektingsadverbet i tromsømålet. 

      Fiva, Maren Anna (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-05-18)
      Denne avhandlingen avdekker fordelingen av «ikke» og «ikkje» i tromsømålet. Problemstillingen for avhandlingen er utformet som tre spørsmål: 1) Hvilken variant av nektingsadverbet er vanligst hos ungdom i Tromsø, 2) Er det forskjell mellom Tromsøya og områdene rundt? og 3) Hvordan fordeler bruken av variantene seg hos de ulike kjønnene? Analysen er basert på rapportert og faktisk bruk hos 74 ungdommer. ...
    • La enseñanza del imperfecto y del indefinido en español como lengua extranjera: métodos y retos 

      Engen, Julie (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-05-12)
      In this thesis, I research the Spanish simple past, which differs from both Norwegian and English. The simple past in Spanish has two different tenses, préterito imperfecto and préterito indefinido, and the meaning of the predicate and its sentence can change because of the used tense. Teaching Spanish as a second language can therefore produce challenges, since the Norwegian and English language ...
    • La enseñanza del pretérito perfecto y del pretérito indefinido en la escuela noruega: desafíos y métodos 

      Kristjansson, Karoline (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-05-12)
      I denne masteravhandlinga har jeg tatt for meg induktiv og deduktiv tilnærming til to verbformer i spansk språk, indefinido og perfecto. Gjennom å stille spørsmål ved det vi ofte forbinder med klassisk grammatikkundervisning, som innebærer at læreren leder store deler av timen, har jeg gjort undersøkelser om hvorvidt en mer induktiv tilnærming til fagstoffet kunne gi tilsvarende eller bedre resultater. ...
    • La enseñanza de 'ser' y 'estar' en español como lengua extranjera: desafíos y métodos 

      Opphus, Berit (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-05-12)
      I denne avhandlingen har jeg tatt for meg de spanske verbene ‘ser’ og ‘estar’ i et didaktisk perspektiv. Begge verbene tilsvarer det norske ‘å være’, men bruken av dem avhenger av kontekst for å kunne gi reell mening. I forbindelse med denne oppgaven har jeg gjennomført ulike undervisningsopplegg for å lære elever i en 10.klasse (spansk nivå 1) hovedforskjellene på disse verbene og grunnleggende ...
    • Bestseljarar i bokhandel og bibliotek. Ein analyse av Mors gaver (2013) og De usynlige (2013) i eit litteratursosiologisk perspektiv. 

      Nesse, Guro (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-05-12)
      I Noreg har me nokre av verdas beste litteraturpolitiske støtteordningar som skal fremje ein mangfaldig norsk litteratur. Likevel ser me at litteraturen me les blir meir underhaldningsretta og meir einsretta. I oppgåva har eg sett på dei mest selde og utlånte bøkene i 2014. Listene over desse bøkene er i stor grad prega av populærlitteratur innanfor sjangrane krim og melodrama. To bøker skil seg ut, ...
