Events always take (place with) ser
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-21)The present study aims to throw light on the behavior of the Spanish copulas ser and estar in locative sentences, beyond their classical distinction in terms of Individual-Level (IL) versus Stage-Level (SL) predicates. The behavior of the Spanish copulas in locative contexts constitutes an oddity that we aim to probe here: events (concierto ‘concert’), despite their clear spatial and temporal ... -
Children’s acquisition of word order variation: A study of subject placement in embedded clauses in Norwegian
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-29)Norwegian embedded clauses give children two options for subject placement: preceding or following negation (S-Neg/Neg-S). In the adult language, S-Neg is the ‘default’ and highly frequent option, and Neg-S is infrequent in children’s input. However, Neg-S may be argued to be the structurally less complex. We investigate whether children are aware of the existence of both subject positions, and ... -

«Det handler om å alltid ha vært»: Transidentitet og aktørskap i bildeboka Ollianna
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)I denne artikkelen analyserer vi framstillinga av transmotivet i bildeboka Ollianna (Dahle & Nyhus, 2020) og drøfter hvilke forestillinger om barn og barndom som ligger til grunn. Særlig undersøker vi om framstillinga av trans- og cispersonene i Ollianna er normativ, og i hvilken grad boka bidrar til å utfordre eller opprettholde eksisterende kjønnsnormer. Analysen undersøker hvordan boka skildrer ... -
Die Arbeit mit dem Wortschatz im norwegischen Deutschunterricht: Ansätze in Lehrbüchern und Erfahrungen von Lehrer*innen
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-06-01)Denne masteroppgaven tar for seg ordlæring i tysk som fremmedspråk. Den tar utgangspunkt i tidligere forskning om tilegnelse av ordforråd i et fremmedspråk, især en studie som belyser norske tyskelevers strategibruk rundt ordlæring. Til forskjell fra den studien skiftes fokuset over til lærernes praksis, holdninger og kunnskaper om dette, men også læringsressursene som brukes i skolen for å fremme ... -
"Niemand hat die Absicht, die Mauer abzureißen!“ - Eine Untersuchung der Behandlung der Themen Wende und Mauerfall in norwegischen DaF-Lehrbücher zwischen 2006 und 2020
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-05-15)„Die Wende“ og Berlinmurens fall markerer et vendepunkt i moderne tysk historie, som førte til gjenforeningen i 1990, etter å ha vært delt i to i 41 år som to land. I fremmedspråk er et av læreplanmålene å kunne utforske og gjøre rede for mangfold, samfunnsforhold og historiske hendelser i målspråkområdet, og dermed er det naturlig at dette blir undervist om i tysktimene. I denne masteroppgaven vil ... -

Actitudes lingüísticas hacia los murcianismos - Un estudio sobre percepciones aplicado al léxico
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-05-11)Even though there are many studies devoted to the analysis of linguistic attitudes, it is not so frequent to find analyses that explore the attitude towards specific lexical phenomena. This work concentrates on the acceptability and perception of a series of lexical expressions, characteristic from Murcia (Spain) –a highly stigmatised variety–, both in utterances with other vernacular traits and in ... -

Voice Markers in Septuagint Greek in the Light of Hebrew Interference: A Corpus-Based Study on the Aorist System of the Book of Genesis*
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-20)In this paper, we examine the behaviour of so-called passive and middle aorist forms in the Greek reflected in the Genesis of the Septuagint. The Septuagint, and Biblical Greek more generally, displays a considerable aberration with respect to other varieties of Ancient Greek regarding the relative frequency of passive vis-à-vis middle aorist forms. Here, we explore this feature of Septuagint Greek ...
