Historical linguistics has always been a cornerstone in Russian studies, and most programs have traditionally included courses in Old Church Slavonic (OCS) and the history of Russian. But do such courses have a place in curricula of the future? In this article, I argue that historical linguistics is more relevant than ever, and I discuss seven pedagogical ...

Many key concepts that modern linguistics operates with were first introduced in the Structuralist Era, the time when linguists believed in clear-cut oppositions and privative features and did not have access to large electronic corpora. Today, when we apply these Structuralist concepts to linguistic data, which is gradient in nature, we encounter a gap between the data and our theory. I argue that ...

Avhandlingen omhandler undervisningsmetoder i spansk grammatikk når et nytt tema presenteres. Dette har jeg utført i praksis i en 10-klasse på en ungdomsskole. Ettersom temaet er pretérito indefinido, presenterer jeg fire ulike undervisningstimer og innholdet i disse. Samtidig tar jeg også sikte på hvordan man kan gjennomføre formativ vurdering, eller underveisvurdering, samtidig som man underviser. ...

This study sets out to explain the typological gaps and the asymmetric phonological and morphological behaviors observed in the most common types of Spanish hypocoristics. These type of nicknames are divided in three main categories, left-anchored, stress anchored and reduplicative truncated forms, which can be exemplified by the three more common nicknames of the female name Elena: Ele would be the ...

In this thesis address the issue of how point of view and narrative voice within The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time (Mark Haddon 2003), and Mockingbird (Kathryn Erskine 2010) relate to the theoretical models of disability studies. As the analysis will prove, the effect of narrative strategies in the novels serves to underline some of the current challenges within the field of disability ...

This thesis explores the bleak nihilistic literary universe portrayed in the novels No Country for Old Men, The Road, and The Sunset Limited: A Novel in Dramatic Form, by Cormac McCarthy. These works portray the cause of human civilization’s death to be the decay of morality through the absence of divine agency. Without divinity present to enforce moral laws upon the population humans are free to ...
