    • How (not) to look for meaning composition in the brain: A reassessment of current experimental paradigms 

      Calinescu, Lia; Ramchand, Gillian C; Baggio, Giosuè (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 ...

    • Aspect processing across languages: A visual world eye-tracking study 

      Minor, Sergey; Mitrofanova, Natalia; Guajardo, Gustavo; Vos, Myrte Titia; Ramchand, Gillian C (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-10)
      The study employed a combination of a picture selection task and Visual World eye-tracking to investigate the processing of grammatical aspect (perfective vs. imperfective) in three languages: Russian, Spanish and English. In order to probe into the cognitive representations triggered by the aspectual forms we contrasted visual representations of dierent temporal portions of telic events—a ...

    • CLILiG als Chance für den Deutschunterricht in Norwegen: Wunschdenken oder realisierbares Konzept? 

      Bauer, Karen; Lindemann, Beate Hildegard (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-31)
      Während CLIL mittlerweile einen festen Platz in der europäischen Bildungslandschaft hat, scheint sich in Norwegen die Umsetzung des Konzeptes auf vereinzelte Angebote in englischer Sprache zu begrenzen. Gleichzeitig ist die Förderung fächerübergreifenden CLIL-Unterrichts ein wichtiges Ziel der europäischen Sprachenpolitik. Unser Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, welche Rahmenbedingungen eine ...

    • From data to theory: An emergent semantic classification based on the large-scale Russian constructicon 

      Janda, Laura Alexis; Endresen, Anna; Zhukova, Valentina; Mordashova, Daria; Rakhilina, Ekaterina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-19)
      The semantic classification of over 2,200 constructions in the Russian Con- structicon has emerged objectively from empirical analysis. The resulting semantic classification comports with and goes beyond frame semantics, revealing complex patterns of related constructions verified against corpus data and by a panel of native speakers. Our model of a constructicon can inform and complement existing ...

    • “Det er kult å lære samisk” – om investering og affekt i samisk språkutdanningspolitikk 

      Sollid, Hilde (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-22)
      Gjennom offisiell språkpolitikk har skolen i Norge fått en viktig rolle i prosessen med å revitalisere og ta tilbake samiske språk. Tema i denne artikkelen er samisk språkutdanningspolitikk og skolen som språklæringsarena for barn og unge utenfor forvaltningsområdet for samisk språk som ønsker å lære samisk, men som har liten tilgang til språket i familien eller i lokalsamfunnet. Målet er å gå ...

    • Graphic novels as counter-stories: Jerry Craft’s New Kid as a way to teach critical racial awareness 

      Lentz, Eva Christina Makaria (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-28)
      Artikkelen undersøker Jerry Crafts grafiske roman New Kid (2019) med utgangspunkt i Critical Race Theory (CRT). CRT-forskere hevder at rasisme er et strukturelt fenomen som påvirker alle områder av det offentlige livet, blant annet utdanning. New Kid er basert på autobiografiske erfaringer av å være ‘african american’ på en hovedsakelig hvit eliteskole i USA og kan derfor leses som en ‘counter-story’ ...

Using the template analysis, four main themes of library diplomacy are identified: (1) the actors showed implicit and explicit roles in diplomatic involvement; (2) the main objective of library diplomacy was to facilitate knowledge dialogue; (3) the ...

    • Cognitive Neuroscience Perspectives on Language Acquisition and Processing 

      Prystauka, Yanina; Deluca, Vincent Francesco; Luque, Alicia; Voits, Toms; Rothman, Jason (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023-11-21)
      <p>The earliest investigations of the neural implementation of language started with examining patients with various types of disorders and underlying brain damage. The advent of neuroimaging tools in the twentieth century drastically changed the landscape of the field of the (cognitive) neuroscience of language, expanding the variety and depth of research questions one could ask without being ...

      Introduction: There exists a great degree of variability in the documentation of multilingual experience across different instruments.

    • From machine learning to classroom learning: mobile vowels and the Russian preposition v ‘in(to)’ 

      Nesset, Tore; Xavier, Kevin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      The present study reports on a machine learning experiment concerning mobile vowels in the Russian preposition v ‘in(to)’. It is shown that a neural network is able to predict mobile vowels in 97.4% of the cases in our dataset, and a decision tree is used to extract a set of three rules that a language learner can use to achieve nearly the same level of accuracy. We argue that these rules are ...

    • Letters to the Paulaharjus from Ruija: The emergence of two writing cultures in Finnish among Kvens in the early twentieth century 

      Haataja, Daniel; Niiranen, Leena Mirjam (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023-08-15)
      <p>Samuli Paulaharju was a Finnish ethnographer who visited the Kven minority in Northern Norway – Ruija – in the 1920s and 1930s. Together with his wife Jenny he collected ethnographic material among the Kvens, and corresponded frequently with some of them. Many wrote in Finnish, and most were self-taught writers. <p>We focus on the orthography used by these writers who were writing in a multilingual ...

    • Heritage language development and processing: Non-canonical word orders in Mandarin-English child heritage speakers 

      Hao, Jiuzhou; Chondrogianni, Vasiliki; Sturt, Patrick (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023-09-18)
      Previous research suggests that child HSs’ performance in offline linguistic tasks is typically worse than their age-matched monolingual peers and is modulated by linguistic and child-level factors. This study examined the comprehension and production of three Mandarin non-canonical structures in 5- to 9-year-old Mandarin–English heritage children and Mandarin-speaking monolingual children, including ...

    • Experience of discrimination in egalitarian societies: the Sámi and majority populations in Sweden and Norway 

      Yasar, Rusen; Bergmann, Fabian; Lloyd-Smith, Anika; Schmid, Sven-Patrick; Holzinger, Katharina; Kupisch, Tanja (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-29)
      The Sámi people stand out as the only Indigenous minority in an egalitarian European context, namely the Nordic Countries. Therefore, inequalities that they may face are worth closer inspection. Drawing on the distinction between inequalities among individuals (vertical) and between groups (horizontal), we investigate how different types of inequalities affect the Sámi today. We formulate a series ...
