Lexical and morphosyntactic variation in Persian heritage language outcomes
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-10)Individual variation in heritage language (HL) outcomes does not seem to be random. Instead, this variation can be related to the specific exposure and use patterns heritage speakers (HSs) have with their languages in the contexts they reside. In this study, we present data from 38 child HSs of Persian in English dominant contexts (in New Zealand and the UK), their mothers as well as a control group ... -
Role of bilingualism in neurodegenerative disease II. Beyond Alzheimer's.
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)Over the past decades, bilingualism has emerged as a potential factor having a significant impact on cognition and brain structure. Such research typically examines the effects of bilingualism in healthy children and adults. Conversely, the body of literature examining bilingualism effects in ageing populations remains comparatively small. This holds especially true with regards to effects of ... -
Defining bilingualism as a continuum: Some tools and consequences for the study of bilingual mind and brain effects
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)Prior to the early 1960s, the idea that children in bilingual contexts were somehow disadvantaged for linguistic and cognitive development was popularly held. Without consideration of socio-economic inequalities across groups, often co-occurring with ethnic/racial minority status, it was argued that simultaneous language exposure resulted in confusion, delaying the process of language acquisition ... -
Full Transfer Potential in L3/Ln Acquisition Crosslinguistic Influence as a Property-by-Property Process
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-07-13)This chapter discusses L3/Ln acquisition as a step-by-step acquisition process, where crosslinguistic influence is considered to be the result of co-activation of lexical items and syntactic structures of the previously acquired languages in processing. That is, as argued by the Linguistic Proximity Model and the Scalpel Model, L3/Ln acquisition is learning by parsing/processing. The main focus of ... -

Words as archaeological objects: A study of marine lifeways, seascapes, and coastal environmental knowledge in the Yagan‑English dictionary
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-21)Reverend Thomas Bridges’ Yagan-English dictionary (1879) has hitherto been little explored outside of linguistics but is highly valuable as a complementary source to archaeological, ethnohistorical, and ethnographic records in Tierra del Fuego (Argentina and Chile). The dictionary contains 22,800 entries and yields rich information concerning the marine lifeways of the Yagan and their and ... -
Por solo sol difunto en el ocaso: Un epitafio poético de Juan del Valle y Caviedes contra el duque de la Palata
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)En 1691, camino hacia la metrópoli, murió en Portobelo Melchor de Navarra y Rocafull, duque de la Palata, luego de dejar el cargo de virrey del Perú. Las noticias de su muerte fueron recibidas con algunas composiciones en su contra escritas por Juan del Valle y Caviedes. En ellas utilizando, principalmente, el modelo de la poesía fúnebre se hace una serie de acusaciones contra el Duque en las que ... -
El asunto de las murallas de Lima en clave de sátira política (1684-1687)
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)Un repaso por las incursiones piratas contra la Ciudad de los Reyes de Lima —y en general contra el Virreinato del Perú—, desde las tempranas acciones de Francis Drake (entre 1578 y 1579) hasta las últimas de la alianza de filibusteros comandada por Edward Davies (entre 1684 y 1687), nos permite ver que todos estos ataques fueron sometidos por las armadas de mar y las defensas del puerto del Callao. ... -
"Dei tidville baklengslogikkane. Analepsar og analeptiske grep i Therese Tungens 'Flaumen'"
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)Noko som slår ein som les Therese Tungen sine noveller, er alle analepsane, altså tilbakeblikk eller retrospeksjonar i tekstane.i I dei to samlingane Ein gong var dei ulvar (2017) og Kjærleik og det som liknar (2019) vender narrasjonen, det vil seie tekstforteljaren, stadig attende til fortidige hendingar, samtaler, møte og livsfasar i karakterane si fortid for å rekonsteksualisere refleksjonar, val ... -
Dikt uten bandasjer. Fire haikuer fra Tomas Tranströmers Den stora gåtan
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-22)I artikkelen diskuteres vanskeligheten i og viktigheten av å kunne lese korte litterære tekster, i dette tilfellet fire haikudikt fra den siste diktsamlingen Tomas Tranströmer utga, Den stora gåtan (2004). Vanskeligheten tvinger – og lærer – undervisere og studenter å lese tekster med tilsynelatende lav informasjonsgrad, mens viktigheten består i at dette korte formatet kan lære oss å stille spørsmål ... -
Polysemy of affixes: A Slavic Perspective
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)Polysemy is defined as a multiplicity of related meanings connected by a single linguistic form. Polysemy can be understood in relation to both homonymy and contextual variation. Homonymy presents unrelated inventories of meanings connected by a given form, while contextual variation describes meanings that can be attributed to the effects of context. Polysemy borders on both homonymy and contextual ... -
"Kruttrøyk og en ubrukt øks. Novellistiske dråper i Bak skapet står øksen"
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)Det er vanskelig å plassere Torborg Nedreaas’ noveller på et bestemt sted – hører de hjemme i realismen, modernismen eller impresjonismen? Per Thomas Andersens forsøk på å klebe realisme-merkelappen på Nedreaas ved å omtale skrivemåten hennes som «tradisjonell, innlevende og realistisk» (Andersen 2001:461) finner liten konsensus i den øvrige forfatterskapsresepsjonen. Øystein Rottem skriver i sin ... -
Gray Illuminations: Foucault and Warburg in the Kingdom of Shadows
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)‘Genealogy is gray, meticulous and patiently documentary.’1 The opening statement of Michel Foucault’s 1971 essay ‘Nietzsche, Genealogy, History’ reiterates Friedrich Nietzsche’s polemics against ‘the genuinely English type’ of genealogy, ‘gazing around haphazardly in the blue,’ launched in the preface to On the Genealogy of Morals.2 As the antidote to the ethereal realms of the soul and sky ... -
The acquisition of the semantics of Japanese numeral classifiers: The methodological value of nonsense
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-26)This study examined the acquisition of numeral classifiers in 120 monolingual Japanese children. Previous research has argued that the complex semantic system underlying classifiers is late acquired. Thus, we set out to determine the age at which Japanese children are able to extend the semantic properties of classifiers to novel items/situations. Participants completed a comprehension task with ... -

De skal også lære om mangfoldet og variasjonen i samisk kultur og samfunnsliv. Denne ressursboka skal bidra til at lærere får et godt grunnlag for å undervise om urfolkstematikk, og den skal hjelpe lærerstudenter og lærere til å ivareta intensjonene i gjeldende planverk om samisk i ... -
Experimental Document Analysis—an analytical framework for document design
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)In this paper I will present an analytical framework for future documents, an experimental document analysis providing support for document design. The American economist, Herbert A. Simon outlined how to design an artificial object in his work "The Sciences of the Artificial" (1969, 1996) and described how this can be done in a systematic way, by a science of design. Simon describes the design ... -
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 ... -
Aspect processing across languages: A visual world eye-tracking study
(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?
(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
(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 ...
