Public libraries in Norway and the Covid-19 pandemic
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021)Public libraries have played a central role in natural disasters such as the tornado in the Gulf of Mexico in 2004/2005 and the tsunami in the Tohoku region of Japan in 2011, but also in the financial crisis from 2008. While public libraries in these crises took on a very active role in providing shelter and infrastructure for their citizens, health crises seem to tell a different story. The Covid-19 ... -
Verb placement variation in Swedish and Danish
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-17)This article gives a summary of the Swedish and Danish data on verb placement in the Nordic Word order Database (NWD; Lundquist et al. 2019). The data were collected using an elicited production paradigm. I discuss variation in verb placement in Danish in four constructions: in embedded clauses with respect to adverbs (embedded V2), in main clauses with respect to preverbal and sentence-medial ... -
Variable verb second in Norwegian main and embedded clauses
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-17)Norwegian has verb second (V2) word order in main but not embedded clauses. Although as a first approximation V2 is a phenomenon characteristic of root clauses, it has long been known that it occurs also in a restricted set of embedded clauses in Norwegian, as in many, if not all, of the other North Germanic languages. Many Norwegian dialects in addition allow deviations from the standard V2 word ... -
The thousand-question Spanish general knowledge database
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-29)General knowledge questionnaires have been ubiquitously used to study a wide variety of phenomena, such as illusory truth, error correction and tip-ofthe-tongue situations. However, their normings are highly restricted to the territory and the time period they in which they were obtained. This requires that new normings are obtained for each new territory in which they be used. Here, we present ... -
Nationaløkonomiske og -kulturelle udfordringer for nordiske spilindustrier i en platformkapitalistisk verden
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-30)Denne artikel undersøger de økonomiske og kulturelle forhold mellem digitale platforme og norske og danske spiludviklere. Hvor digitale platforme som Apples og Googles appbutikker, Valves Steam og Sonys, Microsofts og Nintendos onlinebutikker har gjort det lettere for spiludviklere i Norge og Danmark at nå ud til millioner af potentielle kunder, introducerer jeg nogle udfordringer og kritiske ... -
Predicting Second Language Proficiency with Resting-State Brain Rhythms.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-24)Understanding what traits facilitate second language (L2) learning has been the focus of many psycholinguistic studies for the last thirty years. One source of insight comes from quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG), i.e., electrical brain activity recorded from the scalp. Using qEEG, Prat et al. [1] found that functional brain connectivity is predictive of language learning ability. This study ... -
Productivity and the acquisition of gender
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-04)Children's differing learning trajectories cross-linguistically have been at the forefront of gender acquisition research, often with conflicting results and conclusions. As a result, the source of children's different learning behaviors in gender acquisition has been unclear. I argue that children's gender acquisition is driven by the search for productive patterns. First, I provide corpus studies ... -
DOUBLE-NUMBER MARKING MATTERS for BOTH L1 and L2 PROCESSING of NONLOCAL AGREEMENT SIMILARLY: AN ERP INVESTIGATION
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-07)The present study uses event-related potentials (ERPs) to examine nonlocal agreement processing between native (L1) English speakers and Chinese–English second language (L2) learners, whose L1 lacks number agreement. We manipulated number marking with determiners (the vs. that/these) to see how determiner-specification influences both native and nonnative processing downstream for verbal number ... -
"Kassetekstens didaktikk. Korte prosatekster i klasserom og auditorium"
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-11)Å bruke korte prosatekster (såkalte «kassetekster») i litteraturundervisningen har store fordeler, både i videregående skole og i høyere utdanning. Kortformatet – anvendt i kortprosa, lynfiksjoner og prosalyrikk – er nemlig kjent for unge, utrente lesere ettersom det blir brukt i e-poster, nyhetsartikler, Twitter-tekster, Snapchat-beskjeder og andre kulturtekster, også muntlige. Ved å utnytte et ... -
The Basic Psychological Needs in the Classroom Scale (BPN-CS)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-24)Recent experimental and theoretical studies have shown that the assessment of students’ satisfaction of their basic psychological needs (BPN) can be a powerful resource to identify different areas to improve their well-being, engagement, or learning achievement in school contexts. However, currently, the number of validated tools to assess the satisfaction of the BPN is very low, hindering informed ... -

Denne studien undersøker begrepsforståelse, skjønnlitteraturens betydning og didaktikk knyttet til temaet. Våren 2019 ble 13 norsklærere fra fem videregående skoler intervjuet ved bruk av en semi-strukturert intervjuguide. Den tematiske analysen av datamaterialet viser følgende resultater: Lærerne ... -
¡Hola! Nice to meet you: language mixing and biographical in- 2 formation processing
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-26)In bilingual communities, social interactions take place in both single- and mixed-language contexts. Some of the information shared in multilingual conversations, such as interlocutors’ personal information, is often required in consequent social encounters. In this study, we explored whether the autobiographical information provided in a single-language context is better remembered than in an ... -
Complex onsets and coda markedness in Persian
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-30)This paper argues for the Coda Condition to be a universal set of violable constraints on the basis of new vowel epenthesis data from Persian (Farsi). Vowel insertion in L2 phonology, loanwords, and nonce-words is driven by a strict ban on consonant clusters in syllable onsets. The choice between anaptyxis and prothesis is determined by the Coda Condition. As there is no detectable evidence for ... -
Incidental vocabulary learning with subtitles in a new language: Orthographic markedness and number of exposures
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-16)The present study is set to explore the way the orthographic distributional properties of novel written words and the number of exposures to these words affect their incidental learning in terms of recall and recognition. To that end, two experiments were conducted using videos with captions. These videos included written nonwords (orthographically marked language-specific items) and pseudowords ... -
The Influence of L2 Proficiency on Bilinguals' Creativity: The Key Role of Adaptive Emotion Regulation Strategies During the COVID-19 Pandemic
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-01)The COVID-19 pandemic has brought severe impact on language learners' emotional states and their performance in creativity. Yet, their ability to regulate emotions is crucial for everyday functioning during times of crisis. The question of how adaptive emotion regulation (ER) strategies, which help an individual maintain appropriate and stable mood states, might affect bilinguals' creativity remains ... -
Reading without phonology: ERP evidence from skilled deaf readers of Spanish
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-04)Reading typically involves phonological mediation, especially for transparent orthographies with a regular letter to sound correspondence. In this study we ask whether phonological coding is a necessary part of the reading process by examining prelingually deaf individuals who are skilled readers of Spanish. We conducted two EEG experiments exploiting the pseudohomophone efect, in which nonwords ... -
On the phantom-like appearance of bilingualism effects on neurocognition: (How) should we proceed?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-22)Numerous studies have argued that bilingualism has effects on cognitive functions. Recently, in light of increasingly mixed empirical results, this claim has been challenged. One might ponder if there is enough evidence to justify a cessation to future research on the topic or, alternatively, how the field could proceed to better understand the phantom-like appearance of bilingual effects. Herein, ... -
Omveien hjem. «Hans og Grete» i klasserommet
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-11)Artikkelen argumenterer for verdien av å arbeide hermeneutisk på en metodisk måte med litterære tekster i klasserommet. Den baserer seg på overbevisningen om at det å gjøre seg lydhør overfor et annet menneskes tankeverden er verdifullt i seg selv og dessuten at tolkningsarbeidet er uløselig forbundet med dyder som selvarbeid og selverkjennelse. Artikkelen er delt i tre hoveddeler. Først gir den ... -
Bruken av navneparene kvener – Kvenland og finner – Finland i tekster fra middelalderen. En kildekritisk gjennomgang
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-14)The article deals with the name pairs Kven and Finn(e) and Kvenland – Finland in medieval texts, on one hand in Old Norse and the other hand in Old Swedish. Scholars have traditionally thought that the ethnonym kven referred specifically to an ancient Finnish people living on both sides of the Gulf of Bothnia, and the regional name Kvenland would have meant the area inhabited by this northern people. ... -
Socioeconomic Status, Culture, and Reading Comprehension in Immigrant Students
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-19)Research on reading comprehension in immigrant students is heterogeneous and conflicting. Differences in socioeconomic status and cultural origins are very likely confounds in determining whether differences to native pupils can be attributed to immigrant status. We collected data on 312 Spanish students of Native, of Hispanic origin–therefore with the same family language as native students- ...
