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 ...

I den nye læreplanen (LK20) ble folkehelse og livsmestring innført som tverrfaglig tema i norsk skole.

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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.

The study presented here shows the results of a questionnaire where 30 people participated, and which probes different aspects of the values that they assign to the Panama variety in contrast with ...

Teksten analyserer portrettene i lys av ...

Cognitive functions are essential in human development in general, and they play a key role in language learning, as well as in reading and writing. A large body of evidence makes the relationship between executive functions and language acquisition and processing indisputable [Moser et al., 2007; Mazuka et al., 2009; Woodard et al., 2016; see also the meta-analysis by Swanson et al. (2009)]. ...
