The structural configurations of root categorization
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2017-09-25)
This paper discusses the syntax of roots by way of looking at four different views discussed in the literature: (i) roots merged as complements, (ii) roots merged as modifiers, (iii) roots merged either as complements or as modifiers, and (iv) roots merged in a unique way. A lot of time is devoted to (i) and to demonstrate empirical challenges from both the nominal and the verbal domain. With the ...
Individual Development and Collective Change: A Dynamic Approach to University Teacher Training
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2019-06-24)
University teacher training is often centered around extensive courses and seminars, and may have limited impact on improving teaching practice. We suggest this may be due to faculty perceiving what is being taught as not immediately relevant for solving concrete, practical challenges they face in their everyday practice. Further, lasting change in teaching practice requires a collective effort. We ...

On the division of labor between roots and functional structure
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2017-05)
This chapter argues that there is a typology of languages according to how much meaning a root encodes independently of its syntactic categorization. This typology is illustrated by an in-depth discussion of three languages: English, Greek, and Hebrew. Hebrew is argued to represent one end of the scale where the root encodes a minimal and highly abstract meaning. English represents the other end ...
Iscenesatt ulikhet. Internasjonalt samarbeid i teaterutdanninger
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2019-09-17)
Denne artikkelen tar utgangspunkt i et samarbeidsprosjekt mellom
teaterutdanningene ved et russisk og et norsk universitet og diskuterer hvordan ulikhet
og uenighet om teatertradisjoner og undervisningsfilosofi kan brukes som en ressurs. I
diskusjonen benyttes teori om demokrati og utdanning og teori om uenighetsfellesskap.
Erfaringene oppsummeres med at trygge rammer, fleksibilitet og vektlegging ...
Networking the Republic of Letters
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2019)
In recent years it has become common to speak about the republic of letters as a
network. But this was not always the case. Rather, it is the product of a specific set
of conditions: the confluence of readily available digitized documents, computational power to analyse that data, and a ready acceptance of the ‘network perspective’ in the popular consciousness. In our increasingly interconnected ...
Did Astronomy Constitute a Denominationally Neutral Space within the Republic of Letters? An Outline for the Use of Visualization Tools in the Study of Astronomical Correspondence
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2019-06-30)
Numerous astronomical observatories were established across Europe over the course of the eighteenth century, rendering astronomy a distinct sub-branch of the Republic of Letters. Arguably, by the mid eighteenth century astronomy functioned as a denominationally neutral space and constituted a scientific discipline in the modern sense. Jesuits, Benedictines, Lutherans, Anglicans, Calvinists – all ...
V3 in Germanic: A comparison of urban vernaculars and heritage languages
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2018)
It is well known that varieties of Germanic do not display a strict V2 system whereby the finite verb is in the second position in main clauses. In this paper, we compare the Germanic heritage language American Norwegian with the Germanic urban vernacular Kiezdeutsch. We focus on declarative V3 structures and compare V3 properties in Kiezdeutsch with data from American Norwegian across several ...
