Adjektivkongruens i amerikanorsk
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2021)I arvespråket amerikanorsk finst det mykje språkblanding. Denne artikkelen ser nærare på attributive engelske adjektiv i nominalfrasar som har norsk struktur og norsk substantiv, og vi undersøker om desse engelske adjektiva har norsk bøying i eit nyare korpusmateriale (CANS). Resultata syner at dei fleste engelske adjektiva står saman med eit engelsk substantiv, og det er altså ein kontekst der ein ... -
Adverbial Resumption and Scope: A Case Study of Norwegian
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-02-24)Haegeman and Greco (2018, this volume) show that there are interpretational effects associated with Verb Second (V2) vs. non-V2 structures, viz. V3 structures. Among others, they illustrate that word order has a scopal effect. Compare (1a) and (1b) from West Flemish (Haegeman and Greco 2018: 21, this volume). -
Adverbial Resumption in V2 Languages: The Background
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-02-24)The goal of this chapter is to lay out the background assumptions that will underlie the discussions in the present volume, setting ‘adverbial resumption’, the core issue addressed in this volume, against the general background of the Verb Second (V2) pattern. Readers familiar with the literature on V2, on left dislocation structures in V2 and on resumptive patterns, will not find much new by way ... -
The asymmetric nature of V2: Evidence from learner languages
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2019-12-07)In the field of Germanic linguistics, there has been a long-standing debate as to the question of how to analyze sentences with verb second (V2) word order. In particular, the question has been whether or not subject-initial and non-subject-initial main clause declaratives should receive the same structural analysis. Here we review this debate and provide new evidence from learner languages involving ... -
Biographical Sketch
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2021)As the synoptic introduction makes clear, Noam Chomsky is a unique intellectual figure who has had a huge impact on several fields. He was almost single-handedly responsible for initiating the cognitive revolution in linguistics, and, with others such as George Miller, Hilary Putnam and Jerry Fodor, for the ensuing replacement of behaviorism by cognitive science in psychology generally, to say nothing ... -
Chomsky's "Galilean" Explanatory Style
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2021-04)<p>Chomsky pursues a methodology in linguistics that abstracts from substantial amounts of data about actual language use in a way that has met considerable resistance from many other linguists. He thinks of this method as like that employed by Galileo and later physicists who proposed laws of motion in considerable abstraction from many of the motions we observe in daily life, focusing, for example, ... -
Comparing Island Effects for Different Dependency Types in Norwegian
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-29)Recent research suggests that island effects may vary as a function of dependency type, potentially challenging accounts that treat island effects as reflecting uniform constraints on all filler-gap dependency formation. Some authors argue that cross-dependency variation is more readily accounted for by discourse-functional constraints that take into account the discourse status of both the ... -
Det bør hete St. Olav's University Hospital på engelsk
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-29)I 78 forskningsartikler ble det engelskspråklige navnet for St. Olavs hospital skrevet på 13 ulike måter. Det offisielle navnet ble ikke brukt i det hele tatt. -

The Effects of Attrition on Grammatical Gender: A View from North American Icelandic
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-18)Heritage grammars have been argued to differ with respect to whether they are an instantiation of divergent attainment or attrition. Attrition and divergent attainment are not mutually exclusive and can even co-exist with respect to the same or different grammatical phenomena, but teasing these apart requires longitudinal studies or carefully selected cross-sectional data (Montrul, 2008; 2016; ... -
En splyv eller et splyv? Tilordning av grammatisk genus til nonord-substantiv i norsk
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-12)Tradisjonelt har det norske genussystemet blitt karakterisert som lite transparent. Et viktig spørsmål er om språkbrukere likevel kan være sensitive til visse egenskaper ved substantiver og bruker disse produktivt når de tildeler genus til ukjente ord. I denne artikkelen undersøker vi eksperimentelt språkbrukeres sensitivitet til fonologiske egenskaper som vi har identifisert gjennom korpusundersøkelser. ... -
En splyv eller et splyv? Tilordning av grammatisk genus til pseudosubstantiv i norsk

Endringer i grammatisk kjønn på tvers av dialekter: Et eksperimentelt paradigme
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-29)Grammatisk kjønn er i endring i flere norske dialekter, og især er det hunkjønn som står i en utsatt posisjon. Denne artikkelen presenterer en metodikk for å undersøke grammatisk kjønn på ei rekke forskjellige kategorier (artikler, adjektiv, possessiv, pronomen) på tvers av steder og generasjoner. Utvalget på sju steder og tre ulike aldersgrupper blir grunngitt, og en hypotese om at endringer i ... -
Extraction from finite adjunct clauses: an investigation of relative clause dependencies in Norwegian
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-10)Recent experiments have confirmed earlier informal evidence that finite adjuncts are not islands categorically. Specifically, it has been shown that adjuncts are not necessarily islands for all dependency types (Sprouse et al. 2016), and that the island status of an adjunct depends on the type of the adjunct clause in question (Kush et al. 2019; Müller 2019; Bondevik et al. 2021; Nyvad et al. ... -
Forholdet mellom allmenn lingvistisk forskning og forskning på individuelle språk
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2017)En tradisjonell motsetning innenfor vitenskapen er den mellom teoretikeren og empirikeren. En teoretiker er primært interessert i teorier og hvordan disse er sammensatt. Empiri er bare interessant i den grad den kan kaste lys over teorien, det viktigste målet er å finne ut hvordan teorien er skrudd sammen. For empirikeren er bildet det motsatte: Hun er interessert i mest mulig kunnskap om data ... -
From the Origins of Government and Binding to the Current State of Minimalism
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2021)This chapter provides a review of the current Chomskyan approach to the study of human language, known as the Minimalist Program. It offers an overview of the central ideas that were central in shaping the program, in particular Government and Binding Theory. It presents an outline of what the essential ideas of the program are, focusing in particular on how the Minimalist Program is seen as a natural ... -
Gender variation across the oromo dialects: a corpus-based study*
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-18)This study aims to (1) demonstrate the position of the Oromo gender system in Corbett's (1991) typology of gender; (2) illustrate major syntactic gender variation across the Oromo dialects; (3) identify factors that contributed to the gender variation, and (4) illustrate the morphosyntax of the Oromo gender system. The data obtained from the Oromo Speech Corpus shows a high degree of lexical and ... -
Generative approaches
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2019)This chapter introduces generative approaches to syntax. Because space prevents full discussion of the many existing approaches we have chosen to focus on derivational (‘transformational’) approaches, essentially along the lines developed by Chomsky and many others. The most recent incarnation of this specific approach is called ‘The Minimalist Program’, or just ‘Minimalism’: it is an approach which ... -
Generative Approaches to Second Language (L2) Acquisition and Advanced L2 Proficiency
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2018-06-22)Child first language acquisition (L1A) and adult second language acquisition (SLA) have observably different outcomes. Considering how distinct the two acquisition contexts often are, divergence is perhaps not surprising. Only adults acquiring a second language (L2) (i) are typically not surrounded by high quantities of native input, (ii) receive and must filter through significant amounts of ...
