The Bottleneck Hypothesis (BH) focuses on the aspects of learning a second language that are challenging and those that are simple. According to this hypothesis, acquiring functional morphology is the challenging part (or the ...

      Frank Bernstein, Katharina (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-11-01)
      This thesis aims to investigate how previously acquired languages influence the acquisition of a third language (L3); modes of transfer/cross-linguistic influence (CLI) (wholesale vs. property-by-property) and factors that select the source of transfer. This longitudinal empirical study contributes to the core questions of generative adult language acquisition and adds to the current discussion on ...

    • The phonological status of onsets with multiple articulations in Kalahari Basin Area languages 

      Harrison, Andrea (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-11-01)
      Languages spoken in the Kalahari Basin Area abound with phonetic complexity, particularly with regard to clicks and stops. In these languages, the root-initial onset position is the only position within a root that allows clicks and most egressive obstruents to occur. Some clicks and obstruents are produced phonetically as sequences of release bursts, such as a coronal stop followed by a dorsal ...

    • Mo i Rana-dialekten: En korpusanalyse 

      Furuheim, Veronica Lund (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2023-11-01)
      Mo i Rana er en nordnorsk industriby som spesielt på 1900-tallet gikk gjennom store samfunnsmessige endringer og dermed også en stor økning i folketallet, noe som igjen har påvirket talemålet. I denne masteroppgaven undersøker jeg hvilke dialektendringstendenser som kan spores i Mo i Rana-dialekten fra 1960-tallet og fram til i dag. For å besvare problemstillingen har jeg analysert korpusdata fra ...

    • Tromsø dialect 

      Nowell, Hazel (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 1989-09)
      The Tromsø dialect situation today is probably typical of many Northern Norwegian town dialects. It has developed from an old local non-standard speech variety which was very similar to the present local rural dialects. What clearly distinguishes the modern town version, as spoken by young people today, from the old one, however, is the inclusion of a significant number of bokmål features. This study ...

    • Integration of Turkish Immigrants into the Norwegian Society: The Role of English as a Lingua Franca 

      Bjørgve, Aylin Kayali (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-05-15)
      The rapid growth of globalisation and the ease of mobility across countries during the past decades have brought about some fundamental changes in the structural organisation of societies. People not only carry their bodies and workforce with them when they move, but they also carry their identities, experiences, cultures, habits and needs. Immigrants may encounter a variety of challenges after they ...

    • Die Arbeit mit dem Wortschatz im norwegischen Deutschunterricht: Ansätze in Lehrbüchern und Erfahrungen von Lehrer*innen 

      Loe, Ole Mikael Setvik (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-06-01)
      Denne masteroppgaven tar for seg ordlæring i tysk som fremmedspråk. Den tar utgangspunkt i tidligere forskning om tilegnelse av ordforråd i et fremmedspråk, især en studie som belyser norske tyskelevers strategibruk rundt ordlæring. Til forskjell fra den studien skiftes fokuset over til lærernes praksis, holdninger og kunnskaper om dette, men også læringsressursene som brukes i skolen for å fremme ...

    • "Niemand hat die Absicht, die Mauer abzureißen!“ - Eine Untersuchung der Behandlung der Themen Wende und Mauerfall in norwegischen DaF-Lehrbücher zwischen 2006 und 2020 

      Eilertsen, Marcelius (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-05-15)
      „Die Wende“ og Berlinmurens fall markerer et vendepunkt i moderne tysk historie, som førte til gjenforeningen i 1990, etter å ha vært delt i to i 41 år som to land. I fremmedspråk er et av læreplanmålene å kunne utforske og gjøre rede for mangfold, samfunnsforhold og historiske hendelser i målspråkområdet, og dermed er det naturlig at dette blir undervist om i tysktimene. I denne masteroppgaven vil ...
