The authors explore how multiple viewpoints can challenge our habitualised way of viewing and expand the area of thinking about children’s outdoor learning. They draw on micro-fieldwork in a Sámi kindergarten in Arctic Norway. There, learning through participation and practical experiences is a traditional strategy in child rearing.

Joshua Greene argumenterer for at deontologisk etikk er uegnet som normativ teori fordi den har sitt opphav i nevrologiske- og psykologiske prosesser som er sensitive for faktorer som ikke er moralsk relevante. Jeg argumenterer for at normativ etikk, representert ved debatten mellom deontologi og konsekvensialisme, er en disiplin preget av stillstand, og at Greenes prosjekt har potensial til å bøte ...

I denne artikkelen undersøker jeg vekslinga mellom VO- og OV-ordstilling i nordsamisk talemål. Jeg har gjort søk i LIA Sápmi – Sámegiela hállangiellakorpus. Resultatene mine viser ikke uventet at VO overordnet sett er det mest frekvente mønstret. Men i materialet mitt finner jeg også mange tilfeller av SAuxOV-ordstilling, spesielt i setninger med sammensatte verbformer hvor hovedverbet er i ...

This thesis examines two phonological processes in which vocalic features assimilate to neighboring segments with complex consonant-vowel interactions, namely emphasis spread in Cairene Arabic and lowered larynx assimilation in Buchan Scots. I propose a non-linear analysis in the framework of the Parallel Structures Model (PSM) of feature geometry (Morén 2003). This model provides a unified account ...

The Septuagint, and Biblical Greek more generally, displays a considerable aberration with respect to other varieties of Ancient Greek regarding the relative frequency of passive vis-à-vis middle aorist forms. Here, we explore this feature of Septuagint Greek ...

This dissertation examines the voice system of Amharic. I have studied the voice features including the anticausative and a pair of causative functional items focusing on their selection, interpretation and syntactic projection. The voice items display some interesting properties that made them worth an in­depth investigation. First, the single anticausative morpheme is associated with multiple ...

Aotearoa (New Zealand) is the only country in the world to have decriminalized sex work. The Prostitution Reform Act (PRA henceforth) was enacted in 2003 with the aim to safeguard the human rights of sex workers, and create a framework that is conducive to public health. Skeptics of this policy argue that the law reform was targeting indoor workers while the livelihood of street-based sex workers ...
