      Lundquist, Bjørn; Westendorp, Maud; Strand, Bror-Magnus S. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-16)
      We address the question whether speakers activate different grammars when they encounter linguistic input from different registers, here written standardised language and spoken dialect. This question feeds into the larger theoretical and empirical question if variable syntactic patterns should be modelled as switching between different registers/grammars, or as underspecified mappings from form to ...
    • Morphological variation and development in a Northern Norwegian role play register 

      Strand, Bror-Magnus S. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-18)
      This paper investigates the variation in and development of a set of morphological variables in a register known to be used by Norwegian children when engaging in role play. In this register they code-switch to something resembling the standard or Oslo variety for their in-character role utterances. The variation across variables, subjects, and age is demonstrated and discussed, and although most ...
