Harnessing the bilingual descent down the mountain of life: Charting novel paths for Cognitive and Brain Reserves research
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-13)Evidence from various empirical study types have converged to show bilingualism's potential for serving as a cognitive and brain reserves contributor. In this article, I contextualize, frame the need for and offer some expanding questions in this endeavor, inclusive of empirical pathways to address them. While the set of variables and questions discussed herein are definitively incomplete, they ... -

Mellom inkludering og indigenisering: Om utvikling av norskdidaktisk forskning om samiske tema
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2024)Vi starter dette kapittelet med å slå fast at det per i dag ikke finnes noen norskdidaktisk klassikertekst som handler om arbeid med samiske tema i norskfaget. I mangel på en slik tekst har vi valgt å ta utgangspunkt i et samisk ordtak som – typisk for sjangeren – har vært tradert muntlig gjennom historien som en del av kulturell forvaltning av verdier og tankesett. I ordtaket settes det å finne ... -
Why markedness is always local: the case of Russian aspect
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-20)Markedness is the observation of an encoding asymmetry in which higher complexity (both in terms of form and meaning) tends to pattern with lower frequency. Given that markedness focuses on the relationships between form-meaning patterns and usage patterns, markedness is of inherent theoretical interest for cognitive linguistics. Traditionally it is assumed that the markedness values of Russian ... -
Performing with a Sonic Tool - An approach to designing and analysing new instruments
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)In recent decades, digital technology has accelerated the development of new musical instruments, not only establishing new techniques for creating sound but also enabling new performance practices. Audiences have been exposed to new ways of performing music ranging from more or less static laptop performances to expressive use of bodily gestures to control sounds. These changes are becoming even ... -
The GiellaLT infrastructure: A multilingual infrastructure for rule-based NLP
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)This article gives an overview of the GiellaLT infrastructure, the main parts of it, and how it has been and can be used to support a large number of indigenous and minority languages, from keyboards to speech technology and advanced proofing tools. A special focus is given to languages with few or non-existing digital resources, and it is shown that many tools useful to the daily digital life of ... -
Fra partikkelverb og preposisjoner til verbavledninger og kasus. Brukerstudie av ei nordsamisk-norsk-nordsamisk ordbok
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-29)The article discusses challenges facing the bidirectional North Saami–Norwegian e-dictionary Neahttadigisánit when used as a production dictionary, based upon a set of writing and translation tasks presented to second term students and logging of their dictionary use. The dictio¬nary's ability to both analyse and generate Norwegian and Saami forms is of great help to the students. The dictionary ... -
Normative language work in the age of machine learning
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2021)Neural nets have, during the last few years, given us both an improved Google Translate, better search algorithms, better speech technology and doubtless many other things. The approach dominates current language technology to the extent that no other approach is visible. Being data driven, the hidden assumption behind this approach when used in proofing tools is that the language is used correctly ... -
Strengthening the Literacy of an Indigenous Language Community: Methodological Implications of the Project Čyeti čälled anaraškielân, 'One Hundred writers for Aanaar Saami'
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2021-05-03)Aanaar Saami literacy is weaker than majority languages, in the sense that reading and writing Aanaar Saami is less common. In order to strengthen literacy, we argue for an approach that represents a methodology for participatory research from a community and from an in-group perspective. We also discuss the implications this has for indigenous research. The article presents a strategy for producing ... -
Ulike veger fra nordsamisk til lulesamisk
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-28)The present article evaluates different approaches to the construc-tion of a North Saami-Lule Saami dictionary. The pivot method (via Norwegian) gives rise both to a low coverage and to a massive overgeneration and requires other methods in order to distinguish between good and bad candidate pairs. We show that it is possible to distinguish reliably between good and bad pairs ... -
Mental simulation of the factual and the illusory in negation processing: evidence from anticipatory eye movements on a blank screen
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-03)How do comprehenders process negative statements such as The fish is not jumping out of the water? Opinions vary. Some argue for two steps, namely that processing starts off with the representation of the positive/illusory [fish jumping out of the water] and then shifts to the (f)actual. To test this idea, we measured fixations on the factual (fish not jumping) versus the illusory (fish jumping) ... -
Lexical and morphosyntactic variation in Persian heritage language outcomes
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-10)Individual variation in heritage language (HL) outcomes does not seem to be random. Instead, this variation can be related to the specific exposure and use patterns heritage speakers (HSs) have with their languages in the contexts they reside. In this study, we present data from 38 child HSs of Persian in English dominant contexts (in New Zealand and the UK), their mothers as well as a control group ... -
Role of bilingualism in neurodegenerative disease II. Beyond Alzheimer's.
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)Over the past decades, bilingualism has emerged as a potential factor having a significant impact on cognition and brain structure. Such research typically examines the effects of bilingualism in healthy children and adults. Conversely, the body of literature examining bilingualism effects in ageing populations remains comparatively small. This holds especially true with regards to effects of ... -
Defining bilingualism as a continuum: Some tools and consequences for the study of bilingual mind and brain effects
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)Prior to the early 1960s, the idea that children in bilingual contexts were somehow disadvantaged for linguistic and cognitive development was popularly held. Without consideration of socio-economic inequalities across groups, often co-occurring with ethnic/racial minority status, it was argued that simultaneous language exposure resulted in confusion, delaying the process of language acquisition ... -
Full Transfer Potential in L3/Ln Acquisition Crosslinguistic Influence as a Property-by-Property Process
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-07-13)This chapter discusses L3/Ln acquisition as a step-by-step acquisition process, where crosslinguistic influence is considered to be the result of co-activation of lexical items and syntactic structures of the previously acquired languages in processing. That is, as argued by the Linguistic Proximity Model and the Scalpel Model, L3/Ln acquisition is learning by parsing/processing. The main focus of ... -

Words as archaeological objects: A study of marine lifeways, seascapes, and coastal environmental knowledge in the Yagan‑English dictionary
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-21)Reverend Thomas Bridges’ Yagan-English dictionary (1879) has hitherto been little explored outside of linguistics but is highly valuable as a complementary source to archaeological, ethnohistorical, and ethnographic records in Tierra del Fuego (Argentina and Chile). The dictionary contains 22,800 entries and yields rich information concerning the marine lifeways of the Yagan and their and ... -
Por solo sol difunto en el ocaso: Un epitafio poético de Juan del Valle y Caviedes contra el duque de la Palata
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)En 1691, camino hacia la metrópoli, murió en Portobelo Melchor de Navarra y Rocafull, duque de la Palata, luego de dejar el cargo de virrey del Perú. Las noticias de su muerte fueron recibidas con algunas composiciones en su contra escritas por Juan del Valle y Caviedes. En ellas utilizando, principalmente, el modelo de la poesía fúnebre se hace una serie de acusaciones contra el Duque en las que ... -
El asunto de las murallas de Lima en clave de sátira política (1684-1687)
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)Un repaso por las incursiones piratas contra la Ciudad de los Reyes de Lima —y en general contra el Virreinato del Perú—, desde las tempranas acciones de Francis Drake (entre 1578 y 1579) hasta las últimas de la alianza de filibusteros comandada por Edward Davies (entre 1684 y 1687), nos permite ver que todos estos ataques fueron sometidos por las armadas de mar y las defensas del puerto del Callao. ... -
"Dei tidville baklengslogikkane. Analepsar og analeptiske grep i Therese Tungens 'Flaumen'"
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)Noko som slår ein som les Therese Tungen sine noveller, er alle analepsane, altså tilbakeblikk eller retrospeksjonar i tekstane.i I dei to samlingane Ein gong var dei ulvar (2017) og Kjærleik og det som liknar (2019) vender narrasjonen, det vil seie tekstforteljaren, stadig attende til fortidige hendingar, samtaler, møte og livsfasar i karakterane si fortid for å rekonsteksualisere refleksjonar, val ...
