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. ... -
Grammatisk hokjønn i trøndersk barnespråk: Ein korpusstudie
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-12)Det siste tiåret har det blitt forska mykje på grammatisk kjønn i Noreg, både på korleis barn lærer det og korleis det grammatiske kjønnssystemet er i endring. Basert på korpusdata ser Rodina & Westergaard (2013) på korleis unge barn i Tromsø lærer seg kjønnssystemet, det vil seie barn yngre enn tre år. Dei finn at barna ikkje har problem med bunden form, men at dei slit med kongruens på andre ... -
Prefixed negation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-08-22)All over Scandinavia the negative prefix o/u/ó [1] productively attaches to passive participles (and to some extent to adjectives as well), just like e.g. un in English (as in unwashed). In the northern parts of the Swedish speaking area, o can attach to active past participles (the socalled supine) as well. In the ScanDiaSyn survey, we investigated to what extent o prefixation to active ... -
Double object constructions: active verbs
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-08-22)In the ScanDiaSynsurvey, certain aspects of double object constructions were investigated. For double object verbs in the active diathesis, the focus was on nonselected or "free" indirect objects. More specifically, the question focused on was to which extent nonprototypical ditransitive verbs can take a recipient arguments realized as noun phrases in a position before the direct object. The ... -
Free reflexives: Reflexives without a sentence-internal antecedent
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-08-22)Unbound reflexives exist in Icelandic and Faroese in contexts where an “author” or a logophoric center has been established in the discourse, as has been discussed by Maling (1984) and Sigurðsson (1990) for Icelandic, and Barnes (1986) for Faroese. -
Determiner-Number Specification and Non-Local Agreement Computation in L1 and L2 Processing
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-24)The present study employed a self-paced reading task in conjunction with concurrent acceptability judgements to examine how similar or diferent English natives and Chinese learners of English are when processing non-local agreement. We also tested how determiner-number specifcation modulates number agreement computation in both native and non-native processing by manipulating number marking with ... -
Structural and phonological cues for gender assignment in monolingual and bilingual children acquiring German. Experiments with real and nonce words
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-04)We investigate the acquisition of grammatical gender marking in German by monolingual children as well as German-Russian bilingual children who grow up in Germany as heritage speakers of Russian. We ask to what extent monolingual and bilingual children use phonological and/or structural cues to assign nominal gender, and to what extent they rely on lexical knowledge. To this end, we designed three ... -
Fine-grained time course of verb aspect processing
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-25)Sentence processing is known to be highly incremental. Speakers make incremental commitments as the sentence unfolds, dynamically updating their representations based on the smallest pieces of information from the incoming speech stream. Less is known about linguistic processing on the sub-word level, especially with regard to abstract grammatical information. This study employs the Visual World ... -
Double object constructions: passive verbs
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-08-22)In the North Germanic languages there are at least two highly interesting issues tied to passive double object verbs: 1. The promotion symmetry: both direct objects and indirect objects can be promoted to subject under passive in many North Germanic varieties. 2. Restrictions on verbs that can take indirect objects in passives: many verbs that take two objects in the active voice, cannot have both ... -
The verb phrase: argument structure and particle placement
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-08-22)The Scandinavian languages show fairly little variation with respect to the internal syntax of the verb phrase. In general, the verb phrase is head initial, i.e., the direct object always follows the main verb (VOorder) -
Number sensitive anaphors and short distance pronouns
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-08-22)Reflexive pronouns do not in carry number information, as opposed to regular object pronouns and possessive pronouns, as shown below in the contrast between third person reflexive pronouns (12) and first person object/reflexive pronouns (34) -

Binding and co-reference
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-08-22)There is a fair amount of variation between and within the Scandinavian varieties with respect to binding, anaphors and coreference restrictions on pronouns and noun phrases. The variation between the languages has been discussed and analyzed in e.g. Holmberg and Platzack (1995) and Thráinsson (2008), and more finegrained variation within the languages has been discussed by e.g. Tania Strahan ... -
The Middle Field
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-08-22)This section covers a wide range of phenomena that are related to what we can call the middle field of the clause. We have included chapters that deal both with the placement of arguments in the middle field (excluding argument structure inside the verb phrase, which is dealt with in the section on the verb phrase, see Lundquist 2014a), and chapters about auxiliaries and verbmorphology. The topic ... -

"Naturfolk" i teori og praksis: Skildringen av samene og den nordlige kulturen i Knud Rasmussens Lapland"
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-07-25)This article focuses on the portrayal of reindeer Sami in the Danish explorer Knud Rasmussen's early book Lapland from 1907, a work that has received relatively little attention in Rasmussen scholarship. His characterizations of the Sami reflect conventional, paternalistic ideas of race and culture at the turn of the century as well as romantic-sentimental conceptions of indigenous peoples as noble ... -
Dostevsky's novels as classic tragedies
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-11-16)Friedrich Nietzsche’s treatise “Die Geburt der Tragödie aus dem Geiste der Musik” (1872) has, with the symbolist poet and critic Vyacheslav Ivanov as an important intermediary, exerted a strong influence on Dostoevsky scholarship which can be traced up to this day. The present short paper discusses some aspects of this tradition of interpretation. -

Tidlig fremmedspråkundervisning på barneskolen - et nødvendig grunnlag for en god nok språkkompetanse i framtiden
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-09-30)I det siste tiåret har det vært gjennomført to forsøk med såkalt tidlig start på 2. fremmedspråk i Norge. De deltagende barneskolene tilbød i disse forsøkene undervisning i et 2. fremmedspråk etter engelsk. Evalueringene konkluderte med, etter begge forsøk, at elevene som oftest stortrives med å lære seg et 2. fremmedspråk allerede på barneskolen. Samtidig ble det avdekket et klart forskningsbehov, ... -
Norwegian Compounds and Corresponding Constructions in Russian: The Case of Nouns with Deverbal Heads
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-03)This article presents a corpus study of Norwegian compounds with deverbal heads (e.g., papirproduksjon ‘paper production’ from produsere ‘produce’) and corresponding constructions in Russian, such as the genitive (proizvodstvo bumagi ‘paper production’), the adjective (bumažnoe proizvodstvo ‘paper production’), the preposition (priglašenie na užin ‘dinner invitation’), and compound constructions ...
