Contested political alliances in fortress Europe: migrants and Europeans in Helon Habila’s Travellers
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-25)Helon Habila’s Travellers was written as a response to the refugee crisis in 2015, and it narrates loosely connected stories of African asylum seekers precariously travelling in Southern and Western European countries seeking shelter. This article discusses the novel’s representation of Europeans and migrants acting together by drawing from Jacques Rancière’s theorization of dissensus as a ... -
Online eye tracking and real-time sentence processing: On opportunities and efficacy for capturing psycholinguistic effects of different magnitudes and diversity
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-01)Online research methods have the potential to facilitate equitable accessibility to otherwise-expensive research resources, as well as to more diverse populations and language combinations than currently populate our studies. In psycholinguistics specifcally, webcam-based eye tracking is emerging as a powerful online tool capable of capturing sentence processing efects in real time. The present ... -
What risk factors for Developmental Language Disorder can tell us about the neurobiological mechanisms of language development
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-21)Language is a complex multidimensional cognitive system that is connected to many neurocognitive capacities. The development of language is therefore strongly intertwined with the development of these capacities and their neurobiological substrates. Consequently, language problems, for example those of children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), are explained by a variety of etiological ... -
Cognitive Neuroscience Perspectives on Language Acquisition and Processing
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-21)The earliest investigations of the neural implementation of language started with examining patients with various types of disorders and underlying brain damage. The advent of neuroimaging tools in the twentieth century drastically changed the landscape of the field of the (cognitive) neuroscience of language, expanding the variety and depth of research questions one could ask without being ... -
Understanding variation in prospective poor decoders: A person-centred approach from kindergarten to Grade 2
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-30)In the present study, we aimed to clarify variation in prospective poor decoders by studying the development of their word decoding skills during the first 1½ years of formal reading education and their unique pre-reading profiles before the onset of formal reading education. Using structural equation modelling and a factorial mixed model analysis of variance (ANOVA), we found autoregression ... -
Sustainability: Critical Reflections on an Apparently Common-Sensical Term
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)In March 20223, the sixth synthesis report penned by the International Panel of Climate Change (Lee et al. 2023) was released. As earlier, the assessments are dire reading and yet again witness of trends going into the wrong direction on almost all important accounts; increase in CO2 emissions, underperforming attempts at cutbacks, rising temperatures on a global scale, missed targets, unpaid ... -
Building a large-scale construct-i-con resource for Russian and Ukrainian: Implications for language description and L2 learning

Structural similarity in third language acquisition
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-22)Language learners typically experience cross-linguistic influence (CLI) from one or several previously acquired languages when acquiring an additional language. Learners of a second language (L2) are influenced by their native languages in all language domains ranging from phonology, lexicon, and morphosyntax, to semantics, discourse, and pragmatics. In third (and subsequent) language (L3/ Ln) ... -
Crosslinguistic influence in L3 acquisition: Evidence from artificial language learning
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-10)This study investigates the role of lexical vs structural similarity in L3 acquisition. We designed a mini-artificial language learning task where the novel L3 was lexically based on Norwegian but included a property that was present in Russian and Greek yet absent in Norwegian (grammatical case). The participants were Norwegian-Russian and Norwegian-Greek bilinguals as well as a group of Norwegian ... -
Äiti 'mor' finsk
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2022)<p>Det finske ordet <i>äiti</i>, som betyr 'mor', er annerledes fra ord man finner i de fleste andre språk i Europa. I disse språkene brukes ord som tilsvarer det norske <i>mamma</i> eller <i>mor</i>. I tysk har man <i>Mutter</i>, i engelsk <i>mother</i>, i fransk <i>mère, maman</i> og i russisk <i>mama</i>. Hvorfor brukes det ikke et lignende ord også på finsk? <p>Finsk er ikke i slekt med ... -
Sinne, samhold og kjendiser. Sykdomsskildringer i skandinavisk samtidslitteratur
(Book; Bok, 2021)Skjønnlitterære og selvbiografiske sykdomsskildringer opplever økt oppmerksomhet både hos den alminnelige leser og hos fagfolk. Genrens popularitet kan forstås som resultat av den åpenheten og interessen som subjektive erfaringer har i dagens kulturelle landskap, og som forlag, sosiale medier og fremveksten av den såkalte virkelighetslitteraturen har skapt en arena for. Boken viser hvordan den ... -

(Book; Bok, 2017)El presente libro incluye catorce trabajos que se enfocan en el estudio de diversos sujetos coloniales que vivieron en los virreinatos americanos entre los siglos XVI y XVIII.

Cross-linguistic influence in bilingual grammars: Evidence from gender assigment in unilingual Dutch and mixed speech
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022)This study reports on grammatical gender assignment in elicited production data from heritage speakers of Turkish, Papiamento, and Spanish in the Netherlands. We selectively target the nominal domain, consisting of a determiner, a noun, and an adjective. Previous studies have demonstrated gender to be vulnerable in bilingual acquisition (e.g., Gathercole & Thomas 2005; Mitrofanova et al. 2018). The ... -
Los trabajos de Sigismunda
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022)Este artículo se centra en la protagonista femenina de la historia septentrional de Cervantes. Como es bien sabido, igual que Persiles / Periandro, la co-protagonista femenina tiene una doble identidad (Alcalá Galán, 1999), aunque la “Sigismunda” del título casi desaparece en el texto bajo el nombre de Auristela que oculta su verdadera identidad. Mucho se ha escrito sobre los trabajos de amor y de ... -
Executive functions are modulated by the context of dual language use: diglossic, bilingual and monolingual older adults
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-27)Studies investigating the role of dual language use in modulating executive functions have reported mixed results, with some studies reporting benefits in older adults. These studies typically focus on bilingual settings, while the role of dual language use in diglossic settings is rarely investigated. In diglossia, the two language varieties are separated by context, making it an ideal test case ... -

Shakespeare in Ibsen's Drama
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2021)Through comparative reading, I elaborate on claims in previous Ibsen research on Shakespeare’s influence on Ibsen. The main point is that aspects of Ibsen’s wayof creating dramatic characters from Brand (1866), Ibsen’s Scandinavian breakthrough, via An Enemy ofthe people (1882) to his last and modernistic play When We Dead Awaken (1899), can be regarded asinfluenced by Shakespeare, ...
