Hippocampal adaptations in Mild Cognitive Impairment patients are modulated by bilingual language experiences
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-24)Bilingualism has been shown to contribute to increased resilience against cognitive aging. One of the key brain structures linked to memory and dementia symptom onset, the hippocampus, has been observed to adapt in response to bilingual experience – at least in healthy individuals. However, in the context of neurodegenerative pathology, it is yet unclear what role previous bilingual experience ... -

Germanic diminutives: a case study of a gap in Norwegian
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-03)It is well known that German and Dutch have productive diminutive morphology. What is much less discussed is the fact that several other Germanic languages do not have such productive morphology, notably the Scandinavian languages. Instead, these languages form compounds to express a diminutive meaning. This paper addresses the puzzle of why the Scandinavian languages do not have productive ... -
Rhetorical question comprehension by Italian–German bilingual children
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-12)This study investigates for the first time the comprehension of rhetorical questions (RhQs) in bilingual children. RhQs are non-canonical questions, as they are not used to request information, but to express the speaker’s belief that the answer is already obvious. This special pragmatic meaning often arises by means of specific prosodic and lexical-syntactic cues. Being childhood learners, ... -
Adjective position in the code-switched speech of Spanish and Papiamento heritage speakers in the Netherlands: Individual differences and methodological considerations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-02)Introduction: This study examines adjective-noun order in code-switched constructions by heritage speakers of Spanish and Papiamento in the Netherlands. Given that Dutch differs from Spanish and Papiamento regarding the default position of the adjective, word order in the nominal domain creates a so-called “conflict site” in code-switching. Most accounts of word order patterns in code-switching focus ... -
Rëâdīńg wõrdš wîth ōrńåmêńtš: is there a cost?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-29)Introduction: Recent research has reported that adding non-existent diacritical marks to a word produces a minimal reading cost compared to the intact word. Here we examined whether this minimal reading cost is due to: (1) the resilience of letter detectors to the perceptual noise (i.e., the cost should be small and comparable for words and nonwords) or (2) top-down lexical processes that normalize ... -
Decolonizing the Museum: Unhighlighting Nordnorsk Kunstmuseum’s Iconic Laestadius Teaching Laplanders (1840)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023-03-08)This essay presents a decolonial analysis of the French painter François-Auguste Biard’s <i>Le Pasteur Laestadius instruisant des Lapons</i> (1840). A highlight at Nordnorsk Kunstmuseum (Northern Norway Art Museum) in Romsa/Tromsø, Biard’s work represents the pastor Lars Levi Laestadius (1800–1861) preaching to a group of Sámi people outside their <i>goahtis</i> in winter. Exhibited in 1841 at the ... -
The importance of a complementary approach when working with historical documents
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)Purpose - The purpose of this study is to show that the neo-documentary – or complimentary – approach in Library and Information Science by no means is conservative, but highly necessary also in today’s digitized media landscape. An example from a digitized photo archive is chosen to demonstrate the importance of a complimentary analysis that considers both material aspects as well as social and ... -

Norwegian agreement clashes on the football field
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)Kibrik 2019 argues that a cognition-to-form approach to agreement is superior to the traditional form-to-form approach that is fraught with problems. We concur that it makes more sense to examine agreement from the perspective of cognitive representation and present a small study of how the semantics of adjectives contributes to the use of singular vs. plural agreement with Norwegian collective nouns ... -
Name-calling: The Russian 'new Vocative' and its status
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2019-06-18)Henning Andersen (2012) points out that the Russian “new Vocative” (e.g., мам! ‘mama!’, Саш! ‘Sasha!’) presents a series of unusual behaviors that set it apart from ordinary case marking. Andersen argues that the Vocative should not be considered a declensional word form of nouns. The Russian Vocative is certainly an uncommon linguistic category, but does this entail setting up a new tran- scategorial ... -
Current issues and directions in Optimality Theory — Constraints and their interaction
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2018)This chapter provides a detailed outline of the types of constraint interaction that have been proposed by phonologists working in Optimality Theory (OT), demonstrating that constraints can be organized and interact in a wide variety of ways. It addresses the issue of the content or formalization of constraints, including functional grounding. OT was conceived as a generative theory of constraint ... -
How to threaten in Russian: a constructionist approach

The major purpose of the current study is to investigate what constitutes a threat in Russian and how threats are related to other constructions. Unlike ... -
Una nota sobre los adjetivos de preferencia
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-24)Los adjetivos de preferencia (favorito, preferido, predilecto) tienen propiedades gramaticales que los diferencian de otras clases de adjetivos, asimilables o no a los superlativos. Este trabajo propone un análisis de su comportamiento que se basa en la idea de que, frente a otros adjetivos, estos elementos encabezan estructuras léxicas de relación donde ellos son el núcleo de la estructura, no ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-26)Examining Ludwig York Choris’s diary, which was first published in 1999, and representations of Aleut, Kamchadal, and Chukchi people in his Voyage pittoresque autour du monde (Paris 1822), my article discusses methods of aesthetic and scientific visualization in an early nineteenth-century research expedition. The album was the outcome of Choris’s participation in the Russian circumnavigation of the ... -

We will show that these nouns, deverbal or no, define different classes of general eventualities that are not ijnstantiated in specific time periods or points, ... -
Syntactic Features
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2017)Syntactic features are formal properties of syntactic objects which determine how they behave with respect to syntactic constraints and operations (such as selection, licensing, agreement, and movement). Syntactic features can be contrasted with properties which are purely phonological, morphological or semantic, but many features are relevant both to syntax and morphology, or to syntax and semantics, ... -
Morphology in Cognitive Linguistics
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2017-04-26)Cognitive linguistics and morphology bear the promise of a happy marriage. Cognitive linguistics provides theoretical concepts and analytical tools for empirical analysis, while morphology offers fertile ground for testing hypotheses and refining core concepts. It is no wonder, then, that numerous contributions to the field of morphology have been couched in cognitive linguistics, and that morphological ...
