On the status of Concordantia Temporum in Spanish: An experimental approach
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-23)Subjunctive clauses in Spanish are traditionally claimed to obey Concordantia Temporum (CT), an agreement in tense between the matrix and subjunctive clauses. Treating this phenomenon literally as agreement is problematic, so an analysis in which CT falls out from general principles of tense interpretation, as in Laca (2010a), is very attractive. Nevertheless, this analysis seems to make some <i>prima ... -
The Reformation and the linguistic situation in Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-08-05)The article gives a short account of the development of the spoken language from Old Norwegian to Modern Norwegian, the transition from Norwegian to Danish as the written language in Norway and the language of the church around the Reformation. It is argued that the changes in the spoken language were a long-term development completed, on the whole, at the time of the Reformation, that the transition ... -

Manufacturing Consent in Video Games—The Hegemonic Memory Politics of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (2015)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-11-11)In this article I argue that the structural conditions of global capitalism and postcolonialism encourage game developers to rearticulate hegemonic memory politics and suppress subaltern identities. This claim is corroborated via an application of Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky’s propaganda model to the Japanese-developed video game Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. This case study highlights ... -

Child second language acquisition without communication
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-08-30)This thesis investigates child second language acquisition without communication. This is a case study of a Norwegian four-year-old girl who has acquired English only by watching television. It is interesting to investigate language acquisition through television as language is argued to be a social phenomenon. It is predicted that the child, Lucy, will have no problems acquiring English structures ... -
Google or privacy, the inevitable trade-off
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-09-16)This paper investigates the privacy awareness of a group of Norwegian Google users and their understanding of the personal data Google amasses from them. The study also investigates the trade-off between Google services and privacy. A convergent/mixed design method is used in survey research, where qualitative and quantitative data is collected at the same time. For this purpose, a semi-structured ... -
Bruk av telekommunikasjonsrobot på universitet. Materialisme, relasjoner og personvern
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-11-02)Teknologi er en stor del av menneskers hverdag. Denne oppgaven vil med en materialistisk tilnærming til medieforskning se nærmere på fjernstudenters bruk av telekommunikasjonsrobot for å delta i undervisning når de ikke har mulighet til å fysisk møte opp. Den ser nærmere på hvordan teknologien muliggjør ulik bruk, og hvordan den er lagt opp til å brukes. Ved å se på roboten gjennom et teknologisk ... -

Los clíticos marginales y el componente de manera
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-01)Este trabajo estudia los llamados clíticos marginales que forman parte de ciertas construcciones idiomáticas de naturaleza verbal (<i>jorobar<u>la</u>, tomar<u>la</u>, pirárse<u>las</u>, jugárse<u>la</u></i>), concentrándose en dos aspectos de su gramática: su contribución de significado y la tendencia a aparecer como formas femeninas. Se propone que en ambos casos la respuesta se relaciona con la ... -
Universal linguistic hierarchies are not innately wired. Evidence from multiple adjectives
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-08-01)<p><i>Background - </i>Linguists and psychologists have explained the remarkable similarities in the orderings of linguistic elements across languages by suggesting that our inborn ability for language makes available certain innately wired primitives. Different types of adjectives, adverbs, and other elements in the functional spine are considered to occupy fixed positions via innate hierarchies ... -
Prepositional Phrase Attachment Ambiguities in German. A Cross-Dialectal Experimental Study
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-05-15)This thesis addresses the production and perception of sentences with ambiguous prepositional phrase attachment in Standard German. In the first part of the study, an informed native speaker produced prosodically disambiguated sentences, which were analysed acoustically for disambiguation cues. In the second part, these sentences were then presented in a perception test where respondents were asked ... -
Verbal Symbols and Demonstrations Across Modalities
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-22)In this paper, I develop a new theory of the ingredients of semantic composition for the verb phrase, building on work in Ramchand (2018). I argue that the essential properties of this new approach make possible a new rapprochement between the theoretical analyses of symbolic verbal meaning across the visual and auditory modalities. The innovation of the new theory is that it partitions the verb ... -
Smarthus og materialitet. En materialistisk tilnærming til smarthus, sett i lys av media og materialitet, materie og miljø
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-09-05)Teknologi og digitale produkter tar en stadig større del av vår tilkoblede hverdag. Denne oppgaven vil med en materialistisk tilnærming til medieforskning se nærmere på smarthus, hvor hensikten er å vise til andre, ofte underkommuniserte aspekter ved medieteknologi og digitalisering sett fra et miljøperspektiv, som sjeldent adresseres av massemediene. Ved å vise til en undersøkelse som viser til ... -
Memoria Dei: Minnets hermeneutikk i Augustins Confessiones
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-06-24)Denne artikkelen foretar en lesning av Augustins utlegning om erindringen i bok 10 av <i>Confessiones</i> (<i>Bekjennelser</i>). Jeg foreslår at Augustin selv opererer med en implisitt hermeneutisk tilnærming til sin fortid, til minnet og til seg selv i denne delen av verket. Ved hjelp av Ricoeurs hermeneutiske modell illustrert som en bue fra overfladisk fortolkning via ulike erkjennelsesetapper ... -
Patografien som genre og funksjon
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-25)I løpet av de siste femti år har det vært en sterk vekst i antall bøker knyttet til personlige sykdomserfaringer, såkalte patografier. Genren har tradisjonelt vært forbeholdt dokumentariske skildringer av pasient eller pårørende, men jeg argumenterer i denne artikkelen for at også skjønnlitteratur med selvbiografiske trekk som tematiserer sykdomsefaringer skal inkluderes. Ved hjelp av Ulla-Carin ... -
