    • Digital Film Preservation: The Search for the Original 

      Skare, Roswitha (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-12)
      The transition from photochemical to digital has without doubt profoundly affected filmmaking and film distribution. But digitization also has consequences to the preservation and exhibition of films produced in the analogue era. The advantages of digitization of film are obvious: the audience gets easy access to a digital copy and, at the same time, the photochemical original (or what is left ...
    • Opera as multimedia document 

      Lund, Niels Windfeld (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-06)
      Opera can be considered a multimedia document created through a complex process involving multiple people and media. Opera arose in the 17th century as a way to synthesize multiple art forms. This work offers a panoramic overview of the historic development of opera, including examples of key works along this trajectory. It closes with some questions about the future of opera.
    • Etternamnssystemet i bygd og by på slutten av 1800-talet - ei samanlikning av Hamar, Stange og Romedal 

      Alhaug, Gulbrand (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-07)
      I denne artikkelen vil eg samanlikne etternamnssystemet i Hamar, Stange og Romedal slik det var på slutten av 1800-talet. Ettersom Hamar er ein by, og Stange og Romedal landkommunar, vil denne un-dersøkinga samtidig innebera ei kontrastering mellom bygd og by (jf. overskrifta).
    • Byron´s Corsair and the Boundaries of Sympathy 

      Falke, Cassandra (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-02)
      Contemporary reviewers of Byron’s work often noted his skill in cultivating sympathy for outlaw figures – a skill that was admired, but also worried over since it implied sympathy’s independence from a moral code. Recent scholarship about sympathy in the Romantic period has not focused much on Byron, but this essay highlights acomplexity and originality in his invocation of sympathy that has been ...
    • Algorithms, contexts, governance: An introduction to the special issue 

      Pötzsch, Holger; Wijermars, Mariëlle; Gritsenko, Daria; Markham, Annette (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-11)
      This introduction to the special issue on algorithmic governance in context offers an outline of the field and summarizes each contribution to the issue.
    • Krigen i Ukraina: det språklege bakteppet 

      Nesset, Tore (Chronicle; Kronikk, 2022)
      Når den russiske presidenten hevdar at Ukraina høyrer heime i det russiske imperiet, viser han mellom anna til språklege tilhøve. Ukrainsk er ikkje noko eige språk, blir det sagt. Dei færraste språkvetarar vil vere samde i dette. La oss sjå nærmare på dei faktiske forholda. Korleis er slektskapen mellom ukrainsk og russisk? Kor ulike er dei to språka? Korleis har forholdet mellom ukrainsk og russisk ...
    • Recycling in Babel: The Impact of Foreign Languages in Rule Learning 

      Antón, Eneko; Soleto, Natalia B.; Dunabeitia Landaburu, Jon Andoni (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-27)
      Environmental decisions and prosocial behaviors have been shown to be emotionally mediated, and language is at the core of emotions. The language context can alter the way decisions are made, and using a foreign language tends to favor an analytic approach to the decision and reduce its emotional resonance. In the present work, we explored whether or not the strategic use of a native vs. a non-native ...
    • Individual differences in bilingual word recognition: The role of experiential factors and word frequency in cross-language lexical priming 

      Chaouch-Orozco, Adel; González Alonso, Jorge; Rothman, Jason (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-22)
      In studies of bilingual word recognition with masked priming, first language (L1) primes activate their second language (L2) translation equivalents in lexical decision tasks, but effects in the opposite direction are weaker (Wen & van Heuven, 2017). This study seeks to clarify the relative weight of stimulus-level (frequency) and individual-level (L2 proficiency, L2 exposure/use) factors in the ...
    • It Takes a Village: Using Network Science to Identify the Effect of Individual Differences in Bilingual Experience for Theory of Mind 

      Navarro, Ester; DeLuca, Vincent; Rossi, Eleonora (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-09)
      An increasing amount of research has examined the effects of bilingualism on performance in theory of mind (ToM) tasks. Bilinguals outperform monolinguals in ToM when comparing groups. However, it is unclear what aspects of the bilingual experience contribute to this effect in a dynamic construct like ToM. To date, bilingualism has been conceptualized as a dichotic skill that is distinct from ...
    • Future directions in examining neurological adaptation to bilingual experiences 

      DeLuca, Vincent (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-16)
      In recent years, research examining the neurocognitive effects of bilingualism has undergone a shift in focus towards examining the neurocognitive effects of individual differences within specific aspects of language experience. The DeLuca et al study advances this direction in showing a specificity of neural adaptations to separate aspects of language experience. However, this approach is an early ...
    • Documentation, Information and the Animal Connection 

      Grenersen, Geir (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-12)
      The article elaborates on the informational relationship between nature, animals and humans. In traditional societies, nature and animals are rich sources of information and documentation, as seen in Sámi reindeer husbandry. Today, research on animal behaviour has shown that animals are capable of sophisticated communication with humans. In the field of documentation and information studies, Marcia ...
    • A Note on Resilience Perspectives in Public Library Research: Paths Towards Research Agendas 

      Vårheim, Andreas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-12)
      Resilience is the ability to cope with change. The concept of resilience originating in the natural sciences has been applied in a variety of disciplines, from physics through ecology and social ecology to psychology and cultural studies. In public library research, very little resilience research has been conducted. The derived concepts of community resilience and information resilience have been ...
    • The Struggle for Existence. Ibsen's The Wild Duck (Vildanden , 1884) 

      Wærp, Lisbeth Pettersen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-12)
      In The Wild Duck the struggle for existence is humorously referred to in the dialogue:<p> <p>FRU SØRBY. Kammerherrerne mener, at bedes man til middag, så skal man også arbejde for føden, herr Ekdal.<p><p> DEN FEDE HERRE. I et godt madhus er det en ren fornøjelse. <p><p>DEN TYNDHÅREDE. Herre gud, når det gælder kampen for tilværelsen, så – (Ibsen 2009a, 27–28)<sup>1</sup><p><p>Moreover, the symbolism ...
    • Examining the contribution of markedness to the L2 processing of Spanish person agreement: An event-related potentials study 

      Alemán Bañón, José; Miller, David; Rothman, Jason (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-10)
      We used event-related potentials to investigate how markedness impacts person agreement in English-speaking learners of L2-Spanish. Markedness was examined by probing agreement with both first-person (marked) and third-person (unmarked) subjects. Agreement was manipulated by crossing first-person subjects with third-person verbs and vice-versa. Native speakers showed a P600 for both errors, larger ...
    • The effect of bilingualism on brain development from early childhood to young adulthood. 

      Pliatsikas, Christos; Meteyard, Lotte; Verissimo, Joao; DeLuca, Vincent; Shattuck, Kyle; Ullman, Michael (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-20)
      Bilingualism afects the structure of the brain in adults, as evidenced by experience-dependent grey and white matter changes in brain structures implicated in language learning, processing, and control. However, limited evidence exists on how bilingualism may infuence brain development. We examined the developmental patterns of both grey and white matter structures in a cross-sectional study of ...
    • Vi må halde kontakten med russiske intellektuelle 

      Nesset, Tore (Chronicle; Kronikk, 2022-03-18)
      Krigen i Ukraina har til fulle vist kva slags regime vi har i vårt største granneland. Russland er styrt av menneske som har rana til seg store verdiar frå folket, og som ikkje skyr noko middel i den blodige krigen dei har sett i gang.<p> <p>I ein slik situasjon er det forståeleg at somme tar til orde for å kutte alt samarbeid med Russland. Eg vil argumentere for at det ikkje er klokt. Eg vil ...
    • Vi må halde kontakten med russiske akademikarar og intellektuelle 

      Nesset, Tore (Chronicle; Kronikk, 2022-03-19)
      «Eit kvart folk, og særleg det russiske, vil klare å skilje ekte patriotar frå avskum og forrædarar og kjem ganske enkelt til å spytte dei ut som eit insekt som tilfeldigvis har hamna i munnen.» <p> <p>Med disse orda vende den russiske presidenten seg til folket i Russland for nokre dagar sidan. Språket er grovt, og meldinga er klar: Har du kontakt med vesten, skal det gå deg ille.<p> <p>Krigen ...
    • Fire forslag for forsknings­samarbeid med Russland 

      Nesset, Tore (Chronicle; Kronikk, 2022-03-25)
      Norske myndigheter har bestemt at vi skal fryse samarbeid på institusjonsnivå. Samtidig har myndighetene gjort det klart at Norge ikke deltar i noen akademisk boikott. Hvordan navigerer vi i denne gråsonen?
    • Variable V2 in Norwegian Heritage Language: An effect of crosslinguistic influence? 

      Westergaard, Marit; Lohndal, Terje; Lundquist, Bjørn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-28)
      This paper discusses possible attrition of verb second (V2) word order in Norwegian heritage language by investigating a corpus of spontaneous speech produced by 50 2nd–4th generation heritage speakers in North America. The study confirms previous findings that V2 word order is generally stable in heritage situations, but nevertheless finds approximately 10% V2 violations. The cases of non-V2 word ...
