Un cardinal 'y medio': adjetivos y cuantificadores
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021)Pese a los estudios que tratan el tema de la cuantificación mediante numerales en español, existe una cuestión que está poco investigada: las construcciones de cardinal y valor fraccionario (un libro y medio, un kilo y cuarto). El objetivo de este trabajo es arrojar algo de luz sobre sus propiedades sintácticas y semánticas, con atención especial a las construcciones con y medio, que presentan ... -
Language shift and language (re)vitalisation: the roles played by women and men in Northern Fenno-Scandia
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-31)The research question of the present paper is the following: to what degree (if any) is gender relevant as an explanatory factor in, firstly, the process of assimilation and later, the process of (re)vitalisation of indigenous and minority languages in northern Fenno-Scandia (the North Calotte)? The assimilation of the ethnic groups in question was a process initiated and lead by the authorities in ... -
When Three is Company: The Relation Between Aspect and Metaphor in Russian Aspectual Triplets
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-27)The focus of the present study is the relation between metaphor and aspect: are certain grammatical forms more prone to be used metaphorically? We approach this issue through a puzzling case of Russian aspectual triplets. The study is based on the distributions of the unprefixed imperfective verb gruzit’ (IPFV1) ‘load’, its perfective counterparts (PFVs) and prefixed secondary imperfectives (IPFV2s) ... -
Stem Alternations in the Passive in Sierra Miwok
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2021)Central Sierra Miwok (CSM; Freeland1951) is described as having root-and-template morphology (for a recent approach and further references, see Downing 2006). There are four stem forms, referred to by number, and identified by their place in the conjugational paradigms. The exact form of each stem depends on the phonological shape of the root, specifically whether it contains two or three consonants ... -
Bilingualism and Aging: Implications for (Delaying) Neurocognitive Decline
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-02)As a result of advances in healthcare, the worldwide average life expectancy is steadily increasing. However, this positive trend has societal and individual costs, not least because greater life expectancy is linked to higher incidence of age-related diseases, such as dementia. Over the past few decades, research has isolated various protective “healthy lifestyle” factors argued to contribute ... -
Bilingual experience affects white matter integrity across the lifespan
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-25)Bilingualism has been associated with increases in compensatory mechanisms to age-related neurocognitive decline thus delaying dementia symptom onset and leading to a more favorable trajectory of neurocognitive aging. However, most research to date has examined bilingualism-induced effects on neurocognition within older age ranges or young adults – with middle-aged individuals typically not being ... -

Labour Struggles in Digital Capitalism: Challenges and Opportunities for Worker Organisation, Mobilisation, and Activism in Germany
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-27)In this article, we investigate labour struggles under the condition of digital capitalism. The main research question this paper addresses is: How do German unions evaluate and respond to the rapidly accelerating digitalisation of economy and work? Based on a series of interviews with union representatives in Germany, we trace recent developments in an increasingly digitised economy and outline ... -
Листи Івана Зілинського до Олафа Брока: невідома сторінка українсько-норвезьких наукових стосунків
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2021)This article proceeds investigating the archive of the first Norwegian Professor of Slavic languages Olaf Broch and is particularly focused on several letters sent by the Ukrainian linguist Ivan Zilyns’kyi. It is known that the Norwegian professor Broch and Ukrainian student Zilyns’kyi met in Vienna in 1905, but it remained suprisingly unknown they corresponded for 43 years until now. These letters ... -
"There is (almost) 0 knowledge about CLIL" - CLIL på andre sprog end engelsk
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2021-12)Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) findes kun i meget begrænset omfang på andre sprog end engelsk. Der arbejdes sjældent med overgange mellem uddannelsesniveauer, og CLIL forbindes næsten aldrig med en flersprogethedsdidaktik. Sådan kan man lidt groft sammenfatte resultaterne fra en spørgeskemaundersøgelse, som blev besvaret i foråret 2021 af eksperter fra 29 lande. -
Giellariššu: Indigenous language revitalisation in the city
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2021)About 10% of all pupils in grades 1–10 who learn Sámi in Norwegian schools live in the city of Tromsø in Northern Norway. This group totalled 232 pupils in the school year 2020/2021, and the pupils went to over 20 different schools. All but one were pupils of North Sámi, and a handful also received instruction in South Sámi. In Umeå in Sweden, 42 pupils attended mother tongue classes in Sámi in the ... -
Fremstillingen av nordmenn i okkupasjonsavisa Deutsche Polarzeitung, senere Polar-Kurier (1941-1945)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-11)Propaganda hadde stor betydning i den tyske nasjonalsosialismen, og i denne sammenheng var pressen et viktig redskap. Det ble derfor etablert tyske aviser i de okkuperte områdene. Denne artikkelen tar for seg representasjoner av nordmenn over tid i en av disse avisene i Norge: Deutsche Polarzeitung, senere Polar-Kurier, utgitt i Tromsø 9. februar 1941–6. mai 1945. Jeg viser at fremstillingene av ... -
Valence, arousal and concreteness mediate word association
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021)<p><b>Background:</b> Given the impact of lexical properties such as valence, arousal, and concreteness in language processing, recent computational methods have been designed to extrapolate these values from different sources, such as word co-occurrence or word association corpora. These methods have been proven to be particularly successful approaches to extract lexical features from word ... -
Posición excepcional de sintagmas preposicionales en el sintagma nominal
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021)Este artículo analiza el caso excepcional de ciertos sintagmas preposicionales que aparecen en posición prenominal dentro de los constituyentes nominales. Contra la regla general de la gramática del español, que prohíbe los sintagmas preposicionales antepuestos (*un con leche café), estas estructuras permiten la anteposición: el hasta ayer ministro de turismo, el para muchos mejor escritor vivo en ... -
Krashen’s claims through a usage-based lens
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-01)In the following, I will briefly outline how Krashen's Input Hypothesis, Acquisition/Learning distinction, and the Natural Order Hypothesis hold up when seen through the lens of usage‐ based approaches. A number of frameworks fall under the umbrella label of usage‐based approaches, including cognitive‐functional linguistics (Evans et al., 2007), usage‐based construction grammar (Goldberg, 2006, ... -
Hamsuns Markens grøde (1917) som sideskrift til Johan Turis Muitalus sámiid birra – En bog om lappernes liv (1910)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-09)I 1911 skrev Hamsun en begeistret omtale av Johan Turis Muitalus sámiid birra – En bog om lappernes liv (1910), en bok som i dag regnes som en klassiker innen samisk litteratur. I denne nylesningen av Markens grøde (1917) argumenterer jeg for at Hamsuns nobelprisroman kan betraktes som et sideskrift til Turis bok. I likhet med Turis bok om samene er Hamsuns bonderoman en bredt anlagt beskrivelse av ... -
Prepositional phrases and case in North American (heritage) Icelandic
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-15)The paper investigates the use of PPs, specifically prepositions and the case marking on their DP arguments, in moribund North American (heritage) Icelandic (NAmIce), using data from a map task experiment. Since prepositional phrases combine semantic properties with morphosyntactic properties, PPs allow us to investigate the relative vulnerability of both domains at once. Our results show that ... -
Motion event descriptions in Swedish, French, Thai and Telugu: a study in post-Talmian motion event typology
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-04)Motion-event typology has moved into a “post-Talmian” terrain of approaches focusing on an open-ended number of patterns across languages and constructions. Following a proposal to distinguish between four typological clusters, we systematically compared the motion event descriptions in four languages suggested to exemplify these clusters: Swedish, French, Thai and Telugu, with the help of an ... -
Why prefixes (almost) never participate in vowel harmony
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-06)One of the most common ways of morphological marking is affixation, morphemes are classified according to their position. In languages with affixal morphology, suffixes and prefixes are the most common types of affixes. Despite several proposals, it has been impossible to identify solid generalisations about the behaviour of prefixes, in opposition to suffixes. This article argues that the reason ... -
Kjønna språk og språkbruk før og no
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-12)Denne artikkelen, som har utgangspunkt i eit plenumsforedrag med same tittel, halde på SONE-konferansen i 2019, er eit oversyn over språk og kjønn-forskinga i Norge, slik denne forskinga spring ut av feminismen og den generelle sosiolingvistikken. Langt på veg speglar den norske forskinga den internasjonale, særleg den angloamerikanske. Såleis har det vore naudsynt å referere til og å gjere greie ...
