The current study investigated gender (control) and number (target) agreement processing in Northern and non-Northern Norwegians living in Northern Norway. Participants varied in exposure to Northern Norwegian (NN) dialect(s), where number marking differs from most other Norwegian dialects. In a comprehension task involving reading NN dialect writing, P600 effects for number agreement were significantly ...

Brand names are valuable company assets often accompanied by a unique graphical composition (i.e., as logotypes). Recent research has demonstrated that this uniqueness makes brand names and logotypes susceptible to counterfeiting through misspelling by transposition in tasks that require participants to identify correct spellings. However, our understanding of how brand names are incidentally ...

At romaner og skuespill kan ha dokumentariske tendenser er allment kjent, men hva med dikt? Mange forbinder lyrikk med sansning eller følelse framfor analyse, tenkning eller sak. Med utgangspunkt i diktsamlinger av Rune Tuverud, Markus Midré, Espen Stueland og andre diskuteres «sakpoesien», slik den har vokst fram i norsk litteratur fra 1990-tallet og framover. Hva er forholdet mellom det estetiske ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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) ...

The rapid growth of globalisation and the ease of mobility across countries during the past decades have brought about some fundamental changes in the structural organisation of societies. People not only carry their bodies and workforce with them when they move, but they also carry their identities, experiences, cultures, habits and needs. Immigrants may encounter a variety of challenges after they ...

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 ...
