The phonological status of onsets with multiple articulations in Kalahari Basin Area languages
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-11-01)Languages spoken in the Kalahari Basin Area abound with phonetic complexity, particularly with regard to clicks and stops.

Tromsø dialect
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 1989-09)The Tromsø dialect situation today is probably typical of many Northern Norwegian town dialects. It has developed from an old local non-standard speech variety which was very similar to the present local rural dialects.

"Niemand hat die Absicht, die Mauer abzureißen!“ - Eine Untersuchung der Behandlung der Themen Wende und Mauerfall in norwegischen DaF-Lehrbücher zwischen 2006 und 2020
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-05-15)„Die Wende“ og Berlinmurens fall markerer et vendepunkt i moderne tysk historie, som førte til gjenforeningen i 1990, etter å ha vært delt i to i 41 år som to land. I fremmedspråk er et av læreplanmålene å kunne utforske og gjøre rede for mangfold, samfunnsforhold og historiske hendelser i målspråkområdet, og dermed er det naturlig at dette blir undervist om i tysktimene. I denne masteroppgaven vil ... -
Hallo, ich heiße .... und ich bin .... Jahre alt: Der lexikalische Ansatz im Fremdsprachenunterricht in Norwegen
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2023-05-15)"Kommunikasjon" er et av læreplanens kjerneelement, mens derimot eksplisitt språkviten står ikke sentralt i LK20. Dette masterarbeidet er derfor en utredning av den leksikalske fremgangsmåten i andrespråksinnlæring som beskrevet av Lewis (2008). Her stilles det fire spørsmål: 1. Hva er den leksikalske fremgangsmåten?, 2. er den leksikalske fremgangsmåten forenbar med LK20?, 3. Er prinsippene fra den ...
