The Russian Constructicon facilitates the first large-scale investigation of reduplication across a representative ... -
«Æg e no pærre et stakkars finn»: Skriftbasert karikering av samiske språkbrukeres norsk i aviser på 1900-tallet
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024)Det er grunn til å anta at språkmøter til alle tider har involvert en bevissthet om avvikende trekk i kontaktprega språkvarieteter. Videre kan slike trekk på ulike måter bli emblematiske for nettopp ei gruppe av språkbrukere – ofte innlærere av et majoritetsspråk – og gjennomgå indeksikaliseringsprosesser som gjør dem anvendelige i forskjellige slags imitasjon og karikering. Både skjønnlitterære og ... -

Rupturing the illusion of Nordic peace - and where to go from here
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-06-28)The relationship between Nordic peace and levels of militarisation needs interogation, including how peace has relied upon previous levels of militarisation, and what role militarisation plays today. This is particularly important as civilian involvement in conflict escalation complicates easy (an increasingly blurry) divides between civilian and military, peace and war. -

Looks at what isn't there: eye movements on a blank screen when processing negation in a first and a second language
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-10-10)Is negation more difficult to process than affirmation? If it is, does processing negation in a second language (L2) compound the difficulty compared to the first language (L1)? This article addresses the issues of difficulties in processing different types of negation in the L1 and L2 by looking at the differences in the ways in which comprehenders anticipate upcoming visual information during ... -
Disease, Corruption, and Contempt for Weakness: Rereading a Doll's House
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-10-31)The reason why Nora in Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House (1879) went to the extent of forging her father’s signature in order to take out a large loan was that her husband, Torvald Helmer, was “dangerously ill” (Ibsen 2016, 117, hereafter referred to by page numbers only) and needed a longer stay in the south in order to recover. And he recovers, is “[f]it as a fiddle,” and has no relapses; he “hasn’t ... -
Braiding Sámi Diversity and Sámi Pedagogy into Early Childhood Teacher Education: An Example from Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-11-04)The framework plan for kindergartens in Norway emphasizes knowledge of Indigenous Sámi culture among the core values of pedagogical practice. Preservice students in early childhood teacher education (ECTE) are thus obliged to learn about Sámi culture. We explored and developed collaborative teaching interventions for Sámi topics. We aimed to “braid” Sámi diversity into our teaching and make the ... -
What types of insight do expert students gain during work with ill-structured problems in mathematics?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-10-21)In our study, we explored how two high-performing mathematics students gained insight while working on ill-structured problems. We followed their problem-solving process through taskbased interviews and observed a similar sequence of insights in both participants’ work- (1) Spontaneous insight, (2) Passive gradual insight, (3) Sudden insight, and (4) Active gradual insight. An impasse occurred ... -
Understanding ‘many’ through the lens of Ukrainian багато
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-10-17)We reveal an ongoing language change in Ukrainian involving a construction with a sub- ject comprised of the indefinite quantifier багато ‘many’ modifying a noun phrase in the Genitive Plural. Number agreement on the verb varies, allowing both Singular (in 69.1% of attestations) and Plural (in 30.9% of attestations). Based on statistical analysis of corpus data, we investigate the influence of the ... -

Neurocognitive mechanisms of emotional interference in native and foreign languages: evidence from proficient bilinguals
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-08-07)Currently available data show mixed results as to whether the processing of emotional information has the same characteristics in the native (L1) as in the second language (L2) of bilinguals. We conducted a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiment to shed light on the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying bilinguals’ emotional processing in L1 and L2 during an emotional interference ... -
Nominal coercion at the syntax-semantics interface: an investigation of countability, events and gender
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2024-12-02)In the thesis, I investigate the relationship between syntax and semantics. To what extent does syntax accommodate meaning, and how? To aid my investigation, I consider three different case studies: 1) grinding and portioning (and lack thereof) in Mainland Scandinavian; 2) frequency adjectives in English; 3) pancake sentences in Mainland Scandinavian. These case studies give insight into the roles ... -
Schooling and language usage matter in heritage bilingual processing: Sortal classifiers in Mandarin
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2024-09-23)Mandarin sortal classifiers simultaneously encode semantic and grammatical form class cues. Building on a second language (L2) study of Grüter et al. we used the same visual world eye-tracking experiment, designed to examine the relative use of the two cues, testing Mandarin heritage speakers (HSs) living in an English-speaking environment. Given the importance of understanding individual differences, ... -
Beyond Traditional Metrics: Exploring the Potential of Hybrid Algorithms for Drought Characterization and Prediction in the Tromso Region, Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-09-03)Meteorological drought, defined as a decrease in the average amount of precipitation, is among the most insidious natural disasters. Not knowing when a drought will occur (its onset) makes it difficult to predict and monitor it. Scientists face significant challenges in accurately predicting and monitoring global droughts, despite using various machine learning techniques and drought indices ... -
EU external differentiated integration as a crisis response tool? Evidence from Ukraine
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-09-19)Emerging scholarship on the EU and Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022 has predominantly focused on explaining the unprecedented strength of the EU’s response, especially its new far-reaching sanctions against Russia and the granting of a candidate country status to all three Eastern Neighbours. What is missing from the picture is the role of pre-war EU-Ukraine external ... -
Mind the Gap Between Chemistry and Outdoor Education: Primary and Lower Secondary Preservice Teachers’ Beliefs During an Outdoor-Based Introduction to Chemistry in Science Education
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-10-14)Outdoor education is rarely used to teach chemistry, despite its potential benefits for students. This paper investigates preservice teachers’ (PSTs) beliefs about the domain of chemistry in science education. Sixteen primary and lower secondary PSTs were asked to draw their perception of chemistry in science education and mind maps about outdoor education before being exposed to a novel, student-active ... -
How journalism forgets: on the journalistic representation of colonial biopower in Greenland
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-09-08)This article presents a postcolonial and feminist analysis of 44 newspaper articles published between 1965 and 2022 about “the coil campaign” in Greenland, which fitted Greenlandic Inuit women with the IUD in the 1960s and 1970s, at times without their knowledge or consent. Using a media archive search and conducting a discursive analysis, we explore how journalistic reporting and debates ...
