Global Indigeneity on the Move. The World Drum - Afterlives, Drift Matter, and Object Agency
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)In October 2006 a drum embarked on what is possibly the most extensive journey of any drum at any time. The journey’s ambitions were similarly grand: to serve as a wakeup call to the needs of Mother Earth by linking people, things, and places. What follows is my take on this project in the context of the reclaiming of drums in Sápmi and globalizing discourses on Indigenous religion(s), as well ... -

Emily Brontë's Confrontation with Power Structures in Wuthering Heights: Connections between Victorian Race, Class, and Gender
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2023-06-01)This thesis seeks to analyze how Emily Brontë portrayed the power structures of class, race, and gender in Wuthering Heights as interconnected and cyclical. It is important to see these power structures in connection, as they may cause further oppression together for the already oppressed. I argue that Brontë mocks the Victorian societal structures and their cyclical nature, and I show this through ... -

Extracted Frontiers: A Call from the North
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2020)From microchips to smartphones to electric cars, humanity’s dreams of techno-salvation are built on the crude materiality of extracted metals and minerals. This extraction conveniently avoids large population centres in affluent Western democracies and instead clusters around the world’s social peripheries. This slam poem, first presented as a spoken performance at the 8th Winter School of the ... -
Germanic diminutives: a case study of a gap in Norwegian
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-03)It is well known that German and Dutch have productive diminutive morphology. What is much less discussed is the fact that several other Germanic languages do not have such productive morphology, notably the Scandinavian languages. Instead, these languages form compounds to express a diminutive meaning. This paper addresses the puzzle of why the Scandinavian languages do not have productive ... -
Rhetorical question comprehension by Italian–German bilingual children
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-12)This study investigates for the first time the comprehension of rhetorical questions (RhQs) in bilingual children. RhQs are non-canonical questions, as they are not used to request information, but to express the speaker’s belief that the answer is already obvious. This special pragmatic meaning often arises by means of specific prosodic and lexical-syntactic cues. Being childhood learners, ... -

Adjective position in the code-switched speech of Spanish and Papiamento heritage speakers in the Netherlands: Individual differences and methodological considerations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-02)Introduction: This study examines adjective-noun order in code-switched constructions by heritage speakers of Spanish and Papiamento in the Netherlands.

Most accounts of word order patterns in code-switching focus ... -
Rëâdīńg wõrdš wîth ōrńåmêńtš: is there a cost?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-29)Introduction: Recent research has reported that adding non-existent diacritical marks to a word produces a minimal reading cost compared to the intact word. Here we examined whether this minimal reading cost is due to: (1) the resilience of letter detectors to the perceptual noise (i.e., the cost should be small and comparable for words and nonwords) or (2) top-down lexical processes that normalize ... -
