Sámi landscapes are pluralistic and contain traces of a variety of activities occurring in the past and present. This includes remains of medieval houses and hunting installations that are different from the ones used in later Sámi contexts. The Sámi have created their own interpretations of these enigmatic features in the landscape, relating, for instance, so-called ‘Stállo’ house grounds, reindeer ...

The longhouse has been a turning point for research on prehistoric farming societies in Scandinavia for several decades. Yet, no comprehensive study has been made of this house type and its context, variations and social implications in the Far North. In this chapter, we present the currently available longhouse material within the three northernmost counties of Norway. The 50 longhouses that have ...

In this article, we argue that the term dative can correspond to objects of a very different linguistic nature, even in typologically close languages. Specifically, in syntactic terms datives can be different from accusatives or identical to them at some point in the derivation; in the latter case, clashes between 3rd person clitics emerge. Our approach, then, argues that clitic incompatibilities ...

The goal here is twofold: the first one is to point out the existence of at least two classes of Object Experiencer psychological verbs (henceforth, OEPV) in Spanish with respect to their passive behavior, casting doubt on Landau (2010), who proposes that passivization of OEPVs correlates with the availability of pseudo-passives in a language. The second one is to argue that passives of OEPVs match ...

Based on both historical and present-day examples, this chapter discusses the connection between language acquisition and language change, focusing on generative approaches such as the cue-based theory of acquisition and change and grammar competition models.

I dette kapitlet vil det bli diskutert hva læringspotensial er. Gjennom en litteraturstudie vil ulike sider ved læring og potensial for læring bli perspektivert. Det vil bli gjort en grenseoppgang mellom sentrale begreper knyttet til læringspotensial. Begrepet vil også bli diskutert med utgangspunkt i tilgrensende begreper som inkludering og en skole for alle.

Teknologi har for alvor gjort sitt inntog i norsk skole. Økt tilgjengelighet med hensyn til digitale løsninger gjør at stadig flere elever har digitale verktøy som en del av sitt læringsmateriell. Det er i flere prosjekter undersøkt bruken av teknologiske verktøy i skolen (se for eksempel Murati & Ceka, 2017; Pandya & Ávila, 2017). Studier viser at en digital skole endrer både elevrollen, lærerrollen ...
