Formal Linguistic Approaches to Adult Second Language (L2) Acquisition and Processing
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2019-06-25)The relative conformity with which (typically developing) children attain adult grammatical competence—ultimate attainment—and the similarity in developmental paths along which they progress is remarkable (e.g., Ambridge & Lieven, 2011; Clark, 2003; Guasti, 2002; Synder, 2007). This achievement is, however, so ubiquitous and mundane that we seldom marvel at it. Of course, monolingual adult grammars ... -
PhD revisited: Content in Nordic Pupil Narratives in Instructed EFL: A Norwegian Perspective
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2019-06-18)In this chapter, the results of a doctoral study (Larsen, 2009) of thematic content in Nordic pupil narratives in EFL2 are presented. A literary analysis of pupil texts focussing on intertextual references was applied. The findings suggest that the pupils’ narratives formed a discourse in which these narratives explored the power aspects of the parent–child relationship, rebelled against teachers, ... -
"Hidden Inwardness" and "Subjectivity is Truth": Kant and Kierkegaard on Moral Psychology and Religious Pragmatism
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2019)This chapter reconstructs the concept of hidden inwardness, arguing that this term refers to moral characters (and religious characters) that are expressed with deeds and words, rather than referring to a private inner world. By relying on the distinction between morality and legality, the chapter argues that “hidden inwardness” is not compatible with all kinds of behavior, and that it is better ... -

Living with socialism: Toward an archaeology of a post-soviet industrial town
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2020-11-08)While the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, it left a heavy legacy in the form of industrial towns, residential buildings, infrastructure networks, and ecological damage that extends the Soviet Union’s effective history into the present day. This paper explores this legacy through the perspective of contemporary archaeology to better understand how material culture from the Soviet period is being ... -

Incidental changes in orthographic processing in the native language as a function of learning a new language late in life
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-25)Acquiring a second alphabetic language also entails learning a new set of orthographic rules and specific patterns of grapheme combinations (namely, the orthotactics). The present longitudinal study aims to investigate whether orthotactic sensitivity changes over the course of a second language learning programme. To this end, a group of Spanish monolingual old adults completed a Basque language ... -
Old-age mortality and social class in northern Norway in the first half of the twentieth century
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-13)The number of studies on social inequality in mortality in Norway before 1960 is limited and they often focus on early life outcomes. Little is known about socioeconomic differences in old-age mortality before the emergence of the welfare state. Linked census and church records from the Historical Population Register of Norway were used to study a sample of 10,457 men and women born 1841–1870 ... -
Impediments to mathematical creativity: Fixation and flexibility in proof validation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-15)Mathematical techniques in proof writing can be narrowed down to specific proof styles. Simply put, proofs can be direct or indirect- the latter using the Law of the Excluded Middle from logic as well as the axiom of Choice, to prove existence of mathematical objects. However, the thinking skills involved in writing indirect proofs are prone to errors, especially from novice proof writers such as ... -
Cómo ser un adverbio siendo un sustantivo sin ser una preposición
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-18)El objetivo de este trabajo es explorar por qué el español y otras lenguas admiten complementos de tiempo construidos como sintagmas nominales sin preposición. Propondremos que el motivo es que la estructura tempoaspectual de la cláusula se define en la espina dorsal del árbol sintáctico, lo cual hace innecesario emplear un elemento relacional para construir ese significado: el sintagma es un argumento ... -
What is the incoherence objection to legal entrapment?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-27)Some legal theorists say that legal entrapment to commit a crime is incoherent. So far, there is no satisfactorily precise statement of this objection in the literature: it is obscure even as to the type of incoherence that is purportedly involved. (Perhaps consequently, substantial assessment of the objection is also absent.) We aim to provide a new statement of the objection that is more precise ... -

Frankenstein at 200: Introduction
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018)Derek Attridge says of James Joyce that one can never be a first-time reader of that authors work.1 The same can be said of Mary Shelley, particularly with regard to her first novel, Frankenstein: Or The Modern Prometheus. There cannot be many readers who come to it without prior ideas of what to expect. Images of the creature pervade popular culture, and most English readers know Victors tale of ...
