Augustins underfulle alminnelighet
(Preprint; Manuskript, 2020)I et tilbakeblikk skriver Geir Hellemo nylig følgende om Augustins Bekjennelser: «Jeg hadde lest den tidligere. Da så jeg bare Augustins strenge blikk. Jeg tror det var fordi jeg leste ham med pietistisk fargede øyne» (Gud i en gudløs verden). Noen år tidligere har åpenbart en annen forståelse av Augustin gjort seg gjeldende: «Jeg tar ikke munnen for full når jeg sier at Augustin har fornyet mitt ... -
Davvisámi earutkeahtes oamasteapmi [Inalienability in North Saami]
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)Inalienability in North Saami On the basis of corpus data (9.5M words 1997–2010) we claim that North Saami is developing a grammatical distinction between alienable and inalienable possession. In previous work we documented a language change in North Saami in which the possessive suffix as in girjji-id-easkka [book-acc.pl-3pl] ‘their books’ is being replaced by an analytic construction with the ... -

Mellom borealisme og orientalisme. Fortellinger og forestillinger om 'de andre' i nordlysturismen
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017)The article takes as its point of departure a media narrative, relating that Northern Lights tourists from the East are not only visiting the northern areas to experience the celestial phenomenon, as their actual hope is to conceive under the Lights. According to alleged old beliefs in the East, this is supposed to give handsomer, healthier, and more intelligent children. The location of these beliefs ... -

Russian dialectology in educating Slavists in Norway: experience and results
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2020)The fact that a legendary Norwegian explorer Fridtjоf Nansen, who was a talented and highly educated man, knew very well the history and culture of the peoples of Northern Russia, is mentioned in almost every work dedicated to his planned expedition to the Kola Peninsula, which was never performed. However, there are no research works that mention the fact that his deep knowledge, which inspired him ... -

The internal structure of perfective adjectives: states and blocking
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-05)The goal of this article is to discuss the nature of so-called perfective adjectives in Spanish (desnudo ‘naked,’ suelto ‘loose’). We do so through a discussion of the problem that participles are blocked by perfective adjectives in some contexts (Dejó la habitación {limpia / ∗limpiada} ‘He left the room {clean / ∗cleaned}). We will argue that perfective adjectives contain in their internal structure ... -
Partiklar i sørsamisk
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-30)The article presents the most central particles in Southern Sami, and argues that they constitute a separate part of speech different from adverbs. Most particles usually occur in the second position of the sentence, but several particles may also occur in second position in complex verb phrases, i.e. in third position in the sentence. A group of words have in previous research been treated as ... -

Er maskinoversetting fra nordsamisk nyttig for sørsamisk?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-30)The article assesses the strengths and weaknesses of a rule-based translation program from North Saami to South Saami. As a tool for translators, the system can contribute to more text being produced in South Saami, both by using North Saami as an intermediary in the translation of texts from Norwegian and Swedish, and by translating texts that are originally written in North Saami. The system may ... -
Does time matter - A multi-level assessment of delayed energy transitions and hydrogen pathways in Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-14)The Russian invasion of Ukraine has undeniably disrupted the EU's energy system and created a window of opportunity for an acceleration of the low-carbon energy transition in Europe. As the trading bloc's biggest gas supplier, Norway faces the imminent threat of fast-depleting gas reserves and declining value for its exports. Norway is trying to beat the clock by aggressively exploring more ... -
The long and the short of it: Russian predicate adjectives with zero copula
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-01)The present article presents an empirical investigation of the choice between so-called long (e.g., prostoj ‘simple’) and short (e.g., prost ‘simple’) forms of predicate adjectives in Rus- sian, based on data from the syntactic subcorpus of the Russian National Corpus. The data under scrutiny suggest that short forms represent the dominant option for predicate adjec- tives. It is proposed that ... -

Utilitarianism
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2019)Let us start our introduction to utilitarianism with an example that shows how utilitarians answer the following question, “Can the ends justify the means?” Imagine that Peter is an unemployed poor man in New York.

"Wandering in Fact and Fiction: Wordsworth´s Wanderer and Christopher Thomson"
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2018)Discussing Wordsworth’s poem “Goody Blake and Harry Gill,” Geoffrey Tillotson writes that “Goody herself . . . could not have given a more telling account of her way of life” (7). I wonder. Goody Blake, like other cottagers, had ample time to think, spinning days away in a house by herself. She may have participated more fully in the life of her community than Wordsworth did and therefore been able ...
