    • In Spite of All (Malgré tout) 

      Gustafsson, Henrik Isak Immanuel (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-01)
      The locution <i>malgré tout</i>, ‘in spite of all’ or ‘despite everything’, is first and foremost associated with the vexed debate stirred by the exhibition <i>Mémoire des camps</i>, which was organized in Paris in 2001, and the violent reactions provoked by Didi-Huberman’s catalogue essay, “<i>l’images malgré tout</i>”, subsequently expanded into the eponymously titled book in response to the fierce ...
    • Foreword 

      Gustafsson, Henrik Isak Immanuel (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022-11)
      A confounding antinomy has characterized the ill-fated twenty-first century. On the one hand, a frenzy of “historical” and “unprecedented” moments, as the world is incessantly afflicted by momentous change and cataclysmic and unique events, we are told. “How historical is this?” the news anchor asks the reporter in the field or the expert in the studio, and infallibly, it’s always off the charts. ...
    • Why Libraries Matter in the New Diplomacy Era? 

      Mariano, Randolf (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-31)
      Libraries, museums, and cultural centers have long been widely advocated for diplomacy as an enabler for knowledge sharing, cultural exchange, and scientific cooperation, advancing people-to-people ties and mutual understanding in the international system (Mariano and Vårheim, 2021). In spite of the contribution of libraries as a public sphere institution (Vårheim, Skare, and Lenstra, 2019), a ...
    • Assessing inhibitory control in the real world Is virtually possible: A virtual reality demonstration 

      Rocabado, Francisco; Dunabeitia Landaburu, Jon Andoni (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-12)
      Executive functions are the key ingredient for behaviour regulation. Among them, inhibitory control is one of the main exponents of executive functions, and in the last decades, it has received a good amount of attention thanks to the development of chronometric tasks associated with paradigms that allow exploring human behaviour when the inhibitory component is needed. Among the different paradigms ...
    • Environment Context Variability and Incidental Word Learning: A Virtual Reality Study 

      Rocabado, Francisco; González Alonso, Jorge; Dunabeitia Landaburu, Jon Andoni (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-08)
      Previous research has shown that changes in the scenarios in which something is learned and recalled, respectively, may result in a subpar performance in memory recollection. The current study aimed to evaluate how changes in the visuo-perceptual environmental learning context impact incidental vocabulary learning. To this end, a highly immersive virtual reality setting was created, and participants ...
    • Los prefijos adjectivales: un grupo heterogéneo 

      Fábregas, Antonio (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-31)
      Este artículo discute una de las clases reconocidas de prefijos en español, los prefijos adjetivales. Esta clase muestra propiedades que no encajan con el resto de los prefijos, tanto en su fonología como en su semántica. Se argumenta que la clase es heterogénea y deben distinguirse en ella al menos cuatro subtipos de elementos. Sus propiedades excepcionales, junto a su ordenamiento lineal y su ...

    • Pangur Bán, Translation, Postmodernism, Paul Muldoon 

      Moi, Ruben (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-22)
      «Pangur Bán» is probably the best know poem in Celtic studies, and a poem that tends to become increasingly more popular to audiences outside of Ireland. However, the anonymous, medieval poem has been cherished throughout history for a wide range of poetic, philosophical, intellectual and educational reasons. To inquire into the longevity and popularity of a marginal gloss on his cat by an Irish ...
    • A network of allostructions: quantified subject constructions in Russian 

      Nesset, Tore; Janda, Laura Alexis (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-22)
      This article contributes to Construction Grammar, historical linguistics, and Russian linguistics through an in-depth corpus study of predicate agreement in constructions with quantified subjects. Statistical analysis of approximately 39,000 corpus examples indicates that these constructions constitute a network of con- structions (“allostructions”) with various preferences for singular or plural ...
    • Temporal Information and Event Bounding Across Languages: Evidence from Visual World EyeTracking 

      Minor, Sergey; Mitrofanova, Natalia; Guajardo, Gustavo; Vos, Myrte Titia; Ramchand, Gillian C (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06)
      We explore the typological question of what the interpretation of grammatical perfectivity is, and how it connects to the related aktionsartal notion of boundedness/telicity on the one hand, and the tense category Past on the other. We report on a comparative experimental paradigm of past tense accomplishment sentences in Russian, Spanish and English respectively, in which we use an online ...
    • Trolli se ei ole poika leikki jos mie tartuttelen: frekventatiivijohdoksen kehittyminen adversatiiviseksi passiiviksi kveenissä pohjoissaamen kielikontaktin seurauksena The development of frequentative verb derivatives into adversative passive in Kven as a result of language contact with Northern Sámi 

      Niiranen, Leena Mirjam (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-16)
      Derivatives ending in ttele are used with a passive meaning in the Kven dialects of Porsanger and Nordreisa. This use is a result of language contact with Sami. As in the Sami model of adversative passive, these Kven passive derivatives express an unfavorable event. They are used with a subject argument which has a semantic role as a patient or experiencer and an agent expressed in the allative case. ...
    • Framleis postsovjetisk? 

      Nesset, Tore (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2022-12)
      Er Ukraina framleis postsovjetisk? Om ein vil halde fram med å bruke ordet «postosvjetisk» om Ukraina, lyt ein vere klar over at denne merkelappen dekkjer ein stadig mindre del av den ukrainske røynda.
    • Screen Violence from Settler Colonialism to Cognitive Capitalism: Westworld and the Player Piano 

      Gustafsson, Henrik Isak Immanuel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2022-09-01)
      While the HBO show Westworld (2016–present, created by Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan) has gained much critical attention for its byzantine plotting and philosophical conundrums, the present discussion focuses instead on the basic premise on which the titular park operates, namely that the algorithms that govern human behavior can be disclosed by studying how human beings behave toward image beings. ...
    • Inclusive gender: A grammatical view 

      Fabregas, Antonio (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-01)
      En los últimos años se ha visto emerger un nuevo marcador de género en español al que se identifica como género inclusivo, lo cual da lugar a sustantivos con tres formas de género –niño, niña, niñe–. El objetivo de este trabajo es alejar esta cuestión de consideraciones políticas o sociales y examinar los rasgos gramaticales internos que tiene esta nueva forma, como una vía para encuadrar cualquier ...
    • The Finnmark Library A Scholarly Library in “Ultima Thule” 

      Grenersen, Geir (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-22)
      Finmarksbibliotheket (“The Finnmark Library”) was established in the municipality of Vadsø in 1892, by central representatives of the town. It was intended to be a systematic collection “of books and manuscripts related to the history, ethnography, language, natural history, and statistics of Finnmark County,” especially “to collect everything written about the Sámi.” Its stock increased steadily, ...
    • Argument placement in Swedish 

      Larsson, Ida; Lundquist, Björn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-17)
      This paper gives an overview of the Swedish data on argument placement in the Nordic Word Order Database (NWD; Lundquist et al. 2019). The data were collected from 54 native speakers in three different locations, and the experimental task elicited argument placement (subject shift, object shift, long object shift, particle shift). The results confirm that there is considerable inter- and intra-speaker ...
    • Argument placement in Norwegian 

      Lundquist, Björn; Tengesdal, Eirik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-17)
      This paper gives an overview of the results from three data collection sessions that took place in Norway in 2018, which specifically targeted the placement of subjects, objects and particles in main clauses. The results reveal a fairly high amount of variation in the relative linear order of phrasal subjects and negation, and phrasal objects and verb particles, while the placement of pronouns show ...
    • El caso oblicuo de las preposiciones: raíces, constituyentes y concordancia 

      Fábregas, Antonio (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Aquest treball proposa una anàlisi configuracional al fet que, per a molts parlants, preposicions com según o bajo no puguin assignar cas oblic al pronom i al fet que en espanyol actual l'assignació de cas oblic sigui impossible amb dos pronoms coordinats (*a ti i mí). S'argumenta que, en les varietats més restrictives, el pronom oblic materialitza un constituent sintàctic que conté una capa relacional ...
    • En to ganger servert oksesteik, et to ganger servert drama. Doktor Tomas Stockmann – en mannlig versjon av Nora Helmer 

      Wærp, Lisbeth Pettersen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-16)
      I et brev til sin forlegger, Frederik Hegel, datert Roma 21. juni 1882, kommenterer Ibsen En folkefiendes sjanger: «det har meget af lystspillets karakter ved sig, men også en al-vorlig grundtanke». I tråd med Ibsens uttalelse blir dette dramaet ofte lest som en politisk komedie med et alvorlig tema, samtidig som man mer eller mindre eksplisitt gir uttrykk for at det er litt uklart hva denne alvorlige ...
    • Italienisch als Herkunftssprache im Fremdsprachen-unterricht: Die Rolle der Dialektkompetenz 

      Arona, Sebastiano; Kupisch, Tanja (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-01)
      Unser Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit italienischen Herkunftssprecher/innen im Fremdsprachenunterricht Italienisch in Baden-Württemberg, wobei wir drei Perspektiven einnehmen: (i) die Mikro-Perspektive der Herkunftssprecher/innen, die in der Regel flüssig Italienisch sprechen, aber oft bidialektal mit einer Varietät des Italienischen sind, (ii) die Meso-Perspektive der Lehrenden, die diese angemessen ...
