A woman in a spotted dress sits in a living room equipped with modern furniture, carpets and cushions, a houseplant on a woven tablecloth, pictures and lamps on the walls, and in the corner a radio cabinet and a rocking horse for the children (Figure 1). She seems confident and relaxed, dressed up and ready to make her home a showcase for the photographer. As this woman is portrayed with two small ...

En la bibliografía se ha señalado repetidamente la asociación del prefijo in-, habitualmente clasificado como ‘negativo’, y la categoría de los adjetivos. Son frecuentes los casos citados en la bibliografía en los que el prefijo facilita que una voz de categoría verbal deba ser interpretada como adjetivo (opinado ~ inopinado), así como algunos casos en que el prefijo convierte un sustantivo ...

I artikkelen beskrives bruken av presens partisipp i mellomnorsk, og denne bruken sammenliknes med norrøn folkelig og lærd stil. Undersøkelsen bygger på 3208 diplom fra tidsrommet 1350–1524 med i alt 2804 forekomster av presens partisipp. Substantiverte presens partisipp beskrives kortfatta, og den sjeldne adverbiale bruken av slike partisipp registreres, men hovedfokus er på den forholdsvis utbredte ...

The present study aims to throw light on the behavior of the Spanish copulas ser and estar in locative sentences, beyond their classical distinction in terms of Individual-Level (IL) versus Stage-Level (SL) predicates. The behavior of the Spanish copulas in locative contexts constitutes an oddity that we aim to probe here: events (concierto ‘concert’), despite their clear spatial and temporal ...

I denne artikkelen analyserer vi framstillinga av transmotivet i bildeboka Ollianna (Dahle & Nyhus, 2020) og drøfter hvilke forestillinger om barn og barndom som ligger til grunn. Særlig undersøker vi om framstillinga av trans- og cispersonene i Ollianna er normativ, og i hvilken grad boka bidrar til å utfordre eller opprettholde eksisterende kjønnsnormer. Analysen undersøker hvordan boka skildrer ...

This chapter reviews a small but growing body of research that examines neuroplasticity stemming from multilingualism, specifically discussing some similarities and differences in brain structure and function stemming from in processing three or more languages, as a departure from bilingualism. The evidence comes from studies using magnetic resonance imaging to examine patterns of grey matter structure ...

This article analyses the portrait of the young Inughuit hunter Qalaherriaq, who was brought involuntarily to England from his home in Perlernerit (Cape York) in today's Kalaallit Nunaat (also known as Greenland) with Captain Erasmus Ommanney’s expedition vessel in 1851. The portrait’s highly unconventional representation, wherein the sitter is shown both en face and in profile, betrays an interest ...

In this paper, we examine the behaviour of so-called passive and middle aorist forms in the Greek reflected in the Genesis of the Septuagint. The Septuagint, and Biblical Greek more generally, displays a considerable aberration with respect to other varieties of Ancient Greek regarding the relative frequency of passive vis-à-vis middle aorist forms. Here, we explore this feature of Septuagint Greek ...

In 2020, this building, housing the Department of Education, opened at UiT The Arctic University of Norway, in the city of Tromsø. Designing, constructing, and decorating a new building for a national ...

Recent scholarship on Samuel Hearne's A Journey to the Northern Ocean (1795) has highlighted how Hearne's journey of exploration functioned to demonstrate the Hudson's Bay Company's strategic geopolitical worth, obscure the violence of its colonialist enterprise, and generate images of an empty North conducive to colonial settlement. Drawing on such scholarship, this essay attempts to nuance statements ...
