While most investigations of bilingualism document participants’ language background, there is an absence of consensus on how to quantify bilingualism. The high number of different language background questionnaires used by researchers and practitioners jeopardises data comparability and cross-pollination between research and practice. Using the Delphi consensus survey method, we asked 132 ...

Recent experiments have confirmed earlier informal evidence that finite adjuncts are not islands categorically. Specifically, it has been shown that adjuncts are not necessarily islands for all dependency types (Sprouse et al. 2016), and that the island status of an adjunct depends on the type of the adjunct clause in question (Kush et al. 2019; Müller 2019; Bondevik et al. 2021; Nyvad et al. ...

This issue focuses on Russophone cinema in Israel, i.e., films made by and about ex-Soviet Israelis in Israel and elsewhere. Our work on this publication began well before Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022.

Dette er en empirisk studie av adjektivkongruens i norsk. We undersøker setninger med et kollektivt substantiv som subjekt og et predikativt adjektiv i singular eller plural. Med utgangspunkt i data fra to elektroniske korpora og en informantundersøkelse viser vi at pluralkongruens er utbredt i setninger av den typen vi analyserer.

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 ...

Machine learning is the dominating paradigm in natural language processing nowadays. It requires vast amounts of manually annotated or synthetically generated text data. In the GiellaLT infrastructure, on the other hand, we have worked with rule-based methods, where the linguistis have full control over the development the tools. In this article we uncover the myth of machine learning being cheaper ...

This article explores authenticity, immersion, and heritage in two historical video games, Svoboda 1945: Liberation and Train to Sachsenhausen. The two games use different strategies when inviting understanding, emotional attachment, and immersive experiences of past events. We draw upon a critical, self-reflective analysis of the design process and a comparison of both games. Our aim is to expand ...

La existencia de nombres de evento simple derivados a partir de sustantivos mediante -ada (niñada, tontada, puñalada) presenta distintos problemas para nuestra comprensión de las relaciones entre verbos y sustantivos o, en general, la manera en que una lengua codifica una acción en un dominio nominal. Este trabajo propone que -ada refleja una estructura en la que faltan núcleos sintácticos que ...
