The Tale of Two Lexicons: Decomposing Complexity across a Distributed Lexicon
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-10)The notion of complexity is evasive and often left to intuition, yet it is often invoked when studying heritage language grammars. In this article, we propose a first pass at decomposing the notion of complexity into smaller components in a formal grammatical model. In particular, we argue that a distributed model of the lexicon (i.e., one that assumes that principles that generate both words and ... -
Fortellinger om håp og håpløshet – Bærekraftsundervisning i antropocen

Tilnærmingen hviler på en antagelse om at et ... -
Transitivity on a continuum: The transitivity index as a predictor of Spanish causatives
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-27)This paper contributes to the study of transitivity as a general property of the clause. Unlike most previous work on the subject, however, transitivity in the present article is used to study a lexical alternation, namely the two causative predicates dejar ‘let’ and hacer ‘make’ in Spanish. To do this, I use the transitivity index (TI), a weighted continuous measure of transitivity based on Hopper ... -

How many women judges are enough on international courts?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-21)The African Court of Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACtHPR) made history on August 27, 2018. The majority of its judges were female—six of 11, and the first among international courts and tribunals (ICs) to secure sex parity—that is, numerical equality.1 This achievement is even more remarkable given that only 23% of the judges and arbitrators of the ICs are women.2 The milestone also prompts us ... -

How Wide the Divide? – Theorizing ‘Constructions’ in Generative and Usage-Based Frameworks
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-26)What is the nature and function of mental representations in cognitive science, and in human language in particular? How do they come into existence and interact, and how is the information attributed to them stored in and retrieved from the human mind? Some theories treat constructions as primitive entities used for structure-building, central in both production and comprehension, while other ... -
