What’s in (a) Label? Neural origins and behavioral manifestations of Identity Avoidance in language and cognition
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)The present work defends the idea that grammatical categories are not in- trinsic to mergeable items, taking as a departure point Lenneberg’s (1967, 1975) claim that syntactic objects are definable only contextually. It is ar- gued that there are four different strands of inquiry that are of interest when one seeks to build an evolutionarily plausible theory of labels and operation Label: (i) ... -

Lexicalist vs. exoskeletal approaches to language mixing
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-05)This article presents empirical evidence that disfavors using highly lexicalist minimalist models, such as the one presented in Chomsky (1995), when analyzing language mixing. The data analyzed consist of English – Spanish mixed noun phrases discussed in Moro (2014) as well as English – Norwegian mixed noun phrases and verbs taken from the Corpus of American Norwegian Speech. Whereas the lexicalist ... -
Language Dominance Affects Bilingual Performance and Processing Outcomes in Adulthood
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-07-26)This study examines the role of language dominance (LD) on linguistic competence outcomes in two types of early bilinguals: (i) child L2 learners of Catalan (L1 Spanish-L2 Catalan and, (ii) child Spanish L2 learners (L1 Catalan-L2 Spanish). Most child L2 studies typically focus on the development of the languages during childhood and either focus on L1 development or L2 development. Typically, these ... -
Adjectival inflection as diagnostic for structural position: inside and outside the Icelandic definiteness domain
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-09-25)This article attempts to account for the distribution of Icelandic adjectival inflection in a manner that also captures a problematic case that has not been satisfactorily analyzed in the literature. It is argued that weak inflection is triggered if the adjective is c-commanded by a feature [definite]. Strong inflection occurs precisely if weak inflection is not triggered. This implementation accounts ... -
Ord sett innafra og utafra – en datalingvistisk analyse av nordsamisk
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)Artikkelen presenterer et analyseprogram for nordsamisk løpende tekst, bestående av en morfologisk transduser og en føringsgrammatikk for disambiguering og syntaktisk analyse. Artikkelen drøfter hva programmet kan fortelle oss om nordsamisk grammatikk når det brukes til å analysere et nordsamisk tekstkorpus bestående av til sammen 25 millioner ord. Vi ser på produktiviteten for en del sentrale ... -
Grammatical Meaning and the Second Language Classroom: Introduction
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-22)This special issue assembles empirical work on second language teaching and learning from a generative linguistic perspective. The focus is on properties that constitute grammar–meaning interaction that differ in the native and target language grammars, and that have not been highlighted in the pedagogical literature so far. Common topics address whether and how learners acquire grammatical meanings ... -
The relationship between L2 instruction, exposure, and the L2 acquisition of a syntax-discourse property in L2 Spanish
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-12-17)This article uses the clitic left dislocation (CLLD) construction in L2 Spanish to investigate whether generative SLA has valuable insights to contribute to language teaching. Although CLLD is a structure that is commonly used by native speakers, as reported anecdotally and in at least one corpus, we found that native-Spanish and native-English teachers of Spanish have little metalinguistic knowledge ... -
Investigating variation in island effects: A case study of Norwegian extraction
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-11-27)We present a series of large-scale formal acceptability judgment studies that explored Norwegian island phenomena in order to follow up on previous observations that speakers of Mainland Scandinavian languages like Norwegian accept violations of certain island constraints that are unacceptable in most languages cross-linguistically. We tested the acceptability of wh-extraction from five island types: ... -
Problems and questions in derived adjectives
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)This article overviews the main questions that emerge from cross-linguistic analysis of morphologically complex adjectives. It is discussed that the problems arise from the fact that it is difficult to identify any positive properties of adjectives capable of singling them out with respect to other categories. Thus, what has been classified as a derived adjective frequently is a version of the base ... -
Karl Johan i bronse: Brynjulf Bergsliens rytterstatue på Slottsplassen
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)Denne artikkelen ser nærmere på Brynjulf Bergsliens rytterstatue over Karl Johan (1875) på Slottsplassen i Oslo som kunstverk, som herskersymbol, som offentlig minnesmerke og som feiring av nasjonalstaten. Det moderne Norge etter 1814 hadde lite å vise til når det gjaldt offentlige skulpturmonumenter. Hva var bakgrunnen for at nettopp dette monumentet kom på plass og ikke et som var viet Grunnloven? ... -
The role of underspecification in grammar
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-17)In order to understand the human ability for language, we cannot simply focus on the idealized monolingual speaker or signer (Chomsky, 1965). Rather, as much work in second language acquisition has recognized, it is also necessary to study instances where a person masters two or more languages at different levels of proficiency. Today’s globalized world with increased migration will further ... -

Drawing upon archival theory and critical approaches to the political economy of the Internet, I account for new dynamics and implications afforded by digital archives. Operating at both a user-controlled explicit and a state- and corporate-owned implicit level, the digital archive at once facilitates empowerment ... -
"So geht denn ein Schmerzenstag nach dem andern hin". Krankheitserfahrungen in zwei Frauentagebüchern des 19. Jahrhunderts.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)The article focuses on two unpublished 19th century diaries written by Rebekka Achelis (1770-1833) and Amalie Scharff (1844-1913). It aims at both unveiling their illness experiences and demonstrating the way they recount their experiences. The concepts of the ‘intercalated narration’ (G. Genette) and ‘small stories’ (M. Bamberg / A. Georgakopoulou) serve as entry points to access the ... -

The article presents first the notion of modification seen from the perspectives of semantics and syntax (§1); adjective classes are discussed in §2. §3 discusses the contrasts between prenominal and postnominal adjectives; ... -

“Boundless” Russia and what to make of it
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)Spanning more than 17 million square kilometers, the Russian Federation covers an expanse bigger than any other country on Earth, and houses a population of over 144 million people and 170 ethnic groups. Even before considering Russia’s rich and complex history, these facts alone go a long way in explaining why the concept of Russian space and its meaning represent a major challenge not only for the ...
