Word Neighbor Priming in Bilingual Sentence Reading: Evidence from Eye Movements
2018
Master's thesis English EN501 - University of Agder 2018 This study investigates English sentence reading processes in Norwegian-English bilinguals. It aims to explore the effects of word form overlap and its connection to second-language (L2) English proficiency. We recorded eye movements of Norwegian-English bilinguals while they read single sentences on screen. The experiment was a replication of Frisson, Koole, Hughes, Olson and Wheeldon, (2014), who investigated the effects of form similarity between words (orthographic and phonological, both separate and combined) on sentence reading in English monolinguals. They also investigated the effects of distance between prime and target words…

Fra «dørgende kjedelig» til «det forlokkende land»: Seks læreres oppfatninger av grammatikk i norskfaget i videregående opplæring
2023
I denne artikkelen spør vi åssen seks norsklærere ser på si egen grammatikkundervisning i lys av kjerneelementet språket som system og mulighet i LK20. Vi undersøker åssen lærerne legitimerer grammatikkundervisning og hva slags syn de har på grammatikk i skolen. Lærernes syn på grammatikk er særlig aktuelt å kartlegge på dette tidspunktet ettersom LK20 er under innføring i skolen. Datamaterialet består av seks semistrukturerte kvalitative forskningsintervjuer. Vi unngikk bevisst å bruke begrepet «grammatikk» i forberedelsene til intervjua, for ikke å legge føringer på lærernes oppfatninger av innholdet i kjerneelementet. I sjølve kodinga ble empirien mer eksplisitt knytta til grammatikk. I …
Bokmål, nynorsk eller språklig nøytral? En studie av målvedtak og målformpraksis i kommunene
2021
Artikkelen presenterer en empirisk studie av språklig praksis knytta til målform på 277 kommuners nettsider. Materialet er todelt. Del 1, som blei samla inn høsten 2019, omfatter 271 kommuner som enten har målvedtak om nynorsk eller er språklig nøytrale. Del 2 blei samla inn våren 2020 og omfatter seks nye, sammenslåtte kommuner som består av tidligere kommuner med ulike målvedtak, der minst én hadde vedtak om nynorsk. Studien søker svar på denne problemstillinga: I hvilken grad er det samsvar mellom kommunenes målvedtak og kommunenes målformpraksis på nettsidene? I artikkelen dokumenteres manglende samsvar mellom målvedtak og målformpraksis i mange kommuner og konsekvenser av kommunesammen…
