  Acquisition of relative is subject to the Accessibility Hierarchy developed by , and should not be subject to mother tongue transfer effects, even if these are documented. The tension between transfer and hierarchy is therefore explored on the basis of the acquisition of French relatives by Norwegian learners. These are interesting because Norwegian has a different relative system from French, and Norwegian speakers are generally multilingual, multiplying the sources of transfer. The guided and free productions of beginner and intermediate Norwegian learners make it possible to establish not only the error rate, but also the position of the erroneous relative on the accessibility hierarchy. However, the relatives used incorrectly are not necessarily more accessible in the hierarchy than the relative which should be used. There are nonetheless potential interfering effects from the animacy value of the antecedent.

  Cet article propose d’élargir la distinction, fondamentale pour les polyphonistes ducrotiens, entre sujet parlant et locuteur et d’ainsi distinguer l’activité du sujet parlant (énonciation actuelle) et l’activité du locuteur (énonciation linguistique). Quelles relations existe-t-il entre les deux ? Nous analyserons deux cas. Le premier est un discours dont le locuteur, institutionnel, ne correspond à rien dans le monde et le second est un discours dont c’est cette fois l’énonciation linguistique qui ne prend pas corps dans le monde. L’étude nous conduira à préciser deux notions que nous avions introduites avec Dinah Ribard : celle d’événement illocutoire et celle de parole heureuse.

  In this paper, structural and syntactic properties of left dislocation as topics in French and Norwegian are examined in a systematic manner. We establish a standard division of Hanging Topics and Left Dislocated Topics and argue for the distinction in both languages. There are however fundamental structural differences between French and Norwegian related fundamentally to the V2 feature of Norwegian as a Germanic language. This means that we find language-specific characteristics. We propose a movement approach for Norwegian, whereas French has both base generated Hanging Topics and Left Dislocations. In this manner we can explain typical differences between the two languages and refine insights that have been established in the linguistic literature for French.

  Our main objective in this paper is to show how linguistic properties can be transferred from one system to another. Consequences of transfer are evaluated, both positive and negative, for the acquisition of possessives in French L2 or L3 by Norwegian learners. We take as a starting point a comparative description of the possessive systems in French and Norwegian and examine interlanguage grammars of adult learners of French both in a Norwegian university setting and in an immersion context. On the basis of results from production-comprehension tests we can predict and explain interlanguage errors in the students' L2-grammar (negative transfer) using comparative grammatical constraints (reflexive-irreflexive contrasts, binding constraints, explicit marking of the possessor, orientation towards the possessor or the possessum, etc.). We can also predict cases where the learners make fewer errors or no errors at all (positive transfer). In this way we are able to measure the importance of transfer, both negative and positive, for the acquisition of French as foreign language by Norwegian adult learners.

  L’objectif de ce travail est d’étudier l’acquisition du système possessif en français comme L2. Sur la base d’une description comparative des systèmes possessifs en français et en norvégien, nous nous sommes limité essentiellement aux possessifs de la troisième personne du singulier et du pluriel où les différences entre les deux systèmes sont particulièrement révélateurs. Contrairement au français, le norvégien oppose des formes réfléchies à des formes non réfléchies. De plus, seul le norvégien marque le genre et le sens humain-non humain du possesseur. Sur la base de quatre facteurs de complexité variable entre les deux systèmes – le nombre du possesseur, les formes en s*, l’orientation du possesseur et la position du possesseur – nous avons testé l’acquisition du système possessif par des apprenants universitaires norvégiens. Avec les résultats de notre enquête, il est possible de prévoir les défis que représente pour les étudiants norvégiens l’acquisition du système possessif en français. The main purpose of this paper is to study the acquisition of the possessive system in French as L2. On the basis of a comparative description of the possessive systems in both Norwegian and French, we have turned our attention to the acquisition of 3rd person possessives, both singular and plural. Contrary to French, Norwegian makes the distinction between reflexive and non-reflexive possessives. Also, only Norwegian marks the gender and the human-non-human distinction of possessors. Taking into account four factors of variable complexity between the two systems – the number of the possessor, s*-forms, the orientation of the possessor and the position of the possessive – we have tested the acquisition of the French possessive system by Norwegian university students of French. The results of our study make it possible to predict specific acquisitional challenges which Norwegian university students have in learning French as L2.

  The present paper is concerned with the acquisition of the clitic pronoun en in French as a second language. Owing to its syntactic complexity, en generally poses many problems for Norwegian learners of French. We have conducted a preliminary study among Norwegian university students that shows that these difficulties could be caused by the non-referential properties of en and transfer effects from Norwegian. These issues together seem to delay the acquistion of en, which could also explain why enappers to be less affected by problems of clitic placement, in contrast to other clitics.

  Ce travail a pour objectif de dégager les propriétés lexico-syntaxiques et sémantiques du passif dit périphrastique en français moderne et de corréler le décodage strictement linguistique à une élaboration pragmatique. L¿auteur traite de la passivation comme une opération lexicale qui manipule la structure argumentale du verbe de base. Le système développé prévoit la formation de deux types de passifs reliés par une ligne dérivationnelle directe : le participe passif verbal peut être converti en adjectif. L¿auteur montre comment les opérations d¿ordre lexico-syntaxiques sont systématiquement associées à des contraintes sémantiques et comment le décodage linguistique forme l¿input au travail inférentiel dans la phase pragmatique.

Fremmedspråk i krise. En utredning om europeiske fremmedspråk i høyere utdanning. Institutt for litteratur, områdestudier og europeiske språk, UiO. Full text in Research Archive Show summary

  Denne rapporten tar for seg de europeiske fremmedspråkenes stilling i det norske utdanningssystem og arbeidsliv, sett fra ILOS sin posisjon i systemet. Første delen av rapporten viser en oversikt over studentmassen ved ILOS og tallene for søkere, gjennomføring og frafall ved instituttet. Det er en tydelig tendens til lav gjennomføring på gradsnivå, men høy gjennomføring på emnenivå. En kartlegging av studentgruppen ved ILOS viser en motivert studentgruppe, men med en lav grad av gjennomføring. Spørsmålet stilles om det er en sammenheng mellom forkunnskaper og frafall, men undersøkelsene som er gjort så langt gir ikke tilstrekkelig svar på dette. Studier i fremmedspråk finnes ved en rekke andre universiteter og høyskoler i landet, og ILOS har mange «konkurrenter» som kjemper om de samme studentene. Flere studiesteder har rettet seg særlig inn mot lærerutdanning og videreutdanning av lærere i skolen, og noen studiesteder tilbyr fremmedspråk som en integrert del av en grad. I skolen ser man i 2022 den laveste søkningen til fordypning i fremmedspråk siden 2013. Det er få skoler som tilbyr fordypningsfaget på nivå III og dette kan ha en påvirkning på søkertallene til språkstudier i høyere utdanning. Til tross for at man vet at språkkompetanse tar lang tid å tilegne seg, har alle forsøk med tidligere start for språklæring i norsk skole strandet. Når man ser på fremmedspråkenes posisjon i norske offentlige dokumenter vises en dobbel kommunikasjon, der man på den ene siden løfter fram behovet for kunnskap om fremmedspråk som sentralt for internasjonalt samarbeid og god samhandling i Europa, mens man på den andre siden i dokumenter som omhandler skoleverket ønsker å senke antallet timer brukt på undervisning i fremmedspråk. Det fremstår som at ulike deler av norsk offentlig sektor har ulike oppfatninger av fremmedspråkenes relevans. Utenfor Norge har man sett sviktende søkertall til fremmedspråkstudier både i Danmark, Sverige og Storbritannia. I disse landene har imidlertid myndighetene eller sentrale aktører i utdanningssektoren selv tatt et grep for å forsøke å endre på situasjonen. I arbeidslivsundersøkelser som er gjort ser man at det er stort behov for arbeidstakere med god språkkompetanse i både offentlig og privat sektor. Det ligger et paradoks her i at arbeidsgivere ikke utlyser stillinger der språkkompetanse er et krav, fordi deres erfaringer tilsier at kandidatene da uteblir. Behovet ligger ofte i en dobbelkompetanse og språkkompetansen blir nedprioritert til fordel for annen nødvendig kompetanse. I noen tilfeller rekrutterer man morsmålsbrukere i europeiske språk for å dekke nødvendige behov. Denne mangelen på språkkompetanse i både næringsliv- og byråkrati har et potensiale til å påvirke økonomien og norsk innflytelse internasjonalt i negativ retning. En bedre kartlegging på dette området vil være interessant. Siste del av rapporten inneholder forslag til tiltak for ILOS, for å øke rekrutteringen til og gjennomføringen av språkstudier ved instituttet for de neste 10 årene. Forslagene baserer seg i hovedsak på funnene i denne rapporten, samtidig som de tar hensyn til overordnede utviklingsprosesser som foregår på Det humanistiske fakultetet, UiO, i samme periode.

Spatial Prepositions and Second Language Acquisition: The acquisition of spatial prepositions in French by native speakers of Norwegian. Norges teknisk-naturvitenskapelige universitet. ISSN 9788232610433. Full text in Research Archive Show summary

  The overall objective of the present thesis was to investigate the semantic underpinnings of a selection of spatial prepositions in Norwegian and French, to assess sources of difficulties for the use and comprehension of such prepositions in an L2, and to investigate how knowledge of the meaning of spatial preposition in a second language changes with increasing proficiency. This was studied within the Functional Geometric Framework, FGF (Coventry & Garrod, 2004), which permits for a finegrained study of underlying semantic features relevant for spatial preposition usage; geometric routines, dynamic-kinematic routines and object knowledge. Data consisted of preposition production and acceptability judgments, and were collected from five participant groups: one L1 Norwegian group, one L1 French group, and three different L2 French groups. An important finding in the present thesis is that geometric and functional information underlie comprehension prepositions in both Norwegian and French in similar ways to those theoretically studied by Vandeloise (1986) and to those established in a large body of experimental work for English prepositions. Despite some typological differences in the expression of space in Norwegian and French, native speakers of Norwegian and French make meaning distinctions based on geometry and function in analogous ways. Differences in preposition usage between the two languages stem primarily from language-specific ways of combining object labels and prepositions. Such combinations are sometimes arbitrary, and language conventions may override strong geometric or functional cues for preposition choice. The consequence of the findings for L1 Norwegian and L1 French is that Norwegian learners of L2 French should be able to rely on their intuitions about the semantics of preposition in Norwegian for a native-like comprehension of French prepositions. However, findings in the present thesis are that while L2 users with relatively high L2 proficiency are able to make native-like distinctions based on functional information for prepositions denoting location on the vertical axis, they differ from native speakers in the meaning-distinctions they make based on geometrical information. These findings are directly comparable to findings from a large study of the L2 acquisition of prepositions in English and Spanish (Coventry, Guijarro-Fuentes, & Valdés, 2011). It is therefore likely that the weighting of geometric information for the meaning of spatial prepositions in the L2 takes longer to readjust than the weighting of functional information, at least for prepositions denoting location on the vertical axis. Moreover, findings in the thesis are that both preposition production and judgments about the acceptability of preposition usage are more consistent in the L2 user groups with the highest L2 proficiency. This indicates that the semantic network for spatial prepositions undergoes structuring and tightening as proficiency in the L2 increases, and that lexical knowledge continues to develop in depth also after a preposition has entered into the L2 user’s productive vocabulary.

Les connecteurs de cause: Une étude contrastive sur les connecteurs de cause en français : parce que, puisque et car et leurs équivalents norvégiens : fordi, siden et for. Norges teknisk-naturvitenskapelige universitet. Full text in Research Archive Show summary

  This master’s thesis is a contrastive analysis on French and Norwegian causal connectives. I have compared the French connectives: parce que, puisque and car with the Norwegian equivalents, fordi, siden and for. As methods I used a corpus study and acceptability and judgment studies to find out whether the theories on the French causal connectives are compatible with the corresponding Norwegian connectives. The main theories used in this thesis are Sandrine Zufferey’s hypothesis that all use of the connective puisque contains a certain echo and Eve Sweetser’s theory concerning the significance domains. This thesis concludes that the equivalent causal connectives have many similar features, despite the fact that they originate from two different language families. Zufferey’s theory of puisque being used in presence of some kind of echo source, seems to tally with the Norwegian equivalent siden, at least when this source is explicitly pronounced or when the utterance is ironic. The causal connectives for and siden are, like the French corresponding connectives (car and puisque), principally used in the pragmatic domains, while fordi is essentially used in the semantic domain, and in all domains in oral Norwegian, like the French parce que. Nevertheless, recent studies find that car has developed from being a subjective connective to becoming one that is often used interchangeably with parce que. Parce que on the other hand, used to be an objective connective, but is today used in all domains. While the distinction between parce que and car seems to be a little fuzzy in French speaking countries, the difference between fordi and for seems to be distinct. This phenomenon might be due to the fact that car is nearly absent in oral French, and the reinforcement of the distinction between for and the two other Norwegian causal connectives, caused by the phenomenon of V2 and V3 in Norwegian language.
