Publication abstract:
Prosodic features are some of the most salient features of dialect variation in Norway. It is therefore no wonder that the switch in prosodic systems is what is first recognized by caretakers and scholars when Norwegian children code-switch to something resembling the dialect of the capital (henceforth Urban East Norwegian, UEN) in role play. With focus on the Scandinavian system of lexical accent tones, this paper investigates the spontaneous speech of North Norwegian children engaging in peer social role play. The paper makes the case that children fail to apply the target accent tone in compounds in consistency with UEN in role play, although the production of accent tones otherwise seems to be phonetically target like UEN. Put in other words, they perform in accordance with UEN phonetics, but not UEN morpho-phonology.</p

No full textThe dataset contains: Matrix containing anonymised transcriptions and coding of spontaneous play among 7 children and R scripts used in data manipulation and to fit a binomial mixed effect model.Abstract: This paper investigates the variation in and development of a set of morphological variables in a register known to be used by Norwegian children when engaging in role play. In this register they code-switch to something resembling the standard or Oslo variety for their in-character role utterances. The variation across variables, subjects, and age is demonstrated and discussed, and although most variables are used in the standard variants, their rates vary. A fitted binomial generalised mixed effect analysis on the most frequent variables shows that the rate of standard variants increases significantly as an effect of age

The passing-on problem in damages and restitution under EU law /
No full text'Passing-on' occurs when harm or loss incurred by a business is passed on to burden that business's customers or the next level of the supply chain. In this authoritative book Magnus Strand provides the first comprehensive examination of passing-on in EU law damages and restitution. The analysis covers a broad range of contexts including competition damages and the repayment of charges. The book offers a systematic examination of the key questions facing parties in a passing-on situation: When can downstream claimants bring an action? How can claimants demonstrate sufficient proximity to the original harmful act or unjustified transaction? Will a possibility of passing-on be relevant to the estimation of the award? These questions are assessed for actions against the EU, a Member State and private individuals. Key features of this book include: - specific EU law focus and guidance that will be relevant to lawyers throughout the EU - a multi-faceted analysis of the defence of passing-on and the position of potential claimants downstream in the supply chain - practical suggestions for consistent approaches to passing-on in EU law across existing and future contexts. This timely work will be an invaluable point of reference for practitioners working in damages and restitution law, but also in other fields of commercial law, including competition law and consumer law. Legislators and policy-makers in the EU and beyond will also benefit from the lucid analysis of the various policy choices made in the EU and US
The roles role play plays : The form and function of bilectal codeswitching in North Norwegian pre-school children’s role play
No full textIt is well known that Norwegian children code-switch from their native dialect to something resembling Central or Standard East Norwegian in their in-character role utterances during role play. Despite this, the structural aspects of the phenomenon are not exhaustively studied and understood, and the function of this role-play register as a tool for communication in role play deserves further exploration. This thesis represents a contribution to both of these research topics. Based on video recordings of seven children from Tromsø who participate in spontaneous and free play, I answer questions such as: (i) for which linguistic variables children use the East Norwegian variant and (ii) whether some variables are used more consistently in their East Norwegian variant than others, and, lastly, (iii) what the communicative function of the role play register is in the role play setting and how this may relate to its form. The thesis consists of three papers that investigate the use of East Norwegian in the morphology (free morphemes, i.e. pronouns, and bound morphemes, i.e. inflection) in the role play register (Paper 1), the form and use of Norwegian tonal accents in the role play register (Paper 2), and the creative use and manipulation of voice and its communicative function in role play (Paper 3).
In the study, I find, among other things, that there is variation (i) in the variables when it comes to whether they use the East Norwegian variant and (ii) how consistent children are in the use of the East Norwegian variant. In addition, they appear to become more consistent in the use of the East Norwegian variants with age. I also argue that (iii) the function of the role play register is to mark the role-expressions as performances. I take a view of performance where potentially involves several communicative functions, a view that fits well with the form of the role the utterances which can vary in how many features they are marked with, linguistically or para-linguistically (with the use of East Norwegian, voice pitch and quality, the use of song, etc.).
The Summary article discusses the results based on previous findings and relevant theories in light of three topics or aspects of language: the functional, the structural and the social aspect. I also discuss what the possible sources for the East Norwegian that children use in role play may be, and how the East Norwegian they use can and should inform our discussion of the whether there is a standard spoken variety of Norwegian (“Standard East Norwegian”) and if so, which variety this is
