About
I'm an Associate Professor at the Section for Norwegian, Department of Teacher Education, NTNU.
Background:
I hold a PhD in Linguistics from NTNU (2018). In my dissertation, Language mixing in American Norwegian noun phrases: An exoskeletal analysis of synchronic and diachronic patterns, I investigate the patterns of language mixing, more specifically the usage of English items in Norwegian utterances, in the heritage language American Norwegian. I discuss what these patterns can tell us about the principles of language mixing and our linguistic competence.
Before that, I completed my MA in Scandinavian language at NTNU (2013). In my Master's thesis, Syntaks og ortografi: Nye rammer for språknormering, I investivage how generative grammar can be applied to the work on language planning.
