Tina Louise Ringstad
About
I am an Associate Professor at the Section for Norwegian, Department of Teacher Education, NTNU.
I hold a PhD in Linguistics from NTNU (2021), with the dissertation Acquiring variation. A study of children's and adults' embedded clause word orders in Norwegian – distribution, development and effects. In the dissertation I study the word order variation seen in Norwegian embedded clauses involving negation (relative to verb and subject), with the aim of mapping this variation in adult language and understanding how it is acquired by children. The latter is a contribution to the question of what type of information children use to build their language: What is retrieved from the innate grammar and what is retrieved from their input? (Read more about this here and here.)
Furthermore I hold an MA degree from NTNU, titled Byggeklossar i barnespråk. Om tre norske born si tileigning av funksjonelle kategoriar (Building bricks in child language. On three Norwegian children's acquisition of functional categories). In this work I collected a child language corpus from three Norwegian children from the region Trøndelag (now a part of CHILDES). The children were aged around 2 years and I investigated the development of grammatical functional categories in their language over a period of six months.
My bachelor degree in Norwegian/Scandinavian is from Høgskolen i Telemark (Telemark University College) and Háskóli Íslands (University of Iceland).
