    • Bilectal Exposure Modulates Neural Signatures to Conflicting Grammatical Properties: Norway as a Natural Laboratory 

      Kubota, Maki; Gonzalez Alonso, Jorge; Jensen, Isabel Nadine; Luque, Alicia; Pereira Soares, Sergio Miguel; Prystauka, Yanina; Vangsnes, Øystein Alexander; Anderssen, Merete Brendeford; Sandstedt, Jade Jørgen Michael; Rothman, Jason (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-22)
      The current study investigated gender (control) and number (target) agreement processing in Northern and non-Northern Norwegians living in Northern Norway. Participants varied in exposure to Northern Norwegian (NN) dialect(s), where number marking differs from most other Norwegian dialects. In a comprehension task involving reading NN dialect writing, P600 effects for number agreement were significantly ...

    • The Bottleneck Hypothesis in L2 acquisition: L1 Norwegian learners’ knowledge of syntax and morphology in L2 English 

      Jensen, Isabel Nadine; Slabakova, Roumyana; Westergaard, Marit; Lundquist, Bjørn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-28)
      The Bottleneck Hypothesis (Slabakova, 2008, 2013) proposes that acquiring properties of the functional morphology is the most challenging part of learning a second language. In the experiment presented here, the predictions of this hypothesis are tested in the second language (L2) English of Norwegian native speakers. Two constructions are investigated that do not match in English and Norwegian: One ...

    • The Bottleneck Hypothesis in L2 acquisition: Norwegian L1 speakers’ knowledge of syntax and morphology in English L2 

      Jensen, Isabel Nadine (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-05-14)
      In this master’s thesis, we test the Bottleneck Hypothesis (Slabakova 2006; 2008; 2013) in L2 acquisition of English by Norwegian speakers. According to this hypothesis, functional morphology is the bottleneck of L2 acquisition, i.e. the most challenging part for L2 learners to acquire. We test two constructions that do not match in English and Norwegian: subject-verb agreement and verb movement. ...

    • Crosslinguistic influence in L3 acquisition across linguistic modules 

      Jensen, Isabel Nadine; Mitrofanova, Natalia; Anderssen, Merete; Rodina, Yulia; Slabakova, Roumyana; Westergaard, Marit (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-08)
      In this study, we investigated crosslinguistic influence (CLI) at developmental stages of third language (L3) acquisition of English by Russian–Norwegian children (N = 31). We tested seven linguistic properties within three linguistic modules (morphology, syntax and syntax-semantics). We compared the L3 learners to Norwegian (N = 90) and Russian (N = 74) second language (L2) learners of English. We ...

    • Crosslinguistic influence in third language acquisition 

      Jensen, Isabel Nadine (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2022-06-20)
      <p>In this dissertation, crosslinguistic influence in third language (L3) acquisition is investigated in three articles that explore how linguistic variables affect the influence of pre-existing grammars. The goal is to contribute to novel insights about the cognitive process of language acquisition. <p>We collected data in offline acceptability judgements tasks. In articles 1 and 2, we tested ...

    • Flaskehalshypotesen: Syntaks og morfologiblant norske andrespråksinnlærere avengelsk 

      Jensen, Isabel Nadine; Westergaard, Marit (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-02)
      Flaskehalshypotesen (‘Bottleneck Hypothesis’, Slabakova 2008, 2013) beskriver og forklarer hva som er vanskelig og hva som er enkelt i andrespråkstilegnelse. Formålet med dette er å forstå prosessen knyttet til å lære seg et nytt språk etter førstespråket. Hypotesen argumenterer for at det er morfologiske konstruksjoner som er mest utfordrende å tilegne seg. Til sammenligning skal konstruksjoner som ...

    • Syntax Matters: Exploring the Effect of Linguistic Similarity in Third Language Acquisition 

      Jensen, Isabel Nadine; Westergaard, Marit (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-06)
      Over the last two decades, the question of to which linguistic cues learners pay attention when they decode a new language has been subject to controversy in the field of third language (L3) acquisition. In this article, we present an artificial language learning experiment that investigated how lexical and syntactic similarities between an artificial L3 and preexisting grammars impact crosslinguistic ...
