Research interests:
My research primarily focuses on how different aspects of bilingual language experience variably impact brain structure, function, and several cognitive processes. I study how these neural and cognitive adaptations dynamically shift over time and with changes to patterns of language use.
In short, I’m interested in first, second, third and multilingual acquisition, syntactic variation in adult and child language, language attrition/heritage languages, and especially how the languages of multilinguals affect one another.
My background is mainly within syntactic theory and monolingual first language acquisition. For my PhD, I investigated the structure of the Norwegian noun phrase, as well as how it is acquired. I collected a longitudinal corpus with three monolingual children between the ages of 1;9-3. In the study I accounted for the semantics, syntactic structure and the prosodic characteristics of early uses of articles and determiners. My main focus was on the phenomenon known as double definiteness. Following on from this, I worked a lot on word order variation, specifically on what determines the choice of word order when such variation is permitted, and how this is acquired. This included work on subject and object shift, double objects, and possessives, which in Norwegian may be pre- or postnominal. Many of these studies were based on elicited production data.
In recent years, I have expanded my work on the acquisition of noun phrases and word order variation to bilingual acquisition and heritage languages, in addition to continuing my work on monolingual children and adults. A lot of my work on multilinguals has focused on how structural similarity may result in crosslinguistic influence, and how it may be a factor not only in language acquisition, but also in heritage languages and language attrition. For example, I have studied subject shift and object shift in Norwegian heritage speakers in the US and L2 learners of Norwegian.
In the future, I want to continue working on multilinguals, including second and third language acquisition and heritage language more generally. So far my studies of heritage languages has been based on the elderly speakers in the Corpus of American Nordic Speakers (CANS) and on various bilingual child language corpora. Thus, so far I have worked with very young and very old heritage speakers. In the future my ambition is to study heritage speakers of varying ages. I am also planning a project on the effect of the word order similarities between English and Norwegian in different populations, including heritage speakers of different ages.

Leena Maria Heikkola (UiT) & Jonas Yassin Iversen (University of Inland Norway) Sustaining National Minorities in Education: A Project Presentation
Abstract: The NAMED project (Sustaining National Minorities in Education: Kven/Norwegian Finnish and Forest Finnish Experiences and Needs in Mainstream Schools) aims to assess the current state of teaching about and for the Kven/Norwegian Finnish and Forest Finnish national minorities in mainstream education in Norway. The project’s point of departure is the Norwegian Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s documentation of the devastating consequences of harsh assimilatory policies towards the national minorities Kvens/Norwegian Finns and Forest Finns. According to the Commission, the national minorities continue to experience discrimination, in part, due to a lack of knowledge about them. In response to this, the NAMED project produce knowledge of the state of education about and for national minorities in mainstream education, as education is a vital actor in addressing the need for more knowledge about national minorities in the general public.

Rasmus Sinn (remote from Frankfurt) Study planning - ERP signatures of grammatical gender processing in German L1 reading
Abstract The retrieval of grammatical gender during reading remains underdetermined and largely absent from models of lexical access. Important support for a dual-route mechanism, where gender is thought to be partly accessed sub-lexically from form-based regularities of nouns, comes from even-related potential (ERP) studies conducted in Spanish and Italian. These are languages considered to be transparent with regard to form-to-gender mappings on nouns. However, the cross-linguistic generalization to more opaque languages is unclear. Thus, in this study we attempt to replicate the ERP findings from previous experiments with German, a semi-transparent language when it comes to gender. We plan to visually present native speakers with German sentences word-by-word while recording their electroencephalogram (EEG). Sentences will include grammatical gender violations on article–noun pairs and nouns will vary on their ending-to-gender transparency. In this talk, I will present the details of our experimental design and stimuli to get some feedback on our choices. Additionally, we plan to conduct a similar future study in Norwegian, a language that has been generally described as displaying (almost) no gender transparency. For this, it will be helpful to discuss cross-linguistic differences between German and Norwegian, which we should then carefully consider for a comparable and informative study design.

Katie Sendek Bilingual experience changes linguistic prediction in surprising ways
Abstract Linguistic prediction has been reliably seen to enhance processing in monolinguals, but has been highly inconsistent for bilinguals. Given that the majority of previous studies have looked at these effects only between monolinguals and bilinguals in their L2, these mixed findings may have been due to conflation of different types of experience crucial to linguistic prediction. Here, I investigated two dissociable dimensions of experience to assess their impact on the neural effects of prediction: target language knowledge (TLK) and dual language experience (DLE). The results showed differential effects of these two types of experience, indicating the importance of accounting for experiential differences both between and within groups.

Abstract: Compared with adults, children are sharply limited when it comes to many intellectual activities (math, science, art) or cognitive abilities (memory, attention, social inference). Nonetheless, they are strikingly more successful at learning language. The question of why is one of the oldest in cognitive science and among the most hotly debated. I present recent behavioral, neurological, and computational results based on millions of subjects that begin to fill in the missing parts of the puzzle, suggesting a radically different picture of how language learning changes with age.

Guillaume Thierry (Professor, Bangor University) Bridging the Syntactic Divide: How Language Distance Shapes Bilingual Minds
Abstract: Linguistic distance profoundly influences how bilinguals process and represent language at various levels and, particularly, syntax. This talk explores how syntactic distance shapes bilingual cognition, drawing on evidence from French-English, Polish-English, Welsh-English, and Chinese-English bilinguals. French-English bilinguals have different uses for the present perfect and the passé composé—forms that are formally equivalent but functionally distinct— and they display separate syntactic representations for these constructions. Eye-tracking results reveal that grammatical violations in English sentences fail to elicit the expected reading time increases due to interference from passé composé, since literal translations in French would be correct (Skałba & Thierry, in prep). Welsh-English bilinguals exemplify how abstract syntactic rules transfer anomalously across languages. The Welsh soft mutation rule, absent in English, can affect how anomalous words of English are processed, depending on whether they follow Welsh mutation rules. This transfer occurs independently of phonological overlap (Vaughan-Evans et al., 2014). Furthermore, the canonical Adjective-Noun word order of English and Welsh can co-exist in the mind of Welsh-English bilinguals tested only in English as shown by variation of the variations of the N200 (Sanoudaki & Thierry, 2014; 2015). Chinese-English bilinguals showcase an extreme case of linguistic distance since grammatical tense does not exist in Mandarin Chinese. Despite explicit mastery of English tense rules, Chinese individuals fluent in English fail to process tense-conveyed temporal differences in real time, as shown by the absence of expected N400 modulations of event-related potentials (Li et al., 2018; 2023). Together, these findings reveal how linguistic distance modulates syntactic processing in bilinguals, influencing representations and transfer. This work may have broad implications for second-language acquisition, bilingual education, and our understanding of cognitive flexibility in bilinguals.

SEPTEMBER 15-16TH - Methods for Online Language Research
C-LaBL is proud to host the workshop "Methods for Online Language Research" with Research Associate ProfessorJoshua Hartshorne from the MGH Institute of Health Professions (USA).
Workshop Part 1: Rethinking your research for the online world The biggest challenge for most researchers attempting to do their research online is that the standard, tried-and-true experimental paradigms are often ill-suited or outright impractical. On further consideration, this is not surprising: our standard paradigms have been optimized over the last 150 years to the affordances of the in-person university laboratory. The online world has very different affordances, and indeed the most impactful online studies have looked very little like in-lab studies. Thus, this workshop is not about how to run established laboratory paradigms online, but how to use online studies to answer your research questions. The morning session will look at innovative online studies in order to provide inspiration. The afternoon session will be a hands-on "ideathon" in which you workshop research ideas and get feedback.
Both sessions will address both paid participants (e.g., through MTurk or Prolific) and volunteer citizen science methods, as well as the pros and cons of each. We will also consider studies with adults, with children, with clinical populations, with cross-cultural populations, and even some neuroscientific methods (warning: the latter remain mostly aspirational).
Workshop Part 2: Advances in online methods, with jsPsych and Pushkin Options for stimulus presentation and data-collection online keep getting better. An example is an explosion of recent work using webcams to do sophisticated eye-tracking experiments. The morning session will review recent research on data-quality, including timing of stimulus presentation, collecting reaction times, running eye-tracking experiments, calibrating audio, etc. We will also cover trips and pitfalls that snare the unwary experimenter.
The afternoon session will focus on jsPsych (and its companion project, Pushkin). Why use jsPsych when there are increasingly good drag-and-drop options for running online studies (e.g., Gorilla). The answer is, in a word, flexibility. The most interesting studies (in the opinion of the presenter) cannot be run online using Gorilla or other commercial options. There is a learning curve with jsPsych, though, so we will discuss under what conditions and for what studies it is worth the up-front investment. Depending on time and interest, we may also do some compare-and-contrast with other options, like Empirica or PsychoJS.
For both sessions, we will make things as concrete as possible by discussing actual research proposals and ideas, so audience members are encouraged to come with research ideas to get feedback on feasibility, consider the usefulness of jsPsych, etc.
NOVEMBER 11TH - Practical workshop on trauma-informed approaches to research and teaching
The large-scale resettlement of Ukrainian refugees across Europe has drawn growing research interest from linguists, sociolinguists, sociologists, and educators. Yet, in most cases, neither researchers nor educators have specialized training in working with populations who may have been exposed to traumatic events. This gap is significant, as psychological trauma can profoundly affect learning, communication, and participation.This practical workshop comprises three sessions focusing on trauma-informed teaching, trauma-informed research, and self-care/burnout prevention when workingwith individuals impacted by significant stress or trauma. The workshop will be led byAnna Lenchovska, a Ukrainian psychologist specializing in trauma-informed education and research.The workshop will be delivered in English and is open to faculty, students, practitioners, and community partners who work with displaced or war-affected communities.
This event is supported by NordForsk grant to the LINC project (Project No 191524) and the Trond Mohn Stiftelse grant to the Center for Language, Brain & Learning (C-LaBL), project number TMS2023UIT01.
NOVEMBER 27-28TH - Issues in Phonological Typology
Virtually all phonological theorising references phonological typology in some respect. For example, cross-linguistic tendencies are routinely invoked in support of claims about markedness and the constraint set. At the same time, there remain major divides in the field with respect to evidential and explanatory standards. Researchers often operate under distinct formal assumptions about levels of representation, the nature of phonological alternations, and the relationship between phonetics and phonology. A persistent question concerns how well a theory can accommodate only and all the attested patterns: formal accounts often face issues of over-generation or under-generation, and the nature of typological gaps remains elusive.
The workshop “Issues in Phonological Typology” seeks to bring together researchers whose work connects phonological theory and phonological typology across a broad range of theoretical, methodological, and empirical domains and approaches. We welcome contributions that:
Develop explanatory accounts of typological patterns and gaps that are grounded in acquisition, historical change, or system-internal factors;
Apply experimental methods such as Artificial Grammar Learning or other laboratory-phonological approaches to typological questions;
Use novel sources of empirical data beyond traditional descriptive materials;
Bridge formal and functional approaches;
Address methodological challenges in establishing and interpreting generalisations across different types of empirical evidence.
Welcome to a 2-hour workshop on how to archive and share your data in The Tromsø Repository of Language and Linguistics (TROLLing)!
We invite you to bring your own research data* and any research data management questions/challenges you may have. The workshop will start with a very brief introduction to the repository, followed by a practical part where you can test archiving your data.
The TROLLing curation team will be present and ready to guide you/answer questions/discuss challenges.
Please bring your own laptop. If you have questions prior to the workshop, please contact Helene N. Andreassen (Helene.n.andreassen@uit.no).

Nouns, verbs and adjectives are innate and highly conserved in animals Chris Golston (California State University Fresno), Guest Lecture
Abstract: There is surprising evidence that the grammatical categories person, number, and gender are part of general animal cognition and trace back 500 million years to the Cambrian explosion (Golston 2018). In this talk I argue that the same applies to the grammatical categories noun, verb, and adjective. I claim that these are universal in human language because they are universal in animal cognition. A typical dinosaur thought might be: My (person, number) nest(noun) is (verb) empty (adjective). Animals don’t express any of this in their communication systems, which are quite poor compared to any human language; but their thoughts, like ours, are not limited by their ability to communicate them.

Flere språk til flereer formidlingskanalen til C-LaBL. Vi er en gren av forsknings- og informasjonssenteret Bilingualism Matters, et globalt nettverk med mer enn 25 universiteter som arbeider med flerspråklighet, grunnlagt av professor Antonella Sorace i 2008. Målet vårt er å formidle forskningsfunn om flerspråklighet og språklæring til et bredere publikum. Vi mener at det er mange fordeler ved å ha mer enn ett språk.
gi råd til foreldre og/eller barn om flerspråklighet
svare på spørsmål (via e-post, telefon, zoom eller personlig) om å oppdra flerspråklige barn
holde en presentasjon i barnehagen din, skolen din eller i lokalsamfunnet ditt
tilby opplæring om flerspråklighet og språklæring
gi ytterligere informasjon og ressurser via nettstedet vårt
invitere deg til å delta i forskning ved C-LaBL
For ytterligere informasjon, råd eller for å avtale en presentasjon, send oss gjerne en e-post på Postboks-FSF@HSL.uit.no. Du kan følge oss på Facebookeller besøke nettstedet vårt.
