  Cet article explore la manière dont l’avenir est perçu dans des blogs portant sur les changements climatiques, extraits du corpus NTAP (Networks of Text and People). L’analyse, principalement entreprise dans une perspective lexicale, se concentre sur les périodes 2009-2010 et 2013-2014. Les résultats montrent que les perspectives négatives et pessimistes dominent grandement sur les perspectives positives et optimistes.

  Narratives of exile and migration pose important questions related to the role of language in the representation of space, both that of home and away as well as sites of transit. This article argues that the textualisation of space is a central strategy for representing these spaces as place, i.e. as the site and product of lived experience, and that toponyms, place names are an important linguistic tool in this respect. The article draws on critical place name studies in order to examine the political and emotional aspects of place names in narratives of exile and migration. To do so, it examines the role of place names in Abdellah Taïa’s novel Une mélancolie Arabe, a text where place names play an important role, as the protagonist navigates between his native Morocco, his adopted city Paris, and Cairo, capital of the Arab world; and where the names of the cities come to function as symbolic representations of home and freedom. The use of place names thus becomes ameans of recreating places that may be geographically distant, but emotionally close. Moreover, the close relations the text establishes between place names on the one hand, and emotions and affect on the other, give reason to reconsider the textual and mnemonic functions of place names.

  Migrant narratives and aesthetic practices influenced by experiences of exile and migration constitute a growing field in contemporary art and literature. Current trends in migration and globalisation have led to an increase in travelling narratives, images and objects, and the production of aesthetic practices describing and problematising exile and migration, working in and through tradition. Migratory patterns and issues related to the protection of refugees and asylum seekers contribute to the strong societal impact of migrant aesthetics and narratives, but they also serve to explain the need for them as such, and the need to reexamine them. More than ever, we need to understand the experiences of exiles, migrants and refugees. The objective of this special issue is therefore to examine textual, material and visual expressions that represent, discuss and problematise migration

  Sammendrag Artikkelen tar opp fremmedspråkenes formidling av interkulturell kompetanse, og hvordan denne er knyttet til skolens samlede danningsprosjekt. Artikkel-forfatterne diskuterer hvordan migrantnarrativer kan brukes som inngangs-portal til utviklingen av interkulturell kompetanse, og hvordan disse narrativ-ene, gjennom å presentere det pedagogen Gerhard Neuner kaller universelle sosiokulturelle erfaringer, er egnet som materiale for perspektivforflytning og evnen til å se “den andre”, som er sentrale begrep innenfor det interkulturelle undervisningsparadigmet. Tidligere forskning har vist at fremmedspråkenes læremidler i begrenset grad benytter seg av det potensialet som ligger i arbeidet med interkulturell kompetanse knyttet til språkområdene. Artikkelforfatterne har derfor foretatt analyser av læreverktekster i fransk, spansk og italiensk, valgt ut på grunnlag av forståelsen av migrantnarrativer som særlig egnet for å jobbe med denne typen kompetanse. De undersøkte tekstene representerer ulike sider ved migrant-narrativer (estetisk, kulturelt og historisk), men krever en grad av kontekstuali-sering for å kunne fungere som døråpnere for interkulturell kompetanse.

  Environmental neologisms demonstrate the influence that political debates have in generating new words. In this article, we account for the case of det grønne skiftet ('the green shift') which has shown greatly increasing frequency over the last few years. While frequency as a criterion was already used in past studies, we propose to use the spread of an expression across domains as a criterion for neologicity. Analyses based on corpus data are more reliable than approaches based on dictionaries or on native speakers' intuition.The article presents a case study relying on public sources as well as the Norwegian Newspaper Corpus, now searchable via CLARINO, the Norwegian contribution to CLARIN, a European project for language tools and resources.

  This paper investigates how the notion of future is represented in a large corpus of English-language blogs related to climate change, with an overarching interest in exploring to what extent the perspectives of gloom-and-doom versus more positive perspectives of a sustainable society are represented. We address the following questions: (1) How are representations of the future expressed linguistically in public debates related to climate change? (2) What meanings do the representations convey? Our principal contribution is a set of nine meaning categories that characterize different representations of the future: the categories were derived by following a corpus-assisted discourse analysis approach. Within these categories, the large presence of characterisations related to sustainability, as well as frequent positive value-laden characterisations, are noteworthy. Representa- tions reflect various perspectives of a future for humanity, for nature, and for countries as well as for economies. Further, we have found that when climate change is viewed as a threat, it is in relation to nature, humans and security, while it is seen as an opportunity for growth in business and industry. The results provide knowledge on how people conceive the possible impacts of global climate and environmental change within two broad perspectives of a ‘‘gloom-and-doom’’ versus a ‘‘bright’’ future. This may contribute to an improved basis for political decision making on measures in order to avoid dangerous consequences as well as to encourage engagement in the shift toward a low-carbon future.

  This chapter will propose a model for the analysis of argumentative connectives (thus, therefore, but etc.) in political discourse. While argumentative connectives have traditionally been analysed as text cohesion devices (Halliday) or pragmatic markers (Schiffrin, Blakemore) in an Anglo context, we propose to analyse them as a closed set of expressions that code logical and argumentative relations between clauses, performing the double function of text cohesion and argument coding, inspired by linguistic polyphony (Ducrot, etc.). In this chapter we demonstrate the relevance of linguistic polyphony for the analysis of political discourse through a case study of the use of argumentative connectives in Nicolas Sarkozy’s speeches to the European Parliament. The study shows that argumentative connectives contribute to rhetorical effects such as naturalisation of discourse, the representation of shared European values as well as the involvement of the audience in a co-construction of argumentation.

  The present paper addresses the question of whether it is possible to identify cultural identities in research articles written within different disciplines and different languages through a selection of various types of linguistic manifestations. The main focus is on person presence as realised through different academic voices, representing what we call the self- and the other-dimensions. By self we refer to the author and by other to the reader and other persons related in one way or another to the community in question. This approach is linked to a rhetorical view of scientific discourse as something which is created in a particular multivoiced communicative situation. Our aim is to show that in order to determine the complex constellations of academic voices present “behind” various obvious person manifestations, it is necessary to take into account both linguistic cotext and extralinguistic context. The choice of contextual dimensions to consider constitutes an issue closely related to our conception of cultural identity in the discipline and language perspectives. The issue presented above is related to the Norwegian research project “Cultural Identity in Academic Prose”, abbreviated by the Norwegian acronym KIAP (www.uib.no/kiap).

  Translingual Practice in Jonas Carpignano's Mediterranea Mediterranea is American-Italian film-maker Jonas Carpignano’s first feature-length film, and it tells the story of two young men as they make their way from Burkina Faso across the Mediterranean, to precarious living and working conditions in the South of Italy. The film is inspired by the experiences of the lead actor Koudous Seihon, and real-life events in the city of Rosarno, and has been widely praised as a nuanced portrait of contemporary migration (Appel, 2015; Schulz 2016). Shot in a naturalistic style, the film represents and problematizes the experience of migration through the lens of biographical narration, situated in the complex context of the present-day Mediterranean. According to Giuliani (2017), Mediterranea is part of a larger wave of films where the biographical and narrative forms allows for the articulation of critiques of contemporary regimes of mobility: "[…] the biographical narration of a collective dramatic phenomenon – originated by aspirations, wishes, hopes, and a subjective "right to escape" (Mezzadra, 2006) – becomes, […] a place of 'identification' through a shared experience – in the words of Paul Gilroy (2003) – of contestation, resistance, and subversion. These practices of decolonization contribute to a comprehensive pan-Mediterranean, transnational, intra-European mapping of micro-narrative of resistance.” (Giuliani, 2017, s. 13) In addition, Mediterranea connects with contemporary interest in linguistic heterogeneity as a crucial feature of contemporary mobility (Canut & Guellouz, 2018), as well as of the literary representation of migration and exile (Skalle & Gjesdal, 2019). The analytical focus of this paper is the encounter of the “micro-narrative of resistance” and linguistic heterogeneity in Mediterranea, and the paper argues that translingual practice (Canagarajah, 2017) is an important device in the biographical narration of Mediterranea. This hypothesis will be examined through a close-reading of the contribution of translingual practice in the representation of the agency of the main character, Ayiva, who speaks French, Italian, English, Mossi, Bissa and Asante as he navigates the journey from Burkina Faso to Rosarno.

  Filmen Middelhavet av Jonas Carpignano handler om to brødre, Ayiva og Abas, som vil ta seg fra hjemlandet Burkina Faso til Europa. Filmen vil være utgangspunktet for dette miniseminarets fokus på migrasjonsnarrativer og fremmedspråksundervisning: a) Filmen er et svært godt eksempel på de ressursene som ligger i det å være flerspråklig og flerkulturell, og vi ønsker å vise frem dette i parallell diskusjon med begreper som flerspråklighet, språkvariasjon og kulturmøter og deres plass i språkundervisning. b) Vi vil også diskutere hvordan migrasjonsfortellingen i filmen kan brukes i fremmedspråksklasserommet når man jobber med læreplanens punkt om interkulturell kompetanse.

Dans cette intervention, nous nous intéressons au cas du démantèlement de la « Jungle » de Calais qui a eu lieu en octobre 2016. Cet événement a été documenté entre autres à travers les médias sociaux où des militants et des associations ont tâché de produire une mémoire collective autour de l’évacuation du camp en mettant en ligne des images, des vidéos et des textes, ce qui constitue un matériau précieux pour l’analyse des récits sur les expériences de la migration et de l’exil. Or, les médias sociaux présentent des défis à l’analyse linguistique, en ce sens qu’ils représentent la cooccurrence de plusieurs modes sémiotiques (images, texte, vidéo), nécessitant une approche multimodale à leur analyse mais aussi en ce sens que ce matériau nécessite une réflexion éthique importante de la part des chercheurs.

  De siste årene har vi sett en økt oppmerksomhet rundt spørsmål knyttet til eksil, migrasjon og mobilitet, både innen forskning og i samfunnet forøvrig. Samtidig skjer det en omfattende produksjon av kunstneriske, filmatiske og litterære uttrykk som på ulike vis tematiserer eksil og migrasjon. Erfaringer med migrasjon og eksil blir dokumentert, formidlet og problematisert i litteratur, film og billedkunst, og denne kunstneriske produksjonen er en viktig anledning til å revurdere fremmedspråksfagenes fokus, både forskningsmessig og didaktisk. Forskningsmessig er migrantnarrativer et viktig studieobjekt, både gjennom formale trekk, og gjennom tematisering av viktige problemstillinger, som kjønn, identitet og tilhørighet. Når det gjelder fremmedspråksdidaktikk kan migrantnarrativer være et viktig supplement til dagens lærebøker og kanon, fordi de fremviser den lerspråklige og multikulturelle virkeligheten i språkområdene. I denne presentasjonen vil jeg presentere forskergruppen Migrantnarrativer ved Universitetet i Bergen, en tverrfaglig forskergruppe bestående av didaktikere, lingvister og litteratur- og filmvitere. og gi eksempler fra vår pågående forskning innen franskspråklig og italienskspråklig litteratur.

  Climate change communication is a highly dynamic and interdisciplinary domain, spanning disciplines such as climatology, law, and social sciences, as well as scientific and political discourses and genres. This scientific and discursive complexity is likely to correspond to a lexical dynamism, as climate change communication is, relatively speaking, a recent phenomenon (Gjesdal & Lyse, 2016). Moreover, climate change discussions play out over a range of national, European and international contexts, further complicating the communication (Kristiansen, 2014). How does this interaction of contexts affect the translation and formation of climate change terms? Moreover, how does the terminology use vary across the discourses and genres? In this presentation, we will consider the formation and translation of climate change terms in Norwegian, using the concepts of mitigation and adaptation as a case. Norwegian is a relatively small language community, and has an established national language policy; however, little active language planning and terminology work is carried out. Norway is a major global player in petroleum production. At the same time, the country aims to play a role in climate change negotiations internationally (Fløttum & Espeland, 2014). The need for a climate change terminology in Norwegian is therefore urgent, for political as well as language planning reasons. A challenge in the Norwegian context is the transparency of terms, in order to assure the comprehension of terms across domains, e.g. scientific and political discourse, and across specialized and general discourses. In 2010, the Norwegian Language Council carried out a survey to see how well ten expressions used regularly in the on-going climate debate are understood in society in general (Norwegian Language Council, 2010). Whereas terms such as ‘global oppvarming’ (‘global warming’) were well understood, the survey indicated that less than 50 per cent of the respondents understood the terms ‘drivhuseffekt’ (‘greenhouse effect’) and ‘klimaskeptiker’ (‘climate sceptic’). The question of climate change terminology is therefore both urgent and timely. Consequently, the Norwegian Language Council is currently in the process of standardising climate change terminology for Norwegian, and has established an expert group to work on this project. However, a de facto process of terminologisation and secondary term formation has been ongoing for several decades. In this process, several major players can be identified. First, the Norwegian Environment Agency is an important agent in the process of climate change term formation, as it is responsible for the translation and dissemination of documents related to the UN efforts on climate change, as embodied by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Second, research communities related to climate change, in particular in the natural sciences are important players. Their efforts on term formation is also further disseminated to the general public via science popularisation. Political discourse, represented by parliamentary debates, is also an interesting outlet for climate change communication and inter alia for the dissemination of new terms. Finally, newspaper discourse is an interesting source in order to observe the eventual stabilisation of climate change terms. This entails the necessity of considering a wide range of materials and domains in the observation of term formation.

  Hvordan kan migrantnarrativer brukes som et møtepunkt for fremmedspråkene fransk, italiensk og spansk, og for å jobbe med flerspråklighet og interkulturell kompetanse? I forelesningen tar vi utgangspunkt i filmen Middelhavet av Jonas Carpignano, som handler om to brødre på vei fra hjemlandet Burkina Faso til Europa. Filmen tematiserer betydningen av Middelhavet som Europas grense og hovedarena for dramatiske reiser i håp om et bedre liv, og går dermed rett inn i aktuelle debatter om den såkalte flyktningekrisen og integrering. Samtidig viser den betydningen av flerspråklighet og interkulturell kompetanse. Filmen er dermed et nyttig utgangspunkt for fagovergripende arbeid med fremmedspråkene.

  Since the 90s, the development of intercultural competence has become increasingly prominent in modern language teaching (Byram & Zarate 1994, Hu & Byram 2009, Kramsch 1993, 2009). Language proficiency alone is not considered sufficient in an increasingly multicultural and transnational world, and intercultural competence has therefore come to be seen as an essential part of teaching materials and curricula. In this paper, we will consider the Norwegian case, where intercultural competence is one of the objectives of the national curriculum for foreign languages (The Norwegian Directorate for Education and Training). We argue that narratives of migrants and refugees may provide a useful material for studying intercultural encounters, which may form the basis for reflexions on intercultural competence. We examine the case of French and Italian teaching in Norway, and through case studies we argue for the use of teaching materials based on such narratives. Moreover, this approach has the added benefit of challenging traditional approaches centered on Italy and France, which are still largely dominant in a Norwegian laguage teaching context and modern language studies at large.

  Cette thèse propose une méthodologie pour l'analyse des éléments grammaticaux polysémiques, notamment le pronom ON, à partir d'une réflexion sur le cadre théorique de la Sémantique de Textes. À travers des analyses de deux genres déterminés - l'article scientifique et la poésie - la thèse montre l'interaction et l'influence réciproque de ON et le contexte, aussi bien au niveau de la phrase qu'au celui du texte. La première partie de la thèse traite de la sémantique de ON et de sa classification grammaticale. Elle montre les limitations des descriptions grammaticales basées sur des critères peu précis, et la confusion entre emplois indéfinis et emplois pour des personnes déterminées qui s'exprime par l'oxymoron « pronom personnel indéfini ». Par conséquent, la thèse se propose d'affiner la description sémantique de ON, notamment par une élaboration de la notion de contexte et son influence sur l'interprétation de ce pronom. La variation dans les emplois de ON ne peut pas se réduire à un seul noyau de sens (core meaning) et l'on propose un modèle sémique approprié à l'analyse de ON selon l'hypothèse que les différents emplois correspondent à la réalisation ou l'annulation des différents sèmes en contexte. La seconde partie de la thèse présente deux études de l'emploi de ON dans des genres déterminés ; l'article scientifique et la poésie. La première étude examine l'emploi de ON dans un corpus d'articles scientifiques (le corpus KIAP, voir www.kiap.uib.no) et montre l'influence de paramètres contextuels aussi bien au niveau micro (verbes, temps verbaux, adverbes) qu'au niveau macro (disposition linéaire du texte). La seconde étude analyse l'emploi de ON dans L'excès - l'usine de Leslie Kaplan (1994) à partir de la notion de zones anthropiques (Rastier 1996) qui décrit les relations entre dimensions sémantiques et expériences humaines. Dans cette perspective, ON fonctionne comme un médiateur entre les différentes zones, notamment entre le sujet et le monde qui l'entoure. La flexibilité discursive de ON, allant de l'indéfini jusqu'au déterminé, constitue un facteur remarquable dans la représentation textuelle de l'aliénation du sujet dans ce texte.

  Authorial presence in research articles (KIAP project) – the case of the French pronoun ’on’. Authorial presence in scientific texts differs in nature and in frequency according to different disciplines and languages. In the present paper, we will study authorial presence in research articles written in English, French and Norwegian taken from the disciplines of economics, linguistics and medicine. In the first part of the paper, we will focus on the manifestation of arguing authors through the use of first person and indefinite pronouns and through the use of polyphonic markers such as the negation “not” and the concessive connective “but” (and their counterparts in French and Norwegian). The distinction between explicit and implicit argumentation will be central. In the second part, we will investigate the role of the French pronoun “on” (‘one’) in the perspective of authorial presence. French research articles are characterised by a complex pattern of pronominal use: The pronouns “je” (‘I’), “nous” (‘we’) and “on” can all be used to refer to the author; “on” can also be used in an indefinite or generic sense which is close to impersonal constructions. The semantics of personal pronouns can be seen as resulting from the interaction of their inherent values (in langue) and their discoursal, or contextually determined values. The norms imposed by the genre constitute an important aspect of the discoursal value of pronouns. However, we will argue that relations within the text itself also determine pronominal semantics. In this perspective, each text can be said to have an individual pronominal system where pronouns interact and contribute to the textual argumentation. In the present paper, we will discuss results from a qualitative study of pronominal use and passive constructions in articles taken from the KIAP Corpus (see below). We will argue that the pronouns constitute a particular system of representations of authorial voice. Furthermore, we will argue that the pronominal system is complemented by passive constructions and that the play of these different values constitutes an important feature of the rhetoric of the research article. Our material is taken from the electronic KIAP Corpus, consisting of 450 research articles, established within the KIAP project (KIAP is short for Cultural Identity in Academic Prose; see www.uib.no/kiap). In KIAP we have studied to what extent and in which ways research articles display traces of authors and their interaction with the reader and the whole discourse community, in different disciplines, in different languages, and in individual texts, with a particular focus on the manifestation of different voices. Our key issue has been whether cultural identities can be identified in academic discourse, and, if so, whether these identities are related primarily to language or to academic discipline. Our findings indicate that discipline is more important than language with regard to cultural identities in academic discourse and that discipline is a more important variable than language to explain similarities and differences between research articles.
