Twenty learners of L3 Swedish who had previously acquired two gender systems; one in their L1 Polish and the other in their L2 German, completed a speeded Gender Decision Task in Swedish and an untimed Gender Assignment Task in German. All noun stimuli were congruent in gender across the three languages (neuter → neuter, masculine and feminine → uter). Learners who erroneously assigned neuter gender to feminine but not to masculine nouns in L2 German showed higher error rates and longer response latencies in their attempts to retrieve uter gender in L3 Swedish. No interference was observed for neuter nouns. The present study thus demonstrates that incorrect gender representations in L2 German compete for selection with the target gender representations in L3 Swedish and that this cross-language interference is not always successfully resolved. Based on these findings, it is suggested that in the multilingual lexicon the connection of the uter gender node to the feminine gender node is weaker than to the masculine gender node.","PeriodicalId":40403,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Scandinavian Studies","volume":"130 ","pages":"117 - 137"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41315560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our focus is mainly on book cover images, and methodologically we use concepts and tools from Kress and van Leeuwen’s Grammar of visual design. Nature and landscape are prominent in Parr’s œuvre, which is set in the Western part of Norway, where mountains and the sea are always present. Results show that the French cover positions itself as the most ecocentric one, whereas the Swedish and the German covers are much more anthropocentric.","PeriodicalId":40403,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Scandinavian Studies","volume":"53 1","pages":"42 - 60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41417116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, both the tale type and the medieval narrative contain an intriguing episode about an item of clothing – a delicate slipper, or a magic cloak – which perfectly fits only one particular woman. This article will show that Icelandic medieval literature and modern fairy tales sharing the image of a colourful fleeced ram are at the crossroads of Cinderella and the mantle tradition, and will help bring them into mutual illumination.","PeriodicalId":40403,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Scandinavian Studies","volume":"53 1","pages":"61 - 79"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45462264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the focus on spatial and temporal oppositions, the connection of topological and semantic features of subspaces, as well as possible borders and their potential crossing can make a significant contribution to the interpretation of lyrical texts and also guide the interpretation of non-spatial text structures – such as word choice, motifs, and perspective – in appropriate poems. This is illustrated in the analysis of the poems “Indvielsen” (A. W. Schack von Staffeldt, 1804); “Borte!” (Henrik Ibsen, 1871); “Hvis jeg står” (Inger Christensen, 1962) and “Resan” (Tomas Tranströmer, 1962).

In both novels, the protagonist suddenly discovers their father’s secret history connected with their conduct during World War II. This revelation causes a new insight into their own and their family’s history and identity, and this in turn brings about feelings of shame and confusion. By using anagnorisis as a narrative device, the novels explore the gradual and ambivalent acceptance of a new identity and negotiations with social and personal expectations tied to being a descendent of a perpetrator.","PeriodicalId":40403,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Scandinavian Studies","volume":"53 1","pages":"23 - 41"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47922170","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
