  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 affected by NN exposure. The more exposure the NN nonnatives had, the larger the P600 was, driven by the presence of number agreement (ungrammatical in NN). In contrast, less exposure correlated to the inverse: P600 driven by the absence of number agreement (ungrammatical in most other dialects). The NN natives showed P600 driven by the presence of number agreement regardless of exposure. These findings suggests that bilectalism entails the representation of distinct mental grammars for each dialect. However, like all instances of bilingualism, bilectalism exists on a continuum whereby linguistic processing is modulated by linguistic experience.

• Sandstedt, Jade Jørgen Michael; Strand, Bror-Magnus Sviland & Lundquist, Björn (2023). The prosodic word (tone accent phrase) is the core planning unit in Norwegian speech planning/production. Show summary

  The prosodic word (PW) has been proposed as a planning unit in speech production (Levelt et al., 1999; Wynne et al., 2018) given that speech onset latencies (RT) are smaller for Dutch and English utterances with fewer PWs (keeping number of lexical items/syllables constant). The present study employs four speech production experiments to investigate the role of prosodic constituency (and resulting RTs) in prepared vs. on-line speech production in Norwegian–a pitch-accent language where PWs are distinctively demarcated by a complex system of stress and pitch accent patterns. We examine how RTs are modulated by number of syllables, lexical items, and prosodic words. A mixed-effects gamma regression model, accounting for random effects of participants, was used to analyse the RT data, revealing significant effects of number of PWs and number of syllables. However, no significant differences were found between polylexical compounds and monomorphemic disyllabic nouns, suggesting that speech planning latencies are foremost determined by phonological and prosodic form (number of syllables and prosodic words), rather than morphological complexity or number of lexical items. These results provide novel insights from a pitchaccent prosodic system which further highlight the role of prosodic units in incremental speech planning and production.

  Natural languages rarely exhibit free ordering of words: changes in word order usually affect the semantics or pragmatics of sentences. Still it is unclear what drives the development of rigid mappings between form (here, word order) and meaning in natural languages: is it driven by biases in the acquisition process or by performance pressures (production/perception) in language use? We investigate onset latencies, production times, and hesitations in a database of elicited speech (Nordic Word-order Database) of variable and non-variable sentence types from Swedish and Norwegian. We find that variable sentence types are not associated with more production difficulties than rigid sentences. In a Norwegian follow-up study, we correlate the amount of word-order variation in spoken production on a speaker-level with the speaker's ability to discriminate sentences with different word orders (e.g., "he kicked the dog out" vs "he kicked out the dog"). We find a correlation between production and perception of variation. We argue that the variation is neither semantically nor stylistically motivated, but a result of genuinely underspecified grammars. Still, some speakers show rigid behavior both in production and perception, suggesting that regularisation processes takes place during acquisition rather than through usage.

  Main findings Word order optionality is neither taxing nor facilitative for the speaker: a deterministic mapping from meaning to form does not facilitate speech production. Word order flexibility can have a facilitative effect, if the flexibility can be used as a means to re-use recently activated prosodic chunks. On the other hand, word order flexibility is not directly used for maintaining previously activated relative surface orderings between syntactic constituents. Strength of prosodic boundaries between words in a self-produced prime sentence influences the choice of word order in a target sentence: the weaker the prosodic boundary between two linearly adjacent words, the greater likelihood of producing a target sentence that maintains that linear order. In short: In speech production, onset latencies and production times are shortened if the words in the sentence have been recently activated (i.e., there is lexical priming), but slowdown occurs if prosodic constituents cannot be reused (prosodic priming). There is little or no effect of word order, once prosody is controlled for.
