The subject of this dissertation is Norwegian modal verbs, modal auxiliaries or, if one prefers, simply modals. The term modals will be employed in this dissertation, since this term, unlike the other two, is not inherently encumbered with theoretical assumptions about the categorical status of these linguistic elements.

Avhandlingen tar utgangspunkt i landskaps- og stedsbeskrivelser i et utvalg av Dag Solstads noveller, kortprosatekster og romaner fra 1965-99. Avhandlingen viser hvordan de skiftende figurasjonene av landskap og omgivelser kan tolkes som uttrykk for vilkårene for å gjøre historiske erfaringer i Solstads norske, geografiske livsverden i andre halvdel av det 20. århundret.

The thesis presents the development and changes of the Norwegian written standard in the United States during the second half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. The research is based on the material from the newspapers published by the Norwegian immigrant community in the United States. For the purpose of the analyses, three leading Norwegian written newspapers (Decorah-Posten, Skandinaven, Minneapolis Tidende; commonly known as The Big Three) were selected. The development of Norwegian is documented from the perspective of language management and its theory. The first part of the analyses deals with the influence of English as the dominant language of the area on the written Norwegian. Morphological and orthographic integration of English loanwords as well as the most affected fields of the immigrants' lexicon are discussed in this part. The second view monitors the impact of the spelling reform codified in 1907 in Norway on the written standard of the immigrants in the United States and its extent. Features such as voiced/voiceless occlusives, plural and preterite forms, use of double consonants and font are studied in the newspaper material. The individual research points give a general view on the topic of the written Norwegian as used by the immigrants in their press....

<p>The purpose with a TPM is to ease the workload for both the maintenance organization and the airline. Until today Norwegian has had problems caused by absence of clear directives how the administrative work between the maintenance organization and the airline should go on. Norwegian wants a manual where issues about responsibility distribution, working procedures and the way of business are clearly illustrated and described. In this project we have focused on a couple of chosen procedures as “Technical Log Procedure”, “Work Order Procedure” and “Spare Part Procedure”. We have tried to create an easy-lucid and user-friendly manual as a result of flowcharts and declaring pictures. The work has been performed in Norwegian´s head office at Stockholm Arlanda Airport.</p>

The goal of this thesis is to analyze five selected novels of the Norwegian modern literature in terms of the theory of tragedy. The thesis focuses on four basic aspects of the topic. First, we are trying to capture and describe the concept of tragic in general. This is done with help of theories of the tragic that: 1) are generally considered significant in the area of tragedy 2) are interesting in connection with the interpretation of the novels chosen for this thesis. Secondly, we are trying to describe main topics that could help us to identify and investigate the tragic in the above mentioned works. After this, the thesis brings a closer analysis of the novels with regard to the previously described theories. It also focuses in this connection on some additional characteristics of tragedy, as well as more theories connected to the tragic area. Furthermore, these analyses lead to repeated encounters of various interpretations of classical and modern features of tragedy. The conclusion of the thesis points out the most significant features of the analyzed works that form, according to my opinion, the tragic basis in the novels (in this context, the thesis compares the five chosen novels with each other, thus showing that one of them differs from the rest). As a result, I come to the conclusion...

Uppsatsen berör hur remediering kan användas för att synliggöra innehållet i litteratur. Exemplet som används för att närma sig frågan består av två estetiska verk. Det ena är The Beatles sång Norwegian wood, från skivan ”Rubber soul” från 1965. Det andra är Haruki Murakamis roman från 1987 med samma namn. En fråga som besvaras med hjälp av undersökningen är för det första huruvida romanen är att betrakta som en remediering av sången. Vidare undersöks om jämförelsen är rimlig som pedagogiskt verktyg. Därefter besvaras vilka förtjänster som står att finna i en så pass ovanlig remedieringsform. Avslutningsvis ställs frågan ifall urpsrungsverket bidrar till att synliggöra effekter som annars skulle vara svårtillgängliga inom ”målverket”. Metoden för att närma sig dessa svar är en textnära granskning genom teoretiska filter om adaption och remediering.  Den analys som uppsatsens undersökande del landar i konstaterar att romanen på goda grunder kan anses vara en remediering. Dessutom pekas det på skäl att betrakta exemplet som ett gott sådant för att använda i undervisning. Förtjänsterna ligger i hur synliga de form- och genrespecifika dragen kan synliggöras.
