5. 19. Brain anatomical correlates of perceptual phonological proficiency and language learning aptitude

   Författare :Mikael Novén; Allmän språkvetenskap; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Prosody; word accent; MRI; language learning aptitude; cortical morphometry; diffusion kurtosis imaging;

   Sammanfattning : The present dissertation concerns how brain tissue properties reflect proficiency in two aspects of language use: the ability to use tonal cues on word stems to predict how words will end and the aptitude for learning foreign languages. While it is known that people differ in their language abilities and that damage to brain tissue cause loss of cognitive functions, it is largely unknown if differences in language proficiencies correlate with differences in brain structure.

7. 20. Motivación, aptitud y desarrollo estructural : Un estudio sobre la actuación lingüística en aprendientes suecos de español L2

   Författare :Rakel Österberg; Lars Fant; Inge Bartning; Carmen Muñoz; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Analytic ability; accuracy; aptitude; development; individual differences; intrinsic and extrinsic motivation; lexical richness; proficiency; second language acquisition; spoken Spanish performance; syntactic complexity; self-regulation theory; Spanish language; Spanska språket; Spanish; spanska;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of the present study is to examine how the development of syntactic complexity and accuracy in spoken Spanish L2 is related to two parameters, motivation and aptitude, in which individual differences are often claimed to correlate with successful second language learning (Dörnyei and Skehan 2003). The study shows how an understanding of the relationship between progression in second language proficiency and motivation is gained through the study of longitudinal data and the assessment of motivation in discourse.
