   Sammanfattning : The present study deals with the linguistic situation in the Aosta Valley, which is situated in Northern Italy. Several languages, dialects as well as "patois" are used in this area and this thesis concerns three of them, namely Francoprovençal, French and Italian. Francoprovençal used to be the language of the people but is now decreasing. LÄS MER

3. 12. Word Representations for Emergent Communication and Natural Language Processing

   Författare :Mikael Kågebäck; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Extractive summarisation; Emergent communication; Deep reinforcement learning; Natural language processing; Word Representations; Deep learning; Machine learning; Artificial neural networks;

   Sammanfattning : The task of listing all semantic properties of a single word might seem manageable at first but as you unravel all the context dependent subtle variations in meaning that a word can encompass, you soon realize that precise mathematical definition of a word’s semantics is extremely difficult. In analogy, humans have no problem identifying their favorite pet in an image but the task of precisely defining how, is still beyond our capabilities. LÄS MER

4. 13. Expresiones de movimiento en español como segunda lengua y como lengua heredada : Conceptualización y entrega del Camino, la Manera y la Base

   Författare :Alejandra Donoso; Lars Fant; Niclas Abrahamsson; Johan Pedersen; Susana Silvia Fernandez; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; conceptualization; lexicalization patterns; motion events; Path; Manner; Ground; grammatical aspect; second language acquisition; bilingualism; Spanish as a second language; Spanish as a heritage language; Conceptualización; patrones de lexicalización; eventos de movimiento; Camino; Manera; Base; aspecto gramaticalizado; adquisición de segundas lenguas; bilingüismo; español como segunda lengua; español como lengua heredada; español L1; sueco L1; español L2; Spanish; spanska;

   Sammanfattning : The current thesis is based on four individual studies which aim to account for the expression of motion events (ME) in Spanish and Swedish as first languages (L1), in Swedish as a second language (L2), and in Spanish as a heritage language (SHL). The data, resulting from audio-recordings of different sorts of stimuli, have been analyzed with special focus on (1) the most common structures used for referring to various types of ME, (2) the types and amount of information provided by the participants, in particular as regards the semantic components Path, Manner and Ground, and (3) grammatical aspect and types of syntactic structures resorted to, including the correlation between the two latter factors and speakers’ discursive preferences.

5. 14. Deictic Demonstratives in Japanese, Finnish and Swedish : First and Third Language Perspectives

   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Japanese; Finnish; Swedish; spatial-deictically used demonstratives; interlanguage; third-language learning; Japanology; japanologi;

   Sammanfattning : The goal of this thesis is twofold. Firstly, it investigates the actual, native use of spatial-deictic demonstratives in Japanese, Finnish and Swedish. LÄS MER

7. 15. Teaching mobile robots to use spatial words

   Författare :Simon Dobnik; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; situated interaction; spatial descriptions; language and perception; perceptual grounding; dialogue; natural language semantics; machine learning;

   Sammanfattning : The meaning of spatial words can only be evaluated by establishing a reference to the properties of the environment in which the word is used. For example, in order to evaluate what is to the left of something or how fast is fast in a given context, we need to evaluate properties such as the position of objects in the scene, their typical function and behaviour, the size of the scene and the perspective from which the scene is viewed.
