  1. 11. English Colour Terms in Context

    Författare :Anders Steinvall; Gunnar Persson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; English language; basic colour terms; elaborate colour terms; cognitive linguistics; metonymy; domain; context; markedness; figurative meaning; type modification; classifying function; vantage; reference point; attribute; entrenchment; radial category; corpus; English language; Engelska språket; engelska; English;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis examines usage of English colour terms in context, based on an extensive computerised text corpus, the Bank of English. It describes the ways in which English colour terms may be used to refer to nuances outside their normal area of designation and to attributes outside the colour domain. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Adverbs : A typological study of a disputed category

    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; adverbs; adjectives; parts of speech; prototypes; categorization; modification; constructions; Linguistics; lingvistik;

    Sammanfattning : The notion adverb is often treated as encompassing leftover items in a class that shows little consistency both within and ​across languages. Adverbs are less frequent than other parts of speech cross-linguistically, they seldom inflect, and they are rarely used as a source for derivation to other categories. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Regulation of neurotrophic signaling molecules in motor neurons, primary sensory neurons and target tissues in senescence

    Författare :Yu Ming; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Aging; dorsal root ganglion; spinal cord; muscle; neurotrophins; GFRalpha; Ret; FGF-2; gp 130; CNTF; LIF; IL-6; receptors; protein; mRNA; glia; axon dystrophy; demyelination.;

    Sammanfattning : A hallmark of senescence is sensorimotor impairment, characterized by gait disturbance, deficits in postural control, and muscle weakness. The object of this thesis work was to elucidate some of the molecular basis underlying these disturbances, mainly referring to the occurrence of characteristic changes in gene-expression pattern, especially, alterations in trophic signaling associated with the phenotypic changes seen in motoneurons as well as primary sensory neurons and target muscles during aging.

  5. 14. Creating a new heart : Marcus Ehrenpreis on jewry and judaism

    Författare :Stephen Fruitman; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Jewish culture; modernity; literature; history; universalism versus particularism; nationalism; intellectual history;

    Sammanfattning : This dissertation represents the first attempt to take account of the entire Swedish œuvre of Marcus Ehrenpreis and view it as a single, coherent statement, recognizing the very fundamental confrontation taking place between tradi­tional and modern ways of viewing reality and its possible resolution. A reading of his work reveals that the one constant in his life in letters was the struggle to reconcile the apparent logical antithesis of universalism and particu­larism, which this dissertation sees as one with resonance for all ethnic minorities.
