4. 23. Exploring childhood apraxia of speech : speech and language profiles in 5-year-olds with suspected apraxia of speech or cleft palate

   Författare :Ann Malmenholt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []

5. 24. Relativizing linguistic relativity : Investigating underlying assumptions about language in the neo-Whorfian literature

   Författare :Ingrid Björk; Åke Viberg; Pär Segerdahl; Talbot J. Taylor; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Linguistics; Linguistic relativity hypothesis; Sapir-Whorf hypothesis; Language and thought; Neo-Whorfianism; Lingvistik; Linguistics; lingvistik;

   Sammanfattning : This work concerns the linguistic relativity hypothesis, also known as the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, which, in its most general form claims that ‘lan-guage’ influences ‘thought’. Past studies into linguistic relativity have treated various aspects of both thought and language, but a growing body of literature has recently emerged, in this thesis referred to as neo-Whorfian, that empirically investigates thought and language from a cross-linguistic perspective and claims that the grammar or lexicon of a particular language influences the speakers’ non-linguistic thought.

7. 25. Situated Embodiment : Studies in the emergence of spatial meaning

   Författare :Jordan Zlatev; Chris Sinha; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Languages and linguistics; Språkvetenskap; General Linguistics; allmän språkvetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : What does it mean to know a language? How do children acquire language, seemingly spontaneously? How is intersubjective linguistic meaning made possible? How are people able to understand utterances which they have not heard before? General questions such as these are of primal concern for modem theoretical linguistics. At the same time the dominant theoretical approach to answering them, generativism, has given rise to persistent anomalies and confusions. LÄS MER
