    Författare :Anna Ståhl; RISE; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : In our daily lives we communicate emotions not only in face-to-face situations, but also in the digital world. When communicating emotions to other people we are not always aware of exactly what we are expressing. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Sparsamkeit und Geiz, Grosszügigkeit und Verschwendung : ethische Konzepte im Spiegel der Sprache

    Författare :Anita Malmqvist; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Semantic analysis; semantic field; ethical concept; cognitive semantics; variation; expressivity; semantic change; contrastive corpus analysis; frequency; metaphorical concept; métonymie concept;

    Sammanfattning : The object of this study is to analyse the lexemes and phraseological units that constitute the semantic fields employed in naming four abstract domains, greed, thrift, generosity, and extra­vagance that make up the ethical concept in German. On the assump­tion that ideas are accessible to us through the lexicalised items of a language, recent theories in the field of semantic analysis and conceptualisation were applied to the source material.

  5. 4. Expressivity and Complexity of the Grammatical Framework

    Författare :Peter Ljunglöf; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Grammatical Framework; generalized context-free grammar; multiple context-free grammar; context-free rewriting systems; type theory; expressive power; abstract syntax; linearization; parsing; context-free rewriting systems;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates the expressive power and parsing complexity of the Grammatical Framework (GF), a formalism originally designed for displaying formal propositions and proofs in natural language. This is done by relating GF with two more well-known grammar formalisms; Generalized Context-Free Grammar (GCFG), best seen as a framework for describing various grammar formalisms; and Parallel Multiple Context-Free Grammar (PMCFG), an instance of GCFG.
