    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.

  3. 7. Sound for Multisensory Motion Simulators

    Författare :Alexander Väljamäe; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; auditory scene synthesis; spatial audio; presence; virtual reality; cognitive acoustics; illusory self-motion; vection ; multisensory optimization;

    Sammanfattning : Interaction in a virtual reality environment often implies situations of illusory self-motion, like, for example, in flight or driving scenarios. Striving for pictorial realism, currently available motion simulators often exhibit relatively poor sound design. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Verbs of Motion with Directional Prepositions and Prefixes in Xenophon's Anabasis

  5. 9. Small-scale multilingualism and language contact in egalitarian foragers

    Författare :Joanne Yager; Allmän språkvetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; small-scale multilingualism; egalitarian language contact; egalitarian bilingualism; bilingual semantic interaction; crosslinguistic influence; lexical convergence; bilingual optimization strategies; Aslian; Austroasiatic; Jedek; Jahai; foragers; undiscovered languages; topological relations; caused motion events; reciprocal events; phylogenetic networks; small-scale multilingualism; egalitarian language contact; egalitarian bilingualism; bilingual semantic interaction; crosslinguistic influence; lexical convergence; bilingual optimization strategies; Aslian; Austroasiatic; Jedek; Jahai; foragers; undiscovered languages; topological relations; caused motion events; reciprocal events; phylogenetic networks;

    Sammanfattning : Situations of multilingualism and language contact in which language varieties are small in scale and relatively equal in social status are important phenomena affecting processes of language change throughout human history. Despite this, our knowledge about the outcomes of multilingualism and language contact in this kind of setting remains limited. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Safety for Children in Cars – Focus on Three Point Seatbelts in Emergency Events

    Författare :Isabelle Stockman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Steering; Crash test dummies; Run-off road; Child restraint systems; Child safety; Emergency events; Braking; Pre-pretensioners;

    Sammanfattning : Child safety in vehicles has improved over time. One of the main factors is due to the increased restraint use by children. Nevertheless, studies show that although children are restrained, injuries still occur indicating that restraint systems have the potential for further improvement. LÄS MER
