   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. 12. The dynamics of second language learning : a longitudinal and qualitative study of an adult's learning of Swedish

   Författare :Nils Granberg; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; second language learning; second language acquisition; individual differences; attitude; motivation; learning strategies; communication strategies; identity; liminality; case study; Grounded Theory; hermeneutic; qualitative; holistic; longitudinal; Swedish;

   Sammanfattning : An often discussed issue in the field of second language learning is the influence and importance of individual differences, IDs, such as motivation, personality, previous learning experiences and learning strategies. It has been claimed that IDs form a complex system in the learner, but little consensus has been reached as regards definitions of constructs or their relative importance. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : One phenomenon causing issues for language learners in the form of cross-linguistic influence (CLI) is translation ambiguity (Eddington & Tokowicz, 2013). Translation ambiguity refers to a situation where word meanings are different in a speaker’s languages. LÄS MER

7. 15. The language learning infant: Effects of speech input, vocal output, and feedback

   Författare :Lisa Gustavsson; Francisco Lacerda; Roger Moore; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; human; language; language acquisition; perception; production; humanoid; development; model; embodied system; speech signal processing; vocal tract morphology; acoustic; speech input; information processing; scaling; interaction; growth; infant; imitation; feedback; perceptual salience; modeling; Phonetics; Fonetik; Phonetics; fonetik;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis studies the characteristics of the acoustic signal in speech, especially in speech directed to infants and in infant vocal development, to gain insight on essential aspects of speech processing, speech production and communicative interaction in early language acquisition. Three sets of experimental studies are presented in this thesis. LÄS MER
