    Sammanfattning : The present dissertation investigates how beginner learners process grammatical tone in a second language and whether their processing is influenced by phonological transfer. Paper I focuses on the acquisition of Swedish grammatical tone by beginner learners from a non-tonal language, German. LÄS MER

  2. 2. Unsupervised Learning of Morphology: Survey, Model, Algorithm and Experiments

    Författare :Harald Hammarström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis contains work on a specific problem in field of Language Technology. The problem can be described as follows: "Can a computer extract a description of word conjugation in a natural language using only written text in the language?" The problem is often referred to as Unsupervised Learning of Morphology (ULM) and has a wide variety of Language Technology applications, including Machine Translation, Document Categorization and I nformation Retrieval.

  3. 3. Developmental Perspectives on Transfer in Third Language Acquisition

    Författare :Susan Sayehli; Allmän språkvetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Third language acquisition; second language acquisition; transfer; developmental stages; elicited imitation; syntax; morphology; psychotypology; cross-linguistic influence;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to examine how learner-general developmental stages in syntax and morphology interact with a language-specific factor, the influence of—or transfer from— the language learner’s first (L1) or previously learned second (L2) language on the acquisition of a third language (L3). It thereby aims to bring together two lines of research whose main concepts—transfer and developmental stages—have often been defined as mutually exclusive and generally studied in separate lines of research.

  4. 4. Second Language Acquisition of Mandarin Aspect Markers by Native Swedish Adults

    Författare :Luying Wang; Åke Viberg; Gisela Håkanson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Second language acquisition; Mandarin; Swedish; aspect-tense morphology; aspect marker; grammatical aspect; lexical aspect; acquisition order; the Aspect Hypothesis; the Distributional Bias Hypothesis; the Prototype Model;

    Sammanfattning : This experimental study investigates the second language acquisition of the four Mandarin aspect markers -le, -guo, -zhe, and zai- by native Swedish university students enrolled in Chinese language courses in Sweden. The main points of inquiry are acquisition order, the Aspect Hypothesis, the Distributional Bias Hypothesis, and the Prototype Model. LÄS MER

  5. 5. Kommer finskan i Sverige att fortleva? : en studie av språkkunskaper och språkanvändning hos andragenerationens sverigefinnar i Botkyrka och hos finlandssvenskar i Åbo

    Författare :Pirjo Janulf; Anna-Leena Østern; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; minority language; bilingualism; language use; Finnish in Sweden; bilingual education; biliteracy; Finnish language; Finska språket; Finnish; finska;

    Sammanfattning : This dissertation is the result of studies concerning the prerequisites for Finnish to survive in contemporary Sweden. When the Sweden Finnish parents want instruction in Finnish for their children the only choice available in Swedish municipal schools is between two language programs: one giving instruction in Swedish classes with 1-2 hours of home language training in Finnish per week, and the other giving instruction in and of Finnish in Finnish classes.
