2. 1. Age and Constraints on Language Learning : First Language Retention and Second Language Acquisition in International Adoptees

   Author : Gunnar Norrman; Emanuel Bylund Spångberg; Guillaume Thierry; Janet Werker; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; bilingualism; critical period; electroencephalography; event-related potentials; first language retention; international adoption; phonology; second language acquisition; Bilingualism; tvåspråkighet;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates the influence of age of acquisition on the long-term second language development of international adoptees. Because age of acquisition typically coincides with the onset of bilingualism, the study of maturational age effects in second language acquisition has been empirically and conceptually entangled with changes in language input and use.

4. 2. Interaction and Language Assessment in Aphasia and Dementia : A Comparative Perspective

   Author : Karin Myrberg; Christina Samuelsson; Lars-Christer Hydén; Heidi Hamilton; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Aphasia; Dementia; Assessment; Testing; Interaction; Language; Cognition;

   Abstract : Language problems in dementia resemble the symptoms of aphasia in many respects. A growing body of research discusses the cognitive deficits associated with aphasia. Despite common denominators, very little is written with a comparative perspective on the two clinical groups. READ MORE

6. 4. Cross-language Ontology Learning : Incorporating and Exploiting Cross-language Data in the Ontology Learning Process

   Author : Hans Hjelm; Martin Volk; Joakim Nivre; Philipp Cimiano; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ontologies; Ontology learning; Distributional semantics; Knowledge acquisition; Text mining; Computational linguistics; Datorlingvistik; datorlingvistik; Computational Linguistics;

   Abstract : An ontology is a knowledge-representation structure, where words, terms or concepts are defined by their mutual hierarchical relations. Ontologies are becoming ever more prevalent in the world of natural language processing, where we currently see a tendency towards using semantics for solving a variety of tasks, particularly tasks related to information access.

7. 5. Mind your Language, All Right? Performance-dependent neural patterns of language

   Author : Helene van Ettinger-Veenstra; Maria Engström; Peter Lundberg; Thomas Karlsson; Anita McAllister; Karsten Specht; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Language ability; performance; fMRI; functional magnetic resonance imaging; Broca; Wernicke; temporal lobe; inferior frontal gyrus; reading; fluency; lateralization; lateralisation; right hemisphere; performance-dependent; neural activation;

   Abstract : The main aim of this dissertation was to investigate the difference in neural language patternsrelated to language ability in healthy adults. The focus lies on unraveling the contributions of theright‐hemispheric homologues to Broca’s area in the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) and Wernicke’s areain the posterior temporal and inferior parietal lobes.
