  2. 1. Functional Polytypic Programming

    Author : Patrik Jansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; algebraic datatypes; functional programming; programming languages; polytypic programming; generic programming;

    Abstract : Many algorithms have to be implemented over and over again for different datatypes, either because datatypes change during the development of programs, or because the same algorithm is used for several datatypes. Examples of such algorithms are equality tests, pretty printers, and pattern matchers, and polytypic programming is a paradigm for expressing such algorithms. READ MORE

  4. 2. Language policy and Sámi education in Sweden : ideological and implementational spaces for Sámi language use

    Author : Kristina Belancic; Eva Lindgren; Patrik Lantto; Ylva Jannok Nutti; Hilde Sollid; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Sámi language use; Sámi Indigenous education; implementational and ideological spaces; Swedish Sápmi; language teaching and learning; språkdidaktik;

    Abstract : In Sámi schools in Sweden, the use of the Sámi languages and Swedish as languages of instruction is regulated by government and education policy; legislation allows Sámi and Swedish to be used for teaching and learning. However, agency and personal beliefs about Sámi languages play important roles in language use. READ MORE

  5. 3. 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.

  6. 4. The building blocks of sound symbolism

    Author : Niklas Erben Johansson; Allmän språkvetenskap; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; sound symbolism; Iconicity; typology; language evolution; lexicon;

    Abstract : Languages contain thousands of words each and are made up by a seemingly endless collection of sound combinations. Yet a subsection of these show clear signs of corresponding word shapes for the same meanings which is generally known as vocal iconicity and sound symbolism. READ MORE

  7. 5. Functional communication and non-linguistic factors in severe aphasia : Associations and assessment

    Author : Camilla Olsson; Monica Blom Johansson; Patrik Arvidsson; Åsa Wengelin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Aphasia; stroke; functional communication; executive function; self-efficacy; resilience; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : Severe post-stroke aphasia implies impairment of the ability to speak and write, and impairments of language comprehension, severely restricting the communication of the individual. Intervention in severe aphasia often entails aiming for access to meaningful social interaction and participation, in spite of the linguistic impairments. READ MORE
