   Author : Ulrika Serrander; Åke Viberg; Marianne Gullberg; Leah Roberts; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; The bilingual lexicon; Bilingualism; Tvåspråkighet; Linguistics; Lingvistik;

   Abstract : Bilingual speakers cannot suppress activation from their dominant language while naming pictures in a foreign and less dominant language. Previous research has revealed that this cross-langauge activation is manifested through phonological facilitation, semantic interference and between language competition. READ MORE

4. 17. Multilingual Students' Writing in English : The Role of Their L1(s)

   Author : Tina Gunnarsson; Språkinlärning; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Multilingualism; L2 Writing; language acquisition; Translanguaging; Language mode; English Linguistics;

   Abstract : This thesis focuses on the languages of thought of multilingual students writing in English, a non-native language.

   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; multilingualism; third language acquisition; lexical transfer; crosslinguistic influence; modal differences; proficiency; recency; exposure; psychotypology; L2 status; transferability; markedness; lexical organization; activation; lexical access; English; engelska;

   Abstract : The study reported in this thesis investigates the source language of lexical transfer in multilingual learners using a mixed methods approach. Previous research has shown that the source language of crosslinguistic influence can be related to factors such as proficiency, recency/exposure, psychotypology, the L2 status, and item-specific transferability.

   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; linear parameter-varying systems; linear matrix inequalities; h-inf control; gain scheduling; nonlinear L2 l2 control;

   Abstract : In recent years the interest for gain scheduling methods has increased. Gain scheduling is a collection of methods that try to tackle the challenging problem of nonlinear control in a divide and conquer manner. The use of local linear system theory to obtain a non-local controller is the fundament of the gain scheduling methods. READ MORE
