  2. 1. The Idiom Principle in L2 English : Assessing elusive formulaic sequences as indicators of idiomaticity, fluency, and proficiency

    Author : Margareta Lewis; Britt Erman; Nils-Lennart Johannesson; Sölve Ohlander; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; formulaic sequences; attempted formulaic sequences; learners; native speakers; idiomaticity; fluency; proficiency; open choice principle; idiom principle; English language; Engelska språket; English; engelska;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to explore and compare intermediate learners’ and native speakers’ usage of formulaic sequences, i.e. conventionalized and memorized combinations of lexis and/or grammar, here with a focus on written production of L2 English. READ MORE

  4. 2. Mechanistic Approach to Corrosion of Zirconium by Water - A First Principle Study

    Author : Mikaela Lindgren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; zirconium; hydrogen pick-up; corrosion; oxygen vacancy; DFT;

    Abstract : Zirconium and zirconium oxides are of major technological importance. There are broad applications for these materials, from fuel cell electrolyte to semiconductors and in hip-implants. In nuclear power plants, zirconium alloys are widely used as cladding material to contain the fission fuel in the reactor cores. READ MORE

  5. 3. Learning Idiomaticity : A Corpus-Based Study of Idiomatic Expressions in Learners' Written Production

    Author : Maria Wiktorsson; Engelska; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; corpus linguistics; idiom principle; open choice principle; construction grammar; compositionality; conventionalisation; idiom; formulae; collocation; prefab; Swedish learners of English; L2; Idiomaticity; L1; English language and literature; Engelska språk och litteratur ; Linguistics; Lingvistik;

    Abstract : The aim of this study is to investigate how Swedish learners of English (at different levels of proficiency) master idiomaticity in their target language. I argue that idiomaticity can be related to the storage and use of multi-word expressions that are preferred by native speakers. READ MORE

  6. 4. Aristotle on Contrariety as a Principle of First Philosophy

    Author : Jens Tomas Anfindsen; Lilli Alanen; Eyjólfur Kjalar Emilsson; Dominic J. O'Meara; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Philosophy; Ancient philosophy; Aristotle; contrariety; privation; metaphysics; ontology; theology; cosmology; being and non-being.; Filosofi; idé- och lärdomshistoria; History Of Sciences and Ideas;

    Abstract : This dissertation aims to reconstruct Aristotle’s theory of contrariety as a principle of first philosophy. According to Aristotle, any genus has one contrary opposition. It is the task of any science to study whatever contraries there are within the generic domain with which the science in question is concerned. READ MORE

  7. 5. Describing Interstitials in Close-packed Lattices: First-principles Study

    Author : Noura Al-Zoubi; Levente Vitos; Se Kyun Kwon; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Describing interstitial atoms in intermetallics or simple mono-atomic close-packed metals is a straightforward procedure in common full-potential calculations. One establishes a sufficiently large supercell, introduces the interstitial impurity and performs the electronic structure and total energy calculation. READ MORE
