2. 16. The Subtitling of Discourse Particles. A corpus-based study of well, you know, I mean, and like, and their Swedish translations in ten American films

   Author : Jenny Mattsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; subtitling; discourse particles; English Swedish; cross-theoretical study; multimodal corpus; American films; different subtitling versions; pragmatic multifunctionality; translatability;

   Abstract : The aim of the present study is to investigate the four discourse particles (DPs) well, you know, I mean, and like, and their Swedish subtitle translations. This is done in order to see to what extent it is possible to translate these elusive words and expressions in subtitling, which is a greatly constrained form of translation. READ MORE

4. 17. Numerical Techniques for Acoustic Modelling and Design of Brass Wind Instruments

   Author : Daniel Noreland; Bertil Gustafsson; Leif Abrahamsson; Björn Sjögreen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Acoustic horn; brass wind instrument; loudspeaker; optimization; hybrid method; Numerical Analysis; Numerisk analys;

   Abstract : Acoustic horns are used in musical instruments and loudspeakers in order to provide an impedance match between an acoustic source and the surrounding air. The aim of this study is to develop numerical tools for the analysis and optimisation of such horns, with respect to their input impedance spectra. READ MORE

5. 18. Swedish School-leaving Students' Oral Proficiency in English : Grading of Production and Analysis of Performance

   Author : Stellan Sundh; Merja Kytö; Torsten Lindblad; Sauli Takala; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Linguistics; second language learning; oral testing; rating criteria; oral proficiency; grading spoken English; student production; validity; reliability; 19-year-old Swedish learners; Lingvistik; Linguistics; Lingvistik; English; Engelska;

   Abstract : This study deals with the testing and grading of Swedish school leaving students’ oral proficiency in English, and with certain aspects of these students’ linguistic competence. The analyses and results are based on material drawn from an assessment project carried out at Gothenburg University in 1993. READ MORE

6. 19. Shape Optimization for Acoustic Wave Propagation Problems

   Author : Rajitha Udawalpola; Martin Berggren; Pekka Neittaanmäki; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; shape optimization; design optimization; acoustic wave propagation; Helmholtz equation; Boundary Element Method; Finite Element Method; inverse problems; adjoint method; gradient-based optimization; Scientific Computing; Beräkningsvetenskap;

   Abstract : Boundary shape optimization is a technique to search for an optimal shape by modifying the boundary of a device with a pre-specified topology. We consider boundary shape optimization of acoustic horns in loudspeakers and brass wind instruments. READ MORE

7. 20. The acquisition of nominal compounding in Swedish

   Author : Ingmarie Mellenius; Allmän språkvetenskap; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; nominal compounds; modifier; head; liaison form; language acquisition; conceptual combination; compounding; word formation; Swedish; child language; Linguistics; Lingvistik;

   Abstract : In Swedish, as in other North Germanic languages, compounds are very common and a majority of the novel words in Swedish are compounds. This thesis aims at a presentation of compounding in Swedish and the problems involved in describing compounding, but mainly at an empirically founded description of children's creation and use of novel compounds and developing comprehension of compounds, especially nominal compounds.
