    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Code switching; Kreol Seselwa Seychelles Creole ; L2 Medium of Instruction; Post Colonialism; Language Policy; Translanguaging; Bilingualism; Multilingualism; language studies; språkvetenskap;

    Abstract : Many studies have shown that Second Language (L2) Medium of Instruction (MoI) policies in Africa are linked to educational inequity, substandard teaching practice, low literacy skills and poor overall academic performance. In the light of this background, this thesis aims to make a more thorough inquiry into questions related to language-in-education policies, L2 as MoI, and academic success in the Seychelles, a small island nation in the Indian Ocean.

  4. 7. Clustering in Swedish : The Impact of some Properties of the Swedish Language on Document Clustering and an Evaluation Method

    Author : Magnus Rosell; Viggo Kann; Björn Levin; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Document Clustering; Language technology; Språkteknologi;

    Abstract : Text clustering divides a set of texts into groups, so that texts within each group are similar in content. It may be used to uncover the structure and content of unknown text sets as well as to give new perspectives on known ones. READ MORE

    Author : Herbert Lange; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Latin; Latin syntax; Latin morphology; Grammar engineering; Grammar testing; Corpus-based evaluation; Computer-assisted language learning; Grammar learning; Constraint satisfaction; Constraint optimization;

    Abstract : This thesis describes work in three areas: grammar engineering, computer-assisted language learning and grammar learning.

    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; language technology; natural language processing; distributional models; semantic representations; distributed representations; word senses; embeddings; word sense disambiguation; linguistic resources; corpus; lexicon; machine learning; neural networks;

    Abstract : The representation of written language semantics is a central problem of language technology and a crucial component of many natural language processing applications, from part-of-speech tagging to text summarization. These representations of linguistic units, such as words or sentences, allow computer applications that work with language to process and manipulate the meaning of text. READ MORE
