2. 1. MaltParser -- An Architecture for Inductive Labeled Dependency Parsing

   Author : Johan Hall; Joakim Nivre; Welf Löwe; Martin Volk; Växjö universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dependency Parsing; Support Vector Machines; Machine Learning; Language technology; Språkteknologi; Computer and Information Sciences Computer Science; Data- och informationsvetenskap;

   Abstract : This licentiate thesis presents a software architecture for inductive labeled dependency parsing of unrestricted natural language text, which achieves a strict modularization of parsing algorithm, feature model and learning method such that these parameters can be varied independently. The architecture is based on the theoretical framework of inductive dependency parsing by Nivre \citeyear{nivre06c} and has been realized in MaltParser, a system that supports several parsing algorithms and learning methods, for which complex feature models can be defined in a special description language.

5. 3. Writing with an Attitude : Appraisal and student texts in the school subject of Swedish

   Author : Jenny W. Folkeryd; Caroline Liberg; Åke Viberg; Fröydis Herzberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Linguistics; text linguistics; reader text relationship; systemic linguistics; appraisal theory; literacy education; written language; applied linguistics; Lingvistik; Linguistics; lingvistik;

   Abstract : Learning in school is in many respects done through language. However, it has been shown that the language of school assignments is seldom explicitly discussed in school. Writing tasks are furthermore assigned without clear guidelines for how certain lexical choices make one text more powerful than another. READ MORE

6. 4. Engagement in Medical Research Discourse: A Multisemiotic Discourse-Semantic Study of Dialogic Positioning

   Author : Daniel Lees Fryer; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; engagement; medical research discourse; social semiotics; systemic functional linguistics; dialogic theory; linguistics; semiosis; multisemiosis; multimodality; intersemiosis; intermodality; corpus linguistics; genre; disciplinarity; ideology;

   Abstract : This study investigates how medical researchers engage with a background of prior and anticipated utterances in a collection of highly cited English-language medical research articles. Taking a multisemiotic, systemic-functional approach, I examine the verbal, visual, and mathematical resources used by medical research writers to construe, engage with, and position themselves in relation to a dialogic background of different voices, positions, and propositions.

7. 5. Knowledge predication : A semantic typology

   Author : Anna Sjöberg; Bernhard Wälchli; Maria Koptjevskaja-Tamm; Volker Gast; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; semantic typology; constructional typology; semantic maps; knowledge; epistemology; parallel texts; language sampling; token-based typology; cognitive semantics; Linguistics; lingvistik;

   Abstract : The present thesis is an investigation of the cross-linguistic expression of knowledge predication (‘He knows that it’s raining’, ‘she knows the boy’ etc.) Knowledge predication is investigated in parallel texts—specifically New Testament translations—in a genealogically and areally stratified variety sample of 83 languages.
