  2. 1. Relativizing linguistic relativity : Investigating underlying assumptions about language in the neo-Whorfian literature

    Author : Ingrid Björk; Åke Viberg; Pär Segerdahl; Talbot J. Taylor; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Linguistics; Linguistic relativity hypothesis; Sapir-Whorf hypothesis; Language and thought; Neo-Whorfianism; Lingvistik; Linguistics; lingvistik;

    Abstract : This work concerns the linguistic relativity hypothesis, also known as the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, which, in its most general form claims that ‘lan-guage’ influences ‘thought’. Past studies into linguistic relativity have treated various aspects of both thought and language, but a growing body of literature has recently emerged, in this thesis referred to as neo-Whorfian, that empirically investigates thought and language from a cross-linguistic perspective and claims that the grammar or lexicon of a particular language influences the speakers’ non-linguistic thought.

  6. 4. Candidate genes and the dopamine system : possible implications in complex neurological and psychiatric disease

    Author : Silvia Buervenich; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Genetic; linkage; association; dopamine; Parkinsons disease; schizophrenia; bipolar disease; retinoid; aldehyde; toxicity.;

    Abstract : The mesencephalic dopamine (DA) system is strongly involved in the pathogenesis of Parkinsons disease (PD), where symptoms occur after the loss of the vast majority of DA neurons. An involvement of this system also in schizophrenia (SZ) and bipolar disease (BD) is suggested by the fact that DA receptor antagonists are among the most potent drugs in clinical use for the treatment of these conditions.
