Abstract:

This study investigates how Finnish-speaking researchers at the University of Oulu cooperate with language editors in writing scientific articles in English. There is not enough awareness of the different aspects and benefits of this kind of cooperation, despite the fact that for researchers writing for scientific journals is an important part of their work. This thesis is a case study. There was no empirical research about the cooperation between researchers and language editors during the writing process of scientific articles before this study.

Abstract:

One aspect of the English language which has been overlooked by English-as-a-Second-Language educators is the article system, a, the, and 0. For students from articleless first languages such as Japanese, learning this complex system is a formidable challenge. Performance studies show an error rate among advanced Japanese students of approximately thirty percent. There may be several reasons for this high rate: 1) the differences between Japanese and English, 2) the unusually high degree of complexity/difficulty of the article system itself compared to other English morpheme systems and 3) ina

The thesis examines the scope of the right to respect for one's private life, family life, home and correspondence as set out in Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). It does so with reference 16 both the admissibility and merits decisions and judgments from the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). It thus shows not only the range of interests that Article 8 covers in the light of the main ECHR principles of proportionality, margin of appreciation or that of living instrument, but also the interests and rights that fall outside Article 8's ambit.

Abstract:

Article errors are widely documented amongst L2 learners of English, and instruction rarely leads to improved accuracy (Snape and Yusa, 2013). Generative SLA research has demonstrated an effect of specificity for learners whose L1s do not have articles. Much of this research has tested Ionin’s Fluctuation Hypothesis (2003), which predicts that learners will overuse 'the' with indefinite specifics and 'a' with definite non-specifics. Currently, specificity is not taught to learners of English. This study investigates the effect of delivering such instruction. Three groups of low-intermediate L1

Abstract:

It is widely reported that second language (L2) speakers of English diverge from native speakers in their use of articles (the, a, 0) in two ways: they omit articles where they are required, and they assign interpretations to articles that are not those assigned by native speakers (Huebner, 1985; Ionin et al., 2004; Lardiere, 2004; 2005; Parrish, 1987; Robertson, 2000; Thomas, 1989; White, 2003a).

Abstract:

The acquisition of the English article system by speakers of article-less first languages (L1s) has been the subject of considerable research.

Abstract:

The English article system is extremely complex because of its conceptual abstractness and context-dependent usage. For these specific features, some second language learners (e.g., Japanese) find article acquisition to be very difficult. Traditionally, the definite article the is thought to express exclusively the referential function of "identifiability", that is, the is there to identify or pick out the referent so the hearer can identify what is being discussed (Lyons, 1999). This view has been widely accepted and has served as the foundation of research as well as for pedagogical orientat

One well known exception in French law, which derives from Roman law, is Article 1674 of the Code civil which allows a vendor to rescind a contract for the sale of land if the price agreed in the contract is less than five-twelfths of the fair price.

Abstract:

Mastering the English Article system is a long tern challenge for L2 learners. The difficulty originates from the fact that appropriate usage requires stacking multiple functions into limited forms, the numerous exceptions to the rules and the mismatch between the grammatical criteria of countability and number that determine the appropriate supply of the indefinite article and the lexical-pragmatic values on which definiteness depends. In addition, differences between the first and target languages can also cause problems even for advanced learners. We investigated the use of English articles
