Abstract:

The goal of this study is to confirm Eurasia as an independent linguistic area with respect to four features of possessive morphology: locus of marking, position of pronominal possessive affixes, obligatory possessive inflection, and possessive classification. Raw data on these features was taken from the WALS database and then run through an algorithm of genealogical stratification called g-sampling, in order to minimize the bias of the sample. The resulting g-units were then categorized by type and geographical area (New World vs. Old World, Eurasia vs. the rest of the world). These counts w

Abstract:

This thesis provides a first large-scale typological study on the phenomenon known as pluractionality in cross-linguistic perspective (sample of 241 languages). The aim of this work is to investigate how the languages of the World express pluractionality (i.e., plurality of situations marked on the verb) giving a complete account of the functional domain and morpho-syntax of this phenomenon adopting a functional-typological approach.

This semantic typology study investigates the intentionality of causation event descriptions of ten native British English speakers (NBES) and ten native Castilian Spanish speakers (NCSS). Through a methodology that implements a picture story as non-verbal stimuli and verbal event descriptions, statistical data are gathered on the form and function of the participants’ descriptions. Inferred and inscribed characteristics of constructions are collected through a description task, a narration task, and a post-task interview.

Abstract:

Compounding in the world’s languages is a complex word-‐formation process that is not easily accounted for. Moreover, incorporation is equally complex and problematic. This examination of compounding and incorporation in the Ket language seeks to identify the underlying logic of these processes and to work towards a typology that captures generalizations among the numerous ways in which languages expand their lexicons through these processes. Canonical Typology provides a framework that does just this. A preliminary canonical typology of compounds is proposed here, one that subsumes a range o

Abstract:

This study investigates the cross-linguistic encoding of bad and evil expressions. Using parallel data from the Bible corpus consisting of translations of the New Testament into 30 languages, probabilistic semantic maps have been created using Multi-Dimensional scaling. Special attention has been paid to the presence of morphological and syntactic negation withinthe domain. The results show that languages either have one broader expression that is used within the entire domain, or they have at least two expressions of which one is broader, i.e. expresses a bad state, action or character flaw,

Drawing data from a variety of sources, this thesis compares functional evidence regarding lexical categories from a number of Salish and Wakashan languages, as well as from the Michif language. It then applies Prototype Theory to examine the structure of the lexicons of these languages. They are described in terms of prototype categories that overlap to varying extents, with each category and each area of overlap defined by a central set of prototypical features. A high degree of gradience appears to exist between categories in Salish and Wakashan languages, with no clear boundary between cat

Abstract:

This study primarily investigates the expression of two local roles, goal and source, in South American languages. Local roles describe the direction of movement or locatedness in relation to a physical object, a ground, in a motion event. While goal expresses motion to or towards and source expresses motion from a ground, these are not always distinguished from one another but sometimes encoded indifferently. A previous cross-linguistic study by Wälchli and Zúñiga (2006) shows that the encoding of goal and source tends to be distinct in Eurasia, North Africa, and Australia, and more diverse i

In the first part of the thesis, I show how Bayesian alignment models estimated with Gibbs sampling are more accurate than previous methods for a range of different languages, particularly for languages with few digital resources available—which is unfortuna

The temptation to do so arises from equivocation regarding the term Language as used within different generative paradigms

In the Norwegian case, the claim is that simplificatory changes which affected all of the Continental North Germanic languages (Danish, Swedish, Norwegian) but not the Insular North Germanic Languages were the result of contact with Middle Low German thro

This begins from the first verse and the declaration that Jesus is the Son of David, and culminates in Jesus' usage of Psalm 22's Davidic lament on the cross. The incipit and genealogy predisposes the reader to look for interaction with the Davidic tradition. Matthew's Davidic program utilizes throughout the narrative formal

Abstract:

Barn och elever som inte utvecklar det svenska språket som förväntat utreds med olika språktester. I denna studie undersöker jag ett vanligt förekommande testmaterial, som används för att kartlägga barns och elevers språkutveckling. Flerspråkiga elever som har språkliga svårigheter måste visa svårigheter på samtliga sina språk för att kunna diagnostiseras med språkstörning eller med läs- och skrivsvårigheter. Eleverna testas med bland andra Trog-2, ett språktest för bedömning av receptiva grammatiska färdigheter, men som inte är normerat för flerspråkiga elever. Syftet med studien är att under

Abstract:

The central aim of this thesis is to investigate focus constructions in Basque, a language whose word order exhibits a great degree of freedom, heavily affected by the informational values of its constructions. Focalized phrases can surface in any position of the sentence, but, according to most of the previous literature (e.g. Laka 1990; Elordieta 2001), they necessarily appear left-adjacent to the verbal complex [prt + aux]. However, a number of different structures in which this condition is not met can be found (Ortiz De Urbina 2002; Iruntzun 2005) and thus, the investigation of focus typ

Abstract:

This thesis is about whether language affects thinking. It deals with the linguistic relativity hypothesis, which proposes that the language we speak influences the way we think. This hypothesis is investigated in the domain of caused motion (e.g., ‘The man rolled the tyre into the garage’), by looking at Spanish and Swedish, two languages that show striking differences in how motion events are encoded. The thesis consists of four studies. The first two focus on native speakers of Spanish and Swedish. Study I compares how Spanish and Swedish speakers describe the same set of caused motion even

Abstract In my study I have taken a contrastive look at Finnish and Estonian inflectional morphology as evidenced in their literary forms. In its perspective the present study differs from the contrastive linguistic research as it is commonly practiced in Finland, in which the objects of research have usually been the relations between Finnish and a morphologically poorer Indo-European language. The languages now in comparison are both morphologically rich languages, viz., Finnish and Estonian, and they also share a common historical background. The objective of my study is twofold: the primar

Abstract:

Various studies have indicated during the past decade that language transfer in L3 may not only stem from L1 but from L2 as well, and that it might sometimes even be stronger from L2, depending on certain factors that facilitate or inhibit transfer. This phenomenon of L2 as the main transfer source in L3 has often been referred to as the ”L2 status factor” (Hammarberg, 2001). The L2 status factor hypothesis expects that the priorly acquired language which scores the highest in several transfer factors will adopt the role of ”external supplier language” (Hammarberg, 2001), i.e. it will be the m

Abstract:

Psychology<br>Ph.D.<br>This dissertation uses Talmy’s linguistic analysis to evaluate the Typological Prevalence Hypothesis – the idea that concepts that are consistently lexicalized across languages are easier to learn than less-consistently-lexicalized concepts, especially for young language learners (Gentner & Bowerman, 2009). We predicted that, for 2-year-olds, who have just begun verb acquisition, mapping a novel verb onto its referent should be easiest for categories that are consistently represented in the world’s verb systems (PATH of motion), followed by less consistently-represented

Abstract:

Visual information design is a vital part of modern communication. Currently discussion is occurring in most disciplines to determine more effective ways to incorporate visual information design into all their communication, including website and document design. These discussions typically focus on elements of traditional graphic design that tell the student what is "good" graphic design; however, traditional graphic design depends on trial and error, luck, and best practices, with only rare attempts to construct general principles. Selection of visual elements is usually based on designer pr

Föreliggande studie handlar om att äta och att dricka, och hur man kan prata om det på tyska och svenska. Målet är att belysa vad det är som styr användningen av så kallade intagningsbegrepp i dessa två språk. Studien intar ett lexikal typologiskt perspektiv och lägger speciellt fokus på rollen som sociala faktorer spelar i valet av intagningsbegrepp. Det undersöks även hur långtgående tendenser svenskan och tyskan uppvisar att reservera vissa intagningsverb för maträtter och drycker av specifik karaktär.

En second lieu, et en ce qui concerne la langue, nous abordons le problème de la catégorisation lexicale et établissons des comparaisons entre les caractéristiques du muinane et celles des langues apparentées bora et miraña. En d'autres termes, dans une perspective typologique, notre but est de définir les classes de catégories lexicales du muinane et de déterminer des critères phonologiques, morpho
