Abstract:

Due to globalization, diversity in the Swedish classrooms is common. This study sets out to examine the pupil’s and teacher’s perspectives of multilingualism in Sweden and how it effects English language learning. Although, a majority consider multilingualism to be an asset in language learning, many still believe that children mix the languages together and become confused. There seems to be no unanimous answer to whether or not multilingualism aids in learning an additional language. Therefore, this study aims to examine positive and negative effects of monolingualism and multilingualism in

Abstract:

In the first decades of the 20th century, research on bilingualism was just beginning. The first studies on bilingual children proposed a substantial disadvantage with respect to intelligence and learning abilities. This first proposition was later discarded when Peal and Lambert (1962) suggested that, on the contrary, speaking two languages was providing children with significant advantages in their cognition. At the present time, it is assessed that, while knowing more than one language is not negative, the supposition that bilingualism might have positive effects on executive processing is

Abstract:

The empirical question which is the focus of present research is: How may the lexicons from different languages interact in the course of one syntactical derivation, resulting in code switching phenomena? We develop the following hypothesis concerning code switching: The units of intrasentential code switching are either heads or functional maximal projections. To get support for this hypothesis, intrasentential code switching instances from Russian-English-Turkish and Dutch- Turkish spoken data are analyzed within the minimalist framework. In the data analysed, it has been observed that the d

The project thus understands European modernism as emerging from empire, and reads its formal innovations as engagements with the histories and quotidian realities of language use in the empire and in the metropolis.

The multilingualism of Finnegans Wake has been widely regarded as a feature that makes the text difficult and perplexing, and even inessential to some readers and translators who have chosen to iron it out of their plot summaries and translations.

Abstract:

Language-use has proven to be the most complex and complicating of all Internet features, yet people and institutions invest enormously in language and crosslanguage features because they are fundamental to the success of the Internet’s past, present and future. The thesis takes into focus the developments of the latter – features that facilitate and signify linking between or across languages – both in their historical and current contexts. In the theoretical analysis, the conceptual platform of inter-language linking is developed to both accommodate efforts towards a new social complexity mo

Abstract:

The interactions among languages in the Qinghai Area of China involved the historical migration of those who came into the area at some point in time and settled in. In addition, political driving forces dictated various migratory movements of different ethnic groups to settle into the area throughout history. The Qinghai Area, known as Amdo in the Tibetan cultural world, constitutes a geographical depression in the northeastern end of the Tibetan plateau which is ideal for grazing and farming. The climate of the region is largely monitored by the mega size salt water lake known as the Qingha

Abstract:

La presente tesis doctoral se enmarca dentro de la investigación sobre el multilingüismo, más concretamente analiza la adquisición y el desarrollo multilingüe en edades tempranas. Nuestros participantes son aprendices de inglés como tercera lengua (L3) en un sistema de educación bilingüe donde se estudia catalán y castellano como primera y segunda lengua (L1/L2). Tradicionalmente, la investigación en el campo del multilingüismo se ha estudiado desde una perspectiva monolingüe, es decir, examinando la adquisición del lenguaje sin tener en cuenta el bagaje lingüístico de los estudiantes y la pos

Abstract:

En les últimes dècades, moltes escoles d’elit fundades segons paràmetres nacionals s’han internacionalitzat per adaptar-se a les condicions canviants de les societats en la modernitat tardana, i mantenir-se competitives en un mercat educatiu altament disputat. La internacionalitat pot ser més o menys explícita, i s’implementa en major o menor mesura en escoles públiques, concertades i privades (Bonal, 2009; Vilalta, 2015). Internacionalitzar-se implica, normalment, augmentar la presència de l’anglès i d’altres llengües estrangeres, consolidar programes d’intercanvi o cursar períodes a l’estra
