På aktiebolags bolagsstämmor fastställs föregående räkenskapsårs resultat- och balansräkningar. Bolagsledningar frågas ut och granskas av aktieägarna och hålls ansvariga för sina handlingar. Styrelseledamöter, revisorer och valberedningar väljs, och beslut fattas om vinstutdelningar. Men bolagsstämmor är så mycket mer. De är fulla av symboler och känslor som kan lära oss något om den finansiella e

Would metaphors used in the context of psychotherapy by people who experience various forms of anxiety disorders differ from those used by people who experience stress? We investigated this question with the help of the Motivation & Sedimentation Model (MSM), a theory of meaning-making developed within the synthetic new discipline of cognitive semiotics. The analysis of a sample of ten transcr

Named entity linking is the task of identifying mentions of named things in text, such as “Barack Obama” or “New York”, and linking these mentions to unique identifiers. In this paper, we describe Hedwig, an end-to-end named entity linker, which uses a combination of word and character BILSTM models for mention detection, a Wikidata and Wikipedia-derived knowledge base with global information aggr

Although it has been argued lately that roots have no lexical category, a close look at deadjectival and denominal verbs in North Saami reveals that roots nevertheless differ with respect to their semantic type, and that this semantic contrast between roots leads to systematic syntactic and semantic differences between derived verbs. More specifically, state-denoting (‘adjectival’) roots can combi

This chapter looks at learner characteristics which are largely beyond the teacher’s control, and focuses on three factors that teachers can actively address to increase the effectiveness of instruction: learning styles, learner strategies and motivation. When learning and using an second language, learners may employ a number of strategies which are usually aimed at improving their performance. S

This book focuses on vocal expressions in the borderland between song and speech. It spans across several linguistic and musical milieus in societies where oral transmission of culture dominates. ‘Vocal expression’ is an alternative word for ‘song’ which is free from bias based on cultural and research-related traditions. The borderland between song and speech is a segment of the larger continuum

The left lateralization of language has been attributed to hemispheric specialization for processing rapidly changing information. While interhemispheric differences in auditory cortex organization support this view, the macrostructure of the entire cerebral cortex has not been thoroughly examined from this perspective. This study investigated hemispheric asymmetries in cortical surface area and t

This paper reports on results from studying what a parser can do when combined with Hypercard on a Macintosh computer to form a pedagogical tool for language teaching purposes. The system was applied to Japanese, but the exercises could easily be altered to suit other languages as well. There are exercises for learning vocabulary, hiragana (see Writing system below) and grammar. The focus is on sy

In both second language acquisition research and teaching, there is a need for practical, reliable and valid proficiency tests to be used with learners of various target languages and at different proficiency levels. In the present study, a written proficiency test based on the C-test methodology was developed and tested on 144 Swedish 15-year-olds studying French, German, and Spanish in lower sec

In three empirical studies, we compare one syntactic and one semantic approach to agreement preferences in so-called pancake constructions (pcs) in Swedish, as in Senap är starkt ‘Mustard is strong’.pcs are either substance-denoting, naming an inherent property of the subject, or situation-denoting, naming a property of the subject that is linked to some event. These two types were found to differ
