Grammatikalisering, typ?: om den förändrade användningen av ordet typ 1965–2009 som en grammatikaliseringsprocess

I uppsatsen undersöks hur användningen av ordet typ har förändrats i dagspress under perioden 1965–2009 och vad som kan ha lett till denna utveckling.

Föräldraledighetslagen (1995:584) - En rättsociologisk studie

I began this essay with the question: Does the Parental Leave Act (1995:584) affect the Swedish men's tendency to take their parental leave? As a rule of law (and law itself) is a standard that is elevated to rule the purpose was to see if this legislation (as standard) has affected men's propensity to take their parental leave, and also if there has been a restructuring with regard to the

Eftersom Internetanvändandet blir allt mer vanligt i privatpersoners vardagliga sysslor och att hoten på Internet expanderar allt mer, så har vi här jämfört vad två experter från de ledande antivirusföretagen har för åsikter gentemot privatpersoners erfarenheter. De empiriska data vi samlat in är hämtade via en webbenkät som är utskickad till ett femtiotal privatpersoner, i vilken vi kartlagt der
