L'esthétique didactique de Yasmina Khadra
- 2011
-
Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Based on three novels by the contemporary Algerian novelist Yasmina Khadra, the study discusses didactic and aesthetic features of the literary text. While essentially set in the Arab world, Khadra’s fiction links to western encyclopaedia and journalistic discourse. In relating to this part of the reader’s experience, the novels produce an impression of proximity to the peripheral real, and a sense of responsibility. It is suggested that this interdiscursivity be viewed not as a deviation from literature but as inherent to literary discourse itself; the text comments and constitutes simultaneously. Emphasising the hybridity of literary means and didactical drive, the study proposes that Khadra’s work be labelled “didafiction”.

Lexical and Grammar Resource Engineering for Runyankore & Rukiga: A Symbolic Approach
- 2021
-
Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Current research in computational linguistics and natural language processing (NLP) requires the existence of language resources. Whereas these resources are available for a few well-resourced languages, there are many languages that have been neglected. Among the neglected and / or under-resourced languages are Runyankore and Rukiga (henceforth referred to as Ry/Rk ). Recently, the NLP community has started to acknowledge that resources for under-resourced languages should also be given priority. Why? One reason being that as far as language typology is concerned, the few well-resourced languages do not represent the structural diversity of the remaining languages. The central focus of this thesis is about enabling the computational analysis and generation of utterances in Ry/Rk. Ry/Rk are two closely related languages spoken by about 3.4 and 2.4 million people respectively. They belong to the Nyoro-Ganda (JE10) language zone of the Great Lakes, Narrow Bantu of the Niger-Congo language family. The computational processing of these languages is achieved by formalising the grammars of these two languages using Grammatical Framework (GF) and its Resource Grammar Library (RGL). In addition to the grammar, a general-purpose computational lexicon for the two languages is developed. Although we utilise the lexicon to tremendously increase the lexical coverage of the grammars, the lexicon can be used for other NLP tasks. In this thesis a symbolic / rule-based approach is taken because the lack of adequate languages resources makes the use of data-driven NLP approaches unsuitable for these languages.

Ett möte mellan två skrivkulturer : Några högstadieungdomars syn på och bruk av skrift vid skol- respektive privatskrivande
- 2011
-
Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The aim of this study is to shed light on and describe a number of secondary school students’ writing practices and their attitudes towards these practices.The material used in the study comes from a secondary school in a suburb of Stockholm where most of the students are bilingual. The entire study comprises five different smaller studies: a questionnaire, a number of interviews, classroom observations, observations of one particular boy’s writing practices and studies of the same boy’s texts.The results of these smaller studies show that a form of encounter between two different writing cultures probably takes place in school. These two writing cultures are, on the one hand, one that is concerned with the students’ school work and, on the other, one that constitutes the private writing culture in which young people indulge when they are not occupied with school work. The study shows that there are obvious differences between these two cultures when it comes to students’ attitudes to writing. Their attitudes to private writing are far more positive than to school writing. A further finding of the study is that there are evident differences between the attitudes of girls and boys to writing, although these are most obvious in the students’ school writing. In private writing the differences are smaller, although some boys claim not to write at all in private, even though they send a great many text messages.One possible implication of the study is that school writing would probably benefit from a widening of the concept of writing to become amore communicative form of writing.

Svensklärares skrivdidaktiska kunskapsbildning : Blivande och tidigt verksamma gymnasielärare i svenska talar om skrivundervisning
- 2016
-
Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The teaching of writing is a central task for teachers of Swedish and it is a complex activity which requires knowledge of different areas such as language, communication, and text. The aim of this licentiate’s dissertation is to investigate when and how the knowledge needed for the teaching of writing is developed in teacher education as well as during the first years of teaching. The study is based on semi-structured qualitative interviews with prospective and novice upper secondary school teachers of Swedish.The data obtained from the interviews were analyzed in two ways. The first analysis focused on the way in which the prospective and novice teachers talked about text, writing, and the teaching of writing. The result shows that, at the beginning of the teacher education, prospective teachers focus on concrete aspects of text – such as syntax, punctuation and spelling – when they speak about text, writing, writing instruction, and assessment of student writings. In other words, they pay special attention to local text levels. At the end of the teacher education programme, prospective teachers focus on aspects of text structure such as outline, the structure of paragraphs, coherence and cohesion. Certain aspects that the students pay special attention to are mentioned by the novice teachers, but these aspects are not central to them. Instead, novice teachers give special attention to the global text levels such as context, receivers and the purpose of the text, i.e. abstract aspects of text and writing. The pattern discerned shows a development that starts with a focus on the details at a local text level and expands into a more comprehensive view with a focus at a global level.The second analysis concerns the development of the knowledge base for the teaching of writing. This analysis focuses on two of the knowledge categories described by Lee S. Shulman (1986, 1987), namely subject matter knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge (PCK), both of which can be seen as central for the teaching of writing. The knowledge base manifested in the prospective teachers’ utterances mainly consists of subject matter knowledge, whereas the greater part of the knowledge base manifested in the teachers’ utterances consists of pedagogical content knowledge for the teaching of writing. The teachers also manifest a more complex subject matter knowledge and speak about writing instruction in a way which is characterized by conscious choices, reflection and metacognition. The analysis thus shows that the PCK for the teaching of writing is mainly developed in the teaching profession; in other words, after the teacher education programme is finished.

Där berättelsen äger rum : Narration, perception och kognition i ett kombinerat text- och läsarperspektiv med exempel ur Eyvind Johnsons författarskap
- 2010
-
Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I en narratologisk studie granskas spatialitet i skönlitterär prosatext. I texten undersöks några spatiala nivåer som kan länkas till extradiegetisk berättarinstans och "normal" perception kontra drömmar och visioner hos karaktärer inom diegesen. Till den narratologiska studien kopplas undersökningsmodeller hämtade från det som med en paraplyterm kallas kognitiv poetik och som behandlar både den litterära texten och läsarens perception och kognition i läsprocessen. I studien berörs också den fiktiva berättelsen betraktad som "värld" ur ett litteraturteoretiskt och filosofiskt resonemang kring begreppen "actual world", "possible worlds" och "fictional worlds". Det övergripande syftet är att förklara hur text och läsarkognition samspelar för att skapa mentala, rumsliga "bilder" hos läsaren, bilder som kan skifta mellan olika läsare och som resulterar i den berättelsens "värld" som läsaren upplever. Som grundtexter i avhandlingsarbetet används Eyvind Johnsons Krilonsvit.
