Interkulturell kommunikation på ett svenskt sjukhus : Fallstudier av andraspråkstalare i arbetslivet

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt)abstract
- This dissertation investigates the communication of immigrants employed at a Swedish hospital. The overall aim is to find factors that have a positive effect on their integration into the workplace. The data comprise observations, field notes and approximately 80 hours of audio recordings with five second language speakers made during their everyday activities at work. Since entire workdays have been recorded the data include both professional and social interaction, such as meetings, interaction with patients and small talk between colleagues. In preparation for the case studies a number of interviews were conducted at the hospital and they gave valuable knowledge about the hospital routines and how second language speakers experience their communicative situation.The five participants in the case studies are one male cleaner from Tanzania, two female nurses, one from Iran and one from Lebanon, and two female physicians, one from Hungary and one from Lithuania. The number of years spent in Sweden varies from 4 to 18.The analyses focus on communication strategies, humor and medical case rounds. The results show that lack of language skills is not a hindrance since the participants make use of different strategies to solve language problems. The dissertation also shows that, despite the difficulties and risks involved in the use of humor, the participants do so as a way of showing collegiality. The analysis of case rounds show that the participants are treated as equal interlocutors and contribute as much to the conversation as the first language speakers do. The results indicate, with a few exceptions, successful integration of the participants.Finally, the dissertation argues that a multicultural and multilingual staff is a positive feature since their skills in other languages can be used in ways that both save time and are of economic benefit to the employer. It also argues that Swedish teaching should focus more on interactional skills, for example so that the second language speakers are better prepared to face the communicative challenges they encounter in a workplace.

Minskade skillnader i unga kvinnors och unga mäns kommunikation via datorbaserade medier

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt)abstract
- Av tradition har datorteknik förknippats med en manlig domän. Att denna tradition är på väg att förändras tyder till exempel Statistiska centralbyråns mätningar från 2005. Inga större skillnader mellan kvinnors och mäns tillgång till och användning av datorbaserade medier har där kunnat skönjas. Den åldersgrupp där skillnaderna mellan könen är minst är ungdomar 16–24 år. Unga kvinnor använder således, så väl som unga män, de datorbaserade medierna.Liksom datortekniken har förknippats med en manlig sfär har kommunikation via datorbaserade medier i tidigare forskning främst visat sig tilltala unga kvinnor. Resultaten av mitt avhandlingsarbete som dels baseras på en enkät, genomförd bland 300 svenska ungdomar, dels på djupstudier av tre pojkar och tre flickor, visar att såväl pojkar som flickor dagligen använder datorbaserade medier i kommunikativt syfte. För ungdomar tycks kommunikation i form av gästboksinlägg på nätmötesplatser eller chatt inte ha särskilt mycket med teknikintresse att göra. Att hålla kontakten via Lunarstorm eller MSN är istället en kompletterande umgängesform där kommunikation främst sker mellan vänner som även umgås i verkliga livet.I mitt anförande vid konferensen kommer jag att ge en beskrivning av pojkars och flickors datormedierade kommunikation. Frågor som kommer att behandlas är hur pojkar och flickor använder tekniken, varför de använder den samt vilka de kommunicerar med.

Ungdomars dagliga interaktion
- 2010
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt)abstract
- This thesis explores young people's interaction with different individuals through a variety of media. Three girls and three boys aged 16–18, from an urban school, a rural school and a suburban school, were each observed for a week, at school, at home and during leisure activities. The data analysed consist of field notes, video and audio recordings, and texts written by the participants.The aim of the study is to investigate how young people’s use of language varies in relation to different contexts. Questions are asked about what activities they participate in, what media they use and how they use them, and how they express themselves orally and in writing in different contexts and through different media. The study is based in sociolinguistic theory and activity type theory. Data were collected using ethnographical methods, and analytical tools were drawn from a broadly defined field of discourse analysis.The investigation sheds light on the relationship between what young people are doing socially in any given situation and how they interact. Variation in linguistic styles is made visible by a study of the same individuals involved in different communicative activities. Young people are shown to be a heterogeneous group who engage in different sets of activities. The study questions prevailing definitions and categorisations of adolescents’ linguistic styles and use of electronic media. The outcome is a complex description of everyday interaction, which is found to be shaped by the frames for communicative activities, the technical characteristics of the media employed, and individual factors. In conversational turns, Internet chat messages and text messages, young people select resources from their individual linguistic repertoires in order to achieve specific goals or construct particular roles through their interaction.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt)abstract
- The maid who fell silent. Epic structures and gender in Swedish drama 1725-1900Epic structures such as soliloquies and asides are frequently used in drama. The narrative function served by these dramatic conventions enables characters to provide a running commentary to the plot, and this in turn makes the characters using them a driving force in the drama.In this paper I discuss gender and social class of the dramatic figures using epic structures in Swedish drama from 1725 to 1900. The material studied consists of 25 plays.The main characters af interest are the servant figures. The driving force of 18th-century comedy is the cunning maid and, to a lesser extent, her male counterpart. Around 1850 these servants are replaced by other figures, such as the scheming villain, a characteristic male figure in melodrama.With the emergence of realism and naturalism, the use of epic structures is reduced. Female servant figures in naturalist plays have few lines, and use virtually no soliloquies or asides. They are a necessary part of the bourgeois family, but are no longer the driving force of the drama.

Möten i dialektalt gränsland : Dialektala övergångar genom Närke : dialectal transitions across Närke
- 2001
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt)abstract
- The province of Närke comprises, together with Södermanland, a transition area characterised by a mixture of linguistic features from the Götaland dialects (götamål) and Central Swedish dialects (uppsvenska).One purpose of the study is to test and develop the dialectal transition theory established by J. K. Chambers and P. Trudgill. Another one is to determine the distribution patterns for a number of dialectal transitions in the above-mentioned contact area and to discover linguistic and non-linguistic reasons for them. The third purpose is to describe an aspect of the Närke dialect (närkemålet).The dissertation takes up six transitions covering four linguistic features: dropping of final t in endings, weakening of unstressed i and a and syncope of suffix vowels.From the survey it can be seen that all transitions take place gradually, although there are some exceptions. This means that the transitions are to be seen as dialectal continua. Occasionally the change of a transition, at least in part, is more or less abrupt. In one or two cases there are isogloss conditions.The fact that syncope of suffix vowels and dropped t are mutually exclusive favours retention of final t, as does the hiatus contraction. The vowel balance has some explanatory value for the weakening of unstressed i and a. However, the linguistic explanations should be supplemented with non-linguistic ones.The distribution patterns are compared with various topographical, demographic and ethnogeographical factors. The study shows that population density is of fundamental importance for dialectal distribution. This is reflected in the fact that, in one respect, central Närke is a fairly closely connected dialect-geographical unit. But since the area is a part of several transitional zones it can from another perspective be seen as the opposite.
