Proceedings (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Nordiska studier i lexikografi 16 rapporterar från den 16:e konferensen i lexikografi, som genomfördes i Lund 27–29 april 2022. Volymen innehåller 30 bidrag som bygger på inlägg från konferensen i form av plenarföreläsningar, sektionsföredrag och posterpresentationer. Artiklarna spänner innehållsligt över ett brett fält, men samtliga anlägger någon form av lexikografiskt perspektiv. Flera av dem anknyter till konferensens tema Lexikografiska utmaningar. Merparten av bidragen är författade på danska, norska eller svenska, men ett mindre antal är skrivna på engelska.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- A potential, early-stage diagnostic marker for neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, is the onset of language disturbances which is often characterized by subtle word-finding difficulties, impaired spontaneous speech, slight speech hesitancy, object naming difficulties and phonemic errors. Connected speech provides valuable information in a non-invasive and easy-to-assess way for determining aspects of the severity of language impairment. Data elicitation is an established method of obtaining highly constrained samples of connected speech that allows us to study the intricate interactions between various linguistic levels and cognition. In the paper, we describe the collection and content of a corpus consisting of spontaneous Swedish speech from individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), with Subjective Cognitive Impairment SCI) and healthy, age-matched controls (HC). The subjects were pooled across homogeneous subgroups for age and education, a sub-cohort from the Gothenburg-MCI study. The corpus consists of high quality audio recordings (including transcriptions) of several tasks, namely: (i)a picture description task – the Cookie-theft picture, an ecologically valid approximation to spontaneous discourse that has been widely used to elicitate speech from speakers with different types of language and communication disorders; (ii)a read aloud task (including registration of eye movements) – where participants read a text from the IREST collection twice, both on a computer screen (while eye movements are registered), and the same text on paper; (iii)a complex planning task – a subset of executive functioning that tests the ability to identify, organize and carry out (complex) steps and elements that are required to achieve a goal; (iv)a map task – a spontaneous speech production/semi-structured conversation in which the participants are encouraged to talk about a predefined, cooperative task-oriented topic; (v)a semantic verbal fluency task – category animals: where participants have to produce as many words as possible from a category in a given time (60 seconds). The fluency tests require an elaborate retrieval of words from conceptual (semantic) and lexical (phonetic) memory involving specific areas of the brain in a restricted timeframe. All samples are produced by Swedish speakers after obtaining written consent approved by the local ethics committee. Tasks (i) and (ii) have been collected twice in a diachronically apart period of 18 months between 2016 and 2018. The corpus represents an approximation to speech in a natural setting: The material for elicitation is controlled in the sense that the speakers are given specific tasks to talk about, and they do so in front of a microphone. The corpus may serve as a basis for many linguistic and/or speech technological investigations and has being already used for various investigations of language features.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this study we aim to clarify how the 18th-century amateur researcher Clas Bjerkander succeeds in profiling himself and his research in the Transactions of the Royal Academy of Science (TRAS). Bjerkander is known for his research in entomology, a science that in the early 18th century had very practical goals. Deeper knowledge and more thorough descriptions of insects offered better possibilities to prevent crop failure. Bjerkander found over 200 different species of insects, and the most important channel to disseminate his research was the TRAS, where he published his findings (49 texts in all) and kept himself up to date with Swedish natural science on a more general basis. In our study, based on Swales’ genre theory, we focus on the textual features that Bjerkander uses in order to express scientific knowledge, but also on how he profiles himself as a researcher. We relate the textual features to three sub-genres that we identify in his findings. The results show that Bjerkander uses different sets of features for different sub-genres, with the Examination sub-genre coming closest to the modern scientific article of today. Bjerkander’s most important tool in profiling himself as a researcher is the use of references, mostly to his own research but also to some of the most important researchers of his time. Our study also shows that the development of scientific sub-genres is to be studied preferably without relating the texts in question to present-day standards of scientific texts.
