Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Dans la quête des sources du malaise profond qui parcourt toute l'oeuvre de Benjamin Constant, on ne peut qu'être frappé par la place qu'occupe la douleur dans les préoccupations de cet auteur. Adolphe constitue à ce titre un bon exemple de ce phénomène, mais pour en rendre compte convenablement, il convient de l’examiner dans ses rapports avec la mauvaise conscience tant ces deux sentiments sont interchangeables et entretiennent des liens de cause à effet. Après avoir déterminé les modalités selon lesquelles douleur et mauvaise conscience se conjuguent, il est vite apparu que la douleur modelait l’intersubjectivité par le recours à des thèmes proches comme la pitié et la compassion, voire la cruauté et la tyrannie. Cette configuration complexe de la douleur n’a bien souvent pas été prise en compte par la critique qui s’est souvent servi d’Adolphe pour porter un jugement moral sur Constant alors qu’il aurait été plus judicieux de tenter de déceler les enjeux de la douleur non seulement pour le narrateur et son amante, mais aussi pour le lecteur.Dans la quête des sources du malaise profond qui parcourt toute l'oeuvre de Benjamin Constant, on ne peut qu'être frappé par la place qu'occupe la douleur dans les préoccupations de cet auteur. Nombre de réflexions théoriques à propos de la douleur se retrouvent dans les différents écrits sur la religion, mais le thème de la souffrance est aussi repris dans les écrits intimes et les oeuvres de fiction pour y exprimer le malaise ressenti par la douleur causée à autrui. Adolphe offre un excellent exemple d’exposition de la douleur dans la mesure où elle constitue la trame principale du récit. S’y trouvent aussi des enjeux nombreux et d’importance, mais difficiles à percevoir en raison de la grande charge émotive imprégnant les relations d’Adolphe et d’Ellénore et de la structure narrative particulière à cette oeuvre. Pour nous aider à déterminer les enjeux de la douleur, il sera dans un premier temps utile d’en examiner les manifestations dans ses relations avec la mauvaise conscience qui taraude le narrateur tout au long du récit. S’attacher à percevoir les liens entre ces deux sentiments n’est en rien arbitraire dans la mesure où ils s’imbriquent dans une causalité réciproque.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this article is to shed new light on the use and translation of English and Swedish questions in fiction by using a combination of parallel and comparable corpus data extracted from the bidirectional English-Swedish Parallel Corpus. In particular, the study examines questions containing a question mark (QMquestions) categorised into wh-interrogatives, polar interrogatives, alternative questions, tag questions (including those with invariant tags), declarative questions, wh-fragments and non-wh-fragments. The parallel analysis shows that most QMquestion types are more often translated congruently into English than into Swedish. The focus is on types with low mutual correspondence scores: fragments, tag questions and declarative questions. The comparable analyses concern both bilingual contrasts between the original texts and monolingual contrasts between the translation and original subcorpora in both languages. The bilingual analysis aligns with several preliminary findings in the parallel analysis, e.g. the favouring of tag questions and some types of wh-fragments in English. The monolingual analysis reveals both over- and underuse in translations and points to a strong effect of source-language influence.

The Framing of Corporate Social Responsibility and the Globalization of National Business Systems : A Longitudinal Case Study
- 2010
-
Ingår i: Journal of Business Ethics. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 0167-4544 .- 1573-0697. ; 93:4, s. 653-669

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The globalization movement in recent decades has meant rapid growth in trade, financial transactions, and cross-country ownership of economic assets. In this article, we examine how the globalization of national business systems has influenced the framing of corporate social responsibility (CSR). This is done using text analysis of CEO letters appearing in the annual reports of 15 major corporations in Sweden during a period of transformational change. The results show that the discourse about CSR in the annual reports has changed from a national and communitarian view of social responsibility (cf. a negotiated view of CSR) toward an international and individualistic view of social responsibility (cf. a self-regulating view of CSR). The article contributes theoretically (1) by adding a national–global dimension to previous conceptualizations of CSR and (2) by showing that the rise of CSR discourse and activities in the last 10 years does not have to imply an increased commitment and interest in corporate responsibility per se, only that there are increased societal expectations that corporations should develop the capability to act more independently as moral agents.

Exploiting frame semantics and frame-semantic parsing for automatic extraction of typological information from descriptive grammars of natural languages
- 2019

Ingår i: International Conference Recent Advances in Natural Language Processing, RANLP. - Shoumen : Incoma Ltd. - 1313-8502. - 9789544520557 - 9789544520564 ; 2019-September, s. 1247-1256

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- We describe a novel system for automatic extraction of typological linguistic information from descriptive grammars of natural languages, applying the theory of frame semantics in the form of frame-semantic parsing. The current proof-of-concept system covers a few selected linguistic features, but the methodology is general and can be extended not only to other typological features but also to descriptive grammars written in languages other than English. Such a system is expected to be a useful assistance for automatic curation of typological databases which otherwise are built manually, a very labor and time consuming as well as cognitively taxing enterprise.

Modalitet och förändring : En studie av må och kunna i fornsvenska
- 2007
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis investigates the development of root and non-root meanings of modal verbs through an empirical study of the verbs må and kunna in Old Swedish. Modality is taken to refer domains in which possibility contrasts with necessity. In Old Swedish, må (magha) and kunna 'may' and kunna 'can' have the potential to express most of the meanings relating to possibility and necessity, as well as lexical meanings. The two verbs are investigated in an Old Swedish corpus consisting of legal and religious texts. Certain default correlations between type of modal and semantic and syntatic enviroments, which have been proposed in the litterature, are investigated. The result shows that må frequently expresses participant-internal possibility, 'ability' and deonic possibility, 'permission', whereas kunna is mainly associated with participant-internal and general external possibility. Of particular interest is the use of må in conditions, which provides evidence that this construction type may have played a bridging role in the development on non-root modality. Using the framework of force dynamics, the development of modal meaning is analysed as a metamorphical transfer of one consistent image-schema between different conceptual domains. the schematic components are described in terms of forces and barriers. The proposed transfer from a physical to a social domain and further on to a mental and a conversional domain provides a good account of the diachronic development.

Confirmation-demanding tag questions in fiction dialogue
- 2014

Ingår i: Subjectivity and epistemicity. - Lund : Lund University. - 9789187833199 ; , s. 165-185

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper deals with tag questions to which an answer is demanded by a speaker who is certain about the truth of the proposition but who wants to hear the answer uttered by the addressee. Similar tag questions have previously been described based on data from courtrooms (e.g. Biscetti 2006), where tag questions are typically used by powerful speakers. However, data from the British National Corpus shows that confirmation-demanding tag questions may also be used outside institutional settings and in situations with various power relationships. Most of these examples are from fiction dialogue, where conflicts and confrontations are often depicted. In courtrooms, there is always an audience; however, in fiction dialogue, most confirmation-demanding questions in the data are found in private conversations. Confirmation-demanding tag questions seldom seem to be captured in conversational data, apart from in cases where the speaker wants the answer to be heard by a third party; it is therefore suggested that private confrontations might be underrepresented in conversational data. This paper also discusses functional categorizations of tag questions in general and argues that the unit of analysis should be the whole tag question, i.e. the anchor and the tag taken together, and not just the tag.
