A Multidisciplinary Approach to Capability in Age and Ageing
- 2022
-
Book (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This open access book provides insight on how to interpret capability in ageing – one’s individual ability to perform actions in order to reach goals one has reason to value – from a multidisciplinary approach. With for the first time in history there being more people in the world aged 60 years and over than there are children below the age of 5, the book describes this demographic trends as well as the large global challenges and important societal implications this will have such as a worldwide increase in the number of persons affected with dementia, and in the ratio of retired persons to those still in the labor market. Through contributions from many different research areas, it discussed how capability depends on interactions between the individual (e.g. health, genetics, personality, intellectual capacity), environment (e.g. family, friends, home, work place), and society (e.g. political decisions, ageism, historical period). The final chapter by the editors summarizes the differences and similarities in these contributions. As such this book provides an interesting read for students, teachers and researchers at different levels and from different fields interested in capability and multidisciplinary research.

Synchronic and Diachronic Aspects of Kanashi
- 2022
-
Editorial collection (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Kanashi, a Sino-Tibetan (ST) language belonging to the West Himalayish (WH) subbranch of this language family, is spoken in one single village (Malana in Kullu district, Himachal Pradesh state, India), which is surrounded by villages where – entirely unrelated – Indo-Aryan (IA) languages are spoken. Until we started working on Kanashi, very little linguistic material was available. Researchers have long speculated about the prehistory of Kanashi: how did it happen that it ended up spoken in one single village, completely cut off from its closest linguistic relatives? Even though suggestions have been made of a close genealogical relation between Kanashi and Kinnauri (another WH language), at present separated by over 200 km of rugged mountainous terrain, their shared linguistic features have not been discussed in the literature.Based on primary fieldwork, this volume presents some synchronic and diachronic aspects of Kanashi. The synchronic description of Kanashi includes a general introduction on Malana and the Kanashi language community (chapter 1), linguistic descriptions of its sound system (chapter 2), of phonological variation in Kanashi (chapter 4), of its grammar (chapter 3) and of its intriguing numeral systems (chapter 5), as well as basic vocabulary lists (Kanashi-English, English-Kanashi) (chapter 9).As for the diachronic and genealogical aspects (chapters 6–8), we compare and contrast Kanashi with other ST languages of this region (in particular languages of Kinnaur, notably Kinnauri), thereby uncovering some intriguing linguistic features common to Kanashi and Kinnauri which provide insights into their common history. For instance: a subset of borrowed IA nouns and adjectives in both languages end in -(a)ŋ or -(a)s, elements which do not otherwise appear in Kanashi or Kinnauri, nor in the IA donor languages (chapter 6); and both languages have a valency changing mechanism where the valency increasing marker -jaː alternates with the intransitive marker -e(d) in borrowed IA verbs (again: elements without an obvious provenance in the donor or recipient language) (chapter 7). These features are neither found in IA languages nor in the WH languages geographically closest to Kanashi (Pattani, Bunan, Tinani), but only in Kinnauri, which is spoken further away. Intriguingly, traces of some of these features are also found in some ST languages belonging to different ST subgroups (both WH and non-WH), spoken in Uttarakhand in India and in western Nepal (e.g. Rongpo, Chaudangsi, Raji and Raute). This raises fundamental questions regarding genealogical classification, language contact and prehistory of the WH group of languages and of this part of the Indian Himalayas, which are also discussed in the volume (chapter 8).

The New Order of Criticism. Explorations of Book Reviews Between the Interpretative and Algorithmic
- 2022
-
In: CEUR Workshop Proceedings. - Aachen : CEUR-WS. ; , s. 228-234
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The New Order of Criticism (2020-2024) is a mixed-methods project combining algorithmic and interpretative approaches to the study of literary criticism. The project expands on a prior study of Swedish book reviews from the years 1906, 1956 and 2006 ('The Order of Criticism', Samuelsson 2013), re-examining and re-evaluating the original results through the use of computational tools, language technology and big data. The aim of the present paper is to discuss early experiences and results from the interdisciplinary approach utilized by the current project, a collaborative process where interpreter and programmer are in dialogue, and where methodologies, and their instantiation in tools, are reflexively discussed from an epistemological point of view. In our analysis we ask: How can insights from working with digital methodologies and tools inform traditional scholarship on literary criticism? How can interpretative approaches and results inform digital methods?.

"Bo högt, högre, högst": Vertikalitet i Göteborgs stadsutvecklingsdiskurs
- 2024

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Artikeln utgår från tesen att Göteborgs stadslednings explicita ambition att ”bygga ihop staden”, att motverka segregation och minska ojämlikhet utmanas av den ökade mobiliseringen av vertikalitet för att underbygga och upprätthålla socioekonomisk uppdelning. Vertikalitet förstås då med Stephen Graham som en både fysisk och social dimension. Vi ser hur stadsbilden snabbt förändras med uppförandet av spektakulära höghus, och vi ser en ökad politisk och social oro kopplat till segregation, utanförskap och kriminalitet. Jag visar och diskuterar hur vertikalitet manifesteras i Göteborgs språkliga landskap på flera olika sätt. Genom att analysera politikernas och exploatörernas ambition att ”lyfta utsatta områden”, visar jag hur olika områden positioneras på en hierarkisk värdeskala och stigmatiserar redan utsatta grupper. Genom att analysera platsskapande skyltar och marknadsföringen av de nya höghusen illustrerar jag den marknadslogik som styr bostadsbyggandet och den hierarkiska synen på olika upplåtelseformer, samt hur vertikalitet kopplas till distinktion och exklusivitet. Jag visar även hur byggandet och marknadsföringen av höga hus styrs av en spekulativ logik som utmanar den offentliga förvaltningens regel- och normverk. Genom att lyssna på de kritiska och oroliga röster som hörs i höghusens skugga pekar jag slutligen på de sociala, affektiva och ekonomiska baksidorna av vertikal stadsutveckling.

Subverting motion in science fiction? : Beam in the Star Trek TV series
- 2023
-
In: Linguistics Vanguard. - : Mouton de Gruyter. - 2199-174X. ; 9:s3, s. 287-295
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Characters in science fiction TV have to move through the universe at the speed which the plot necessitates. In Star Trek, characters can beam from one location to another in an instant. In the visual modality, there is no continuous path of motion between the source and the goal, which would technically disqualify beam from most linguistic definitions of motion. This study aims to map out the usage patterns of beam and investigate whether or not it is linguistically construed as motion within the show. The study is based on a section of the TV Corpus (Davies, Mark. 2019. The TV Corpus. https://www.english-corpora.org/tv/ (accessed 28 May 2022)) consisting of all available episodes of all Star Trek TV series between 1966 and 2005 and uses a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. The study found that beam is indeed used as a motion verb within the series. Its usage is also quite varied, denoting motion of many different figures in many different directions. The fact that we conceive of beaming as motion even though there is no continuous path might be partly explained by the etymology of beam, and partly by the embodied nature of language. Our current register makes it is hard to imagine transportation without movement.
