Limited English proficiency : case studies of Finns with limited English proficiency

2017

Englannin näkyvyys suomalaisessa yhteiskunnassa on kasvanut vahvasti viime vuosikymmenien aikana. Englannin rooli ja sen merkitys suomalaisten elämässä on lisääntynyt erityisesti nuorten parissa. Aikaisemmat tutkimukset työelämästä viittaavat siihen, että englannin kielen taito nähdään jopa perusosana ammatillista osaamista. Tiedemaailmassa taas on havahduttu siihen, että tiedekeskustelu tapahtuu yhä useammin englanniksi suomen kielen kustannuksella. Tämä saattaa vaikeuttaa osaltaan suomalaisten korkeakoulujen mahdollisuuksia käyttää suomenkielistä opetusmateriaalia. Samaan aikaan noin joka neljäs suomalainen arvio itse oman englannin kielen taitonsa puutteelliseksi. Näin ollen herääkin kys…

Finnish students' uses of and attitudes towards English on Facebook

2013

Monet sosiaalisen median sovellukset ovat saavuttaneet maailmanlaajuisen suosion ja niistä on tullut tärkeä osa etenkin nuorten jokapäiväistä elämää. Englantia käytetään sosiaalisessa mediassa paljon ja erityisesti kielitaitoiset suomalaiset näyttävät pitävän englantia luonnollisena osana internetissä tapahtuvaa kommunikointia. On muodostunut uusia kielenkäyttötapoja ja -oletuksia, mitkä vaikuttavat myös kieliasenteisiin. Kieliasenteet puolestaan vaikuttavat ihmisten kanssakäymiseen ja suhtautumiseen toisiinsa sekä motivoivat kielten opiskeluun. Tässä tutkimuksessa pyrin selvittämään syitä siihen, miksi suomalaiset opiskelijat käyttävät englantia Facebookissa, millaisia funktioita englannin…

Los hábitos lectores en inglés de futuros maestros: Implicaciones didácticas

2014

Se presenta un estudio exploratorio y descriptivo sobre los hábitos lectores en inglés de estudiantes universitarios españoles para detectar cuáles son las áreas de atención prioritaria para poder seguir un Grado en inglés según el EEES. Se midió el nivel de inglés mediante el Oxford Online Placement Test. Se evaluaron los hábitos lectores y el tipo de materiales académicos que los estudiantes leen en inglés mediante un cuestionario. Gran parte de la muestra se encontraba en los niveles elementales e intermedios de dominio del inglés. Un porcentaje muy elevado de estudiantes declaró no tener el hábito de leer en inglés y leer solo materiales académicos obligatorios. Sin embargo, existe una …

"Por si las flais, ni flowers y en off": morphology of loanwords from english as idiomatic words in spanish idioms.

2020

En el presente artículo pretendemos ofrecer un análisis de la configuración formal de un tipo muy concreto de palabras idiomáticas: tres préstamos léxicos procedentes de la lengua inglesa que sobreviven insertos en locuciones españolas. Para ello, delimitaremos en primer lugar los conceptos de palabra idiomática, préstamo léxico y anglicismo. A continuación explicaremos el procedimiento metodológico para recopilar este tipo de piezas léxicas en dos diccionarios generales actuales del español, el DLE y el DEA, basado en el especial tratamiento lexicográfico que estas reciben debido a sus características, limitándonos a las unidades fraseológicas que conocemos como locuciones. Realizaremos un…

Polysemy in Controlled Natural Language Texts

2015

Computational semantics and logic-based controlled natural languages (CNL) do not address systematically the word sense disambiguation problem of content words, i.e., they tend to interpret only some functional words that are crucial for construction of discourse representation structures. We show that micro-ontologies and multi-word units allow integration of the rich and polysemous multi-domain background knowledge into CNL thus providing interpretation for the content words. The proposed approach is demonstrated by extending the Attempto Controlled English (ACE) with polysemous and procedural constructs resulting in a more natural CNL named PAO covering narrative multi-domain texts.

Good English Pronunciation Users and Their Pronunciation Learning Strategies

2015

The study investigates pronunciation learning strategies (PLS) deployed by those with good English pronunciation, as well as their beliefs concerning the variables that affect pronunciation competence. In order to collect data for analysis this study surveyed 61 participants who had learned English as a foreign language. They comprised 28 higher education teachers and scholars specialising in English phonetics and phonology, who were defined as good pronunciation users (GPU), and 33 EFL teacher training students, viewed as average pronunciation learners (APL). This cohort responded to a survey on pronunciation learning strategies and expressed their views on several aspects affecting the L2…

The uses of urban fortresses of Burgundy in the modern times

2011

Study the urban fortresses of Burgundy means interesting in the relationships between, on the one hand, these buildings and their occupants and, on the other hand, the society in which they are located. A city with a castle isn’t necessarily a castral town. The castle can generate, move or expand a city. Its representation also reflects its place in society. The genesis of the city often has consequences throughout the modern times on relationships between the castle and the city. In wartime, the castle can be the ruin or the salvation for the city. In peacetime, it’s most often a dead weight : it must be maintained, sometimes its garnison must be maintained too. But in the dialectic cities…

Gender and Sexuality. Rights, Language and Performativity

2012

The book engages critically with two main aspects of the socio-cultural construction of gender and sexuality. The first section of the volume, Sexual Rights, is socio-political, and includes both the problem of the recognition of rights for all individuals, especially LGBTQI (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, queer and intersexual) subjects, and the struggle to combat discrimination, that entails an analysis of and an opposition to homophobic discourses and actions. The second section of the volume, Media, Literature and Performativity, involves a theoretical elaboration of discursive and literary strategies that relate or can be applied to gendered and sexed identities. These two sphere…
