Inlärningen av de svenska tonaccenterna hos finska S2-talare – automatiseras uttalet?

2016

Swedish has two tone accents, accents 1 and 2. There are approximately 350 minimal pairs such as ánd-en (duck) and ànde-n (spirit) differentiated only by tone accent. As all stressed words in Swedish have a tone accent, tones are important for achieving nativelike pronunciation. However, this is a challenging task for L2 speakers. In Swedish, the tone accents are potentially difficult both acoustically (cf. phonetic realization) and lexically (cf. morphological distribution). The present study focuses on the learning of Central Swedish tones by advanced L2 speakers with Finnish as their L1 (n = 10). The aim is to reveal if the learning of tones is a realistic goal for advanced adult learner…

Effect of energy density on liking and on caloric adjustment conditioning after sweet beverage exposure in children aged 8-11 y

2014

The contribution of sweet beverages to weight gain in children and adolescents is controversial. The present study was conducted to study, in 8-11 year-old children, the influence of energy conditioning on liking and on caloric adjustment after sweet beverages exposure. We also studied the stability of the conditioning effects after a period without exposure and an extinction period. Children (n = 44) were exposed to 2 flavored sweetened beverages: a high energy version (HE: 150kcal) and a no energy version (NE: 0kcal). During a 4-wk conditioning period, children were exposed either 2 or 7 times to each beverage. During a 3-wk stability period children were not exposed to any beverage. Duri…

Kollokative Variation im deutschen und österreichischen Zivilgesetzbuch

2020

Jak wiadomo, język niemiecki jest językiem pluricentrycznym z narodowymi odmianami/centrami, który w obrębie języka prawa różni się także ze względu na obowiązujące w różnych krajach niemieckojęzycznych różne systemy prawa. Austriacki kodeks cywilny (ABGB), uchwalony w roku 1811, jest prawie o cały wiek starszy od swego odpowiednika w RFN (BGB), który wszedł w życie w roku 1900. Ów dystans czasowy pociąga za sobą także różnice w zakresie języka obu kodeksów. Celem artykułu jest pokazanie cech wspólnych i różnic w obrębie kolokacji w niemieckim i austriackim kodeksie cywilnym, które dotąd prawie całkowicie pozostawały poza obszarem badań.

Linguistic diversity and assessment in multilingual schools

2018

En un entorno en el que la diversidad lingüística es natural, la metodología de evaluación afronta nuevos retos. La equidad en el proceso evaluativo aconseja la consideración de aspectos relacionados con las características psicométricas de las pruebas, el desarrollo de la competencia lingüística, o el contexto sociolingüístico, a través de modelos explicativos sobre las variables contextuales de naturaleza lingüística que inciden en el rendimiento. Utilizando datos poblacionales de centros educativos de segundo curso de enseñanza secundaria obligatoria que ofertan más de un modelo lingüístico en la Comunidad Autónoma del País Vasco (N=45), este trabajo analiza las respuestas de 2783 estudi…
