Suomen kielen U-verbit taitotason indikaattorina
2012
Artikkelin lahtokohtana on kysymys lingvistisista indikaattoreista eri funktionaalisia kielitaitotasoja osoittamassa. Tutkimuskohteena ovat suomen kielen U-verbit, joiden on aiemman tutkimuksen perusteella todettu tuottavan ongelmia hyvin edistyneillekin suomenoppijoille. U-verbit ovat intransitiivisia verbijohdoksia, joiden kantaverbeilla on tavallisesti A-vartalo, esim. vaihtaa > vaihtua ja jatkaa > jatkua . U-verbit voivat olla esimerkiksi refleksiivisia tai automatiivisia. Automatiivisuudella tarkoitetaan, etta jotakin tapahtuu ei-intentionaalisesti tai ilman elollista agenttia. Aineistona ovat otokset kolmesta suomenoppijoiden korpuksesta: 12–16-vuotiaiden koululaisten kirjoitelmista (…
From a Finnish player to an English avatar : language alternation in immersive video gaming sessions
2015
Videopelien pelaamisesta on tullut suosittu harrastus, joka sisältää usein aktiivista ja monikielistä kommunikointia pelaajien kesken. Pelaamisen sosiaalisuutta ja keskustelijoiden koodinvaihtoa käsittelevän tutkimuksen asetelmat ovat keskittyneet yhdellä ruudulla pelattaviin konsolipeleihin, vaikka internet on mahdollistanut etämoninpelaamisen ja ääniviestien välittämän vuorovaikutuksen. Kokemus virtuaaliseen maailmaan eläytymisestä voi muovata pelaajien välistä keskustelua, ja ilman kehonkieltä kielellisillä valinnoilla on pelaajien reaktioiden sekä hahmoihin samaistumisen ilmaisemisessa entistä suurempi rooli. Tämän tutkielman tarkoitus oli selvittää, mihin tarkoituksiin ja kuinka laajas…
Parenthood and gender inequality : Population-based evidence on the child penalty in Finland
2019
This study presents evidence on the effect of parenthood on labor market outcomes in Finland. We use population-based data drawn from administrative registers and an event study design centered around the birth of the first child using the specification proposed in Kleven et al. (2019b). The study confirms that women encounter large short- and long-term child penalties in gross labor earnings and that penalties are associated with employment participation. Taxes and social security transfers considerably reduce the child penalty, which also varies by the number of children. peerReviewed
Understanding Finnish education: science popularization and scholarly work as intertwined activities
2015
Moving to Finland two years ago had given new push to my work in many ways. I have been studying Hungarian educationfor about thirteen years and I have been addressing the general public with popularizing materials for nearly five years now. However, in Finland these activities become more complex than in my native country. Here, I wish to discuss how my research found larger and larger contexts in two steps: First, by starting to make my research available to wider audiences in Hungary, and second, by turning my focus to an international environment. I claim that these two types of recontextualization are not only beneficial for me as a researcher personally but also serve the researched c…
Parenting styles of Finnish parents and their associations with parental burnout
2022
Abstract In the present study, we examined what kind of parenting style groups (defined by parental warmth, behavioral control, and psychological control) can be identified among contemporary Finnish mothers and fathers and how these parenting style groups are associated with parents’ symptoms of parental burnout. Gender differences in parenting style groups, and in their associations with parental burnout, were also investigated. The survey data were gathered from 1,471 Finnish parents (91.2% mothers). The results of k-means cluster analysis identified six different parenting style groups: authoritarian (13.5%), permissive (15.2%), psychologically controlling (19.4%), uninvolved (14.4%), c…
Kokeilu kirjoittamisen itsearvioinnista tietokoneella
2001
This article discusses an experiment which we are conducting in the field of Finnish as a second language. We are developing an Internet-based program that learners of Finnish can use to assess their own writing skills. The program code originally comes from the DIALANG project, which is developing a diagnostic language assessment system for 14 languages for the Internet. We selected two new writing tasks for the program, and constructed related sets of benchmark performances to enable the learners to assess their own abilities. In the article, we first discuss the concepts of learner autonomy and self-assessment, in other words the theoretical framework that underlies the program. This is …

Enabling leadership promotes a positive working climate
2013
This study looks for current information about factors related to educational leadership that help to promote a positive working climate and which may ultimately influence the employees' overall well-being at work. The study focuses on finding out what is the role of open interaction for the development of a positive working climate. Crucial information about well-being promoting leadership practices is needed in the Finnish context. Previous research shows that employees' experiences of well-being at work in educational organizations vary. Promoting employee well-being has become a crucial leadership issue in the Finnish society. Leadership training has been found to have a key position in…
Internationalization and democratization interconnected : the Swedish and Finnish parliaments debating membership in the League of Nations in 1920
2019
In the aftermath of the First World War, constitutions of European states were widely democratized and parliamentarized, and similar turns were expected in international relations as a consequence of the creation of the League of Nations. This comparative analysis of Swedish and Finnish parliamentary debates on the League membership focusing on conceptualizations of the national versus international demonstrates how democratization and internationalization merged discursively. This happened to a greater extent than in the British parliament or the First Assembly of the League. Such entanglements followed from the interconnectedness of constitutional and foreign policy questions during prece…
Viittomakielet hybridisysteemeinä - hämärärajaisuus ja epäkonventionaalisuus osana viittomakielten rakennetta
2018
Tässä artikkelissa tarkastellaan hämärärajaisuutta ja epäkonventionaalisuutta osana joitakin kaikista viittomakielistä löydettyjä yksiköitä ja rakenteita ja niiden käyttöä. Täsmällisemmin artikkelin fokuksessa ovat tietyt muodoltaan ja merkitykseltään tilanteisesti muuntuvat viittomat (erityisesti niin kutsutut osittain leksikaaliset viittomat) sekä eräänlainen vaihteleva-asteinen näytteleminen (niin kutsuttu konstruoitu toiminta), jota viittojat käyttävät tuottamiensa syntaktisten rakenteiden osana ja niiden sijaan. Käytännössä artikkeli esittelee näkemyksen, jonka mukaan molemmissa tarkastelun kohteena olevissa ilmiöissä on kyse samasta asiasta eli kielen diskreettien ja konventionaaliste…
