On flora semantics in house names found in Vidzeme: materials contained in the 1826 counting of souls in Vidzeme province
2014
On flora semantics in house names found in Vidzeme: materials contained in the 1826 counting of souls in Vidzeme province The information of the counting of souls containing both house names and names of individuals is an essential aspect of historical onomastics. The first counting of souls in Vidzeme took place in 1782 and coincided with the 4 th analogous census of the provinces of Russia. Subsequently these took place at irregular intervals, the 5 th in 1795, the 6 th in 1811, the 7 th in 1816, the 8 th in 1834, the 9 th in 1850, and the final, 10 th in 1858. The number of house names entered in the 1826 counting of souls in Vidzeme province (guberna) is 14,500, including those of peasa…
Oppijankieliaineistojen annotointi – esimerkkinä ICLFI:n annotoinnin prosessit, ongelmat ja ratkaisut
2014
This article illustrates the grammatical and error annotation of learner language with the help of the International Corpus of Learner Finnish (ICLFI). In particular, we will focus on issues arising from handling with at least semi-automatic methods a morphologically rich language. What makes this corpus special compared to, for example, English-language material, is the frequent variation in di" erent forms and related errors, both due to the rich morphology of the target language. This article begins with a description of the design and implementation process of both the grammatical and error annotation, followed by a brief introduction to the material for which the annotations were desig…
The outcomes of national literacy programs on basic reading skills in familiar language among Zambian early graders
2016
In Zambia the Ministry of General Education implemented two national literacy programs in order to improve low levels of reading; the Primary Reading Program (PRP) implemented from 1999 to 2014 and the Primary Literacy Program (PLP) piloted in some schools in 2014 before being scaled up. This research examines the acquisition of basic reading skills among learners in familiar languages at the end of grade 2 in the two national literacy programs. I examined assessment results separately for each program and compared the two with each other. Outcomes were observed on the basis of the Early Grade Reading assessment test battery given to random samples of children (n=393) in 40 schools from 4 d…
Learning English through and for singing : learner experiences of the interrelation of music and language
2015
Kielen ja musiikin yhtäläisyydet ja eroavaisuudet ovat herättäneet mielenkiintoa viime vuosina niin neurotieteiden, psykologian, musiikkitieteiden, kuin kielitieteidenkin parissa. Koska kieli ja musiikki ovat molemmat kommunikaation välineitä, on luonnollisesti kiinnostavaa tutkia, millaisia yhtäläisyyksiä tai eroavaisuuksia niiden prosessoiminen sisältää. Näitä samankaltaisuuksia on sitten pyritty hyödyntämään useilla eri osa-alueilla, yhtenä niistä kielenoppimisessa. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena oli luoda katsaus klassisen laulajan kielenoppimiseen: ammatin asettamiin kielellisiin vaatimuksiin, sekä oppimisen haasteisiin ja etuihin. Tutkimuksella oli kaksi tavoitetta: niistä ensimmäisen…

Second language comprehensibility and accentedness across oral proficiency levels : A comparison of two L1s
2021
Second language comprehensibility and accentedness are highly complex phenomena, and numerous studies have been conducted to better understand these constructs. However, research has seldom addressed L2 comprehensibility and accentedness in relation to speakers' proficiency in the target language. This study explores L2 English comprehensibility and accentedness across three proficiency levels. The speakers were 60 teenaged Finns, half of them speaking Finnish as their L1 and half speaking Finland-Swedish as their L1. Using 20-s speech samples, the comprehensibility and accentedness of the speakers were rated by 34 English-speaking teenagers on a 9-point scale. Comparisons were made regardi…
Subject-verb agreement of finite verbs in the present tense in written productions of Finnish secondary school learners of English as second language
2012
Subjektin ja verbin välinen kongruenssi on englannin kieliopin perusasioita, joka toimii tiettyjen säännön-alaisuuksien mukaisesti. Ilmiö on kuitenkin kiinnostava, sillä jopa edistyneetkin oppijat tekevät konguenssin tuottamisessa virheitä. Aiemmat tutkimukset ovat osoittaneet, että muun muassa subjektin kompleksisuudella ja semanttisilla piirteillä on vaikutusta kongruenssin hallintaan. Aiemmat tutkimukset eivät kuitenkaan ole ottaneet huomioon oppijoiden taitotasoja ja mahdollisia eroja kongruenssin tuottamisessa eri taitotasojen välillä Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää, miten yläkoulu-ikäisten taitotasoeroilla on vaikutusta kongruenssin tuottamiseen englannin kielessä. Tutkim…
