The paper summarizes the first stage of development of a new subfield of linguistics known as linguistic memory research, and poses three ąuestions which are important for its further development: what are the mutual relations and tangents between language and memory (both individual and collective), what are the mutual relations between linguistic memory research and the related field of cognitive ethnolinguistics (as well as such disciplines in humanities as historiography and theoretical archaeology), and lastly, in what areas can linguistic memory research and ethnolinguistics support each other most effectively.

Facsimile : The Makings of the Similar in Graham Rawle’s Collage Novel Woman’s World
2016
This article reads Graham Rawle's collage novel Woman's World (2005) by utilizing the literal and metaphoric meanings of the facsimile as critical tools. Woman's World is an assemblage of circa 40,000 fragments cut and pasted from over a 1000 copies of British women's magazines of the early 1960s. These snippets are reproduced in facsimile and thus feature a jerky variety of font types, cases, and sizes. Woman's World does not only present a facsimile of its found graphic materials but it also studies, in my reading, the "facsimile" (similarizing, imitating, copying) qualities of gender identification, adopted discourses, (cross-)dressing, and the novel's own construction. The "varieties of…

Exploring identity construction in bilingual families
2017
Tämän pro gradu-tutkielman tarkoituksena on tarkastella kahden kaksikielisen perheen jäsenten identiteetin rakentumista. Vaikka kaksikielisyyttä perheissä on tutkittu laajalti, identiteetin rakentumisen näkökulmasta tutkimuksia on suhteellisen vähän. Tutkimus on luonteeltaan laadullinen ja tavoitteena oli selvittää miten perheenjäsenet kuvaavat identiteettiään ja identifioituvat kieliinsä sekä millaisia identiteettejä he rakentavat itselleen. Identiteettiin liittyen, tukielma halusi myös vastata kysymyksiin kielen käytöstä sekä tunteiden ilmaisemisesta. Tutkielma myös tarkastelee mahdollisia eroja ja yhtäläisyyksiä identiteettien välillä sukupolvien sekä sisarusten kesken. Lähtökohtana tutk…
