Sama koulutus - eri urat : tutkimus Mainzin yliopistossa soveltavaa kielitiedettä vuosina 1965-2001 opiskelleiden suomalaisten urakehityksestä palkka…

The focus of the present study is to describe the connection between the Finnish students’ studies of applied linguistics in the Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, Germany, and their later working career. One specific field of competence that all of them have is the skill of German language and the knowledge of German culture. The career development has led some students to become entrepreneurs, some to become freelancers, and some to become salaried employees. The description is longitudinal.Becoming socially aware in a foreign culture is a notable feature in the respondents’ inner growth. This growing awareness is linked as a process to the various stages of their life cycles. By using…
The Winding Road to Accessing the Voices of One Thousand Schoolchildren : A Nexus Analysis of Collecting Data for a Survey
2021
This article describes a nexus analysis of the lengthy, complex process of negotiating access to schools for a research project surveying 1,002 children (aged 9–12 years) about their digital and language practices. The analysis distinguished layers of adult-centered gatekeeping, each of which needed to be tackled in sequence. Bottlenecks particularly arose at the gatekeeping stage, in which superintendents of schools decided whether to grant research access to schools. Factors facilitating the research process included the hybrid data collection design, the procedures for obtaining parental consent, and the active collaboration with the children themselves. A significant discourse emerged a…

The Personal Repertoire and Its Materiality : Resources, Means and Modalities of Languaging
2023
The chapter is a theoretical discussion of the concept of personal repertoire and its application in the context of applied linguistics, particularly in the study of language learning and development. It questions conceptualisations that understand language learning as acquisition of abstract, decontextual and disembodied language knowledge and argues that learners’ know-how is not based on any kind of ‘mental grammar’, but on a personal repertoire of different multimodal semiotic resources. Bringing together ‘old’ and ‘new’ arguments for materialism, personal repertoires are examined focussing on how embodied agentive activity is intertwined with the socially structured environments and th…
The Contribution of Event-Related Potentials to the Understanding of Sign Language Processing and Production in the Brain : Experimental Evidence and…
2022
Functional neuroimaging allows investigation of the timing properties of the brain mechanisms underlying covert language processing. This paper presents a review of the use of the neuroimaging technique called Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) in sign language (SL) research. In the field of neurolinguistics, ERPs have been widely used in the study of spoken language, but their use in SL is still rare. Studying the neurocognitive aspects of SL could lead to a better understanding of the specific processing of SL in the brain. This review outlines the basic theoretical and methodological principles of ERPs. We focus on three groups of ERPs that are particularly relevant to SL processing and pro…
Revisiting the role of embedding in Systemic Functional Linguistics : Construing depth in “big texts”
2021
This paper is concerned with exploring the role of embedded genres in expanding the meaning potential of long texts, focusing especially on complex tertiary assignments. A significant body of work has evolved in Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) on modelling “big texts” as macrogenres since Martin (1994: 29) posed the question how texts “get bigger than a page”. However, based on detailed genre analyses of high-scoring undergraduate business country reports, this paper illustrates that not all big texts are macrogenres made up of elemental genre complexes. Analogising from clause grammar, it will show that these texts unfold through multiple layers of embedded genres in their generic st…

Kielitietoisuuden kautta kohti ihmiskunnan suuria kysymyksiä
2017
Tässä kirjoituksessa pohditaan sitä, mikä on kielitietoisuuden ja kielten yhteiskunnallinen merkitys, miten kielentutkimuksen tieteidenvälisyys toteutuu sekä mitkä ovat niitä keinoja, joilla kielentutkimus voi käsitellä ihmiskunnan suuria kysymyksiä. Kirjoitus perustuu Turun yliopiston kieli- ja käännöstieteiden laitoksella keväällä 2017 järjestetyn tiedepäivän paneelikeskusteluun, johon kirjoittajat osallistuivat. nonPeerReviewed
