Laminations and tilings of the Hyperbolic upper half plane
2005
This thesis is devoted to the study of dynamical systems associated with tilings of theEuclidean plane or of the Hyperbolic half-plane. A such tiling codes an action of a group ofisometries (namely the group of translations of the plane or the group of affine maps) on a compactmetric space $\Omega$ such that the properties of this action are related with the combinatoricproperties of the tiling. The behaviors of the actions obtained by this way are really various. Insome cases, like for example for the Penrose's tiling, this action is free and minimal. This givesto the set $\Omega$ a structure of a specific lamination called {\it solenoid}. This space islocally the product of a Cantor set w…

Multilingualism in Finnish companies – selected results of the LangBuCom-project
2017
The research project “Languages in international business communication, LangBuCom” addresses language needs and use in Finnish companies, from the perspective of internationalization. Today, multilingual situations with two or three languages are normal, although they entail challenges. nonPeerReviewed

Communication within contemporary families is increasingly and to a significantextent mediated through technological devices and digital applications.Although the everyday reality of many multilingual families is permeated by technology, research on their digital and language practices has been scant. This article argues for the need for eclectic approaches that draw upon theories, practices, and findings from research on transnational families and migration, digitally mediated family communication, parental mediation, multilingualism online, and family multilingualism and language transmission. Two empirical case studies are presented on multilingual family constellations in Finland in whi…
The Importance of Multilingual Information and Plain English in Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic
2021
Health is a common issue for all human beings. As a consequence, everyone in the world has in some way to cope with the language of medicine. This is true now more than ever due to the global health crisis caused by the current COVID-19 pandemic, which has introduced a great amount of terms, previously mostly used by epidemiologists and statisticians, but which now have entered the daily lexicon of many languages. As the medium of international scientific communication, English is the language of worldwide information about the pandemic, and the main source of terms and expressions for other languages. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on English lexicon has been so deep that the Oxford E…
Second Language Interference during First Language Processing by Arabic-English Bilinguals.
2017
The research investigated whether a bilinguals’ second language (L2) is activated during a task involving only the first language (L1). We tested the hypothesis that the amount of L2 interference can vary across settings, with less interference occurring in testing locations where L2 is rarely used. In Experiment 1, we compared language processing for 50 Arabic–English bilinguals tested in Saudi Arabia and 49 Arabic–English tested in the United States. In the task, participants viewed a picture and judged whether a phoneme presented over headphones was part of the L1 picture name. The results showed no effect of testing location on processing. For both groups of bilinguals, we observed L2 i…
La linguistica vista dalle Alpi. Teoria, lessicografia e multilinguismo
2019
Il volume raccoglie contributi che hanno come principale tema di ricerca la multiforme realtà linguistica dell’ambiente alpino. Essi indagano fenomeni linguistici di lingue standard e di minoranza appartenenti ai gruppi romanzo e germanico. Il libro si compone di quatto sezioni: modelli teorici, valenza e lessicografia, linguistica delle varietà e multilinguismo e le lingue nel Trentino-Alto Adige. The contributions of this book deal with the diverse linguistic situation of the Alps by focusing on phenomena of standard and minority languages which belong to the Romance and Germanic group. They address four main topics which correspond to the four sections of the book: linguistic theory, val…
