Min tanke med detta arbete var att hitta nya sätt att både skriva och producera låtar på, genom att använda mig av referenslåtar som inspirationskälla. Jag fokuserade på tre olika beståndsdelar från referenslåtarna, som sedan implementerades i tre nyskapade demolåtar. I låt 1 fokuserade jag på basen roll. I låt 2 fokuserade jag på solosångens relation till körsång och i låt 3 fokuserade jag på elpianot Fender Rhodes. När jag analyserade referenslåtarna så tog jag med mig vissa principer från respektive referenslåt och implementerade i mina egna låtar. Detta resulterade i att jag bland annat upptäckte nya spelsätt, sound och produktionstekniker att inspireras av till mina tre nyskrivna demolåtar. Att jobba med referenslåtar upplevde jag var ett bra startskott för att komma igång med låtskrivarprocessen. Samtidigt kunde jag stundtals känna mig begränsad och låst till referenslåtarna. Trots detta så var det en väldigt lärorik metod som hjälpte mig at vidga mina vyer och möjliggjorde för mig att skapa tre demolåtar som jag kanske inte annars hade skrivit.

Lexical typological studies examine how various languages express similar concepts. Previous research has discussed how the concept of moment is encoded lexically in English, Ancient Greek, and Ancient Egyptian. However, there are no cross-linguistic studies to date that collect data on the lexical expressions associated with the concept of moment. Apart from documenting expressions encoding the concept in various languages, I determine the morphosyntactic status of the collected expressions, analyze the contexts in which they are used, and identify the conceptual sources that the expressions are related to. The data is collected from a convenience sample of 37 mostly unrelated languages using a multiparallel Bible corpus, lexicons, reference grammars, and etymological dictionaries. An expression was found in 27 of the 37 languages. About 74% of the expressions (20 of 27) were used to create temporal adjuncts via affixation of locative case markers and collocation with adpositions. About 41% of the expressions (11 of 27) displayed conceptual sources pertaining to the cognitive domain TIME, while about 30% (8 of 27) were related to VISION. The study contributes to our knowledge of how abstract temporal concepts are expressed lexically. / Studier inom lexikal typologi utforskar hur olika språk uttrycker liknande koncept. Tidigare forskning inom området har behandlat hur ett ögonblick som koncept uttrycks på engelska, forngrekiska, och fornegyptiska. Däremot finns hittills inga typologiska studier som samlar data kring lexikala uttryck för konceptet ögonblick. Syftet med denna studie är att dokumentera hur ett ögonblick uttrycks lexikalt i olika språk. Utöver det syftar jag till att fastställa de olika uttryckens morfosyntaktiska status, analysera vad för slags kontext de förekommer i, och identifiera de olika konceptuella källorna som kan ge upphov till uttrycken i fråga. Data samlades in utifrån ett bekvämlighetsurval av 37 mestadels obesläktade språk genom att använda en korpus med bibelöversättningar, lexikon, referensgrammatiker, och etymologiska ordböcker. Ett uttryck för konceptet ögonblick hittades i 27 av 37 språk. Circa 74% av uttrycken (20 av 27) användes inom adverbfraser, då de antigen förekom med lokativa affix eller med adpositioner. Circa 41% av uttrycken (11 av 27) hade konceptuella källor som kunde associeras med TID, medan circa 30% (8 av 27) hade med SYN att göra. Denna studie bidrar till kunskapen om hur abstrakta temporala koncept uttrycks lexikalt.

Abstract  Background: The evolution of technology has transformed the way we shop, with BNPL services like Klarna and Qliro gaining popularity among consumers. This form of short-term financing offers flexibility by allowing customers to either pay later or divide their costs into interest-free installments. While BNPL is initially associated with online shopping, BNPL has expanded to physical stores, enabling customers to choose from even more payment options. The fashion industry has especially benefited from the evolving BNPL, as it facilitates easier exploration of new styles and product comparison from the comfort of one’s home. Furthermore, BNPL users are more likely to make purchases, spend more, and exhibit higher customer loyalty.  Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the factors affecting the intention to use BNPL technology and how they differ in an online and in-store context.  Method: For the researchers to accomplish the purpose of this study, a qualitative research strategy was applied. The empirical data was obtained through semi-structured interviews held with Gen Z participants residing in Jönköping, who had previous experience using BNPL either in-store, online, or both. The data was later analyzed and interpreted using an abductive approach, using thematic analysis.   Conclusion: The research findings indicate that multiple factors influence purchase intention when using BNPL in both online and in-store contexts. A theoretical model, previous research, and empirical findings was incorporated for the study’s revised research framework including perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived risk, trust and security pain of payment and attitudes. For the online context, gen Z perceived all factors included in the revised research framework were found to have a noteworthy influence on purchase intentions using BNPL in the fashion industry. Moreover, the study identified both differences and similarities between the online and in-store context. For the in-store context, five out of the six factors in the revised research framework were perceived to be important for gen Z when purchasing fashion. Further the study suggests that there may be relational patterns between the factors, however the study did not examine relationships or degrees of associations between the factors, leaving room for future investigation.
