1	Att bygga en bro mellan två språk : En språkanalys av två matematikläromedel för årskurs 3 / Building a bridge between two languages : A linguistic analysis of two mathematics textbooks for grade 3 Agebjörn, Jennie, Stolt, Cecilia January 2016 (has links) The aim of the study is to perform a linguistic analysis of mathematics textbooks. Mathematical text exercises are built up of linguistic structures which are significant for the pupil’s understanding of text exercises. Two different mathematics textbooks for grade three are analysed: Prima matematikand Tummen upp. The aim is to investigate how text exercises in mathematics textbooks are linguistically structured. The study analyses the style, form and content of the text and its relation to the reader. The result shows that the content of the text exercises is close to the pupil’s everyday reality, which ensures a close and strong relationship between the writer and the reader. Something which can entail difficulties for reading comprehension, however, is that the form consists of meaning-bearing mathematical terms which it can be difficult to relate to. Since the mathematical language and the everyday Swedish language meet in text exercises, it is important that they interact well with each other.

2	Entre vocablos y volcanes : Dificultades terminológicas y formas de dirigirse al lector en un texto especializado para turistas. Ringmar, Ingrid Maria January 2015 (has links) This has paper has two main purposes: to analyze the translation of specialized terminology and ways of addressing the reader in a specialized tourist text in Spanish and its Swedish target text. The terminological difficulties on volcanism in the translation concerns the fact that the semantic field on this topic is diversified in the Canary Islands, contrary to the semantic field on volcanoes in Swedish. The theoretical background in this paper gives keys to describing the meaning of words in terms of connotation and denotation and describes how to use semantic components to solve the difficulties of terminology. The theory applied to the difficulties concerning ways of addressing the reader in the source text, explains the relation between the sender and the reader in terms of distance and closenes. The paper shows that the source text is inconsistent in this matter. To solve this task the translator has adopted a homogeneous way of addressing the reader, to achieve a target text loyal to the Swedish speaking reader and to consistency. The translation of tourist texts has been thought of as being an easy task, not demanding too much of its translators. This paper aims at showing that this is not the case. volcanic terminology tourist texts forms of addressing the reader interpersonal structure Teide National Park semantic field denotation connotation descriptive and functional components terminología geológica textos turísticos formas de dirigirse al lector estructura interpersonal Parque nacional del Teide campo semántico denotación connotación componentes descriptivos y funcionales
