The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is now a standard means of expressing object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD) for the Object Management Group since 1997. The UML is called a modeling language, not a method. That is, the modeling language is the graphic notation that methods use to express design. However, the principles or guidelines for each UML notation modeling are lacking and those are crucial for the UML modeling. To address this important issue, this study utilizes research and development method to investigate the guidelines for each UML notation modeling. An example of war game is used to illustrate the guideline and application. With these guidelines, analysts can more easily use the UML notations to express OOAD and thereby improve the efficiency and effectiveness of UML modeling.

The aim of this study is to examine if pupils in the grades 4 - 6 in one school follow Swedish written language norms. The focus on this study is on the Swedish pronouns de, dem and dom. The English equivalent of de and dem is they and them. In the Swedish language we also have the pronoun dom, that is mostly used in colloquial language. This is interesting because its known that pupils today struggle with differentiating de, dem and dom in the Swedish written language. For example, many pupils use colloquial language dom in written language. There is also an ongoing debate about this topic, which I will go more into later in this study. The reason this research is relevant, is because the last time pupils in middle school years 4 - 6 was examined was in the in the 70’s and as I said there is an ongoing debate about the Swedish pronouns de/dem/dom. One of the things that the debate is about, is whether de and dem should be replaced with the colloquial language form dom. The two questions I used to come to a conclusion are: • What pronoun functions do the pupils have difficulties with? (object, subject etc.) • Does the position of the pronoun in the sentence have an impact on what form the pupils use? (does dem/dem här and dom/dom här occur before or after the verb). To answer these questions, I use two cloze procedures. One from Hallencreutz (1980) and the second one is from Håkansson & Norrby (2003). A total of 66 pupils did the cloze procedures. It was 22 pupils from grades 4, 5 and 6 that engaged in this study. The results show that (46 %) of the pupils used the colloquial language dom in the test. When it comes to pronoun functions, a majority of the pupils (59%) failed on the object function. The results also show that the pupils in my study mixed wrong use of dem/dem här and dom/dom här. Sometimes it was used before the verb, and sometimes after the verb. There was no clear pattern that dem/dem här and dom/dom här came after or before the verb, although it is said that dem/dem här and dom/dom här should appear more often after the verb.

Les écrivains d’avant-garde des années 1970 (P. Guyotat, D. Roche, P. Sollers, C. Prigent...), souvent qualifiés d’illisibles, présentent de nombreux points communs tant dans leur pratique stylistique que dans leurs conceptions du langage. Si le « textualisme » de la seconde moitié des années 1960 ainsi que le « post-modernisme » du début des années 1980 sont bien connus, les expérimentations verbales de 1965-1985 sont peu étudiées dans leur spécificité et leur cohérence. Ce travail, qui s’appuie sur un corpus d’auteurs gravitant autour de trois revues (Tel Quel, Change et TXT) et de textes aussi bien théoriques que littéraires, entend donc prouver la consistance d’une langue littéraire propre à l’avant-garde d’une période que l’on pourrait qualifier de « post-structuraliste », héritant du structuralisme mais le déplaçant vers des enjeux plus littéraires. Cette langue littéraire ne saurait être envisagée sans être mise en relation avec l’imaginaire linguistique de l’époque – une pensée de la langue – dont les principales caractéristiques sont d’une part la conscience du caractère réducteur de la langue nationale et d’autre part la remise en question de la linguistique saussurienne. L’obscurité des textes, la déconstruction de la syntaxe et du lexique, la multiplication des néologismes ou des jeux de mots qui, en apparence, portent atteinte à la langue française, illustrent en réalité une volonté de panser la langue, de l’enrichir par la mise en valeur du signifiant, par l’emprunt aux langues étrangères ou encore par le rythme. L’œuvre de Guyotat, en particulier, condense ces enjeux, articulant un imaginaire de la langue et un travail langagier tout à fait singuliers. / The Francophone avant-garde writers from the 1970s (P. Guyotat, D. Roche, P. Sollers, C. Prigent...), often said to be unreadable, are quite similar both in their stylistical praxis and in their conception of language. If the “textualism” from the late 1960s and the “post-modernism” of the early 1980s are rather well-known, the verbal experimentations of the 1965-1985 period have not been much studied as a specific and coherent whole. This work, based on a corpus of authors linked to three journals (Tel Quel, Change and TXT) and on literary as well as theoretical texts, wishes to prove the consistency of the specific literary language shared by the avant-garde of a time that could be labelled “post-structuralist”, i.e. inheriting from structuralism but focusing more on literary issues. This literary language cannot be analyzed without taking into account the linguistic imaginary of the time, i.e. how language was thought. That linguistic imaginary is mainly characterized by a consciousness of how reductive the national language is and by questioning Saussure's linguistics. The obscure texts, the deconstructed syntax and lexicon, the multiple neologisms and puns, which seem to violate the French language, actually illustrate a desire to improve the language (and not only to think it), to enrich it by emphasizing the signifier through borrowed foreign words or rhythms. The work of Guyotat particularly condenses these issues as it articulates most singular linguistic imaginary and work on language.

O projeto tem por objetivo geral a investigação das práticas de sucesso e fracasso no ensino de Português na escola básica e na formação docente para essa disciplina. O estudo em questão traça o perfil de professores de Língua Portuguesa instaurado a partir de relatos discentes acerca das suas vivências mais marcantes no contato diário com essa disciplina. Para tanto, escolhemos como cenário investigativo 7 escolas estaduais do município de Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais, e tomamos, como sujeitos da pesquisa, 354 alunos do 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental e 2º ano do Ensino Médio. Esta pesquisa se configura como um Estudo de Caso e apresenta procedimentos quantitativos e qualitativos como método analítico. Como fundamento teórico central, elegemos contribuições advindas da Linguística Cognitiva (LAKOFF, 1987; LAKOFF e JOHNSON, 1999, 2002; JAKENDOFF, 2002; FAUCONNIER e TURNER, 2002; FILLMORE, 1979, 1982; GEERAERS & CUYCKENS, 2007; CROFT e CRUSE, 2004), em especial, de um dos seus modelos teóricos principais: a Semântica de Frames (FILLMORE, 1979, 1982; RUPPENHOFER et al, 2010; SALOMÃO, 1999) e seu projeto de anotação lexicográfica FrameNet (www.framenet.icsi.berkeley.edu). Para a análise hermenêutica, nos valemos de contribuições da Sociologia (BAUMAN, 2005, 2007, 2008a, 2008b, 2009, 2013; ALMEIDA et al, 2009), da Filosofia Educacional (FREIRE, 2011), além dos distintos olhares no campo da Ética e da educação cidadã (ARAÚJO, 2000, 2008; LA TAILLE, 2008; TOGNETTA , 2008; ABREU, et al, s.d.; COSTA, 2004; RIBAS, s.d; MORAN, 2007; MIRANDA, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2012b). A partir da categoria analítica central – o frame – conseguimos identificar as principais cenas conceptuais evocadas pelo discurso dos alunos. Sendo assim, foi possível estabelecerem-se duas redes hierárquicas de frames: uma delas composta por atos de linguagem expressivos (Avaliação do Comportamento Docente) e outra por atos de linguagem diretivos (Sugestão de Comportamento Docente). Cada uma delas apresenta, como foco, quatro tipos de comportamento docente, quais sejam: Práticas Pedagógicas, Práticas Interacionais, Comprometimento, Práticas Reguladoras e Punitivas. Dessa forma, percebemos que as avaliações positivas somaram a maioria, com 227 ocorrências (58%), contra 148 avaliações negativas (39%) e 4 neutras (3%). A partir das avaliações positivas e das sugestões, podemos identificar quais tipos de atitudes docentes são aprovadas e desejadas pelos alunos. A partir das avaliações negativas, ao contrário, conseguimos identificar as práticas rejeitadas pelos discentes. Salta aos olhos o desejo dos alunos por práticas pedagógicas mais competentes, além de mais democráticas e inovadoras, nas quais há um bom relacionamento afetivo entre educadores e educandos e o favorecimento do diálogo, de forma a garantir maior participação e maior protagonismo por parte dos discentes. Tais resultados revelam significativo comprometimento dos alunos com o processo de ensino-aprendizagem de que são partícipes, o que desmente expectativas via de regras negativas acerca da relevância da escola para tais sujeitos. O perfil do professor que desejam ou rejeitam é em tudo convergente com aquele ditado pelas vozes das autoridades da área que preconizam uma educação voltada para a formação de cidadãos mais críticos e autônomos. / This dissertation is linked to the macro project “Portuguese Language Teaching - from the college graduation to the school classroom” (FAPEMIG -CHE-APQ-01864-12) which is a part of the Linguistics and Language Teaching line of work, developed in the Linguistics Graduation School at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora. The project aims to analyse successful and failed practices in teaching Portuguese in elementary school as well as in teacher training for the same discipline. This research traced the profile of Portuguese teachers based on students‟ reports regarding their most memorable experiences in their daily routine in the discipline. Therefore, we have chosen seven public schools in the city of Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais, as an investigative background, as well as research subjects: 354 students in the 9th grade of Elementary School and 2nd year of High School. This research is configured as a case study and presents quantitative and qualitative procedures as its analytical method. As main theory we have used contributions from Cognitive Linguistics (LAKOFF, 1987; LAKOFF & JOHNSON, 1999, 2002; JAKENDOFF, 2002; FAUCONNIER & TURNER, 2002; FILLMORE, 1979, 1982; GEERAERS & CUYCKENS, 2007; CROFT e CRUSE, 2004), in particular, one of its major theoretical models: the Frames Semantics (FILLMORE, 1979, 1982; RUPPENHOFER et al, 2010; SALOMÃO, 1999) and it‟s lexicographical project FrameNet (www.framenet.icsi.berkeley.edu). For the hermeneutic analysis, we based on the contributions of Sociology (BAUMAN, 2005, 2007, 2008a, 2008b, 2009, 2013; ALMEIDA et al, 2009), Educational Philosophy (FREIRE, 2011), apart from different perspectives in the field of Ethics and citizenship education cidadã (ARAÚJO, 2000, 2008; LA TAILLE, 2008; TOGNETTA , 2008; ABREU, et al, s.d.; COSTA, 2004; RIBAS, s.d; MORAN, 2007; MIRANDA, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2012b). From the central analytical category - the frame - we can identify the main conceptual scenes brought by the students‟ ideas. Thus, it was possible to establish two hierarchical networks of frames: expressive language acts (teacher behaviour evaluation) and directive language acts (teacher behaviour proposal). Each of them presents four types of teaching behaviour: Pedagogical Practices, Interactional Practices, Commitment, and Punitive Regulatory Practices. Thus, we have noticed that the positive reviews were the majority, with 227 occurrences (58%) against 148 negative ratings (39%) and 4 neutral (3%). From the positive feedback and suggestions, we can identify which types of teaching attitudes were approved and desired by students and on the other hand, from the negative evaluations, we can identify practices rejected by students. The desire of students for more competent, more democratic and innovative teaching practices is remarkable, with a good emotional relationship between teachers and students, as well as to facilitate dialogue, ensuring greater participation and autonomy by students. These results reveal significant impairment of the students involved in the teaching-learning process, which contradicts negative expectations about the relevance of school for such subjects. The teacher profile desired or rejected converges to that expressed by experts in the field who advocate for an education which aims at preparing more critical and autonomous citizens.

The diploma thesis focuses on the so called "false friends" in contemporary Czech and Polish. Both languages are first introduced in the context of their linguistic and typological features as relevant to the subject of the thesis. Particular attention is paid to the differences between the two languages, and therefore possible language interferences. Furthermore, the paper discusses the issue of so called "false friends" and, based on the studies of E. Lotko, there were selected four types of false friends (grammatical (according to the grammatical gender of the noun), lexicographical, stylistic and valency false friends) and discussed more. Those lexical units are first characterized in general terms, and are then focused on the apecific "false friends" contained in the Common European Framework of Reference (levels A1-B1 for Czech as a foreign language). The second part of the thesis (based on the acquired theoretical knowledge) tries to design and recommend a methodology for working with so called "false friends" in the teaching of Czech as a foreign language to the target group of native Polish speakers. This includes worksheets for students as well as the methodology for teachers. Key words False friends, Interlanguage homonymity, Czech language, Polish language, Common European Framework of...

China's linguistic diversity is characterized by large diversity, featuring seven major dialect groups that are not mutually intelligible, each containing numerous subdialects. This complexity has led to the establishment of Standard Mandarin Chinese (SMC) as the official lingua franca to prevent communication challenges. The establishment of SMC, led to diglossia—using different dialects based on the context and setting. Furthermore, recent studies indicate a shift away from diglossia towards a dominant use of SMC, particularly among the younger generation, influenced by factors such as urbanization, migration, and language policies. This study explores language attitudes and family language practices focusing on SMC and the Xiang dialect, a lesser-studied dialect spoken in Hunan. The study examined two groups that conform to the diglossia of speaking Xiang and SMC, one permanently residing in Sweden and the other in Hunan. The study aimed to identify differences or similarities in their instrumental and integrative language attitudes and to determine how these attitudes influence language choice in a family setting. A qualitative approach was applied, using semi-structured interviews. The findings indicate that the group in Sweden holds weak instrumental attitudes towards the Xiang dialect, perceiving it as offering no practical benefits within the local Chinese community in Sweden. However, the respondents hold integrative attitudes, associating the dialect with a sense of local identity and pride. In contrast, participants in Hunan show a stronger connection to the Xiang dialect, expressing deeper integrative attitudes. Both groups, however, expressed strong instrumental attitudes towards SMC, valuing it for its educational and career benefits and its wide usage. In terms of family language practices, both groups generally choose SMC while speaking to their children, driven mainly by the practical advantages that SMC provides. / 中国的语言具有多样性的特点，当中包含七大主要方言群，这些方言群之间往往不具有相互理解性，每个方言群下还包含许多子方言。这种复杂性导致了普通话（SMC）作为官方通用语的确立，以防止沟通上的困难。普通话的确立导致了语言的双重使用现象——根据不同的语境和环境使用不同的方言。此外，最近的研究表明，尤其是在年轻一代中，从双语使用的情况改变以普通话为主导，这种变化是受到城市化、迁移和语言政策等因素的影响。 本研究探讨了普通话和一种较少研究的方言——湖南湘方言的语言态度和家庭语言实践。研究检视了两个群体，这两个群体都遵循使用湘方言和普通话的双语模式，其中一个群体常驻瑞典，另一个常驻湖南。本研究旨在识别他们在工具性和整合性语言态度上的差异或相似之处，以及这些态度如何影响在家庭环境中的语言选择。本研究采用了定性方法，使用半结构化访谈来收集资料。 研究发现，瑞典的群体对湘方言持有较弱的工具性态度，认为在瑞典的本地华人社区中，湘方言没有实际的用处。不过，受访者对湘方言持有整合性态度，将该方言与地方身份和自豪感联系起来。相比之下，湖南的参与者对湘方言有更强烈的联系，表现出更深的整合性态度。然而，两个群体都对普通话表达了强烈的工具性态度，重视其在教育和职业上的好处及其广泛的使用性。 在家庭语言实践方面，两个群体一般在与孩子交流时选择使用普通话，主要是由于普通话能给孩子提供的实际优势。

Bruhn (2008) and Griffiths (1978) have referred in passing to Messiaen's use of non-Western content as an appropriation, but a consideration of its potential moral and aesthetic failings within the scope of modern literature on artistic cultural appropriation is an underexplored topic. Messiaen's first encounter with India came during his student years, by way of a Sanskrit version of Saṅgītaratnākara (c. 1240 CE) written by the thirteenth-century Hindu musicologist Śārṅgadeva. I examine Messiaen's use of Indian deśītālas within a cultural appropriation context. Non-Western music provided a safe space for him to explore the familiar, and served as validation for previously held creative interests, prompting the expansion and development of rhythmic techniques from the unfamiliar. Chapter 1 examines the different forms of artistic cultural appropriation, drawing on the ideas of James O. Young and Conrad G. Brunk (2012) and Bruce H. Ziff and Pratima V. Rao (1997). I consider the impact of power dynamic inequality between 'insider' and 'outsider' cultures. I evaluate the relation between aesthetic errors and authenticity. Chapter 2 considers the internal and external factors and that prompted Messiaen to draw on non-Western rhythm. I examine Messiaen's appropriation of Indian rhythm in relation to Bloomian poetic misreading, and whether his appropriation of Indian rhythm reveals an authentic intention. Chapter 3 analyses Messiaen's interpretation of Śārṅgadeva's 120 deśītālas and its underlying Hindu symbolism. Chapter 4 contextualises Messiaen's Japanese poem Sept haïkaï (1962) in relation to other European Orientalist artworks of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, and also in relation to Michael Sullivan's (1987: 209) three-tiered definitions of japonism.
