Uppsatsen är en språkjämförande studie av svenskt och danskt spatialt prepositionsbruk. Den tar utgångspunkt i de tre prepositionerna på, i och till (til) som är identiska till formen i både svenska och danska och som därmed kan förväntas vara överensstämmande även i funktionen. Materialet utgörs dels av svenska och danska grammatikor, dels även av två romaner (en svensk och en dansk) och deras översättningar till respektive grannspråk. Målet har varit att undersöka hur prepositionerna används både som befintlighets- och riktningsmarkörer i förhållande till rekommenderat prepositionsbruk. Jag har även haft en förmodan om att det finns en viss divergens såväl som konvergens i det svenska och danska prepositionsbruket vilket jag har analyserat med hjälp av aspekter av den kognitiva semantiken. Jag har även sökt fastställa vilka svårigheter man kan påvisa ur ett översättningsperspektiv.             Resultatet av min undersökning visar att speciellt valet mellan i och på som befintlighetsmarkörer är problematiskt både inom respektive språk men även att det finns betydande skillnader mellan svenskan och danskan. Där på dominerar i svenskan gör danskan även stort bruk av i för befintlighet vilket ofta kan skapa interferens i ett översättningssammanhang. Ursprungsbetydelsen av i som varande inneslutande återfinns även i danskans bruk av denna preposition vid många tillfällen (till exempel i fraser som rör nöjeslokaler, fordon och institutioner) där på i stället dominerar i svenskan.  Divergerande bruk finner vi även i danskans val av till för befintlighet och ett väsentligt större bruk av ledsagande rumsadverb både vid befintlighets- och riktningsmarkering. Både forskningslitteratur om grannspråken och den svensk-danska lärobokslitteraturens framställning av ett oproblematiskt och konvergerande prepositionsbruk har därmed visat sig något missvisande och uppsatsens resultat pekar i stället på att fler språkjämförande studier i svensk-danskt prepositionsbruk behövs.

Written notation has a long history in many musical traditions and has been particularly important in the composition and performance of Western art music. This study adopted the conceptual view that a musical score consists of two coordinated but separate communication channels: the musical text and a collection of composer-selected performance marks that serve as an interpretive gloss on that text. Structurally, these channels are defined by largely disjoint vocabularies of symbols and words. While the sound structures represented by musical texts are well studied in music theory and analysis, the stylistic patterns of performance marks and how they acquire contextual meaning in performance is an area with fewer theoretical foundations. This quantitative research explored the possibility that composers exhibit recurring patterns in their use of performance marks. Seventeen solo piano sonatas written between 1798 and 1913 by five major composers were analyzed from modern editions by tokenizing and tabulating the types and usage frequencies of their individual performance marks without regard to the associated musical texts. Using analytic methods common in information science, the results demonstrated persistent statistical similarities among the works of each composer and differences among the work groups of different composers. Although based on a small sample, the results still offered statistical support for the existence of recurring stylistic patterns in composers' use of performance marks across their works.

An increasing number of people are turning to online blogging communities devoted to self-change for smoking, shopping, and other behaviors. To understand processes underlying effective self-change, the current project tracked the language and social dynamics of a dieting blog community using computerized text analysis. Three research questions were asked: What predicts weight loss in blogs? What changes in blogging predict weight loss? Can we predict dropping out or successful weight loss based on the first two entries? A community of blogs devoted to weight loss was examined (n = 2530). Most bloggers were female, and on average, around 30 years old, approximately 200 pounds, with a goal weight of about 140 pounds. A sample of blogs by females that had blogged at least 15 entries within the first 15 weeks of blogging resulted in a total of 186 blogs, representing over 9,200 entries for analysis. Computerized text analysis was used to examine language for rates of self-focus, emotionality, cognitive processing, keeping food diaries, and social support. Rates of blogging were assessed by word counts, number of active weeks, and mean entries per week. Social support was assessed through the use of social words, the size of the social network, along with the positivity and negativity of the comments. The discrepancy between start and goal weight was also assessed. The results suggested that having larger weight loss goals and blogging about personal events was a more effective weight loss strategy than keeping an online food intake diary. The degree to which bloggers were socially integrated with the blog community was found to be a potent predictor of weight loss. Online components of behavioral treatment programs could encourage dieters to browse and comment on other dieters’ progress, and to share personal narratives rather than simply focusing on the benefits of food intake diaries, nutrition, and exercise. The current project points to the power of computerized text analytic tools to address important theoretical and practical social psychological issues that are evolving on the internet. Specifically, language analysis methods can identify which dimensions of blogging communities can help or hinder self-change processes. / text

This diploma thesis deals with the Italian terminology of the Justice System. The work is divided into two parts. In the first part, the author focuses on the description of the special language, methods of his research, translational methods and problems of the translator. It describes also the Czech and Italian system of justice and defines the semantic field of the terminology of the Justice System that she will work with. In the second part she works with a selected sample of keywords compiled by the created corpora. The sample is divided into a several groups according to the semantic classification. The aim of the thesis is to review the existing Czech translations, if need be propose her own translations and recommend the translation that should be registered in a bilingual dictionary. The Czech-Italian and Italia-Czech vocabulary and the semantic dictionary is the supplement of this thesis.

Ao refletir sobre essas questões e problematizá-las sob o viés da análise linguística, esta pesquisa propõe alternativas de associar o ensino de gramática às práticas discursivas sociais. Tendo como locus investigativo turma de sexto ano do ensino fundamental II de escola pública e a sala de aula de Língua Portuguesa, este projeto associa o ensino de classes de palavras, especificamente o substantivo e o adjetivo, aos gêneros textuais conto e conto parodiado com exploração da capacidade de leitura, escuta e produção textual escrita e oral do aluno. O principal objetivo deste projeto, de caráter intervencionista na sala de aula, é, partindo do gênero conto e conto parodiado, explorar a função das categorias substantivo e adjetivo na construção textual, apresentando essas classes de palavras de forma contextualizada. Para isso, reflete-se sobre como elas atuam na construção das sequências narrativas e descritivas no conto e conto parodiado, considerando os critérios mórfico, semântico e funcional, e como atuam na oralidade, através da contação de histórias, sob o aspecto pragmático. Acredita-se que contextualizar a gramática no aprendizado da língua materna, apropriando-se de práticas de análise linguística com ênfase na reflexão e no uso, faça sentido para o estudante para além da escola, criando condição de participação eficiente e consciente do indivíduo nas práticas sociais de linguagem. Para tanto, esta dissertação fundamenta-se nas perspectivas de ensino de gramática abordadas por Antunes (2014) e Neves (2002, 2015); de análise linguística com Franchi (1991), Geraldi (1997, 2010, 2014), Mendonça (2006) e Bezerra e Reinaldo (2013); de análise do ensino de classes de palavras por Pinilla (2007), Perini (2001, 2006) e Bagno (2011); de gêneros textuais com Schneuwly & Dolz (2004); da metodologia da pesquisa-ação com Thiollent (2006), Desroche (2006), Morin (2004) e Elliott (1997) e de práticas de análise linguística em livros didáticos com Sigiliano & Silva (2017). A aplicação da intervenção, com princípios da sequência didática, e os dados de produções escritas e orais dos alunos revelaram avanços no tocante à apropriação do gênero conto e conto parodiado e do uso das classes de palavras substantivo e adjetivo para a construção de sequências narrativas e descritivas, confirmando a hipótese inicial de que o ensino da gramática contextualizada e reflexiva, percorrendo atividades linguísticas, epilinguísticas e metalinguísticas contribua para um aprendizado que proporcione ao aluno maior habilidade em suas práticas linguísticas escolares e não escolares. / The development of this project considers the teaching of Portuguese in Brazilian public schools; the work with normative grammar, which has presented a range of perspectives; the performance of teachers, divided on the issue of teaching grammar or not, how to teach and what to teach; the perspectives of grammar presented in didactic books, and the official guidelines on the teaching of Portuguese language. By reflecting on these issues and problematizing them under the bias of linguistic analysis, this research proposes alternatives to associate grammar teaching with social discursive practices. Having as the investigative locus sixth grade class of Elementary school of public school and the Portuguese language classroom, this project associates the teaching of word classes, specifically the noun and the adjective, to the textual genres short story and parody short story with regard to the reading, listening, writing and speaking skills of a leaner. The main goal of this interventionist project in the classroom is, starting from the genres tale and parody short story, to explore the function of the categories noun and adjective in the construction of the textual genre, presenting such word classes in a contextualized way. In order to achieve this, it is reflected on how they act in the construction of the narrative and descriptive sequences in the short story and the parody short story, considering the morphic, semantic and functional criteria, as well as how they act in orality, through storytelling, under the pragmatic aspect. It is believed that contextualizing grammar in the learning of the mother tongue, appropriating linguistic analysis practices with an emphasis on reflection and use, makes sense for the student beyond the school, creating a condition of efficient and conscious participation of the individual in the language social practices. Therefore, this research is based on the grammar teaching perspectives addressed by Antunes (2014) and Neves (2002, 2015); linguistic analysis by Franchi (1991), Geraldi (1997, 2010, 2014), Mendonça (2006) and Bezerra and Reinaldo (2013); analysis of word classes teaching by Pinilla (2007), Perini (2001, 2006) and Bagno (2011); textual genres by Schneuwly & Dolz (2004); action-research methodology by Thiollent (2006), Desroche (2006), Morin (2004) and Elliott (1997) and also linguistic analysis practices in textbooks by Sigiliano & Silva (2017). The application of the intervention, with principles of the didactic sequence, as well as the data of the written and oral production of the students revealed advances in regards to the appropriation of the genres short story and parody short story but also the use of the word classes noun and adjective for the construction of the narrative and descriptive sequences, confirming the initial hypothesis that the contextualized and reflective grammar teaching, through linguistic, epilinguistic and metalinguistic activities, may contribute to a learning process which is able to provide the students a greater ability to their school and non-school language practices.

The present thesis is focused on what linguist Anna Wierzbicka defined as the characteristic features of Japanese language in relation to expressing emotions verbally, which is the essence of expressivity. The research is based on a Japanese speakers' conversations corpus created for the purposes of this thesis and which takes into account factors such as age, social status, gender and various circumstances in which the dialogues are taking place. The thesis examines the area of rather negative emotions. The primary aim of the thesis is to verify the assumptions made by Wierzbicka on the characteristics of Japanese using language analysis of the corpus, and adjust her findings as the case may be. In addition, the thesis will investigate and summarize the most prominent language strategies and means used in expressive communication by Japanese speakers and to determine possible socio-linguistic or cultural factors involved.

Cette thèse a pour objet de rapprocher la notion de « style » telle qu’elle est employée d’une part en linguistique et de l’autre en sociologie. Elle veut apporter un éclairage sur le rôle que peut jouer le linguiste dans la compréhension des phénomènes sociaux. Pour cela, une enquête par entretiens nous a permis de constituer un corpus étoffé, comportant une grande variété d’exemples, rendant ainsi possible l’analyse de styles sociaux et discursifs dans leur diversité. A cet effet, nous mobilisons la notion de « style », à l’origine réservée à l’écriture, mais qui, aujourd’hui, connaît un usage extensif. Nous distinguons deux acceptions récurrentes, esthétiques et pragmatiques, à partir desquelles nous proposons notre propre définition applicable à des productions langagières orales. Le concept sociologique de « style de vie » constitue un élément central de ce travail. Ce concept définit le style de vie à partir de « libres choix » des individus. Nous interrogeons le rapport entre le discours direct et le « style », envisagé d’un point de vue sociologique (un « vecteur » de style) ou linguistique (un procédé stylistique). Par ailleurs, nous analysons les structures langagières « préformées » ou « préfabriquées » dont l’emploi relève, comme l’utilisation du discours direct, d’un procédé stylistique, car c’est le locuteur qui choisit librement ce mode d’expression. Nous plaidons ainsi pour une meilleure prise en compte des phénomènes langagiers par la sociologie, en particulier celle des styles de vie, le linguiste contribuant aussi à la compréhension de l’Homme en tant que locuteur et acteur social. / The objective of this doctoral dissertation is to bring together the different ideas of “style,” as employed in linguistics and sociology. Its intention is to shed light on the role that the linguist can play in understanding social phenomena. To do so, my interview-based investigation constitutes a large and various study, making possible an analysis of diverse social and discursive styles. To this effect, I’ve employed the concept of “style,” originally confined to writing, but which currently has an extensive use. I distinguish two recurrent meanings, the aesthetic and pragmatic, from which I propose my own definition applicable to oral language productions. The sociological concept of “life style” constitutes a central element of this work. This concept defines life style as based on the free choice of individuals. I interrogate the relationship between direct discourse and style envisioned from a sociological point of view (a “vector” of style) or a linguistic perspective (a stylistic process). Moreover, I analyze “preformed” or “prefabricated” language structures whose use is deployed as a direct discourse from a stylistic process, for it is the speaker who can freely choose this mode of expression. This dissertation thus argues for a better understanding of language phenomena through sociology, in particular thatof life styles. The linguist contributes also to human understanding while being a speaker and social actor.

The topic of this thesis is the linguistic analysis of the Apollonius of Tyre novel contained in the Pinvicka collection, which comes from the second half of the 15th century. During the creation of the thesis is used especially the qualitative textual analysis, which is in the major part of the thesis supplemented by the quantitative statistical analysis. Opening parts of the thesis represent general information about the Pinvicka collection, in which is contained the analysed literary landmark, and about the literary landmark itself. Follows the detailed analysis of the orthography and of all linguistic layers, i.e. phonology, morphology, syntax and word formation. Every linguistic layer and the orthography are elaborated in a separate chapter. At the end of each chapter is the summary of the achieved results, which includes also charts and tables. In the chapter, which is devoted to the orthography, is primarily payd attention to the speech sounds, for which is typical disunited way of transcript. In the phonological part are treated phonic changes, which are realized in the text. The morphological part of the thesis is concerned with representation of word classes and particulary with grammatical cathegories of nouns and verbs. In the chapter, which treats syntactic plane, are analysed compound...

La présente thèse est une étude des fonctions et des formes du discours rapporté (DR) en allemand oral à partir de deux corpus audio : des entretiens biographiques et des spectacles comiques. Après une discussion théorique préliminaire portant sur les conceptualisations classiques du phénomène de DR et les théories modernes, inspirées de Bakhtin/ Vološinov, nous envisageons le DR comme une stratégie dont les emplois sont à appréhender au niveau du discours afin de décrire les formes qu’il prend à l’oral. En nous appuyant sur les théories de syntaxe fonctionnelle, nous partons du principe que le discours oral peut s’analyser en unités de communication identifiées comme des gestes/paragraphes oraux, constitués d’une ou plusieurs propositions réalisant un acte de prédication principal. L’analyse s’effectue à deux niveaux : au niveau global du discours, et à l’intérieur du geste/paragraphe à l’échelle inter- et intra-propositionnelle. Dans un premier temps, une analyse énonciative et rhétorique permet de dégager les valeurs discursives du DR dans les deux corpus. Cette analyse met en évidence l’importance de l’usage figuratif de la stratégie de DR en tant que mise en scène explicite de polyphonie énonciative. Dans un deuxième temps, nous analysons l’intégration discursive et syntaxique du DR dans le geste/paragraphe et au niveau de la proposition, en examinant la démarcation du propos rapporté (ou mis en scène) au sein du geste/paragraphe, son rôle dans l’acte prédicatif, et les éléments lexicaux employés pour le situer et le composer. L’analyse révèle que l’aspect figuratif de nombreux DR explique une bonne part des agencements syntaxiques et de l’usage de lexèmes composant le discours rapporté à l’oral souvent non décrits dans les ouvrages de référence de l’allemand standard. / This study based on two corpora of oral communication (interviews and stand up comedy shows) investigates the functions and forms of reported speech in spoken German. We first present the classical and modern conceptualizations of reported speech as found in grammars of the German language, linguistic typology and in the more recent theories of J. Authier-Revuz, L. Rosier, and linguists of the interactional sociolinguistics and conversation analysis orientation (D. Vincent, S. Günthner, D. Tannen), all of which can be seen as inspired in some way by the views of Bakhtin/Vološinov. Following their footsteps, we argue that reported speech can be seen as a discourse strategy that explicitly stages polyphony and the layering of voices within discourse and therefore must be investigated with respect to its rhetorical effects. Adopting the perspective of the functional theories of syntax, we see oral discourse as a process whose product can be divided in moves (M) and discourse acts, expressed by propositions as predication units within the move. The study of reported speech must therefore be analyzed on two different levels: at the discourse level we seek to evaluate the rhetorical and pragmatic effects achieved by the use of (mostly direct) reported speech in the two corpora. Then we describe the role played by reported speech in the predication at the inter- and intrapropositional level within the move. As the discourse analysis shows, reported speech in informal oral communication can be a highly figurative device. This aspect of the use of reported speech accounts in part for specific syntactic constructions that have not always been taken into account in the grammars of standard German.

This diploma thesis deals with football television commentary since 1970s to present days. In theoretical part it examines its development and two crucial domestic representatives of this genre - Vít Holubec and Jaromír Bosák. The greatest emphasis is placed on verbal chracteristics of their commentary and usage of language means. That is the reason why this diploma thesis also contains Czech language theory that sums up the specifics of football commentary and explains them on actual examples. The practical part contains detailed analysis of four selected football matches. The aim of this work is to compare TV football commentary from 1970s, 1980s and 1990s with its current conception through comparative language analysis.
