Les tables du Lexique-Grammaire, dont le développement a été initié par Gross (1975), constituent un lexique syntaxique très riche pour le français. Elles couvrent diverses catégories lexicales telles que les verbes, les noms, les adjectifs et les adverbes. Cette base de données linguistiques n'est cependant pas directement exploitable informatiquement car elle est incomplète et manque de cohérence. Chaque table regroupe un certain nombre d'entrées jugées similaires car elles acceptent des propriétés communes. Ces propriétés ont pour particularité de ne pas être codées dans les tables mêmes mais uniquement décrites dans la littérature. Pour rendre ces tables exploitables, il faut expliciter les propriétés intervenant dans chacune d'entre elles. De plus, un grand nombre de ces propriétés doivent être renommées dans un souci de cohérence. Notre objectif est d'adapter les tables pour les rendre utilisables dans diverses applications de Traitement Automatique des Langues (TAL), notamment l'analyse syntaxique. Nous expliquons les problèmes rencontrés et les méthodes adoptées pour permettre leur intégration dans un analyseur syntaxique. Nous proposons LGExtract, un outil générique pour générer un lexique syntaxique pour le TAL à partir des tables du Lexique-Grammaire. Il est relié à une table globale dans laquelle nous avons ajouté les propriétés manquantes et un unique script d'extraction incluant toutes les opérations liées à chaque propriété devant être effectuées pour toutes les tables. Nous présentons également LGLex, le nouveau lexique syntaxique généré des verbes, des noms prédicatifs, des expressions figées et des adverbes. Ensuite, nous montrons comment nous avons converti les verbes et les noms prédicatifs de ce lexique au format Alexina, qui est celui du lexique Lefff (Lexique des Formes Fléchies du Français) (Sagot, 2010), un lexique morphologique et syntaxique à large couverture et librement disponible pour le français. Ceci permet son intégration dans l'analyseur syntaxique FRMG (French MetaGrammar) (Thomasset et de La Clergerie, 2005), un analyseur profond à large couverture pour le français, basé sur les grammaires d'arbres adjoints (TAG), reposant habituellement sur le Lefff. Cette étape de conversion consiste à extraire l'information syntaxique codée dans les tables du Lexique-Grammaire. Nous présentons les fondements linguistiques de ce processus de conversion et le lexique obtenu. Nous évaluons l'analyseur syntaxique FRMG sur le corpus de référence de la campagne d'évaluation d'analyseur du français Passage (Produire des Annotations Syntaxiques à Grande Échelle) (Hamon et al., 2008), en comparant sa version basée sur le Lefff avec notre version reposant sur les tables du Lexique-Grammaire converties.

The aims of this thesis were to describe the experiences of persons with aphasia and their significant others of their conversations and use of communication strategies, examine current practice of family-oriented speech-language pathology (SLP) services, and test a family-oriented intervention in the early phase of rehabilitation. The persons with aphasia valued having conversations despite perceiving their aphasia as a serious social disability. They acknowledged the importance of the communication partners’ knowledge and understanding of aphasia and their use of supporting conversation strategies. Their own use of communication strategies varied considerably. The persons with aphasia longed to regain language ability and to be active participants in society. A majority of the significant others perceived their conversations with the person with aphasia as being less stimulating and enjoyable than conversations before stroke onset. Aphasia was considered a serious problem. The significant others took on increased communicative responsibility, where two thirds had changed their communicative behaviour to facilitate conversations. Type and severity of aphasia were especially related to the communicative experiences of the significant others and their motivation to be involved in SLP services. Thirty percent of the speech-language pathologists worked with people with aphasia and typically met with their families. They considered the involvement of significant others in SLP services as very important, especially in providing information about aphasia and communication partner training (CPT). However, involvement of significant others was restricted because of a time shortage and perceived limited skills and knowledge. In addition, there were national differences regarding aphasia rehabilitation services. The intervention consisted of three sessions directed to significant others (primarily emotional support and information) and three directed to the dyads (a person with aphasia and a significant other) (primarily CPT). All six participants (three dyads) felt that their knowledge and understanding of aphasia had increased and that their conversations had improved. These improvements were also evident to some extent with formal assessments. These results suggest the following: CPT should be an integral part of SLP services, national clinical guidelines are needed, and further education of speech-language pathologists and implementation of new knowledge into clinical practice requires consideration.

<p>Usually contexts for learning are chosen by adults without conferring with learners at any point. The present study investigated learners&rsquo / preferences for contexts to use in learning school mathematics. Furthermore the study sought to establish motivations learners have for preferring particular contexts. The problem the study addressed was that of absence of learners&rsquo / contribution in contexts used to learn mathematics. The aim was to find out the contexts learners preferred and the reasons they gave for their preferences. It is important to be aware of learners&rsquo / preferences when choosing contexts to use in teaching. Preferences improve motivation and learning. Furthermore, consulting them sends a message that they matter and have an important role to play in their education.</p>

Abstract Title: “My social extension” – Twelve girls on the relationship with the mobile phone (“Min sociala anknytning” – Tolv tjejer om relationen till mobiltelefonen) Number of pages: 42 (43 including enclosure) Author: Mattias Köhlmark Tutor: Göran Svensson Course: Media and Communication Studies D Period: Spring semester 2006 University: Division of Media and Communication, Department of Information Science, Uppsala University. Purpose/Aim: To investigate the emotional aspect of mobile phones and the source of those emotions. Material/Method: The data presented stems from three unstructured focus groups with participants at the age of 16-19 years. Main results: The key findings largely supports Vincents theories that the emotional language guided towards mobile phones comes from the friends it allows us connect with. Also emancipation can be seen as a driving force behind these emotions. Keywords: mobile phone, mobility, absent present others, emancipation, cell phone, emotion, emotional language,

Thirty years after its initial implementation, China’s one child per family policy has been undeniably successful statistically speaking. Over 400 million births can be estimated to have been prevented, and the birth rate per family has lowered from 2.47 in 1979 at its implementation, to 1.6 most recently in 2010. These numbers cannot be ignored. However, attributing this success to the policy restrictions alone would be viewing it outside of the context of a thirty year evolution of substantial social, political, cultural, and economic changes which have completely changed the face of China. This paper examines the far reaching effects of the one child policy as it is informed by Foucauldian post structuralist theory which defines power as productive, and re conceptualizes the policy as that which is a crucial manifestation of rising biopolitically strategic forms of governmentality which enhance nations through the subjugation, enhancement and creation of the bodies of their subjects. Critical to China’s case is rising ‘non-resistant’ behaviors and attitudes which not only comply with, but actively agree with the one child policy limitations once considered abhorrent. This paper complicates the logic behind the rise of these ‘non-resistant’ attitudes, by suggesting that they are evidence to the fact that this ‘modern’ Chinese subject is the productive outcome of several discourses which proliferated in the last thirty years during the juxtaposed implementation of both economic reforms and family planning limitations. This paper chronicles two of the productive discourses involved in the making of this newly emergent ‘modern’ Chinese subject: the culturally productive discourse involved in the care and feeding of ‘little emperors‘ and the socially exclusive discourse with paints the rural population as internal ‘rural others’.

För att anhöriga och personer med afasi ska kunna etablera en fungerande vardag harkunskap om och förståelse för afasi visat sig viktig. I tidigare studier har anhöriga tillpersoner med afasi visat sig sakna relevant kunskap om och förståelse för afasi som debehöver för att etablera en fungerande vardag. Logopediska insatser som är riktadedirekt till anhöriga är relativt ovanliga i Sverige. Syftet med denna studie är att utifråndata från litteratur och intervjuer utforma frågor, så kallade item, som på ett tillförlitligtsätt kan mäta kunskap om och förståelse för afasi hos anhöriga till personer med afasi.Tre fokusgrupper bestående av anhöriga till personer med afasi, personer med afasi ochlogopeder användes för insamlande av intervjudata. Intervjudatan analyserades genomkvalitativ innehållsanalys. Från analysen framställdes sju kategorier med tillhörandeunderkategorier. Kategorierna låg till grund för utformningen av item. Sammanlagt har140 stycken item utformats. Dessa item var av två typer; item bestående av en 6-gradigLikert-skala och item av typen Multiple Choice. Vidare indelades item beroende påvilka svar som kan erhållas . Item med önskvärda svar( typ A) och situations- ochindividberoende item (typ B) som syftar till att ligga till grund för samtal mellananhörig till person med afasi och logoped.. De kategorier och item som studienresulterat i uppvisar samstämmighet med tidigare studier som fokuserat på anhöriga tillpersoner med afasi. Samstämmigheten tyder på att de item som inkluderas i ett framtidaformulär har möjlighet att kunna mäta av kunskap och förståelse hos anhöriga tillpersoner med afasi. För att framtagna item ska kunna resultera i det tilltänkta formuläretkrävs ytterligare validering, reliabilitetstestning och urval. / Previous studies have shown that significant others to persons with aphasia are in needof increased knowledge and understanding of aphasia. The knowledge andunderstanding for aphasia has shown to be crucial to significant others in terms ofpsychosocial well-being and to be able to establish a satisfying everyday life. PresentSpeech-language pathologist services in Sweden tend to have limited involvement ofsignificant others to persons with aphasia. This study aims to design a number ofquestions, items, which will be able to measure the knowledge and understanding ofaphasia for significant others of persons with aphasia. The items result from literaturestudies and semi-structured interviews with significant others to persons with aphasia,persons with aphasia and speech-language pathologists. Transcripts from interviews areanalyzed through content analysis. The study results in 140 items presented in sevencategories, each with a number of sub-categories. Two types of items are designed:items in the form of a 6-point Likert Scale and items in the form of Multiple Choice.The items are also divided depending on whether the answer is knowledgde-based (typeA) or to be used as material for discussion (type B). The categories and items from thisstudy are consistent with previous research. To transform the items into a completequestionnaire, further validation, testing of reliability and selection is needed.

Syfte: Att undersöka vilket stöd närstående haft behov av från sjuksköterskor inom akutsjukvård och intensivvård vid anhörigs sjukdom och vilket stöd sjuksköterskor trodde att närstående hade behov av. Metod: Studien genomfördes som en litteraturöversikt. Artiklar söktes i databaserna PubMed och Cinahl. I studiens resultat ingick 13 artiklar med både kvalitativ(n=7) och kvantitativ(n=6) ansats som sammanställdes under olika teman. Resultat: Redovisades i fyra teman; CCFNI, Information, Delaktighet och Bemötande. Närstående och sjuksköterskor ansåg att de mest centrala behoven innefattade information, delaktighet och bemötande. Att få rak och ärlig information och att närstående var delaktiga samt att de blev bemötta med respekt och empati visade sig vara det viktigaste från både närstående och sjuksköterskors perspektiv. Slutsats: Vid anhörigs sjukdom behöver närstående stöd framför allt i form av information, bra bemötande och att få känna sig delaktiga i vården av den anhörige. Denna uppfattning delas av sjuksköterskor inom akutsjukvård och intensivvård. Som sjuksköterska bör man tänka på att ge rak och ärlig information, låta närstående vara delaktiga i den mån de själva vill samt att alltid ge så bra bemötande som möjligt.

<p>Religious observance has been reliably shown to improve a wide variety of health outcomes across the lifespan. Significant work has already been done to find mediating processes that explain this relationship, but as yet no studies have been published that attempt to integrate these mediators into a single model to see if they all work together. The current study presents three possible mediators of the religiosity-health link: social support, self-control, and reliance on others. Participants were recruited from Amazon.com’s Mechanical Turk worker system (N = 112) for a 14-day diary study in which all relevant constructs were measured on a daily basis, with daily health behaviors being the outcome. Social support, self-control, and reliance on others were all found to be simultaneous partial mediators of the religiosity-health link, though some questions remain as to the causal flow between religiosity and each of these mediators. It is concluded that each of these mechanisms is related to religiosity and in turn aid in the pursuit of superior health.</p> / Dissertation
