Den tryckta annonsens förlängda arm : En studie i hur ett utvidgat kommunikationsutrymme skapas genom den tryckta annonsen / The extended arm of the printed ad : A study in how a room with extended communication is created through a printed advertisementAndersson, Dennis, Magnusson, Lisa January 2012 (has links)
The foundation of our study is five strategically selected printed advertisements which all contains signs that refer to digital medias. Through a quality content analysis, we are studying how advertisers may use a room with extended communication too enlarge the space given in a printed advertisement. The potential in these rooms are proposing a social connection and a flexible interaction by providing content that is not possible to create in a printed advertisement. The form of communication is changing and there is a two-way communication created in an obvious way. The different kinds of roles in the communication process are here partially integrated with each other. The receiver and sender are included in a cyclic model where the message transfers in different directions. This kind of free form of communication may result in an effective diffusion of a positive message. It may also cause the sender to loose control of the message, which may lead to the initial purpose being lost or changed.

I blinkning till / With a Wink toHammare, Vilma January 2020 (has links)
This bachelor essay departs from my artistic development over time. The text reflects on the transformation from story based painting rooted in memories towards a work focused on construction and materiality. This essay examines this transformation in relation to chosen references and tries out the term intertextuality in an attempt to understand my own work today. In doing so, this text seeks to explore the informal dialogue between artistic works.

Namn och referens : Evans’ och Dickies kausalteorier / Name and reference : The causal theories of Evans and DickieMäkinen, Malena January 2019 (has links)
Denna uppsats handlar om namn och referens. Syftet är att jämföra Gareth Evans’ kausalteorimed Imogen Dickies. Efter en introduktion kommer jag att undersöka hur teorierna förklararhur en talare introduceras in i en namnanavändningspraxis, att objekt kan byta namn och attobjekt kan ha en oklar referens.Evans menar att egennamn får sin referens genom en grupp producenter för att sedananvändas i en namnanvändningspraxis i samhället. Producenterna är garanter för att namnetrefererar till objektet, eftersom de kan identifiera objektet såsom känt som NN. En gruppkonsumenter ansluter till producenternas namnanvändningspraxis, med avsikten att refereratill objektet som NN. Så länge som objektet är den dominanta källan till talarens tankar, hadedessa tankar objektet som sin referent.Dickie visar att Evans’ teori har svårt att förklara vissa exempel och föreslår en förbättradteori. Hon definierar principen om referens och berättigande, som, tillsammans med hjärnansbehov att representera, bildar en ram för referensfixering. Dickie identifierar tre grupper avnamnanvändare och visar att de fixerar sin referens på olika sätt. Producenterna genomutpekande, de parasitiska konsumenterna till vemhelst resten av gruppen talar om, och dedeltagande konsumenterna genom en försiktig upptagning av strömmar av vittnesbörd somsammanstrålar på objektet. Så länge som denna upptagning styrs av objektet, handlartrosuppfattningarna om objektet, och fixerar på så sätt referens.Jag hävdar att Dickies teori är en förbättring, även om det finns problem som behöver lösas. / This essay is about proper names and reference. Its purpose is to compare Gareth Evans’causal theory with Imogen Dickie’s theory of fixing reference. After an introduction, I willexamine how the theories deal with a speaker’s introduction into a proper-name-usingpractise, that objects can change their names and that an object can have an unclear reference.Evans claims that a proper name gets its reference to an object via a group of producers andthen it is used in a proper-name-using practise in the community. The producers guarantee thereference of the name to the object, because they can identify the object known as NN. Agroup of consumers picks up the name-using practise from the producers, with the intention torefer to the object as NN. As long as the object is the dominant source of the speaker’sthoughts, these thoughts have the object as their referent.Dickie shows that Evans’ theory has difficulties in explaining certain examples and proposesan improved theory. She defines the principle of reference and justification which, combinedwith the mind’s need to represent, gives a framework for reference-fixing. Dickie identifiesthree groups of name-users and shows that they fix their reference in different ways. Theproducers by demonstration, the parasitic consumers to whoever the rest of the group istalking about, and the participating consumers by a careful uptake from testimony streamsthat converge on the object. As long as this uptake is governed by the object, the body ofbeliefs is about the object, thus fixing reference.I argue that Dickie’s theory is an improvement, although there are some problems that need tobe resolved.

<em>Han</em>, <em>denne</em> och <em>han eller hon</em> : Om generiska pronomen i juridisk myndighetstextLundbäck, Lotta January 2009 (has links)
<p>In this paper, generic reference in a collection of juridical texts is examined, with focus on third person singular pronouns. The object of the study is to find out which generic pronouns occur in the material along with their relative distribution, but also to display further use patterns and to offer plausible explanations for these patterns. Another object is to evaluate whether the use of generic pronouns corresponds with language planners’ recommendations for non-sexist language. The corpus studied consists of <em>Rikspolisstyrelsens författningssamling</em> (“Statute Book of the Swedish National Police Board”), comprising 172 documents written between 1974 and 2009.</p><p>The study is divided into two parts. In the quantitative part, the occurrence of generic pronouns in the material is studied, as well as changes in distribution over time. In the qualitative part, the use of the pronouns is more closely examined, with regard to specific referents and textual contexts.</p><p>The main findings are as follows. Only three out of seven examined generic pronouns appear in the material. The gender neutral <em>han eller hon</em> and the masculine <em>denne</em> are predominant, while the masculine <em>han</em> is relatively scarce. Seen over time, <em>han</em> has diminished considerably whereas <em>han eller hon </em>and <em>denne</em> have increased greatly. A general feature of the material is that the use of pronouns is inconsistent, but several patterns, overlapping each other, are nevertheless discernible. The use of generic pronouns does not entirely correspond with language planners’ recommendations. It is true that linguistic directives and initiatives seem to have had a direct or indirect impact on the material, which appears from an increased and extended, sometimes even surprising, use of <em>han eller hon</em> (for instance regarding referents within the police field and referents associated with weapons), as well as from a decreased and limited use of <em>han</em>. However, <em>denne</em> is still prevalent, possibly as a substitute for the disdained <em>han</em>, and on the whole masculine reference is prevailing in the material.</p>

Om egennamns konnotation : i stort mot Russell, i smått mot Kripke / On Connoting Proper Names : in general against Russell, against Kripke in particularThorn, Johan January 2015 (has links)
Together with an basic assumption of the main thesis of the theory of singular direct reference, this paper formulates two original theses grounded in the Kripkean notion of proper names. Regarding the assumption of the main thesis, efforts have been made to explicitly explain its essence as a reactionary theory against the description theory of proper names, a theory mainly due to Bertrand Russells (1905) influential article "On Denoting". Grounded in Russell, outlining the fundamental idea of proper names as abbreviated or disguised definite descriptions, this paper moves forward through the critiques of Strawsons (1950) "On Referring", Donnellans (1966) "Reference and Definite Descriptions" and Kripkes (1977) "Speaker's Reference and Semantic Reference". With the historical background in place, in accordance with Salmons (1982) "Reference & Essence" the arguments against the theory of descriptions for proper names are put forward, which leads to the assumption of the mentioned main thesis. Regarding the papers more original theses, the first of these distinguishes between different kinds of proper names depending on whether or not they refer to an object capable of cognitive functioning. The main thrust of this paper is however made through the formulation of the second thesis, as it is being aimed at challenging Kripke's Millian notion of all proper names as being non-connoting. However, in contrast to this view in accordance with the view being put forward in this paper, cognition-referring proper names are connoting. Additionally, a finishing discussion is supplemented concluding descriptions of such connotations as being questions for pragmatism.

Actuality-dependence, Natural Kind Terms and Reference FailuresNygren, Karl January 2014 (has links)
This essay investigates Haukioja's (2010) notion of actuality-dependence. This notion is an attempt to explain the rigid behaviour of some kind terms; in particular natural kind terms like “water” and “tiger”. A definition of rigidity for kind terms has to take in account speakers' semantic intentions. This, together with the fact that actuality-dependence can only be applied successfully to a kind term if the members of its extension all share an underlying, non-trivial property, makes the notion of actuality-dependence face the problem of reference failures. A speaker's intention for a certain term to be actuality-dependent might fail, in the sense that the members of the kind picked out by the term in question lack underlying properties of the right sort. Three ways to solve this issue are shown to be unsatisfactory, ultimately leading to the conclusion that actuality-dependence cannot be the semantic feature that single out natural kind terms as semantically special.

Surf and turf, builder’s mug och Jaffa cakes : Översättningsstrategier vid svensk undertextning av kulturspecifika referenser i anglofona matlagningsprogram / Surf and Tur, Builder's Mug and Jaffa Cakes : Transwlation Strategies in Swedish of Culture Specific References in Anglophone Cooking ShowsHagander, Sara January 2016 (has links)
Mat, språk och kultur är tätt sammanlänkade, och i matlagningsprogram förekommer en rad olika sorters kulturspecifika referenser. Kulturspecifika referenser definieras som ”any reference to a cultural entity which, due to its distance from the target culture, is characterized by a sufficient degree of opacity for the target reader to constitute a problem” (Mailhac i Ranzato 2015:54) och kan vara sådant t.ex. som måttenheter (pint), märken (Tabasco) och maträtter (surf and turf). Denna undersöknings fokus är översättningen av kulturspecifika referenser i matlagningsprogram, och eftersom merparten av de matlagningsprogram som översätts för svensk tv är på engelska består denna studies material av 21 engelskspråkiga matlagningsprogram och deras svenska översättningar. De matlagningsprogram som undersökts är Det goda livet, Jamie Olivers smarta rätter, David Roccos ljuva matresa – Italien, Kitchen Hero och Hela England bakar. Genom att att konstruera en korpus och analysera de kulturspecifika referenserna har normerna för översättningsstrategier gällande kulturspecifika referenser i matlagningsprogram kartlagts, och jämförts med resultaten från Pedersens välkända undersökning av primetime-TV (2011). Resultaten kategoriserades sedan enligt Pedersens taxonomi. Resultaten visade att normerna för matlagningsprogram liknade dem för primetime-TV, trots att det fanns ett par domänspecifika skillnader. Eftersom språk formar hur vi ser världen är det intressant att se hur kulturspecifika referenser översätts från en kultur till en annan, eftersom det formar hur den kulturen ses och värderas, eller åtminstone dess matkultur. / Food, language and culture are closely linked and cooking shows are peppered with culturally specific references. Culturally specific references are defined as “any reference to a cultural entity which, due to its distance from the target culture, is characterized by a sufficient degree of opacity for the target reader to constitute a problem” (Mailhac in Ranzato 2015:54) and can be things such as measurements (pints), brands (Tabasco), and dishes (surf and turf) to name a few. This study focuses on the translation of culture specific references in cooking shows. Since most of the cooking shows translated into Swedish are in English, the material for this study consists of 21 cooking shows in English and their Swedish translations. This study will look at the shows 3 good things, Save with Jamie, David Rocco’s Dolce Vita, Kitchen Hero and The Great British Bake off. By constructing a corpus and analyzing the culturally specific references, the norms regarding translation strategies for the translation of culturally specific references in cooking shows have been mapped out, and compared to the results of a well known study on primetime TV by Pedersen (2011). These were categorized in accordance with Pedersen’s taxonomy (2011:76). The results showed that the norms were very similar to those of primetime TV, with the exception of some domain-specific norms. Language influences how we see the world. Thus, the way culturally specific references are translated from one culture into another is important because it affects how cultures are viewed and interpreted, at least within the food community.

Analysis of Accuracy for Engine and Gearbox SensorsDogantimur, Erkan, Johnsson, Daniel January 2019 (has links)
This thesis provides a standardized method to measure accuracy for engine and gearbox sensors. Accuracy is defined by ISO 5725, which states that trueness and precision need to be known to provide a metric for accuracy. However, obtaining and processing the data required for this is not straight forward. In this thesis, a method is presented that consists of two main parts: data acquisition and data analysis. The data acquisition part shows how to connect all of the equipment used and how to sample and store all the raw data from the sensors. The data analysis part shows how to process that raw data into statistical data, such as trueness, repeatability and reproducibility for the sensors. Once repeatability and reproducibility are known, the total precision can be determined. Accuracy can then be obtained by using information from trueness and precision. Besides, this thesis shows that measurement error can be separated into error caused by the sensors and error caused by the measurand. This is useful information, because it can be used to assess which type of error is the greatest, whether or not it can be compensated for, and if it is economically viable to compensate for such error. The results are then shown, where it is possible to gain information about the sensors’ performance from various graphs. Between Hall and inductive sensors, there were no superior winner, since they both have their strengths and weaknesses. The thesis ends by making recommendations on how to compensate for some of the errors, and how to improve upon the method to make it more automatic in the future.
