    Iconicity and poeticity in the discourse functions of figures of speech2011In: Selected papers from the 2008 Stockholm Metaphor Festival / [ed] Christina Alm-Arvius, Nils-Lennart Johannesson & David Minugh, Stockholm: Department of English, 2011, p. 95-137Chapter in book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This qualitative study deals with the nature of poeticity and iconicity and their role in the discourse functions of figures of speech: schemes and tropes. The concept of poeticity is that of Roman Jakobson. The poetic function is a particular kind of meaning which is created from language-internal material. It is found in rhythmic schematic repetition and more deliberate tropes whose poetic qualities seem foregrounded and aesthetically designed. Accordingly, they will have rhetorical and mnemonic potential. Moreover, poetic uses will have a monistic character, as their form and meaning will fuse, and this may make it difficult to translate and paraphrase them. Metonymic instantiations and conventional, entrenched metaphors will not be noticeably poetic, but the semantic status of a given use will be a result of more specific discourse factors. The poetic function can interact with factually descriptive, affective, and interpersonal meanings, which are extra-linguistically oriented, as well as with meaningful textual structuring. Poeticity is found in many different text types. It will be a global organisational feature in poetry, but tends only to occur locally in prose. In addition, prototypical iconicity concerns motivated similarity between a linguistic form and the kind of phenomenon out in the world that it represents. However, iconicity has also been used about the similarity relation between e.g. a metaphorical meaning and its source. Iconicity and poeticity often occur together, and they will strengthen and help to foreground each other’s characters.

    Metaphor and Metonymy2008In: Selected Papers from the 2006 and 2007 Stockholm Metaphor Festivals / [ed] N.-L. Johannesson & D. Minugh, Stockholm: Acta Universitatis Stockholmiensis , 2008, 2, p. 3-24Chapter in book (Other (popular science, discussion, etc.))
    Abstract [en]

    In this article metonymy and metaphor are described in relation to the notion of poetic meaning, the definitional feature shared by all types of figurative uses. Even if both these types of tropes will draw on encyclopaedic experiences, or pre- or extra-linguistic cognitive complexes, they are also formed in relation to established structures in a language system. In other words, their occurrence shows how intertwined linguistic knowledge and experientially based cognition will be. Moreover, it is arguable that at least “fully alive” metaphors will have a more noticeable poetic and figurative character than metonymic uses. The reason for this is that a metaphor brings together domains that are felt to be similar in some respect, although they are also clearly different. In this imaginative coalescence many features in the source are suppressed, and a kind of “fake” superordinate category is created: the generalised target meaning. It spans both the ordinarily concrete source and some other phenomenon, often something more abstract. The poetic or figurative character of metonymies is by comparison more inconspicuous, presumably because they constitute descriptive or referential shortcuts in relation to just one meronymically structured domain or chain of contiguous domains.

    Metaphor and Other Modes of Meaning Extensions2010Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    A key mechanism of metaphorical extension is the suppression of central features or conceptual and structural constraints in a usually concrete and literal source meaning. It involves a selective restructuring of the content and will foreground features that tend to be peripheral, or even just connotative, in the source.

    But there are also meaning extensions that cannot be considered figurative, even if this – as far as I know – has not been discussed much in semantics literature. (Cf. Alm-Arvius 1993:27f) This talk will exemplify and analyse non-metaphorical extensions with similar or at least comparable semantic changes, and compare them with metaphors. In this way metaphorical extension can be positioned within a wider spectrum of semantic processes that seem to be based on or proceed from literal sources by partial suppression and restructuring of their contents. This ought to provide us with more general insights into meaning variation and its inter-relation with cognitive and behavioural capacities in humans that appear crucial for what we are and how we construct and maintain conceptual structures and cultural practices.

    The analytical dimensions we will look at are

    • the contrast between semantic contents – literal or metaphorical – that describe phenomena in the real world and those that deal with things in some merely imaginary situation (cf. other possible worlds)
    • the (related) contrast between different types of world views, in particular pre-scientific, religiously coloured world views and the kind of world view that arose with the enlightenment and the development of modern science
    • the contrasts between factually oriented descriptions, metaphors connected with them, and emotive outbursts

    Using these contrastive dimensions as our distinctive criteria, we can analyse the difference between meanings in examples like the following.

             1)      Inanimate things like walls cannot see and hear. (Factual claim)

                      These walls can see and hear. (Metaphorical, about a real-world situation)

                      If these walls could see and hear … (About a conceivable but merely imaginary situation)

             2)      Horses cannot fly. (Factual claim)

    The horse flew faster than the wind. (Metaphorical, if used about a real-world situation)

    We would like to see that horse develop wings and fly. (Metaphorical? Or about a merely imaginary situation?)

    A pegasus is a horse with wings that can fly. (A mythological creature)

             3)      That woman is a witch. (Are there witches in the real world, or should this use of witch be understood metaphorically? Cf. That woman is like a witch.)

             4)      We stepped into a pile of dog shit. (Literal sense; cf. dirt or excrement)

                      The Internet is shit. (Metaphorical)

                      Oh shit! (Exclamation)

    Comparative analyses of such examples should, for instance, help us to enquire into how logico-empirical conceptions will be formed, how metaphors help us to deal with actual phenomena, how myths are created and live on, or why emotions have commonly been described as abstract, and in need of metaphorical representation, in spite of their direct experiential or bodily character.

    Semantics and Pragmatics

     

    Abstract:

    Meanings in natural language use can be either systematic or incidental, but all the same it does not appear possible to identify a set of consistent and non-contradictory criteria for distinguishing two general contrasting meaning categories termed semantics and pragmatics respectively. Instead the most valid theoretical description seems to be to include any possible meanings of a language, or its use, in the qualitative notion of semantics, and, in addition, recognise the occurrence of incidental pragmatic meaning variations and additions. In other words, semantics is the wider or superordinate category, encompassing all and any language meanings, while pragmatics is a smaller, subordinate category, including only situationally induced or personally variable meaning aspects.

     

    Key words: deixis, implicatures, pragmatics, presuppositions, reference, semantics, semantics of understanding, speech acts, truth-conditional semantics

    Trolls2012In: Metaphor in Use: Context, culture, and communication / [ed] Fiona MacArthur; José Luis Oncins-Martínez; Manuel Sánchez-García; Ana M. Piquer-Píriz, Amsterdam: John Benjamins Publishing Company, 2012, p. 309-327Chapter in book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The persistent occurrence of the noun troll in Swedish indicates that it is a culturally entrenched notion in Sweden as well as in other Scandinavian countries. The aim of this chapter is to explore the use of troll in modern Swedish and to show how culturally-entrenched concepts, and the attitudes that are associated with them, are integrated in the language of a speech community as part of its heritage. The noun has a complex and variable sense potential, and both literal and metaphorical uses of the noun are attitudinally coloured, although these attitudes may be ambiguous and even contradictory. Using linguistic evidence gathered from dictionaries and Internet sources, this chapter describes and discusses the rich and partly antithetical set of attitudes expressed by the conventional and novel metaphorical expressions that draw on this Scandinavian mythological concept, and briefly compares Swedish uses of troll with those found in English, finding that even though the word is used also in this comparatively closely related language, it is devoid of the rich cultural associations of the donor term.

    El ascenso de la soja en Paraguay: Un estudio de la demanda mundial por la soja2008Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [es]

    La producción de soja ha crecido significativamente durante un periodo de 6 años en Paraguay llegado a una cosecha record de 6,2 millones de toneladas en 2007. Este aumento se debe a factores globales como la demanda creciente por la soja para la Unión Europea que va destinada a la producción del biocombustible. El objetivo de este estudio ha sido investigar cual fue la causa que conllevo al aumento de la producción de soja en Paraguay. Con la ayuda de principalmente dos publicaciones, Republicas Unidas de la Soja que es una compilación de ensayos sobre las consecuencias sociales, económicas y ecológicas de la expansión de los monocultivos de soja en Latinoamérica y Refugiados del Modelo Agroexportador que es una publicación de los resultados de una investigación en las comunidades sojeras del Paraguay. Llegamos a la conclusión de que si existe una coherencia entre la demanda mundial por el biocombustible y el aumento de producción de soja.

    La lengua materna y el material pedagógico en un contexto bilingüe: Un análisis de las actitudes de los escolares y profesores ante el idioma materno, la cultura latina y los libros pedagógicos que se utilizan en la enseñanza de la lengua materna en Suecia2010Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (One Year)), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [es]

    El propósito de esta investigación es estudiar las actitudes de los escolares y los profesores ante el idioma materno y los libros didácticos que se utilizan en la enseñanza de la lengua materna. En las clases de español se observa que los grupos de alumnos son diversos y heterogéneos en edad y conocimientos del idioma, lo que, probablemente, produce dificultades didácticas y perjudica el aprendizaje del alumno. Además, se supone que el material didáctico utilizado en la enseñanza no es apto para los escolares hispanos inmigrantes en Suecia y se piensa que esto afecta negativamente el interés por la lectura de los alumnos. Los profesores de este estudio plantean la necesidad de un material que pueda apoyar de manera más efectiva el desarrollo lingüístico del escolar inmigrado en Suecia. Para llevar a cabo este estudio se ha realizado una investigación con cuestionarios que han sido repartidos a un grupo de profesores y estudiantes de diferentes escuelas en Estocolmo. Los resultados muestran actitudes positivas ante la lengua materna y negativas ante los libros pedagógicos que se utilizan en la enseñanza, primeramente por parte de los profesores.

    Identitetsproblematik i romanen The American Granddaughter av Inaam Kachachi: En narratologisk analys2021Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    The purpose of this essay is to examine how conflicting identities associated with exile or diaspora is depicted in modern Iraqi literature, in this case in the novel The American Granddaughter by Inaam Kachachi. The story of the novel takes place during the Iraq War 2003-2006, and the protagonist is the holder of two identities as an Iraqi-American woman who is participating in the war as an interpreter. The situation of war results in a hostility between these nationalities even though the nations Iraq and the USA are not each other’s adversaries. This hostility brings about a sharp tension that causes brutality to escalate and this affects the protagonist as an Iraqi-American as her identity is being questioned and she experiences that her dual identity is becoming a problem. The protagonist serves as a vessel of the essence of the conflict of identities. Based on Jonas Stier’s theoretical concepts of identity (Stier, 2019) I will explore how the protagonist’s dual identity is constructed and the way this duality changes due to her experiences in the war and the circumstances she is being exposed to. By using Gérard Genette’s narratological concepts I will examine how the identity issue is presented in the novel, what is it caused by and what the consequences are.

    La cultura sueca traducida al español: Un análisis de la traducción al español de la novela "Låt den rätte komma in"2010Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [es]

    El objetivo del presente trabajo es investigar y analizar la traducción al español de la novela “Låt den rätte komma in” de John Ajvide Lindqvist, con el enfoque en los elementos de la cultura sueca. Aunque la traductología es una disciplina relativamente nueva en el campo de la ciencia, ya se han desarollado una multitud de teorías, y por tanto hay varios posibles puntos de partida para hacer un análisis. Tomamos el nuestro en la teoría del skopos de Reiss y Vermeer, que es apta para clasificar los modos de traducir y para analizar la intención de la traductora. Defendemos la hipótesis de que la traductora habrá usado las estrategias de traducción filológica y comunicativa, para lograr un texto terminal que es adaptado a las necesidades de los lectores de la cultura meta. Para realizar la investigación comparamos las partes del texto original que contengan elementos culturales relevantes con el texto terminal y hacemos un análisis en cada caso. Concluimos que la traductora ha usado más las estrategias de traducción literal y filológica, aunque a veces usa la estrategia literal a costa de la coherencia del texto terminal.

    Fidelity in High Fidelity: A Study of the Effects of Cultural Adaptation2010Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    The purpose of this study is to compare the novel High Fidelity with its film adaptation, with the same name, and on different levels find what has been changed and what has been retained when changing the setting from the UK to the US. Adapting a novel into a film can in other terms also be described as an intersemiotic translation. The main focus has been the culture related differences as well as an attempt to see if a pattern is found in the way the novel has been adapted and then which pattern the Swedish subtitles follow. In doing this we will find out how faithful the adaptation has been to the original novel, and then how faithful the Swedish subtitles have been to the film. By examining the Extralingustic Cultural References that occurred in both novel and film it showed that the strategy which was most commonly used was retention, i.e. keeping the foreign element in the translation. In the subtitles this proved to be even more common, with very few cases of direct translation. The film adaptation of the novel was domesticating and the subtitles were foreignizing in respect to the film.

    Aprender a escribir en los niveles iniciales de ELE: Un análisis de manuales del nivel A2 para el diseño de una propuesta didáctica2016Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 20 credits / 30 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    This paper aims to analyse the presence of written expression activities in Spanish as a Foreign Language textbooks designed for adults in a pre-intermediate level (A2). Moreover, the purpose is to examine the approach which is used in relation to two key aspects of the written composition: the discourse genres and the writing process. With this objective, we compile data using an analysis template that is completed with information from five textbooks from different Spanish publishers after 2006. According to the data collection, there is a prolific presence of written expression activities in the analysed textbooks. Regarding the genres of discourse, the textbooks place relevance to the explicit practice of the following aspects: the communicative context, the audience and the purpose. However, a low presence of model texts for the students to use for their own compositions is also noted, as well as a virtually non-existent reflection of the model texts' structure and characteristics. As far as the writing process is concerned, the textualization is the process with more presence in the analysed textbooks, whereas planning and reviewing are marginalised with a lower occurrence. To the same extent, we would like to emphasize the low relevance of revision, especially that among peers. Taking into account the results and based an eclectic approach to the teaching of written expression, we present a teaching proposal for an A2 level in which the discourse genre and the writing process are dealt with explicitly, as well as we intend to encourage collaborative writing.

    Este trabalho é uma análise da alternância entre /l/, /r/ e/d/ na linguagem de comunidades latino-americanas de forte presença africana ouafrodescendente. Os dados examinados provêm de uma série de estudos linguísticosanteriores e fontes literárias em espanhol e em português que incluemrepresentações da fala de africanos e seus descendentes. Duas perguntasnorteiam o presente estudo: Quais são os fonemas que se “confundem” e em queposições? Até que ponto a “confusão” é frequente nas variedades em questão? Apartir destas perguntas discutem-se explicações para esta mudança baseadas emdados que apontam seja para a deriva ou evolução natural das variedadesibéricas, seja para o contato entre línguas ibéricas e africanas. A análise dosdados revela que alguns destes fonemas são trocados de forma sistemática emposições específicas unicamente em variedades de espanhol e português queevoluíram em contato com línguas africanas.

    A língua de Camões com Iemanjá: Forma e funções da linguagem do candomblé2004Doctoral thesis, monograph (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    The present thesis addresses the relationship between the structure and social functions of language through the study of an Afro-Brazilian Portuguese speech community. The adopted methodological, analytical, and theoretical standpoints have their origin in linguistic anthropology, social psychology of language and discourse analysis. A set of data was collected during extensive fieldwork in Salvador (Brazil), and consists of recordings of informal conversations with and between followers of Candomblé, an Afro-Brazilian religion.

    Focusing on the communicative process in a specific communicative setting, the linguistic analyses illustrate the relationship between language and identity by examining theway in which expressions of African origin function as identity markers. In order to connect such Africanisms used by Candomblé followers in their everyday speech with the linguistic attitudes and ideologies found in Brazilian society throughout history, an interdisciplinary approach was called for and factors that affect the speech community’s ethnolinguistic vitality were explored. Linguistic attitudes and ideologies that have influenced group vitality were analyzed in the socio-political context (or macro-context). At the same time, the purpose was to understand communication within the sacred space of Candomblé by examining issues such as changes in linguistic forms and functions in the communicative situation (or microcontext).

    Apart from revealing patterns of communication in Candomblé communities, the results of the analyses show how linguistic changes such as re-Africanization are triggered by changes of attitudes in society. These changes affect speakers’ identities and language use within speech communities.

    Africanismos léxicos en la historia lexicográfica de Uruguay: acepciones, usos y etimologías2021In: Revista de Lexicografía, ISSN 1134-4539, Vol. 27, p. 7-34Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This article studies words of African origin with a lexicographic record in Uruguay, focusing on two chronological extremes: the first dictionary published in Uruguay in 1890, Vocabulario Rioplatense Razonado, and the most recent, Diccionario del Español del Uruguay, from 2011. It describes the journey of 14 lexical items through Uruguayan lexicography eliciting variants, derivatives, meanings, brands and information on their origin and use. It verifies if they have been collected in the Portuguese lexicography and presents possible etyma in African languages. To conclude, it highlights that most of the words appear in the most recent dictionary, that they are of Bantu origin and that they probably entered Uruguayan Spanish through Portuguese. It also notes that some of them are not far from their original meaning, while others have evolved in a distinct way in Uruguayan Spanish.

    A history without borders: lexicon of African origin in Uruguay and Brazil

    This volume brings together a series of studies aimed at analyzing the presence of African lexical items in Latin American varieties of Iberoromance languages on both sides of the Uruguayan-Brazilian border. The first chapter introduces the historical perspective and the following articles present results from the linguistic research conducted by the participants of the international research project Afro-Latin Linguistics: language contact in intercultural settings. The two editors, Laura Álvarez López and Magdalena Coll, are also coordinator and co-coordinator of the project. The general aim of this research group is to increase the current knowledge about intercultural encounters and their impact on the dynamics of language and culture by studying language change in socio-cultural contexts where speakers of Spanish, Portuguese and African languages have lived side by side.

    Rosa Montero y la memoria colectiva de España: Importancia de la memoria colectiva en “La loca de la casa”2010Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [es]

    En este trabajo nos proponemos analizar tres diferentes versiones de una misma historia que le sucede al alter ego de la escritora y periodista española Rosa Montero a mediados de los años setenta. La historia, en sus tres versiones, es contada por este alter ego en la novela La loca de la casa (2003). Nuestro objetivo es demostrar la importancia que la memoria colectiva de España ha tenido para la memoria individual del narrador personaje. Los hechos que le suceden a este alter ego de Montero no habrían tenido lugar si en la España de los años setenta del pasado siglo no hubiesen ocurrido ciertos acontecimientos que los españoles de la generación de la escritora recuerdan muy bien, y que hoy forman parte de la memoria colectiva de la nación. Con la ayuda de este estudio veremos cómo la autora juega con la historia de su vida, mostrándonos que las cosas no siempre son lo que aparentan en el mundo de la literatura. También vamos a analizar el papel de algunos de los personajes secundarios del libro, de gran importancia para el análisis. Hay que subrayar que hemos optado por centrarnos en las partes más autobiográficas de la novela, ya que estas son las que más tienen que ver con la memoria y la imaginación. En este análisis penetramos el mundo de la memoria y la literatura y, al mismo tiempo, el del olvido.

    Eliciting Empathy with William Golding’s Lord of the Flies2019Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (One Year)), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    Some literature creates fictional worlds similar to the one we live in and others create worlds that are very different from ours. By inviting us to identify with characters, literature raises empathy. 

    William Golding’s novel Lord of the Flies is viewed by many as an emotional novel that can make its reader feel fear, confusion, empathy and anger, which makes it a useful tool to use when teaching about empathy. Developing empathy is an important process and while we cannot teach empathywe can evoke empathy using literature. According to the Swedish curriculum, students should be able to empathize with and understand the situation of other people. This study will analyse and present the ways in which William Golding’s novel Lord of the Flies can be employed to cultivate empathy using different hypothesis and techniques suggested by Suzanne Keen, and with a lesson plan given at the end of this essay. This essay argues that Lord of the Flies cultivates empathy using the character of Piggy. The passages where Piggy is bullied are closely interpreted, as well as passages with Ralph, Simon and Jack. The analysis show that Piggy’s vulnerability makes him the victim. Readers tend to empathize with characters that show a vulnerable side or that are treated unfairly. Piggy’s role in the narrative is to make readers feel empathy because of the way he is portrayed, a fat boy with short hair and bad eyesight. The lesson plan presented at the end of this essay will show how these passages can be used by teachers.
