    Educators of deaf and hearing interpreting students as agents of change: challenging the curriculum2024In: The Interpreter and Translator Trainer, ISSN 1750-399X, E-ISSN 1757-0417Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Educational systems change in top-down and bottom-up processes. One example is when authorities introduce a new curriculum, but it can also be changed by agents active in the system. In education, agents of change include educators, students and institutions. In this article, we explore the narratives of educators (n = 4) in the bachelor’s programme for signed language interpreter education (both deaf and hearing students) at Humak University of Applied Sciences in Helsinki, Finland. Data were collected through interviews conducted in 2016. We used content analysis and the theory of agency as a framework for analysis. Here, agency is understood as threefold building on the past, present and future. We explore the different dimensions of becoming an agent of change, being an agent of change and being an agent in a changing field. We find that within the context of this sign language interpreting programme, educators’ previous experiences, intercultural competence and ideas about the future contribute to changes in the curriculum and possibly to social change.

    Global or glocal heroes in PJs? A multimodal analysis of female superhero and villain depiction in dubbed children’s animation2024In: Perspectives: Studies in Translation Theory and Practice, ISSN 0907-676X, E-ISSN 1747-6623, Vol. 32, no 2Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The impact of globalization on children’s media is often hotly debated. While some proponents welcome global media to broaden children’s horizons, some opponents warn for the potentially negative effects of an increasingly ‘Disneyfied’ culture (Davies, 2004). More recently, several language and media scholars have noticed a growing counter-movement of cherishing ‘the local’, but also ‘the glocalization’ of global media (Roudometof, 2016). This relationship between the global and the local is at the core of our dubbing analysis. With a methodology informed by Social Semiotics and Translation Studies, the Swedish and Dutch dubbed versions of the internationally distributed Disney series PJ masks are analyzed. In our comparative analysis of the Swedish and Dutch dubbing, we use multimodal transcription grids to study how the series’ female superhero and villain are portrayed multimodally through spoken language, visuals, sound and (to some extent) voice, focusing on diversity, gender and agency. Our findings show that the Dutch and Swedish dubbed versions can be considered ‘glocal’ artefacts resulting from a global product that is imported and localized in both language areas. The analysis reveals interesting (non-)shifts in character depiction related to diversity, gender and agency, but also in the semiotic interplay between the different multimodal modes.

    Interdisciplinarity in translation studies: a didactic model for research positioning2024In: Perspectives: Studies in Translation Theory and Practice, ISSN 0907-676X, E-ISSN 1747-6623Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The seminal role of the Holmes/Toury map within translation studies has led to its use as a didactic tool although neither scholar envisaged this purpose originally. This paper proposes a complementary didactic model to reveal the interdisciplinary layers of research projects after positioning them on the Holmes/Toury map. A critical overview of how maps have evolved from descriptions of the field to having didactic purposes is given, and criticism of the Holmes/Toury map is reviewed to demonstrate its importance for the first positioning of a work. An investigation of eight sample theses indicates the current interdisciplinary research trends and suggests the need for a more refined didactic tool. The proposed model is introduced as a way to fill an evident gap. Its aim is to help students and researchers position their own and other academic work within translation studies to gain deeper awareness in this regard. By presenting a general model for researchers' use, its concrete application to two cases – a book-long and a shorter publication – and a discussion of its strengths and weaknesses, I argue that it is a useful didactic tool for obtaining a clearer overview of the interdisciplinarity typical for research in translation studies.

    Introduction: Universities and the Matter of Mattering2024In: Making Universities Matter: Collaboration, Engagement, Impact / [ed] Pauline Mattsson; Eugenia Perez Vico; Linus Salö, Cham: Springer Nature, 2024, p. 1-10Chapter in book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In this introductory chapter, we provide insights into the debates that inspired this volume. Our aim is to extend the boundaries of the concept societal interaction and discuss the conditions for universities to undertake such endeavors. Within this context, we introduce the matter of “mattering” which serves as the central theme that runs through this volume. Mattering, we posit, can be comprehended through three key concepts: collaboration, engagement, and impact. We outline how each concept contributes to an increasing understanding of the manifold ways in which mattering can be grasped and achieved. Furthermore, we provide an overview of the coherent set of individual chapters that, separately or jointly, deal with the three concepts. Through these chapters, this volume aims to make a valuable addition to the evolving literature that explores how universities can expand their impact beyond conventional higher education missions. Collectively, these chapters cover the context of the mattering of universities and draw on various empirical data sources, mainly from Sweden but also internationally. Within this compilation of inquiries, we shed light on the multifaceted impact of universities on societies, exploring the mechanisms, contexts, and temporal dimensions of their contributions to advancing knowledge and addressing societal challenges.

    Is mother tongue instruction culturally empowering?2024In: Educare, ISSN 1653-1868, E-ISSN 2004-5190, p. 45-61Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In this paper, I formulate a position on the dissemination of ‘cultural empowerment’ in schools through a critical discussion of its relation to my research field, mother tongue instruction (MTI) in Sweden. In addition, I compare the ideals of the culturally empowering pedagogies and praxis of MTI, which I see as related through the underlying utopian visions of the multilingual and multicultural school. Both are forms of education which place a focus on the validity and importance of students’ individuality and their pre-existing knowledges from outside the curriculum. In discussing the marginalisation of MTI via the discourse of its threat to ‘Swedishness’, I hope to highlight some of the underlying problems inherent in cultural empowerment as an individualising practice carried out within the universalising framework that is the state education project. The implementation of MTI demonstrates a need for change targeted not only at the level of teachers and researchers but also at a level where legitimacy is granted to such change.

    Making Universities Matter: Collaboration, Engagement, Impact2024Collection (editor) (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In an era of rapid change and increasing societal demands, the role of universities as knowledge producers and catalysts for change has come under scrutiny. This open access book offers a fresh perspective on the significance of universities in society, shedding light on how their knowledge can truly matter beyond academia.

    Drawing upon insightful inquiries from both the Swedish and international contexts, this volume delves into the multifaceted interactions between universities and various knowledge users, emphasizing the need for scholars to reflect on how their knowledge can become useful and applicable to wider society.

    Organized into three compelling themes, collaboration, engagement, and impact, this book explores the concept of "mattering". Together and jointly, they point at the fluid movement of scholars and scholarly knowledge across academic, political, and public spaces, and the intentional actions of scientists to leverage their expertise for real-world impact. 

    Essential reading for social science and humanities scholars, university management professionals, and individuals keen on a critical understanding of the evolving role of universities, this volume offers a comprehensive examination of how universities have mattered, continue to matter, and can shape the future.

    Sources of Policy: Knowledge Brokering in Governmental Reports2024In: Making Universities Matter: Collaboration, Engagement, Impact / [ed] Pauline Mattsson; Eugenia Perez Vico; Linus Salö, Cham: Springer Nature, 2024, p. 185-210Chapter in book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This chapter explores indirect, text-based knowledge brokering through a study of Swedish governmental reports, known as Statens offentliga utredningar (SOUs). To this end, we endeavor to gauge the impact of knowledge uptake in their sources as displayed in their reference lists. Because SOUs are the outcome of commissions, we seek to position this feature of Swedish policymaking culture as an overlooked yet vital enabling condition for productive science–policy interaction where scholars and their knowledge can matter. However, doing so effectively requires a better understanding of the characteristics of impactful knowledge objects and the dynamics required to make them effective. Our analysis shows that the lion’s share of the references cited in the SOUs studied can be classified as gray literature and are published in Swedish. This suggests that scholars wanting to matter in a policy context may consider other routes besides the predominating genre of the peer-reviewed journal article in an English-language journal. Further implications of these findings are discussed vis-à-vis recent conceptualizations of agency in knowledge brokering as a lens through which to view collaborative impact in the future.

    The (non-)ageing of non-retranslations? The alleged ageing of Swedish non-retranslations2024In: Translation Studies, ISSN 1478-1700, E-ISSN 1751-2921, Vol. 17, no 1, p. 53-69Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Recently, scholars have pointed to the need for exploring non-retranslations, i.e. translations that are continuously being published in a target culture but not retranslated. Yet, there has not been a thorough examination of the phenomenon to date. This article aims to explore this phenomenon in greater depth by reporting on a pilot study from a bibliography on Swedish non-retranslations. More specifically, the article investigates the concept of (alleged) ageing in relation to fourteen Swedish non-retranslations that have been published, in the same translation, in more than ten editions over the course of 45–87 years. The non-retranslations are discussed through the parameters of publication history, agents of non-retranslations, and textual features. The article’s findings contradict some established views regarding the (alleged) ageing of texts as a motive for retranslation and complement others.

    Valorizing the Humanities: Impact Stories, Acting Spaces, and Meandering Knowledge Flows2024In: Making Universities Matter: Collaboration, Engagement, Impact / [ed] Pauline Mattsson; Eugenia Perez Vico; Linus Salö, Cham: Springer, 2024, p. 211-232Chapter in book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Despite its proven societal value, humanities knowledge tends to be marginalized in research policy; this has been a topic of debate for some time. In this chapter, we focus on the valorization of humanities knowledge, with the aim of comprehending the way this process engenders societal impact. We argue that historical impact stories offer an effective methodological approach for a deeper understanding of such valorization and its subsequent impact. Drawing on three humanities research cases from Sweden, we propose that valorization and impacts of humanities knowledge should be seen as processual and as influenced by societal actors who determine the premises and condition the somewhat unpredictable nature of such impacts. We introduce two concepts: (i) acting space, which involves access to collaborators, audiences, and channels that enable knowledge valorization, and (ii) meandering knowledge flows, which provides insight into the uneven and hard-to-predict nature of valorization. Through these concepts, we wish to provide a better and more nuanced understanding of how knowledge valorization in the humanities unfolds. By doing so, we hope to support humanities scholars to find ways of articulating their own modes of mattering.

    Boundaries of belonging: Language and Swedishness in contemporary Swedish fiction2023In: Language, Culture and Society, ISSN 2543-3164, Vol. 5, no 1Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This article uses contemporary Swedish fiction to explore sociolinguistic phenomena, and argues that literature constitutes an important arena for studying the (re)production and circulation of sociolinguistic experiences and ideas at a particular time and place. It builds on qualitative analysis of 65 Swedish books, published between 2000 and 2020, which depict protagonists with multilingual and migrant backgrounds. The study examines patterns of repetition in these works of fiction. It foregrounds recurring sociolinguistic experiences that are made relevant in the depiction of the fictional characters’ lives, and how they are emotionally interpreted. The analysis shows that the narrated experiences are often told and organized in similar ways and they tend to use the same social images of speakers to highlight processes of boundary-making and social differentiation. Language is used as an important part of the entextualization of these social experiences. For example, the authors often depict “the immigrant” and “the Swede” as binary opposites, which are linked to certain typical forms of speaking and being. By way of repetition, we argue, these recurring fictional experiences contribute to the formation of a grander narrative about language, belonging and social boundary-making in contemporary Sweden, and to the construction of Sweden as a society that is increasingly segregated and stratified.

    Boundary-work and social closure in academic recruitment: Insights from the transdisciplinary subject area Swedish as a Second Language2023In: Research Evaluation, ISSN 0958-2029, E-ISSN 1471-5449, Vol. 32, no 2, p. 515-525Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This article explores practices of evaluation in academic recruitment in Swedish as a Second Language (SSL), an expanding and transdisciplinary subject area. As is common elsewhere, Swedish academia relies on a tradition of external expert review intended to ensure a meritocratic pro- cess. Here, we present an analysis of 109 written expert reports concerning recruitment to 57 positions in SSL during 2000–20. Because SSL lacks institutional autonomy, and is spread across several sub-disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, the material encompasses experts with diverse academic backgrounds. The SSL reports are broadly characterized by qualitative assessment. In contrast to other fields, the SSL experts seldom use quantitative proxy measures. Instead, they mainly rely on received conceptions of the boundaries of SSL as a means of justifying their inclusion and exclusion of candidates. This dominant regularity consists of attempts to define and delimit SSL and its core re- search areas, to locate the candidates in a core-to-periphery scheme with respect to these boundaries, and to rank them accordingly. This mech- anism of social closure serves to restrict access to SSL to candidates with qualifications that conform to the experts’ own conceptions of SSL. As we show, the experts’ internally ambiguous conceptions of SSL tend to be constructed in relation to their own scientific habitus and invest- ments. Beyond evaluating applicants’ possession of scientific capital, their distinctive style of reasoning around research qualifications and skills thus involves power-laden boundary-work, which leaves ample room for individual, yet habitus-specific arbitrariness.

    Cognitive load in dialogue interpreting: Experience and directionality2023Doctoral thesis, monograph (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    This dissertation investigates the effect of experience and language direction on cognitive load in dialogue interpreting. The general objective of the study is to contribute to a better understanding of cognitive processes involved in dialogue interpreting. The present inquiry employs a multi- and mixed- method design and seeks to investigate disfluency measures as indicators of cognitive load in dialogue interpreting. Furthermore, the study aims to explore whether blink-based measures are sensitive to changes in cognitive load of dialogue interpreters. The present study is positioned within cognitive translation and interpreting studies (CTIS) and employs cognitive translatology as a framework, encompassing both cognitive and psycholinguistic approaches to translation and interpreting. Chen’s multidimensional theoretical construct of cognitive load in interpreting is explored in the study and remodeled to fit the context of dialogue interpreting and the assumptions of cognitive translatology. The data were collected from 17 dialogue interpreters during simulated interpreted encounters that recreated a situation commonly arising in a public service context in Sweden. The 10 inexperienced and 7 experienced interpreters all had Swedish as their working language, and the other working languages were French, Polish, and Spanish. Following the revised cognitive load model, the analyses of cognitive load focus on interpreter characteristics (interpreting experience) and on task and environmental characteristics (directionality). The results of analyses show that, in line with previous research, both interpreting experience and directionality modulate cognitive load of dialogue interpreters. Specifically, interpreting experience is demonstrated to attenuate cognitive load. In terms of directionality, interpreting into L2 is shown to be more cognitively demanding than interpreting into L1. Moreover, blink rate and blink rate variability (BRV) are explored as possible indicators of cognitive load. The analyses of blink measures suggest that no meaningful relationship can be found between blink measures and cognitive load.Finally, the complementary analyses of disfluency types in the utterances of the Polish interpreters (n=4) point to multifunctionality of disfluency in dialogue interpreting and to the multiple origins of cognitive load in interpreting dialogues. The analysis is performed from the perspective of the functional-cognitive view of disfluency proposed in the dissertation, whereby three disfluency context categories are identified and applied (cognitive-monitoring, cognitive-pragmatic, and cognitive-processing). Lexical access and rendition planning are identified as recurrent causes of cognitive load in dialogue interpreting. The study also makes theoretical and methodological contributions, primarily by revising the theoretical model of cognitive load in interpreting, which allows for operationalization of cognitive load with additional measures, in both experimental and naturalistic settings. Practical implications are a contribution to the understanding of the challenges interpreting into L2, and the impact of interpreters’ experience on interpreting. Overall, the study contributes to the emerging cognitive profile of dialogue interpreters.

    Cognitive restructuring: Psychophysical measurement of time perception in bilinguals2023In: Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, ISSN 1366-7289, E-ISSN 1469-1841, Vol. 26, no 4, p. 809-818Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This paper explores the link between the metaphoric structure TIME IS SPACE and time perception in bilinguals. While there appear to be fundamental commonalities in the way humans perceive and experience time regardless of language background, language-specific spatiotemporal metaphors can give rise to differences between populations, under certain conditions. Little is known, however, about how bilinguals experience time, and the specific factors that may modulate bilingual temporal processing. Here, we address this gap by examining L1 Spanish – L2 Swedish bilinguals in a psychophysical task. Results show that duration estimation of dynamic spatial configurations analogous to L2-specific temporal metaphors is modulated by L2 proficiency. In contrast, duration estimation of spatial configurations analogous to the L1 metaphorical expressions appears to be modulated by the age of L2 acquisition. These findings are discussed in terms of associative learning and cognitive restructuring in the bilingual mind.

    Abstract [en]

    The chapters in this volume, grouped into three thematic parts, present a broadpicture of the diversity of multilingual cities across the world in the 21st century.They explore cities of vastly different size, ranging from megacities such as Ja-karta down to small cities such as Fribourg/Freiburg, and cities situated in theGlobal North as well as in the Global South. The dynamics of and interaction be-tween different languages in those cities also demonstrate great variation, fromthe presence of two or more languages in multilingual countries or regions to thestatus of immigrant languages in cities traditionally dominated by one majoritylanguage, and to post-colonial contexts where colonial languages often co-exist asofficial languages alongside indigenous languages. While national varieties of En-glish, as well as English as a lingua franca, play an important role in the languagemake-up of many of the cities analysed in this volume, in others the focus is onother (originally) European and non-European languages. As a result, the specificcircumstances of each of the cities sometimes demand different methodologicalapproaches to do them justice, while other chapters share a common methodolog-ical approach to document multilingualism in the cityscape. This is the case withfive chapters (identified in turn further below) across all three sections which uselinguistic landscaping as their approach, carefully fine-tuning the methodology soas to fit the particular conditions of each site.

    Cueing in Theatre: Timing and Temporal Variance in Rehearsals of Scene Transitions2023In: Human Studies, ISSN 0163-8548, E-ISSN 1572-851X, Vol. 46, no 2, p. 199-219Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This video-ethnographic study explores how professional actors and a director at the end of a theatrical rehearsal process coordinate transitions between rehearsed scenes. This is done through the development and use of cues, that is, ‘signals for action’. The aim is to understand how cues are developed and how timing in transitions is achieved by using the designed cues. Work on three different scene transitions is analysed using multimodal Conversation Analysis. The results show that cueing is a central tool for developing well-timed transitions, and how cues serve different purposes in the developing performance. There is no prior plan for how to achieve timely transitions. In all the analysed examples, it is an actor who must produce or act on the given cue who insists on its precise definition, followed by a negotiation on candidate cues, confirmation and specifying the cue. It is also actors who are primarily responsible for the timing of transitions, and the timing is solved through an interplay of clear-cut and embodied actions that allow for temporal variance. Cues are reflexively linked to actors’ observation and interpretation of other actors’ actions, which prevents a mechanical determination of timing in scene transition.

    Abstract [en]

    The theme of this study is the linguistic experiences of inter-Scandinavian communication. More specifically, using language portraits as a method, the study maps the linguistic experiences of two individuals who have moved from Denmark to Sweden as adults, and who now speak in a manner that generally passes as Swedish. The focus of the present study, however, is not these individuals’ acquisition of the Swedish language but their experiences of friction between differing ways of evaluating interaction in the two countries. Several of the individuals’ narrated experiences illustrate how utterances which in Denmark are perceived as witty and humorous are perceived as vulgar and aggressive in Sweden. The individuals’ experiences and the sociolinguistic implications of them are analyzed using notions and perspectives from Pierre Bourdieu – in particular, the notions of linguistic habitus and linguistic market are used – along with the notion of Spracherleben, developed by Brigitta Busch. The study illuminates that even though Danish and Swedish are closely related languages, there are significant differences in the pragmatic logic that prevail in the linguistic markets of the two countries, and that these differences generate critical effects on the linguistic experiences of these mobile individuals.

    Directing Paths into Adulthood: Newly Arrived Students and the Intersection of Education and Migration Policy2023In: Social Inclusion, ISSN 2183-2803, E-ISSN 2183-2803, Vol. 11, no 4Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This article is centred on the tendency to align education for newly arrived students with migration policy. Drawing on an in‐depth analysis of interviews with four adult migrant students, we aim to investigate how the participants’ experiences of studying and how they imagine their future intersect with their immigration status. The interviews were conducted when they were first studying a language introduction programme, and then three years later. We focus on the participants’ nar‐ ratives about transitions within the education system and later into the labour market. Using Sara Ahmed’s approach to the orientation of subjects in time and space, the analysis shows that all students expressed a desire to “be in line,” meaning finishing their studies and finding employment. Students with temporary and conditional residence permits were directed towards specific vocational tracks and sectors of the labour market. Migrant students are a heterogenous group and, based on the findings presented, we argue that immigration status constitutes a crucial part of this heterogeneity, influencing how students imagine their future in a new society.

    ‘Do I Have to Say Exactly Word by Word?’ (Re)producing and Negotiating Asymmetrical Relations in Asylum Interviews2023In: Journal of International Migration and Integration, ISSN 1488-3473, E-ISSN 1874-6365, Vol. 24, no 4, p. 745-768Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In this paper, we conduct a critical discourse analytical study of asylum interviews in order to contribute to knowledge and awareness of (a) how asymmetrical power relations are discursively (re)produced as well as manoeuvred and negotiated during the interaction and (b) what this means in terms of positioning of the participants. Focusing on a number of metacommunicative sequences characterised by a notably high degree of interpersonal complexity, we examine how participants are positioned and how positioning is discursively realised. We draw on eight observed and recorded asylum interviews conducted in Sweden 2018–2021. Metacommunicative positioning is analysed mainly with a focus on speech functions and modality. We show that metacommunication is used by all participants largely as a means of constructing an asylum narrative within the framework of an institutional discourse. The participants can position each other in (dis)advantageous ways in their attempts to deny, or sometimes claim, responsibility for miscommunication. The applicants generally obey the metacommunicative instructions given by other, more powerful participants. However, we also show an example of an applicant who makes resistance to the institutional discourse. Furthermore, all participants use metacommunication as a tool to guide each other in the conversation, thereby positioning themselves as responsible for the co-construction of the asylum narrative. Finally, we underline the benefits of conducting critical discourse analysis in the study of asylum interviews, although such studies can barely change the fact that the asylum determination process is unequal and asymmetrical in its core.

    Does bilingualism come with linguistic costs? A meta-analytic review of the bilingual lexical deficit2023In: Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, ISSN 1069-9384, E-ISSN 1531-5320, Vol. 30, no 3, p. 897-913Article, review/survey (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    A series of recent studies have shown that the once-assumed cognitive advantage of bilingualism finds little support in the evidence available to date. Surprisingly, however, the view that bilingualism incurs linguistic costs (the so-called lexical deficit) has not yet been subjected to the same degree of scrutiny, despite its centrality for our understanding of the human capacity for language. The current study implemented a comprehensive meta-analysis to address this gap. By analyzing 478 effect sizes from 130 studies on expressive vocabulary, we found that observed lexical deficits could not be attributed to bilingualism: Simultaneous bilinguals (who acquired both languages from birth) did not exhibit any lexical deficit, nor did sequential bilinguals (who acquired one language from birth and a second language after that) when tested in their mother tongue. Instead, systematic evidence for a lexical deficit was found among sequential bilinguals when tested in their second language, and more so for late than for early second language learners. This result suggests that a lexical deficit may be a phenomenon of second language acquisition rather than bilingualism per se.

    Education and state authorization of Spanish-Swedish public service interpreters in Sweden2023In: Traducción e interpretación en los servicios públicos (TISP) en transición / Public Service Interpreting and Translation (PSIT) in Transition / [ed] Carmen Valero Garcés, Alcalá de Henares: Editorial Universidad de Alcalá , 2023, p. 193-206Conference paper (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Training and state authorization of public service interpreters have been available in Sweden since the 1970s, and yet training and state authorization is insufficient. Previous research has primarily been dedicated to interpreters in general and therefore the aim of the present study is to gain demographic knowledge of the Spanish-Swedish interpreter population in Sweden. This study reports findings from a questionnaire that was conducted to investigate interpreter training and state authorization of Spanish-Swedish public service interpreters in Sweden. A total of 118 Spanish-Swedish interpreters answered the questionnaire. Results show that the age distribution of Spanish-Swedish state authorized interpreters is skewed and that a majority of the Spanish-Swedish interpreter population has interpreter training. Conclusions suggest that there is a need for further studies on the demographic background of public service interpreters in Sweden and internationally.

    Evaluating normalization accounts against the dense vowel space of Central Swedish2023In: Frontiers in Psychology, E-ISSN 1664-1078, Vol. 14, article id 1165742Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Talkers vary in the phonetic realization of their vowels. One influential hypothesis holds that listeners overcome this inter-talker variability through pre-linguistic auditory mechanisms that normalize the acoustic or phonetic cues that form the input to speech recognition. Dozens of competing normalization accounts exist-including both accounts specific to vowel perception and general purpose accounts that can be applied to any type of cue. We add to the cross-linguistic literature on this matter by comparing normalization accounts against a new phonetically annotated vowel database of Swedish, a language with a particularly dense vowel inventory of 21 vowels differing in quality and quantity. We evaluate normalization accounts on how they differ in predicted consequences for perception. The results indicate that the best performing accounts either center or standardize formants by talker. The study also suggests that general purpose accounts perform as well as vowel-specific accounts, and that vowel normalization operates in both temporal and spectral domains.

    Forced alignment for Nordic languages: Rapidly constructing a high-quality prototype2023In: Nordic Journal of Linguistics, ISSN 0332-5865, E-ISSN 1502-4717, Vol. 46, no 1, p. 105-131Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We propose a rapid adaptation of FAVE-Align to the Nordic languages, and we offer our own adaptation to Swedish as a template. This study is motivated by the fact that researchers of lesser-studied languages often neither have sufficient speech material nor sufficient time to train a forced aligner. Faced with a similar problem, we made a limited number of surface changes to FAVE-Align so that it – along with its original hidden Markov models for English – could be used on Stockholm Swedish. We tested the performance of this prototype on the three main sociolects of Stockholm Swedish and found that read-aloud alignments met all of the minimal benchmarks set by the literature. Spontaneous-speech alignments met three of the four minimal benchmarks. We conclude that an adaptation such as ours would especially suit laboratory experiments in Nordic phonetics that rely on elicited speech.

    From risk and responsibility to risk discourse2023In: Risk Discourse and Responsibility / [ed] Annelie Ädel; Jan-Ola Östman, John Benjamins Publishing Company, 2023, p. 2-37Chapter in book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Risk communication is widely researched in the social sciences, but in linguistics the study of how risk is communicated has not yet formed a coherent field of its own. In this chapter, we approach risk from a discourse perspective, aiming to promote the establishment of risk discourse as a field of study with its own characteristics. We approach the question “What is “risk”?” through a discourse-linguistic analysis that crucially involves the concept of responsibility. We show that there is a body of previous research in linguistics that has dealt with some aspect of risk, but typically without foregrounding risk or using risk as an analytical tool. We show how this state of affairs also applies to responsibility. We argue that an understanding of discourse about risk and risk scenarios needs to be informed by an understanding of the concept of responsibility. The theoretical point of this chapter is therefore to conceive of and establish this type of responsibility-embedded Risk Discourse. Throughout the chapter, we discuss ways in which risk and responsibility can serve as analytical tools in risk discourse studies. This is illustrated by reference not only to previous research, but also to the chapters included in the current volume.

    From Words to Voids: Absencing and Haunting in Crimean Semiotic Landscapes2023Doctoral thesis, comprehensive summary (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    This thesis seeks to contribute to the body of ethnographically-oriented semiotic landscape research by addressing linguistic and non-linguistic signs in the landscapes of contemporary Crimea. It is based on research conducted in the region back in 2017 and 2019 after the Russian annexation but before the full-scale war against Ukraine, which started on 24 February 2022. It illuminates the ways in which the complex histories of conflict over the Crimean Peninsula are materialized in ‘absenced’ semiotic landscapes, both in the form of material effects in landscapes and as discursively realized in the narrated memories of the study participants. In this way, through a close theoretically informed analysis of absence in semiotic landscapes, this thesis illuminates the interrelationships between overwritten, erased and invisibilized voices.

    Each of the four studies in this thesis addresses the effects of different acts of dispossession which have led to the absencing of ethnic, linguistic and national differences in Crimea across time and space. Study I engages with multilingual representations displayed in the city of Sevastopol, illustrating the dominance of Russian discourses of nation and nationalism. Moving beyond the focus on visible signs, Study II sheds light on the invisibilized histories of Crimean Tatar territorial dispossession and displacement. By engaging with the participants’ voices, it illustrates the constructions of a space of otherwise, an indeterminate space full of potentiality and marginality that remains hidden yet persistent in Crimean landscapes. Study III engages to a greater extent with acts of struggle for voice and visibility by attending to memories of citizens’ resistance through the lens of turbulence. Finally, Study IV attempts to disentangle the materially manifested effects of absence in the landscapes. This interrogation goes beyond words and captures voids and their haunting effects on the researcher’s subjectivities. 

    Overall, this thesis contributes to the study of absencing and haunting in Crimean semiotic landscapes, understanding them as a historically layered and yet temporally dynamic, affective and vibrant social phenomenon. As evident from the emic perspectives presented in the thesis, absenced semiotic landscapes are intricately tied to people and events, and can therefore be treated as manifestations of human displacement and dispossession. Further, an (auto)-ethnographic account shows how embodied experiences of absenced semiotic landscapes matter as they further allow the illumination of memory, space and the production of situated knowledge woven into the individual’s body and subjectivity. In sum, the thesis offers a new lens on semiotic landscapes, one that explores the mutual co-constitution of material-discursive processes hidden behind words and voids. In this way, it opens up an endless web of interconnections that informs the ways in which we make sense of social life.

    Från Skånske lov till Vasabrev: Stockholmsstudier i östnordisk filologi2023Collection (editor) (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The conference contributions published in "Från Skånske lov till Vasabrev" ('From the Scanian Law to the Vasa letters') showcase the breadth of East Nordic philology. The articles are based on lectures given at the Society for East Nordic Philology's fifth conference held in 2021, spanning temporally from the early 1200s Scanian Law and Jutlandic Law to the Early Modern period with the Vasa women letters and Johannes Bureus' marginal notes. The investigations include manuscript-based analyses, stemmatological inquiries, textual historical investigations, various types of language historical analyses, and sociolinguistic and historical contextualizations. The authors' backgrounds reflect the same breadth, from Oslo to Osaka.

    The contributions are written in Swedish, Danish, and English.

    Får man synas i texten? En fallstudie om hur gymnasieelever skapar mening om vetenskaplig text2023Licentiate thesis, monograph (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    The purpose of the study is to improve knowledge on teaching about academic text practice in the school subject of Swedish in upper secondary school. The study focuses on the conditions offered to students to approach this text practice and on students’ meaning-making about academic writing and academic text. The investigation has been conducted in the form of a case study in an upper secondary school class during the one year course ‘Swedish 3’. Ethnographic methods were used for data collection and the empirical material consists of classroom observations of text talk, interviews and focus group discussions with students and texts used in class. Theoretically, the study is based on socio-cultural and dialogic perspectives on language, learning and meaning-making (Wertsch 1998, Linell 2009). Students’ learning is seen as a process of appropriation and the texts used in teaching and text talk are seen as mediating resources that enable the students to make sense of academic text as a genre. The concepts ‘recontextualization’, ‘positioning’ and ‘boundary object’ are used in the analysis of the students’ meaning-making. The results show that the students’ meaning-making is characterized by ideas about objectivity and that the report genre is regarded as a norm för academic text. The results also show a complexity in the students’ appropriation process. The students use different recontextualizations of the objectivity concept in a relatively restricted way. In combination with dichotomies used in their meaning-making this prevents an inclusive understanding of genre offered in the teaching context from being fully realized. In addition, the results show challenges in the form of uncertainty regarding their own voice and the role of argumentation in texts of an academic character. However, there are also indications that students at the end of the course had a more nuanced understanding of genre, which involved regarding academic text in a wider perspective and aproaching the “rules” for academic writing more freely. Other results indicate that the texts used in the teaching have a potential to act as boundary objects (Star 2010) and facilitate the students’ crossing of borders between different understandings of genre as well as between text practices in school and higher education. One conclusion is that the purposes and functions of academic texts, as well as the processes behind their production, needs to be more explicit in order to facilitate the students’ appropriation process.

    Abstract [sv]

    Artikeln presenterar en studie om ord och fraser kopplade till ekologisk hållbarhet, som listats i nyordslistor publicerade av Språkrådet och dess föregångare åren 1986–2021. Resultaten visar att 132 av de 1 533 nyord som hittills publicerats i listorna går att koppla till området. Dessa ord analyseras vidare med hänsyn till hur uppkomsten av hållbarhetsnyord i listorna relaterar till samhällsdebattens idékonjunkturer, vad hållbarhetsnyorden typiskt betecknar, samt vilka hållbarhetsnyord som får störst spridning. Syftet med studien är ytterst att bidra till en diskussion om språkets roll i hållbar utveckling.

    Hövisk litteratur och förändringar i det fornsvenska textlandskapet2023Doctoral thesis, monograph (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    This thesis aims to shed light on the presence of the Old Swedish courtly literature in the changing profane textual landscape of medieval Sweden to better understand the function and significance of this literature. The point of departure for this study are the three verse romances collectively known as the Eufemiavisor and their properties in their capacity as courtly literature. The material consists of 31 profane literary works and 26 manuscripts produced between 1300 and 1529. The study draws on polysystem theory (Even-Zohar 1990) and makes use of notions and approaches from various fields of textual scholarship such as philology and the history of literature.

    The study is divided into three main parts. The first part focuses on the work perspective and structures the development of the Old Swedish profane textual landscape into four stages: introduction and establishment; diversification and expansion; politicizing and centralisation; and further development and administration of literary traditions. The second part, which analyses the use of a courtly repertoire in the corpus, uses these stages to interpret the results. The courtly repertoire is defined as a set of properties manifested in the Eufemiavisor. The properties included in the analysis are a courtly vocabulary, certain expressions, the form Knittelvers, adventure as a theme, and the intratextual temporal and spatial settings. The analysis shows that certain parts of the repertoire quickly become obsolete while others (such as a core vocabulary and the Knittelvers) remain productive until the end of the Middle Ages but gradually transform into stereotypes or evolve to become useful outside of a courtly literary context. The third part focuses on the manuscript perspective. A network analysis of the texts’ appearances in manuscripts shows that even though the Eufemiavisor had a central position, the rhyme chronicle Erikskrönikan could be considered the central node connecting various interests and textual orientations, keeping the chronicle relevant throughout the Middle Ages. The analysis of the transmission of the Eufemiavisor reveals their dynamic and multifunctional nature. Of the three romances, Hertig Fredrik av Normandie is perhaps the most nuanced, a factor that may have contributed to it being the most copied as well as the longest-lasting of the Eufemiavisor.

    The results suggest a gradual move of the courtly repertoire from a central position towards a peripheral position in the literary system as a consequence of a growing system, new interests, and new groups governing the system. By the end of the Middle Ages, the function of the courtly repertoire appears to have become one of preservation of traditional literary taste.

    (In)difference of translated Swedish children’s literature on the English-market: 2000-20222023In: International conference: Translations and transnational literary exchange, University of Zadar, Croatian, 20-22 September, 2023Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Despite that English book market is closed, in this meaning that translations are less numerous than the national production (Even-Zohar 1990), this presentation aims to show that Swedish literature for children’s and young adults succeed in finding its place – even small – in this well-known hermetic market. It means that there is a circulation of books from a semi-peripheral language (as defined by Heilbron 2000) and a consecrator country as Sweden is, to a hypercentral language and dominating global market. Since the thesis of Broomé (2014) which examined the role and function of Swedish fiction in English translation on the British book market at the beginning of 2000s, there are no specific studies and collected data in both United-Kingdom (UK) and United States (US) especially on translated children’s and young adult’s literature and even less from Sweden. This presentation feels this gap by mapping Swedish children’s and young adult literature translated into English. It presents as well data on which actors publish this literature in the aim to further understand how and what kind of Swedish children’s and young adult’s literature circulate and which actors may have an impact on their circulation. Mapping those translations flows is a way to determine how intensive the exchanges are but above all it is a way to find patterns in the translated production from Sweden to the English-speaking market and to understand what is circulating between those countries. A hypothesis is that books that fit certain stereotype or representations about Scandinavia are more easily published in these two English-speaking countries.
