New Doctoral Thesis: Erika Berglind Söderqvist. Evidential Marking in Spoken English: Linguistic Functions and Gender Variation

Thu, 26 Mar 2020 09:55:00 GMT

"This thesis investigates the marking of evidentiality in spoken British English. Evidentiality is the linguistic expression of whether and how a speaker/writer has access to evidence for or against the truth of a proposition, and it is usually manifested in the form of sensory evidentiality [...], hearsay evidentiality [...], or inferential evidentiality [...]. The aims of this thesis are to investigate whether there are quantitative differences between women and men in how often they mark evidentiality, and to analyze the functions of evidentiality in interaction in order to formulate an explanation of any gender differences."

The thesis will be publicly defended on 18 April 2020.

New Book - Ashleigh Harris: Afropolitanism and the Novel: De-realizing Africa

Mon, 28 Oct 2019 15:54:00 GMT

The place of the novel as a literary form in Africa is contested. Its colonial origins and its unaffordability for most Africans make it a bad fit for the continent, yet it was also central to the creation of most postcolonial African national literary canons. These bipolar traditions remain unresolved in recent debates about Afropolitanism and the novel in Africa today.

New book - Robert Appelbaum: The Aesthetics of Violence: Art, Fiction, Drama and Film

Fri, 12 Jan 2018 07:38:00 GMT

Violence at an aesthetic remove from the spectator or reader has been a key element of narrative and visual arts since Greek antiquity. Here Robert Appelbaum explores the nature of mimesis, aggression, the affects of antagonism and victimization and the political uses of art throughout history. He examines how violence in art is formed, contextualised and used by its audiences and readers. Bringing traditional German aesthetic and social theory to bear on the modern problem of violence in art, Appelbaum engages theorists including Kant, Schiller, Hegel, Adorno and Gadamer. The book takes the reader from Homer and Shakespeare to slasher films and performance art, showing how violence becomes at once a language, a motive, and an idea in the experience of art. It addresses the controversies head on, taking a nuanced view of the subject, understanding that art can damage as well as redeem. But it concludes by showing that violence (in the real world) is a necessary condition of art (in the world of mimetic play).

New Doctoral Thesis: Göran Rönnerdal. Temporal Subordinators and Clauses in Early Modern English: Stability and Change

Wed, 23 Aug 2017 16:20:00 GMT

My work is a corpus-based investigation of the use and development of temporal subordinators and clauses in Early Modern British English (EModE). The focus of the project is on the forms, structure, meanings, and history of these subordinators and clauses. My primary aim is to analyse stability and change in temporal subordinators and clauses across the EModE period; second comes the study of linguistic features, such as aspect, tense, mood and modality, ellipsis and non-finite forms, positions, coordination, and subordination of the temporal clauses. In addition, I examine the progress of these subordinators, and WHEN in particular, across text categories, text types, and the sub-periods.

New Doctoral Thesis: Kristen Rau. From Frontline to Homefront: The Global Homeland in Contemporary U.S. War Fiction

Mon, 10 Apr 2017 11:25:00 GMT

Criticised for providing a simplified depiction of a post-9/11 United States, contemporary American "war on terror" fiction has been largely neglected by critical discourse. This dissertation argues that this fiction offers a vital engagement with how the War on Terror is waged, and how the fantasies and policies of the Global Homeland inform it.

New Doctoral Thesis: Henrik Kaatari. Adjectives Complemented by that- and to-clauses: Exploring Semantico-Syntactic Relationships and Genre Variation

Wed, 22 Feb 2017 15:12:00 GMT

The present compilation thesis investigates adjectives complemented by that- and to-clauses. More specifically, the thesis is concerned with extraposed (e.g. itis likely that she will win and it is important to win) and post-predicate clauses (e.g. I'm sure that he's alive and I'm glad to see you). The thesis s most fundamentally concerned with the study of linguistic variation. Thus the aim of the thesis is to explain why a certain construction is used in a given context.

New Doctoral Thesis: Tove Larsson. The Introductory it Pattern in Academic Writing by Non-Native-Speaker Students and Published Writers: A Corpus-Based Study

Wed, 23 Nov 2016 12:01:00 GMT

This compilation thesis investigates the use of a pattern that is commonly found in academic writing, namely the introductory it pattern (e.g. it is interesting to note the difference). The main aim is to shed further light on the formal and functional characteristics of the pattern in academic writing. When relevant, the thesis also investigates functionally related constructions. The focus is on learner use, but reference corpora of published writing and non-native-speaker student writing have also been utilized for comparison. The thesis encompasses an introductory survey (a "kappa") and four articles.
