1. Trilingual spoken word recognition : Interlingual competition from one or two non-target languages in a sentence context
University essay from Stockholms universitet/Centrum för tvåspråkighetsforskningAbstract : Persistent non-target language co-activation in spoken and visual language comprehension has been found both at the word-level and at the level of a sentence, although in the latter case, sentence bias has been observed to modulate the co-activation which can create lexical competition. In the case of trilingual speakers, both non-target languages may potentially compete with the third language (L3). READ MORE

2. Affective language processing. Modulations of event-related potentials amplitude by induced mood in a valence judgment task
University essay from Lunds universitet/Allmän språkvetenskap; Lunds universitet/Masterprogram: Språk och språkvetenskapAbstract : Emotional vocabulary enjoys a processing advantage, with the emotional salience of a word detected at 200 ms post-presentation or earlier, signalling selective attention to its affective properties. An individual’s affective state also impacts attention and, by extension, affects processing. READ MORE

3. Elastic Net Regression for Prosthesis Control in Short Residual Limb Amputees: Performance and Generalizability
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknikAbstract : This Master's thesis in Biomedical Engineering investigates the performance and generalizability of linear regression models in context of prosthesis control for short residual limb amputees. This thesis uses intramuscular electromyography data, and a regression and emplys a regression technique called Elastic Net Regression - a technique that combines L1 and L2-regularization - to predict 1-DOF isometric forces outputs from fingers and the wrist.

4. LinguaMapping: The New Frontier in Language Processing : A New Online Tool for Measuring Swedish L1 Transfer in English Embedded Relative Clauses
University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för lärande, humaniora och samhälleAbstract : The structure of embedded relative clauses in English may involve several grammatical elements, generating different grammatical rules with respect to word order. Studying the impact of first language (L1) transfer in the production of English embedded relative clauses is important to reveal valuable information about specific challenges in second language acquisition (SLA).

5. An online study of L2 relative clause processing: Evidence from self-paced reading in Persian learners of English
University essay from Lunds universitet/Allmän språkvetenskap; Lunds universitet/Masterprogram: Språk och språkvetenskapAbstract : This study examines relative clause (RC) processing in Persian learners of English and native speakers of English to explore whether or how different task demands, referential context information with three potential RC antecedents along with the variables noun type (definite, indefinite), RC length (short, long) and RC type (extraposed, non-extraposed) affect their processing, using both an online non-cumulative self-paced reading task and an offline questionnaire. In the self-paced reading task, the online processing of RC attachment resolution was examined when participants read temporarily ambiguous sentences with RCs preceded by one clause or two clauses containing three NPs followed by comprehension questions to explore L2 RC attachment preferences.
