  1. 16. The Neural Representations of Function Words : Neurolinguistic Beliefs Reconsidered in the Light of Grammaticalisation Theory

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Masterprogram: Språk och språkvetenskap; Lunds universitet/Allmän språkvetenskap

    Author : Sabine Gosselke; [2011]
    Keywords : grammaticalisation; neurolinguistics; function words; processing; motor cortex; movement priming; Languages and Literatures;

    Abstract : It has in recent years been shown that some linguistic items, in particular lexical and abstracted movement verbs, activate the motor cortex in the human brain while being processed. The present study sets out to investigate how far this activation is retained for grammaticalised motion verbs which have shed their lexical content in exchange for grammatical functionality.

  3. 17. Effects of Suprasegmental Features on the Processing of Spoken Words in the Human Brain: Evidence from Mismatch Negativity (MMN)

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Engelska; Lunds universitet/Masterprogram: Språk och språkvetenskap

    Author : Hatice Zora; [2011]
    Keywords : language processing; brain; lexical access; word recognition; event-related potentials ERP ; mismatch negativity MMN ; stress perception; fundamental frequency; intensity; Languages and Literatures;

    Abstract : The study reported in the present paper aimed to determine the effect of prosodic cues on automatic word processing in the brain by comparing the mismatch negativity (MMN) component of the event-related potentials (ERP) elicited by isolated words and pseudowords. More specifically, it attempted to explore the influence of changes in certain suprasegmental cues such as fundamental frequency and intensity on the perception of linguistic stress patterns by native speakers of American English.

  4. 18. Dynamic modeling of a solid oxide fuel cell system in Modelica

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Daniel Andersson; Erik Åberg; [2010]
    Keywords : Solid oxide fuel cell Modelica simulation; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In this study a dynamic model of a solid oxide fuel cell system has been developed. The work has been conducted in cooperation with Modelon AB using the Modelica language and the Dymola modeling and simulation tool. Modelica is an equation based, object oriented modeling language, which promotes flexibility and reuse of code. READ MORE
