    Author : Josephine Ahrendt; Miriam Nicolai; [2023]
    Keywords : bilingualism; language switch; perceived personality change; HEXACO Personality Inventory-Revised; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : With increasing bilingualism, it becomes vital to understand the relation of language to personality. Language is essential for expressing our thoughts, and personality impacts our thoughts and behavior. READ MORE

  3. 7. Bilingualism in Multimodal Language Processing: A priming study on processing of gestures in English temporal expressions

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kognitionsvetenskap

    Author : Sonja Holmer; [2023]
    Keywords : bilingualism; multimodal language processing; gesture; abstract language; integrated systems hypothesis; Philosophy and Religion; Languages and Literatures;

    Abstract : At its core, language is multimodal (Kendon, 1986; McNeill, 1994), and information presented through different channels of information, such as visually, in the shape of gestures, or verbally, in the shape of speech or signs, together facilitate online language processing (Kelly, Healey, Özyürek, & Holler, 2015; Kelly, Özyürek, & Maris, 2010). This thesis extends previous studies on multimodal processing (Kelly et al. READ MORE

  4. 8. Low-Resource Domain Adaptation for Jihadi Discourse : Tackling Low-Resource Domain Adaptation for Neural Machine Translation Using Real and Synthetic Data

    Author : Thea Tollersrud; [2023]
    Keywords : machine translation; domain adaptation;

    Abstract : In this thesis, I explore the problem of low-resource domain adaptation for jihadi discourse. Due to the limited availability of annotated parallel data, developing accurate and effective models in this domain poses a challenging task. READ MORE
