   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Datalogi

   Author : Karolina Hagerman; [2024]
   Keywords : persuasion; language; persuasive communication; reddit; communication accomodation theory; language attributes; sentiment; lexical diversity;

   Abstract : This study explores the dynamics of persuasive communication within the context of the r/AmItheAsshole subreddit, a platform that serves as a space for individuals to share real-life conflicts, inviting impartial judgments from the Reddit community, so-called flairs. Grounded in Communication Accommodation Theory and existing research on persuasion, the study explores the impact of language attributes on persuasive outcomes, using hypothesis testing to determine significant differences between the different flairs and two broader binary categories of blame.

3. 2. Standard Arabic and Scottish Gaelic: Shared typological features

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för filosofi, lingvistik och vetenskapsteori

   Author : Barbara Bakker; [2023-08-16]
   Keywords : Standard Arabic; Scottish Gaelic; Semitic; Celtic; substrate hypothesis; contact theory; structural similarity; typological feature; typological universals;

   Abstract : Although Celtic languages and Semitic languages belong to separate language families, they share numerous typological similarities that are common to Semitic languages but not shared by Standard Indo-European languages. The occurrence and the reasons for these similarities have been the focus of a whole research field, concerned with linguistic, historical, and anthropological hypotheses about possible reasons for said similarities, as well as with linguistic analyses and comparisons of specific Celtic and Semitic languages, such as Hebrew, Welsh and Breton.
