Hur språkspecifika ord ska översättas mellan två språk är inte alltid självklart. Därför har denna uppsats i syfte att undersöka hur ryska diminutiva vanliga substantiv översätts till svenska. Svårigheten vid översättning uppstår bland annat av att ryska är ett språk rikt på diminutiv medan användning av diminutiv i svenska är sällsynt. På grund av...
Most labour rooms in Sweden pretty much all look the same. They have a white plastic floor and a light colored wall. The room has one bed, and next to the bed you find machines that will help you if anything goes wrong. These rooms are made to give birth in - but somehow they’re not made for that at all. This project is based on research showing th...
I samband med uppgradering av befintliga banor för högre axellaster, tåghastigheter eller ökad trafikmängd är det viktigt att ta hänsyn till de ökningar av deformationer som kan erhållas i banunderbyggnaden, som kan orsaka spårlägesfel och ökat underhåll. I samband med spårbyten på sträckor där endast marginella förändringar planeras är det också v...
Läsförståelse är av vikt för kunskapsinhämtning, men även för att kunna fungera som samhällsmedborgare i Sverige. Studier av läsförståelse är inte ovanligt men de sätter främst fokus på de lägre åldrarna. Denna studie avser i stället att bidra till kunskap om läsförståelse i gymnasieåldern. Utifrån en klass, som i gymnasiegångens inledning genomför...

The so-called acquisitive modality or actuality, describing a successful realization of an action, is a largely understudied type of modal values. It is of significant interest both from the viewpoint of its grammaticalization paths and of a wide and rich variety of its lexical expression. The article discusses one of the main representatives of th...
