Variantformer eller olika namn? : Vid lemmatiseringens vägskäl
No full textVariant forms or different names? At the crossroads of lemmatisation. The aim of this article is to present and discuss some different ways of dealing with the problem of how to handle different spellings of personal names in older texts, i.e. how to lemmatise them. The methods discussed are drawn from several Scandinavian studies (dating from 1967 to 2011) on first names in sources from the 16th to the 19th century. Different criteria of lemmatisation are analysed and some comparisons of these earlier results are made. Some areas where the analysed studies differ are: the importance of the names’ etymology, the importance of name rhyme, the importance of pronunciation, the intentions of the name givers and if the actual name-users’ views on names are of any importance for studies of personal names in historical contexts. This article also discusses the consequences which the use of disparate methods for lemmatising can have for the prospects of comparing and combining several name studies

No full textSharing language but not communicative patterns: Feedback in Sweden-Swedish and Finland-Swedish academic counselling interaction In this article, we present a study of oral feedback (back-channels and responsive turns) given in academic counselling meetings between an essay supervisor and one or two students. The purpose of these meetings is to discuss and improve an academic text written by the students. Our data consist of naturally occurring Sweden-Swedish and Finland-Swedish institutional interactions at the university level. The overall aim of the study is to compare feedback patterns in the Sweden-Swedish and the Finland- Swedish data and to contribute to the field of variational pragmatics. A detailed analysis of the recorded interactions reveals overt differences in the frequency, intensity and distribution of feedback in the two varieties of Swedish. In the Sweden-Swedish data, there is a preference for relational work, evidenced, for instance, by students praising the advice given by the supervisor. In the Finland-Swedish data, an orientation towards clarity is prominent and corrective advice, for instance, is usually uttered in a straightforward way. Our results support previous findings on communicative patterns in Sweden and Finland. These findings highlight the dialogic nature of institutional communication in Sweden, on the one hand, and the orientation to the task and its result in comparable situations in Finland, on the other. The outcome of this study adds to the understanding of the communicative patterns of Sweden- Swedish and Finland-Swedish with a detailed analysis of the oral feedback occurring in counselling meetings.Interaktion och variation i pluricentriska språk IVI
