Denne masteroppgaven handler om kjønnsdiskriminert språk i spansk. Målet for oppgaven er å se i hvilken grad en mannssentrert (androsentrisk) kultur gjenspeiler seg i det spanske språket.

I første omgang vil jeg se om yrkestitlene har så ...

This dissertation argues for a form of grounded phonology, by drawing on findings in ...

The English article system is complicated for L2 learners. Article errors usually happen in L2 article acquisition. Article errors are not random. The two main error patterns are article overuse and article omission. This thesis argues that the Full Access Full Transfer hypothesis (FAFT) can account for these article errors. The Fluctuation Hypothesis is proposed to address article overuse in L2 ...

This study focuses on a set of Spanish verbs that exhibit both these features: arrojar, echar, lanzar and tirar (all can be glossed ...
