63. Mindy Svenlin. Trusting the Process in Collaborative Writing: Reconceptualizing Collaborative Writing Processes Within a School (Musical) Context. 2025. Avhandling i språkdidaktik/Dissertation in Language Teaching and Learning.
This dissertation investigates collaborative writing processes within a school musical project through a relational ontological perspective. Rather than centering writing as a solely human activity, it examines what is produced in-between human and more-than-human participants, including materialities, technologies, spaces, and affective forces. Relational ontologies emphasize processes, becoming, and relations, shaping how collaborative writing, writing processes, and scriptwriting are conceptualized. Overall, the dissertation reconceptualizes collaborative writing as fluid and writing processes as rhizomatic, emphasizing messiness, nonlinearity, and the intertwined nature of process and product. It argues for writing pedagogies that actively trust collaborative writing as a dynamic, relational process.
62. Solveig Bollig. I gemenskapens periferi? Perspektiv på Otherness i islänningatåtar och islänningasagor. 2025. Avhandling i språkvetenskap, med inriktning mot nordiska språk/Dissertation in Scandinavian Languages.
This dissertation examines the concept of Otherness in the short medieval tales of Icelanders (Íslendingaþættir) and, to a lesser extent, in the sagas of Icelanders (Íslendingasögur), by focusing on linguistic and cultural identity markers and descriptors and their role in constructing Otherness. Literary analysis is employed to examine the developments of characters presented as Others, socioonomastics and literary onomastics are used to analyse differences between Norwegian and Icelandic personal names, and cognitive semantics is utilized to study the meanings of the adjective ódæll (meaning “difficult” or “hard to deal with”). The purpose of five discrete studies is to highlight different aspects of linguistic and narratological Otherness in the tales and sagas of Icelanders and the complexity and nuances that inform Otherness in the Icelandic Middle Ages. Results support arguments for using a broader theoretical and analytical framework of Otherness to further insights into the norms and identities of the medieval Icelandic society described in the tales and sagas.
61. Kajsa Törmä. Space, space, space: An Inquiry into the Construal and Conceptualization of Outer Space. 2025. Avhandling i språkvetenskap/Dissertation in Linguistics.
A growing body of humanities and social science research on outer space recognizes that outer space is not just a physical place, but a place shaped by human knowledge, interaction, and narratives. This thesis, situated within the theoretical framework of Cognitive Linguistics, explores how outer space is conceptualized and linguistically construed. The results show that language about space is firmly rooted in embodied experiences. Even in an environment where fundamental physical principles such as gravity no longer apply embodied experience influence how people think and talk. Furthermore, outer space is also understood through personifications and metaphors that draw upon familiar, embodied experiences, offering ways to make sense of abstract and unfamiliar places in both conventional and creative ways. Finally, the results encompass conceptualizations specific to the United States' cultural context, influenced by the Cold War, colonial expansion, and economic or political discourse on space exploration and tourism. Studying the patterns of language and thought can thus provide insights into how people understand, engage with, and imagine outer space now and in the future.
60. Jenny Bergström. English for Others: Power and Othering in The Language Introduction Program in Sweden. 2025. Avhandling i språkdidaktik/Dissertation in Language Teaching and Learning.
This thesis investigates English-language education at The Language Introduction Program (LIP) in Sweden: an individual transit program for newly arrived migrant students at upper-secondary school level, designed to ensure a fast transition to further education or the job market. The results show that power structures limit the ability of teachers to collaborate, evaluate, and develop their teaching practices. Interwoven in all these structures are monolingual language ideologies and perceptions of LIP students as lacking prior knowledge and capabilities. Furthermore, the thesis shows that students’ first languages (L1s) are not used as a resource when learning English at the LIP, and that the importance of proficiency in English is rarely discussed with LIP students. Instead, the local language (Swedish) is prioritized by the organization. Through governmentality, lack of proficiency in English is a gatekeeper to future transitions for LIP students. All these factors in combination position English as a school subject at LIP of less priority for LIP students, disfavoring English both in regard to resources and support.
