Medical professionals as reflective practitioners
This study investigates language proficiency from the perceptual perspective of L2 medical doctors in the Finnish context. Informed by the principles of Exploratory Practice, the research data were collected in an inclusive co-investigation during a preparatory course for the legalisation examinations of medical doctors qualified outside the EU. The participants were engaged to co-investigate their approaches to language and particularly the ling…
S/ ideology in twentieth-century educational materials in Finland
The status of the phoneme /s/ as the only sibilant of Finnish makes its pronunciation relatively free. This enables /s/ variants to gain social meaning, a tendency typical in many societies. In Finnish society, studies so far have documented how variation in /s/ pronunciation has faced concerns, originating from late-nineteenth-century nation building and Finnish language norm construction processes. Against the norm of the voiceless alveolar /s/…
Same old paska or new shit? On the stylistic boundaries and social meaning potentials of swearing loanwords in Finnish
As pointed out by numerous researchers in the “pragmatic turn” of borrowing, pragmatic borrowings into a recipient language tend to carry social and pragmatic meanings that distinguish them both from equivalent forms in the donor language and in the recipient language. With regard to swearwords in Finnish, it has been demonstrated earlier that paska ‘shit’ is among the most used swearwords, and that the lexical borrowing shit is favored among cer…

Earlier research has concluded that there is a strong symbolic relationship between Helsinki as a place and non-standard /s/ pronunciation. This phenomenon is likewise in continuous evidence in the Finnish media and social media. The notion of “Helsinki s” has become a folk linguistic fact although it lacks a clear linguistic correlate or even status as a linguistic fact. The only sibilant of the Finnish language is officially a voiceless alveola…

Pliis in Finnish is best characterized asa marked form which is mostly relegated to informal or spoken language. Thus,this stage of our study made use of a grammatical acceptability test to try toobserve social evaluation patterns. The test was presented as a web-…
