A Critical Review of Negative Affect and the Application of CBT for PTSD
Forms of cognitive and behavioral therapies (CBTs), including prolonged exposure and cognitive processing therapy, have been empirically validated as efficacious treatments for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, the assumption that PTSD develops from dysregulated fear circuitry possesses limitations that detract from the potential efficacy of CBT approaches. An analysis of these limitations may provide insight into improvements to the…

Young children as language policy-makers : studies of interaction in preschools in Finland and Sweden
Children’s agency in creating and maintaining language policy in practice in two “language profile” preschools in Sweden
This paper presents results from an ethnographic study of language policy as it is enacted in everyday interaction in two language profile preschools in Sweden with explicit monolingual language policies: English and Finnish, respectively. However, in both preschools, children are free to choose language or code alternate. The study shows how children through their interactive choices create and modify language policy-in-practice. We analyze extr…
Children's ongoing and relational negotiation of informed assent in child-researcher, child-child and child-parent interaction
Contemporary considerations of childhood research ethics recognize children's competence and agency, their rights to be informed about research and their capabilities to negotiate participation. There is also a recognition of children's assent as ongoing and formed in the relationship with the researcher. Drawing on two different data sets, we investigate information and assent as they appear in child-researcher, child-child and child-parent inte…
Adult monolingual policy becomes children’s bilingual practice: Code-alternation among children and staff in an English-medium preschool in Sweden
Parents, teachers and institutions often attempt to implement monolingual policies in bilingual settings, believing that they thereby facilitate children’s bilingual development. Children, however, often have their own communicative agendas. In this study, we investigate how the twofold language policy of an English-medium preschool in Sweden is put into practice in everyday interaction. The results show that children (aged 3–4) develop a broader…
A tale of two cities (and one vowel): Sociolinguistic variation in Swedish
Previous studies of language contact in multilingual urban neighborhoods in Europe claim the emergence of new varieties spoken by immigrant-background youth. This paper examines the sociolinguistic conditioning of variation in allophones of Swedish /ε:/ of young people of immigrant and nonimmigrant background in Stockholm and Gothenburg. Although speaker background and sex condition the variation, their effects differ in each city. In Stockholm t…

A Methodology for Conducting Integrative Mixed Methods Research and Data Analyses
Mixed methods research has gained visibility within the last few years, although limitations persist regarding the scientific caliber of certain mixed methods research designs and methods. The need exists for rigorous mixed methods designs that integrate various data analytic procedures for a seamless transfer of evidence across qualitative and quantitative modalities. Such designs can offer the strength of confirmatory results drawn from quantit…

Enhancing Sparsity by Reweighted l(1) Minimization
It is now well understood that (1) it is possible to reconstruct sparse signals exactly from what appear to be highly incomplete sets of linear measurements and (2) that this can be done by constrained l 1 minimization.In this paper, we study a novel method for sparse signal recovery that in many situations outperforms l 1 minimization in the sense that substantially fewer measurements are needed for exact recovery.The algorithm consists of solvi…
Convex Optimization
Convex optimization problems arise frequently in many different fields. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the subject, and shows in detail how such problems can be solved numerically with great efficiency. The book begins with the basic elements of convex sets and functions, and then describes various classes of convex optimization problems. Duality and approximation techniques are then covered, as are statistical estimation tech…
Foreign-born Teachers in the Multilingual Classroom in Sweden: The Role of Attitudes to Foreign Accent
The teaching profession is of particular interest as a testing ground for questions of the role of attitudes to foreign accented speech in a multilingual society, that is in virtually all societies. The school is a central institution of the nation state, and the goal of the school is to socialise young people to be productive, informed citizens and members of the local community. This paper will report on some results of a series of modified mat…
Americans in Europe-A Sociolinguistic Perspective: Probes in Northern and Western Europe
Crosscultural Perspectives on Interaction with Minority and Majority Children at Home and in Pre-school
In this paper, we will discuss crosscultural perspectives on Turkish and Swedish children’s interaction with parents at home and pre-school teachers in the Swedish mainstream pre-school. Through their participation in various activities at home and in the pre-school, the Turkish and the Swedish children in this study are socialized into somewhat different norms for interaction, which reflect the somewhat different norms for social order, values, …
North Americans in the Nordic region: Elite Bilinguals
Americans in Europe are often assumed either to rernain monolingual in English or to become elite bilinguals. In this paper, the Situation for American parents of school-age children in Denmark, Finland, and Sweden is examined and compared to each other and to the situations of Finns, Turks, and Vietnamese in these and other parts of the Nordic region. The Americans turn out to be among the most frequent users of the majority languages in the cou…
Introduction Probing the background
The issue editors draw the sociological, historical, political, and linguistic backdrop against which the experience of Americans in Europe should be read, both as pari of the local scenery (living as mixed couples, or as American couples permanently established in a European country, raising bilingual and bicultural children), and as individuals who in some instances are seen to reflect the particular Status ofthe US in the worid The authors con…
Language Maintenance and Language Shift among Four Immigrant Minorities in the Nordic Region: A Re-evaluation of Fishman's Theory of Diglossia and Bilingualism
In his (1972) book, The Sociology of Language , Joshua Fishman presents his often-cited typology of language contact situations in the form of a four-cell table: + or − diglossia and + or − bilingualism. Although criticism has been made of this typology and particularly of the predictions based on it, in this paper we operationalize Fishman's concepts of diglossia and bilingualism as presented in this book. We then examine results from a comparat…
Linguistic change among bilingual speakers of Finnish and American English in Sweden: Background and some tentative findings

The development of a morphological class
English has a class of “semiweak” verbs, which in the past tense have root-vowel ablaut as well as reflexes of the apical stop suffix, for example, kept, told . This study traces the development of this class in a sample of speakers aged 4–65. The evidence is derived from the variable rates of occurrence of the final - t,d in these words in the speech of individuals of different ages. The rate of - t,d absence in semiweak verbs systematically dec…
Behavioral Effects of Response-Independent Termination of Aversive Stimulation
In the current study, the effects of noncontingent termination of aversive stimulation on the development and organization of behavior were examined. Rats were removed from cold water independent of their behavior, and changes in their behavior when replaced in the cold water were observed. Contrary to a classic interpretation of the effects of noncontingent reinforcement as “superstition,” stable and predictable patterns of behavior developed un…
