    Sammanfattning : Smak är en komplex blandning av ett flertal faktorer och är mycket beroende av flera av våra andra sinnen. Studiet av smakers lexikalisering är mer begränsat i jämförelse med studiet av sinnena syn och hörsel och har inte haft en särskilt stor roll inom lexikal typologi hittills. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : In view of the scarcity of studies that in Sweden aim to investigate the relationship between motivation and linguistic competence of heritage speakers (Montrul, 2010: 9), the present study has two objectives: (a) examine if motivation, here understood as total motivation, is correlated with language proficiency of Spanish heritage speakers, enrolled in mother tongue classes, and (b) determine whether or not the underlying motivational subtype is decisive for the learning results, in Spanish, achieved by these students.    The motivation and linguistic proficiency of 51 students were surveyed through a questionnaire based, in part, on the self-determination theory and a proficiency test divided in two parts: a cloze test and a multiple-choice test.
