Emotive meaning and evaluation in text. Doctoral dissertation in Scandinavian Languages. Department of Swedish Language, Göteborg University. 2002. 337 pp. This thesis investigates the concept of emotive meaning, which has been used in numerous versions during the last decade to explain and describe linguistic evaluation. It examines how emotive meaning is constructed within the frames of different semantic theories, how it works in empirical studies, and the thesis aims, furthermore, to expose alternative possibilities to understand and study evaluation, which tend to be overlooked in earlier research.

Since the turn of the century we have seen the emergence of national and Nordic research networks, conference and publication series, research programs, and the designation of positions as professors and associate professors. Stud-ies of Nordic L1 research have taken stock of the disciplinary sub fields, but empirical studies of the L1 school subject as a unitary field are still in demand. The aim of this study is to investigate the emergence of Nordic L1 research and its present profile(s) through PhD research. The present study examines the abstracts of Danish, Finnish, Norwegian and Swedish L1 PhD dissertations defended between 2000 and 2017. The results point to a growing field. A general observation is that the research focuses on reading and writing, whereas oral and aesthetical expressions are minor topics. Another result is a set of national differences which are related to governmental policy documents and school curricula. Further, the re-search has become more internationally oriented during recent years. The L1 research is characterized as a professionalized region (Bernstein, 2003) with strong didactization (Ongstad, 2004), and a potential for powerful disciplinary knowledge (Lambert, 2017).
