Speech Acts-Enhanced SIP Communication
نویسنده
چکیده
In workplaces, phone calls constitute a very common way of communication. However, the callee typically has no means to know what the caller wants to talk about. This can be counterproductive if the callee is busy performing a task that is more important and/ or urgent than the conversation that is about to be initiated by the caller. The present article addresses this issue and comes up with a new enhanced communication service. First, a communication model based on speech acts is proposed. Speech acts are used by the caller to indicate the call intention or subject to the callee in the most clear and unambiguous possible way. Then, an Internet telephony implementation of the speech acts-based model is designed to fit the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). The solution is validated through a case study.

On the Relationship between Emotional Intelligence and Directive Speech Acts Preference
Language and emotion are two related systems in use, in that one system (emotions) impacts the performance of the other (language). Both of them share their functionality in communication. Since the nature of foreign language classrooms is ideally interactional, emotional intelligence (EI) gains importance. The aim of this study was to find out whether one's total emotional quotient and its com...
متن کاملModeling Lateral Communication in Holonic Multi Agent Systems
Agents, in a multi agent system, communicate with each other through the process of exchanging messages which is called dialogue. Multi agent organization is generally used to optimize agents’ communications. Holonic organization demonstrates a self-similar recursive and hierarchical structure in which each holon may include some other holons. In a holonic system, lateral communication occurs b...
متن کاملApplying SIP VoIP to Context-Aware Telephony
The simple, efficient Session Initial Protocol (SIP) is widely used to integrate context-awareness computing techniques. We propose a SIP-based research framework that integrates automatic speech generation to make communication between users more convenient. Based on the proposed approach, we built and tested a SIP context server and several SIP agents hosted on PCs. If the called party is abs...
متن کاملThe Effect of Explicit and Implicit Instruction through Plays on EFL Learners’ Speech Act Production
Despite the general findings that address the positive contribution of teaching pragmatic features to interlanguage pragmatic development, the question as to the most effective method is far from being resolved. Moreover, the potential of literature as a means of introducing learners into the social practices and norms of the target culture, which underlie the pragmatic competence, has not been...
متن کاملExploring EFL Learners’ Use of Formulaic Sequences in Pragmatically Focused Role-play Tasks
Communicative language use largely entails regular patterns consisting of pre-constructed phrases or sequences. These sequences have been examined by many researchers to find the situation-based formulas which may help L2 learners follow a possibly more target-like speaking system. This study, therefore, explored two categories of formulaic expressions including speech formulas and situation-bo...
