My research provides an interface for non-technical authors to collaborate with a planning system to create interactive narrative. I describe a domain metatheory to allow for qualitative elaborations of narrative domains. A graphical user interface that exploits this metatheory is used to specify authorial preferences. These preferences are employed to enhance the qualitative reasoning of the p...

This paper argues for a robust notion of collective identity which is not reduced to a psychological conception of identity. In a first part the debate on the concept of identity raised by several authors is taken up critically with the intention to defend a strong sociological conception of identity which by definition is a collective identity. The basic assumption is that collective identitie...

This article argues that users engage with content when they perceive a threat in-group status, selecting serve as markers separate identity out-group identity.

The present study explored the intensity level of authorial voice in relation to the quality of argumentative writing. 42 undergraduate learners of English as a foreign language (36 girls and 6 boys) spent 45 minutes to individually complete in-class position-taking writing tasks for three weeks. Their overall academic writing quality scores assigned based on portfolio assessment were studied i...

It is widely agreed that the interaction possibilities in interactive narrative are limited by the current approach to dialog creation, which typically relies on teams of scriptwriters. This paper reports on experiments testing whether authorial leverage can be increased by methods for natural language generation of dialog in a story world called Heart of Shadows. Our experiments show that (1) ...

The papers represent a particular language theory, systemic functional linguistics. The papers also reflect a particular view of the relation between language, knowledge, and the world; in particular, the papers describe the ways in which evaluative language expresses the value systems of individuals and communities. Finally, the authors have used a particular methodology in their research, the...

We propose a novel unsupervised method for separating out distinct authorial components of a document. In particular, we show that, given a book artificially “munged” from two thematically similar biblical books, we can separate out the two constituent books almost perfectly. This allows us to automatically recapitulate many conclusions reached by Bible scholars over centuries of research. One ...
