Synopsis: This paper outlines a dynamic formalism for modelling interaction. A dynamic formalism models the behaviour potential at each point throughout an interaction, rather than trying to present the possible types of completed interaction structures, as in a synoptic approach. It is thus more concerned with interaction as process, rather than interaction as product. We model an interaction ...

This paper tests the usefulness of the category ‘intonation phrase’ for the analysis of natural conversation. It asks whether the intonation phrase is a relevant unit for participants, and if so, whether it is a prosodic, or indeed an interactional category. The data show that while participants do divide their speech into intonation phrase-like chunks, these chunks are not defined by intonatio...

Despite the rapid growth of text-based computer-mediated communication (CMC), its limitations have rendered the media highly incoherent. This poses problems for content analysis of online discourse archives. Interactional coherence analysis (ICA) attempts to accurately identify and construct CMC interaction networks. In this study, we propose the Hybrid Interactional Coherence (HIC) algorithm f...

Writing is one of the essential things that all students must do. In writing, delivery ideas needs to be arranged so writing easy understand and practical. One type when write a research article for their final project or thesis.

Mobility and ubiquity bring about an increasing engagement in the concept of context. Environmental context such as location or light have been studied for a while, however little research has been done on interactional context – context that evolves in the course of interaction. This paper presents results of an empirical study conducted in order to assess the interactional context. The empiri...

The study examined the relationships among justice, burnout, and academic achievement using a sample (N=1,505) of undergraduate university students. The study was conducted at a university in northern part of Cyprus. Hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to test the hypotheses. The results revealed that distributive justice, procedural justice, and interactional justice were associated...

Mothers' return to work following childbirth is widely recognized as a key stage in establishing employment arrangements that disadvantage them in the long run. This article investigates why mothers accept these unequal arrangements using data from a qualitative study of 109 Australian mothers. It focuses on mothers' perceptions of the fairness and justice of the flexibility of arrangements the...

Since the outbreak of pandemic COVID-19, a huge amount information has been released and shared by individuals, communities specialized organizations. Language serves as powerful tool on which providers depend to convey their advice instructions. In this study, researchers examined frequency interactional metadiscourse markers in WHO's director general's speeches regarding COVID-19 how those ar...

Social actions performed through language are the focal object of research on speech act realization (speech act research,1 for short) and conversation analysis, among other approaches to discourse that I will not consider here. Yet because of their di¤erent disciplinary origins and histories, the two approaches are interested in di¤erent aspects of social action mediated through language and, ...

As a part of pragmatics of language, Metadiscourse (MD) has been widely recognized as playing a pivotal role in the expression and comprehension of messages in academic writing. In view of its significance in effective communication, there have been a lot of attempts to categorize different MD devices within manageable models alongside some descriptive works to demonstrate the use of MD devices...
