Problem based learning (PBL) has been introduced at Victoria University (VU) into its undergraduate engineering programs. PBL represents a radical change and requires substantial effort and commitment to adapt traditional practices in response to the challenges of PBL and related communication needs of a diverse student population. Furthermore, professional bodies, such as Engineers Australia, ...

Abstract This article investigates the use of touch as a tool for engaging prospective next speakers within Indonesian multiparty conversation. We examine lamination onto questions directed towards specifically targeted recipients. First, we find that with are deployed when physical environment complicates attainment mutual orientation. Second, previously recipients have failed to respond quest...

Many “histories” of linguistics have been written over the last two hundred years, and since the 1970s linguistic historiography has become a specialized subfield, with conferences, professional organizations, and journals of its own. Works on the history of linguistics often had such goals as defending a particular school of thought, promoting nationalism in various countries, or focussing on ...

Abstract This paper investigates whether language and music share cognitive resources for structural processing. We report an experiment which used sung materials and manipulated linguistic complexity (subject-extracted relative clauses, object-extracted relative clauses) and m...

The linguistic expression of subjectivity is a complex phenomenon that has been the object reflection by several sub-areas Linguistics and, more recently, Computational Linguistics. Linguistic subjectivity, in terms speaker's opinions and attitudes, affects all levels discourse organization present, to different degrees, diverse textual genres. Subjectivity bias are connected, sense presence re...

Recent advances in the data sciences, particularly within the area of language technology, have been impressive and nonincremental. For example, within the domain of language translation, the application of deep Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) neural networks to large bodies of text have resulted in a 60% reduction in translation errors from traditional methods, significantly closing the gap betw...

after considering the security for costs as a rarely considered establishment and analyzing legal points and problems concerning that security which is located among the articles on provisional remedy, and after having a look at the security for costs against foreign claimants, present research analysis brings the security for costs in probate matters as its main subject into focus to the exten...

In a previous report we used the Linked Dipole Chain model unintegrated gluon densities to investigate the uncertainties in the predictions for central exclusive production of scalars at hadron colliders. Here we expand this investigation by also looking at other parameterizations of the unintegrated gluon density, and look in more detail on the behavior of these at small k⊥. We confirm our con...

Seeing others is a central metaphor in James Cameron’s film Avatar, used as a means to express empathy and empathic bonding throughout the film, both between humans and the Na’vi, and between the Na’vi and the animals that inhabit their world. Empathy entails an ability to see and feel the world from another’s perspective—feeling with rather than feeling for. Jake Sully’s shifting and boundary-...
