Text-only CMC has been claimed to be interactionally incoherent due to limitations imposed by messaging systems on turn-taking and reference, yet its popularity continues to grow. In an attempt to resolve this apparent paradox, this study evaluates the coherence of computermediated interaction by surveying research on cross-turn coherence. The results reveal a high degree of disrupted adjacency...

Interactional quality has been shown to enhance learning during book reading and play, but has not been examined during touch screen use. Learning to apply knowledge from a touch screen is complex for infants because it involves transfer of learning between a two-dimensional (2D) screen and three-dimensional (3D) object in the physical world. This study uses a touch screen procedure to examine ...

The International speaker Dr Zakir Naik has been the target of many studies for his influential speeches. Analysing persuasive speeches can be tackled from different angles, amongst which is functional markers persuasion represented by Metadiscourse markers. Naik's have never analyzed a metadiscourse perspective. This paper aims to investigate types and functions in After transcribing videos ma...

I n the paper, we propose a vision-based system for adaptively inferring the interactional intention of a person coming close to a robot, which plays an important role i n the succeeding stage of human/robot cooperative operations typically i n production lines. It is naturally supposed that the interactional intention of a person induces her action of approaching to the robot and touchiny it. ...

The semantics of the times macro is given in [2] only for the case when the body of the macro is parahalting. We remedy this by defining a new times macro instruction in terms of while (see [9, 13]). The semantics of the new times macro is given in a way analogous to the semantics of while macros. The new times uses an anonymous variable to control the number of its executions. We present two e...

Writers ensure the expected (re)construction of concepts in the mind of the audience through effective signposting of the inevitably linear linguistic stream, which is a main aspect of metadiscourse called interactive metadiscourse. In this study, the use of interactive metadiscourse markers in research articles was investigated to examine any probable difference existing between different disc...

Why should wait for some days to get or receive the macro 11 assembly language architecture and structured programming book that you order? Why should you take it if you can get the faster one? You can find the same book that you order right here. This is it the book that you can receive directly after purchasing. This macro 11 assembly language architecture and structured programming is well k...

This comparative analysis of teacher-student interaction in two different instructional settings at the elementary-school level (18.3 hr in French immersion and 14.8 hr Japanese immersion) investigates the immediate effects of explicit correction, recasts, and prompts on learner uptake and repair. The results clearly show a predominant provision of recasts over prompts and explicit correction, ...
