Live coding performances provide a context with particular demands and limitations for music making. In this paper we discuss how as the live coding duo aa-cell we have responded to these challenges, and what this experience has revealed about the computational representation of music and approaches to interactive computer music performance. In particular we have identified several effective an...

if the target of foreign language teaching is to use the language, communicative language teaching (clt) seems to be an ideal teaching model. the goal of teaching with this method is to use the language as a medium of communication (adi, 2012).the application of the communicative approach in teaching english as a foreign language, however, is associated with some problems that can cause the met...

Purpose: To analyze the longitudinal performance of children with Language Impairments (LI) on a pragmatic test, in order to observe the development of communicative abilities through speech and language therapy (SLT). Methods: Fifty six children from both sexes and ages ranging from 1;10 (years;months) and 5;11 in the first evaluation participated of this study. All subjects were diagnosed wit...

The complex social worlds of many animal species may be linked to complex communicative systems in those species. We now have evidence in diverse taxa and in different communicative modalities suggesting that complexity in social groups can drive complexity in signalling systems. The aim of this theme issue is to develop the theory behind this link between social complexity and communicative co...

Speech prosody, just like the segmental aspect of speech, conveys communicative meanings by encoding functional contrasts. The contrasts are realized through articulation, a biomechanical process with specific constraints. Prosodic phonology or any other theory of prosody therefore cannot be autonomous from either communicative functions or biophysical mechanisms. Successful modeling of speech ...

In a web group-learning environment, students must communicate with other group members on the Internet to accomplish group projects and share knowledge. Communication is likely to affect performance and so analysing the relationship between communicative relationships and group performance may help teachers to monitor groups effectively. Certain tasks are necessary to perform such an analysis ...

The objective of this study is to evaluate language outcome in pre-term children, considering multiple factors. The hypothesis is that early communicative capacity (pre-verbal communicative utterances) is affected mainly by biological (prematurity, birth weight, and gender) and social factors (maternal education), while more advanced linguistic abilities (i.e., combinatorial and syntactic abili...
