This talk presents an interface that has been developed to enable users to access genealogical information via speech. Whereas the more traditional approaches for accessing data are prevalent in today’s commercial genealogical products (e.g. windows, icons, and point-and-click methods), hands-free access to information is becoming increasingly popular. There would seem to be a potential demand ...

First, we survey the nonstandard or exaggerated linguistic characteristics that Englishlanguage genealogical text (and indeed that of other languages) often exhibits. For example, in English genealogical prose frequent repetition of subject pronouns is avoided---they are simply dropped, though this would usually be considered ungrammatical except in diaries. Also, genealogical text frequently m...

This study describes the power and knowledge relationship between two of puppeteers mask puppet show in Malang district. qualitative research used interviews observation to collect data, which were then analysed using Foucault’s genealogical method. The results showed that have a more substantial orientation than other puppeteers. obtained their power–knowledge by disciplining bodies for severa...

Animals in captive or laboratory settings may outperform wild animals of the same species in both frequency and diversity of tool use, a phenomenon here termed 'captivity bias'. Although speculative at this stage, a logical conclusion from this concept is that animals whose tool-use behaviour is observed solely under natural conditions may be judged cognitively or physically inferior than if th...

Linguists have traditionally represented patterns of divergence within a language family in terms of either a 'splits' model, corresponding to a branching family tree structure, or the wave model, resulting in a (dialect) continuum. Recent phylogenetic analyses, however, have tended to assume the former as a viable idealization also for the latter. But the contrast matters, for it typically ref...

Introduction The Dutch DBC-system was developed and implemented between 2000 and 2005. When compared to other members of the 'classification family tree' it can be concluded that the system is not a logical step in the general line of development of classification systems. On a number of characteristics the Dutch system stands out from the other systems. One major differing characteristic being...

The concept of Genealogical Sorting Indexes (GSIs) was first introduced by Cummings et al. [1]. Given a set of observations belonging to different groups (represented in the form of a hierarchial tree), the Genealogical Sorting Index (GSI) value obtained for a particular group provides a quantitative measure of how closely the observations belonging to this group have clustered in the given tre...
