The present study explored the rhetorical representation of authorial identity signaled by interactive/interactional metadiscourse strategies and integral/non-integral citation patterns in international and Iranian local research article discussion sections. The study also explored variation in metadiscourse and citation resources across three subdisciplines of Language Testing, English Languag...

We propose an interactional generalisation of structured exceptions based on the session type discipline. Interactional exceptions allow communicating peers to asynchronously and collaboratively escape from the middle of a dialogue and reach another in a coordinated fashion, under an arbitrary nesting of exceptions. New exception types guarantee communication safety and offer a precise type-abs...

The focus of this study is interaction during speech and language intervention in children with phonological impairment. Interactional patterns between children and therapists in two different settings are compared; on the one hand ‘tabletop’ phonological intervention and, on the other hand, computer-assisted phonological intervention. The interactions are compared in terms of interactional dom...

Consonants in word onsets are more often than other consonants involved in interactional speech errors [8] [9]. This has been explained from the process of speech preparation [9] or from the higher degree of activation of initial versus other consonants [2], or from phonotactic constraints on speech errors [6]. Here we report a tongue-twister experiment showing (a) that words in each other’s im...

Both expectations towards interactions with conspecifics, and genetic predispositions, affect adults׳ social behaviors. However, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. Here, we report data to investigate the interaction between genetic factors, (oxytocin receptor (OXTR) and serotonin transporter (5-HTTLPR) polymorphisms), and adult interactional patterns in shaping physiological resp...

Since children (5-9 years old) are still developing their emotional and social skills, their social interactional behaviors in small groups might differ from adults’ interactional behaviors. In order to develop a robot that is able to support children performing collaborative tasks in small groups, it is necessary to gain a better understanding of how children interact with each other. We were ...

In this article, we propose the vulnerability cycle as a construct for understanding and working with couples' impasses. We expand the interactional concept of couples' reciprocal patterns to include behavioral and subjective dimensions, and articulate specific processes that trigger and maintain couples' entanglements. We consider the vulnerability cycle as a nexus of integration in which "vul...
