Abstract In this paper I use insights from exploratory analyses on large English language corpora to consider the extent which there is a widely used ordinary notion of justification that attaches beliefs. will show has ramifications for one broad approach theorising about – folk approach. argue corpus-based findings presented pose challenge insofar as they suggest “justify” not talk our conclu...

background: self-talk can be described as what people say to themselves either obviously or non-obviously. self-talk has been known as someone talks inside or quietly. as a matter of fact, self-talk is self-communication which can occur in several situations. objective: together the athlete’s perceptions of the self-talk intervention and its relationship to their performance to obtain informati...

Much research on disfluencies in spontaneous spoken interaction has been carried out on corpora of task-based conversations, resulting in greater understanding of the role of several phenomena. Modern multimodal corpora allow the full spectrum of signals in face to face communication to be analysed. However, the ‘unmarked’ case of casual conversation or social talk with no obvious short-term in...

This talk is a retrospective of speech and language processing as witnessed by the speaker during the last 50 years. From exploratory scientific beginnings that emphasized the discovery of how speech is produced and perceived by humans to today’s plethora of applications using our technology, our field has witnessed explosive growth. The talk will review the historical development of our commun...

A rat's proclivity to explore a novel environment presents a behaviorally rich paradigm to investigate the role of the hippocampus in spatial navigation. Here we describe a novel technique of behavioral analysis that is derived from a single exploratory trip. An exploratory trip was defined as a rat's departure from the home base that ended when the rat returned to the home base. The behavior o...

Cumulative cultural change requires organisms that are capable of both exploratory individual learning and faithful social learning. In our model, an organism's phenotype is initially determined innately (by its genotypic value) or by social learning (copying a phenotype from the parental generation), and then may or may not be modified by individual learning (exploration around the initial phe...
