This essay examines cultural and structural patterns of information use in a virtual meeting. An information landscape model provided an abductive approach for guiding ethnographic data collection acquired through participant observation. A political frame of information use was applied to analyze field data. The themes that emerged from the ethnographic componential analysis were governance an...

THE outline of a componential descriptive model of voice quality is suggested, in the hope of facilitating discussion about voice quality among phoneticians, linguists, speech therapists, psychologists and psychiatrists. Emphasis is laid on the function of voice quality as an index to biological, psychological and social characteristics of the speaker.

Drawing on the ‘buzz-and-pipeline’ framework, this paper examines impact of intra- and interregional collaboration linkages innovation capacity cities, as evidenced by co-publication networks existing among 217 Chinese cities located in 20 city-regions. The results show that (1) have an inverted ‘U’-shaped positive relationship with capacity, respectively; (2) effects urban can be enhanced when...

Emotions can be defined as multi-componential, including subjective feeling, appraisals, reactions in the service of action preparation and expressions, action tendencies (including expressions), and regulation (compare Scherer, 2005; Frijda, 2007). A central component of emotions, the “feeling component,” is inherently subjective and can only be assessed with selfreport measures, such as the G...

Several natural language applications need domain-dependent semantic lexicons. However, these lexicons are not available for every domain, and their buildings must therefore be (as much as possible) automated. In this paper, we present and experiment a corpus-based methodology to automatically build a componential representation of meaning in a lexicon (Rastier 1996), without any preliminary le...

We propose extensions of the classical JSM-method and the Naı̈ve Bayesian classifier for the case of triadic relational data. We performed a series of experiments on various types of data (both real and synthetic) to estimate quality of classification techniques and compare them with other classification algorithms that generate hypotheses, e.g. ID3 and Random Forest. In addition to classificati...

Despite an objectivist vision by many heritage conservation bodies, the extant literature mostly dwells on value of as something subjective and arbitrary. Semiotically treating built-heritage a Peircian triadic sign, instead dyadic could reconcile this apparent dichotomy. Some squares Macau]’s Historic Centre are taken case study. Using Coasian perspective, paper argues how meaning-delimiting c...
