Touch in Social Interaction: Touch, Language, and Body By Asta Cekaite (editor), Lorenza Mondada (editor)
2020 | 344 Pages | ISBN: 1138541931 | PDF | 16 MB
Rooted in multimodal conversation analysis and based on video recordings of naturally occurring social interactions, this book presents a novel analytical perspective for the study of touch. The authors focus on how different forms of touch are interactionally organized in everyday, institutional, and professional practices, showing how touch is multimodally achieved in social interaction, how it acquires its significance, how it is embedded in the current activity and in its social context, and how it is systematically intertwined with talk, facial expressions, and body posture. Including work by a wide range of renowned researchers, this volume provides rich visual illustrations of situations featuring touch as a social and intersubjective practice. The studies make a compelling contribution to the field by clearly examining and demonstrating the social meaning of touch for the participants in social interaction in a broad range of contexts. Presenting a new methodology for the study of touch, this is key reading for all researchers and scholars working in conversation analysis, multimodality, and related areas.

Embodied Human-Computer Interaction in Vocal Music Performance
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031179846 | 154 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 3 MB
This SpringerBrief provides a unique insight into the practice and research of the connections between voice, HCI and embodiment. Specifically, it explores how the voice can be embodied and mediated by means of gestural communication through sensor interfaces and aims to situate and contextualise various aspects that generate meaningful connections in such interactive interface performance. The author offers an approach for understanding creative practices between humans and computers in gestural live music performance, from the perspective of the embodied relationships created within such systems. Underlying practices, principles and sensor technologies that support creativity in embodied human-computer interaction in vocal music performance are examined and a dynamic framework and tools for anyone wishing to engage with this subject in depth are presented.

Social Interaction, Social Context, and Language: Essays in Honor of Susan Ervin-Tripp By Dan Isaac Slobin (editor), Julie Gerhardt (editor), Amy Kyratzis (editor), Guo Jiansheng (editor)
1996 | 680 Pages | ISBN: 080581499X | PDF | 12 MB
This collection of essays is a representative sample of the current research and researchers in the fields of language and social interactions and social context. The opening chapter, entitled "Context in Language," is written by Susan Ervin-Tripp, whose diverse and innovative research inspired the editors to dedicate this book to her honor. Ervin-Tripp is known for her work in the fields of linguistics, psychology, child development, sociology, anthropology, rhetoric, and women's studies. She has played a central role in the definition and establishment of psycholinguistics, child language development, and sociolinguistics, and has been an innovator in terms of approaches and methods of study. This book covers a wide range of research interests in the field, from linguistically oriented approaches to social and ethnography oriented approaches. The issue of the relationships between forms and structures of language and social interactions is examined in studies of both adult and child speech. It is a useful anthology for graduate students studying language and social interaction, as well as for researchers in this field.

Charlotte Damm, Janne Saarikivi, "Networks, Interaction and Emerging Identities in Fennoscandia and Beyond: Papers from the Conference held in Tromsø, Norway, October 13-16 2009"
English | 2012 | ISBN: 9525667391 | PDF | pages: 314 | 4.6 mb
This volume is a collection of articles based on papers that were presented at the conference iNetworks, Interaction and Emerging Identities in Fennoscandia and Beyond/i, 13‒16 October 2009. The articles span a wide range of themes from vast networks of culture to the distribution of individual archaeological types and linguistic features. Many of the papers are based on material that derives from several different fields of study, such as linguistic and archaeology, archaeology and ethnohistory, history and anthropology, etc. While the time-scale, disciplinary character as well as the geographical scope of the articles are very diverse, they are united by three aspects, namely insistence on the fluctuating character of the prehistoric populations as opposed to nominal groups and straightforwardly identifiable ethnic and linguistic entities; the focus on the hunter-fisher-gatherer populations rather than agriculturalists and sedentary communities that have been the subject of most research on networking and interaction; and finally the northern dimension.

Official Statistics-A Plaything of Politics?: On the Interaction of Politics, Official Statistics, and Ethical Principles by Reimund Mink
English | PDF,EPUB | 2023 | 394 Pages | ISBN : 3031046234 | 42 MB
This book describes official statistics as a tool to hold up a mirror to society - but also as an instrument for those who can manipulate this mirror. It addresses the precarious interaction of politics, official statistics, and ethical principles. Three sets of themes can be derived from this relationship, which are the focus of this book: Political systems and guiding principles, official statistics as a science of the state, and ethical issues arising from them. Ultimately, the determining factor is the political system that exists in each case.

The Cation-π Interaction
English | 2022 | ISBN: 9811973342 | 315 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 82 MB
This book introduces the role of cation-πinteractions in chemistry, biology, and polymer materials science. Since the cation-πinteraction was defined in 1990, its importance has been recognized in a variety of fields due to its relatively significant interaction energy. A number of examples are introduced in which the contribution of cation-π interactions was evidenced by X-ray structures, spectroscopies, computations, and other means. The latest developments in these areas are remarkable; therefore, many recent examples are included.As this book covers the basic aspects of the applications of cation-πinteractions it is useful for students and researchers in a wide variety of scientific fields. In addition, the book will not only facilitate understanding of the phenomena occurring in various systems but also provides insights into the design of new catalysts, reactions, and materials.

Yoko Sugioka, "Interaction of Derivational Morphology and Syntax in Japanese and English"
English | 2020 | ISBN: 036700187X, 0367001748 | PDF | pages: 259 | 13.8 mb
Originally published in 1986, this book discusses how the proper boundary between the lexicon and syntax should be defined and examines various word formation processes in Japanese and English which involve some interaction of morphology and syntax. It also questions the plausibility of the lexicalist hypothesis as a theory of universal grammar. It proposes a rule typology approach to the syntax/lexicon dichotomy and looks at deverbal nominals and compounds in English and Japanese and discusses their similarities and differences. In particular the important role argument structure plays in morphological derivations is analysed.
