This is the first edited volume dedicated specifically to interlanguage request modification. It is a collection of empirical studies carried out by an international array of scholars which provides insights for researchers, graduate students and language teachers on patterns of interlanguage request modification in a range of research contexts and linguistic/cultural settings. The research in this volume takes the reader from a consideration of interlanguage request modification in naturally-occurring e-mail data, through to elicited data from e-DCT questionnaires on cyber-consultations, to the interactive oral discourse of requests in open role-plays. As a whole, the contributions incorporate research with learners from a range of proficiency levels and from diverse linguistic/cultural backgrounds while the chapters individually examine developmental aspects of interlanguage request modification, requests in electronic contexts, comparative learner/native speaker requests, and instructional effects on mitigation. The book will undoubtedly become an important reference for researchers and teachers not only in the field of pragmatics but also in second language acquisition, language teaching, (socio-)linguistics and discourse analysis.

Metadiscourse across Genres: Uncovering Textual and Interactional Aspects of Texts Hatipoğlu, Çiler; Bayyurt Kerestecioğlu, Yasemin (Peter Lang Publishing, Inc., 2017-05-01) Taking metadiscourse as their starting point, the contributions to this edited volume focus both on the interactive and cross-cultural aspects of written texts from varying genres. Using rich and innovative data collection and analysis methods, comparing and contrasting patterns in frequently studied (English, Japanese) with understudied (Turkish, Russian/Ukrainian) languages, and relating empirical data to a web of theoretical frameworks, the articles in this book clearly display the variety, complexity an...

Gaze Aversion In Conversational Settings: An Investigation Based On Mock Job Interview Acartürk, Cengiz; Nawrocki, Piotr; Sniezynski, Bartlomiej; Jarosz, Mateusz; Usal, Kerem Alp (2021-01-01) © 2021. Journal of Eye Movement Research All Rights Reserved.We report the results of an empirical study on gaze aversion during dyadic human-to-human conversation in an interview setting. To address various methodological challenges in assessing gaze-to-face contact, we followed an approach where the experiment was conducted twice, each time with a different set of interviewees. In one of them the interviewer’s gaze was tracked with an eye tracker, and in the other the interviewee’s gaze was tracked. The g...
Spectral modification for context-free voice conversion using MELP speech coding framework Salor, O; Demirekler, Mübeccel (2004-10-22) In this work, we have focused on spectral modification of speech for voice con version from one speaker to another. Speech conversion aims to modify the speech of one speaker such that the modified speech sounds as if spoken by another speaker. MELP (Mixed Excitation Linear Prediction) speech coding algorithm has been used as speech analysis and synthesis framework. Using a 230-sentence triphone balanced database of the two speakers, a mapping between the 4-stage vector quantization indexes for line spectra...
RECOGNITION OF MUSICAL TONALITY FROM SOUND INPUT IZMIRLI, O; BILGEN, S (1994-04-14) Work on the problem of computer based determination of the musical mode and tonality of a melody from sound input is presented. The study proposes a tool for determination of a time dependent tonal context vector for melodies from acoustical input. Each element of this vector, called a tonal component, indicates the extent of a specific scale usage. The system is made up of two stages: The first is involved in digital signal processing and is used to convert sound input of melodies into a sequence of musica...
