“Nice to get to know you” : Social presence in virtual exchange discourse

2020

Virtual exchange comprises online collaborative activities in facilitated, educational contexts across borders. This paper offers a multimodal approach to the study of social presence in students’ asynchronous online discourse in the context of virtual exchange. It draws on the Community of Inquiry model of online learning (Garrison 2017) and interprets social presence as the dynamic discursive process of social interaction and self-presentation. The data consists of screenshots collected in a closed Facebook group during the first assignment of a Czech-Finnish virtual exchange project in 2017. The study aims to explore how the method of multimodal discourse analysis can be used to describe…

Spēļu instrukciju modalitāte

2022

Modalitāte ir gramatiskās kategorija, kas atspoguļo izteikuma nozīmību, mērķi un attieksmi pret īstenību. Ar modalitās palīdzību tiek izpaustas tādas funkcijas kā spējas, iespējas, nepieciešamība un pienākums. Pētījuma mērķis ir noskaidrot modalitātes veidus un to funkcionalitāti kas izmantota spēļu instrukcijās. Lai sasniegtu šo mērķi, tika aplūkota teorētiskā literatūra par modalitāti, veikta korpusa analīze un diskursa analīzi. Pētījuma rezultātā tika noskaidrots, ka spēļu instrukciju tekstos tiek izmantota gan deontiskā, gan epistēmiskā modalitāte, kā arī imperatīvā un indikatīvā izteiksme. Spēļu instrukcijās visbiežāk tiek izteiktas nepieciešamības, iespējamības, solījuma un atļaujas f…

Modal analysis for random response of MDOF systems

1990

The usefulness of the mode-superposition method of multidegrees of freedom systems excited by stochastic vector processes is here presented. The differential equations of moments of every order are written in compact form by means of the Kronecker algebra; then the method for integration of these equations is presented for both classically and non-classically damped systems, showing that the fundamental operator available for evaluating the response in the deterministic analysis is also useful for evaluating the response in the stochastic analysis.

Sensory modalities and mental content in product experience

2015

Contemporary research in human-technology interaction emphasises the need to focus on what people experience when they interact with technological artefacts. Understanding how people experience products requires detailed investigation of how physical design properties are mentally represented, and the theorisation of how people represent information obtained through different modalities still needs work. The objective of this study is to investigate how people experience modality-related affective aspects of products, using the psychological concept of mental content. For this purpose, we adopt the framework of user psychology, which is the sub-area of psychology involved with investigating…

Apperception as a Multisensory Process in Material Experience

2015

Visual perspective has dominated experience research in humantechnology interaction for decades now. The neglect of other sensory modalities is gradually being addressed by scholars and designers, who investigate user experience based on touch, smell, taste, sound and even expressive bodily interactions. In cognitive and affective processes, user experience is always multi-modal, not just regarding perceived multi-sensory information, but also while perceiving through one modality we mentally construct information relevant to the other senses. This article reports the results of an experiment, where participants (N = 52) appraised materials either only by touching them or only by seeing. Th…

The Use of Multimodal Resources by Technical Managers and Their Peers in Meetings Using English as the Business Lingua Franca

2020

Background: Engineers increasingly work and advance their careers in international business settings. As technical managers, they need management and technical skills when working with different stakeholders with whom they may not share a common first language. Studies have revealed that informal oral communication skills are of prime importance for global engineers who face challenges in building shared meaning and formulating clear messages in meetings with non-native speakers of English. This article proposes that studying the use of multimodal resources (spoken language, gaze, gestures, and objects) in meetings can unpack how work tasks are accomplished in business through different com…

Kommunikation im fremdsprachlichen Klassenzimmer - ein Beispiel multimodaler Analyse

2017

Il testo presenta un analisi multimodale di alcune sequenze durante una lezione di tedesco svoltasi in un liceo linguistico nel Trentino-Alto Adige. Vengono focalizzati i diversi livelli di attenzioni degli apprendenti sia nell'interazione con l'insegnante sia nella comunicazioni tra discenti. L'analisi rivela determinate forme di schematizzazione e di routine dell'interazione in classe, nella comunicazione verbale e non verbale, che induce a una maggiore riflessione e un approccio più consapevole nell'ambito dell'insegnamento. Nach einer Auseinandersetzung mit dem Multimodalitätskonzept wird ein Verfahren vorgestellt, das sich im Rahmen der semiotisch orientierten multimodalen Diskursanaly…
