Authorship Identification

The article discusses the texts of Internet-based communication and correspondence in a messenger, the attention is paid to description of similarities and differences between oral and written dialogical speech. The problems of neutralizing speech features in the format of Internet-based communication and the transformation of attributes, which provide individual characteristic of the author demonstrated whilst exchanging messages in a messenger. It has been proposed to define the form of speech, typical of correspondence in the messenger, as dialogical written (printed) speech, with reference to it as to the product of intellectual activity in combination with the form of its implementation, taking into account the factor of the author's usage of technical means for typing. The author represents the approaches to identifying significant speech characteristics, which are demonstrated by the addresser in written correspondence in the messenger; these approaches are often analyzed in the process of authorship identification tests. The possibility of revealing a complex of author's individualizing features is proved. This paper emphasizes the importance of studying the signs of the graphic and communicative levels of the analysis of dialogical texts, provides the examples of implementation of such signs. In this article the relevance of combining linguistic and quantitative methods of analysis in revealing the author's individualizing identificational features is proved, the paper also outlines the prospects for further research in the field of studying the linguistic personality of the digital age.

AbstractIn the field of second language (L2) fluency, there is a common adherence to quantitative methods to examine characteristics and features of speech. This study extends the field by reporting on an investigation that analyzed native-speaker listeners’ perceptions of L2 fluency in French from a qualitative perspective. Three untrained judges rated students’ performance on speech tasks varying in cognitive demand and provided justifications for their perceptions of fluency. The goal of the research was to examine the factors that affect raters’ evaluations of fluency in response to three oral performances from 40 adult learners of French of varying proficiency. Qualitative analysis revealed that the main speech features that influenced native listeners’ perceptions of L2 fluency were speed, rhythm, pause phenomena, self-correction and efficiency/effortlessness in word choice, but also in target-like rhythm and prosody. The results of using such qualitative methodology highlights the important role that rhythm plays in fluency judgements in syllable-timed languages such as French, a factor which has not always been given much prominence in previous L2 fluency quantitative research.

Fundamental Units

Linguistics, epistemology and psychology share many common interests; for instance, an interest in the learning of language, in the nature of the fundamental units of which linguistic systems are composed, in the correspondence between language operations, logical operations and intellectual operations. The phenomenon of COMPARISON falls under the latter rubric, as do, for instance, NEGATION, ASSERTION and PREDICATION. In the literature of these three disciplines we find ample evidence of an interest in the latter three phenomena, but there has been surprisingly little discussion of comparison. We say, ‘surprisingly’, since of these four operations comparison might well be held to be the most important. In any kind of classification the fundamental intellectual activity is the comparing of one object, event, etc. with another or with others. Further, to adopt the terminology of psychology, our behaviour in any situation must be governed to some extent by the recognition, whether implicit or explicit, of similarities and differences between that situation and others with which we have had to deal.

Similarities And Differences

Using empirical and quantitative methods Pentecostal ministers are compared in the three locations of Hong Kong, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. After providing an account of the historical backgrounds of Pentecostal churches in these locations, similarities and differences in the samples may be attributed to environmental or cultural effects. The paper concludes that there is evidence that cultural differences affect the views of respondents in a variety of measurable ways including in their opinion of ecumenical cooperation and in their attitudes to the poor or disadvantaged.

Specifically purified anti-p-azobenzoate antibodies of the IgG class from individual rabbits were used to elicit anti-idiotypic antibodies in recipient rabbits. Allotypes of each donor and recipient were matched. When polymerized antibodies were used for immunization, more than 80% of the recipients responded with the formation of antibodies that precipitated the monomeric donor antibody. Percentages of precipitable molecules in the donor antibody population (D) varied from 4 to 56. As little as 4% was readily detectable by the Ouchterlony method or precipitin test. Specificity of the reaction was tested by double diffusion in agar gel against a panel of purified antibenzoate antibodies from 14 heterologous rabbits and, quantitatively, in three systems by measurement of the extent of coprecipitation of heterologous, radiolabeled antibenzoate antibodies. No cross-reactions were observed. Reactions were shown to be attributable to antibenzoate antibodies in the donor serum, and contributions of allotypic reactions were excluded. In three systems investigated quantitatively, and in one studied qualitatively, two recipients of the same donor antibody produced anti-antibody that reacted with essentially the same subfraction of the donor antibody population. The findings that only a portion of the D population is immunogenic, and that the same subfraction is frequently immunogenic in different recipients, suggest that the immunogenic population comprises a limited number of homogeneous groups of antibody molecules. This is supported by the small number of bands usually observed by the Ouchterlony technique. Quantitative methods of analysis should provide an approach to the study of cell populations producing antibodies of a particular idiotype.

Value Decomposition

Qualitative content analysis is the most common method to compare advertisements cross-culturally or cross-generationally. However, quantitative methods, such as chi-square or Fisher tests, can also be used. In this paper, we introduce results for Fisher tests, seriation and single-value decomposition that prove useful in determining similarities and differences in cultural appeals in advertising.
