Research abstract is a text of foremost importance to students of science and engineering. However, explicit teaching of it tends to be missing in EGP and EGAP curricula of general Japanese English education. This paper reports the evaluation of abstracts written by 3rd-year students in an undergraduate ESP course at a Japanese university of science and engineering. At first, students were taught...
This research paper describes the application of linguistic analysis through scaled co-occurrence networks to create visual representations of systematic literature reviews. This approach uses currently available and free tools in this new application. Co-occurrence networks are a method for visualizing relationships between concepts within written material. The results of a co-occurrence analysis...
Written language as a symbolic medium of expression plays an important role in communications. In particular, written words communicated online can provide indications of an actor's behavioral intent. This paper describes an ongoing investigation into the interconnectivity between words and actions for a deceptive insider on group dynamics in virtual team collaboration. An experiment using an online...
As the use of computer-mediated communications has increased, the potential risk of online deception has grown -- as has the importance of better understanding human behavior online to mitigate these risks. Previous research has demonstrated that linguistic features provide crucial cues to detect deception, and that reasonable accuracy in detection of deception can be achieved by applying certain...
There is a growing belief that understanding and addressing the human processes employed during software development is likely to provide substantially more value to industry than yet more recommendations for the implementation of various methods and tools. To this end, considerable research effort has been dedicated to studying human issues as represented in software artifacts, due to its relatively...
Previous studies showed that linguistic information contained in source code is a valuable source of information and can help to improve program comprehension. The proposed research focuses on improving the quality of source code by studying common negative practices with respect to linguistic information. The definition of the so called linguistic antipatterns are expected to increase the awareness...
In this paper we present Double Tree, a new visualization of Key Word In Context (KWIC) displays targeted to support linguistic analysis. Inspired by Wattenberg's and Viégas' [1] Word Tree visualization, Double Tree extends the idea of representing KWIC results as trees. We address several issues with Word Trees with respect to the specific demands of linguists and discuss the design decisions and...
