Conversational AI
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to Conversational AI. While the idea of interacting with a computer using voice or text goes back a long way, it is only in recent years that this idea has become a reality with the emergence of digital personal assistants, smart speakers, and chatbots. Advances in AI, particularly in deep learning, along with the availability of massive computing power and vast amounts of data, have led to a new generation of dialogue systems and conversational interfaces. Current research in Conversational AI focuses mainly on the application of machine learning and statistical data-driven approaches to the development of dialogue systems. However, it is impo...
Handbook of Technical Communication
The Handbook of Technical Communication brings together a variety of topics which range from the role of technical media in human communication to the linguistic, multimodal enhancement of present-day technologies. It covers the area of computer-mediated text, voice and multimedia communication as well as of technical documentation. In doing so, the handbook takes professional and private communication into account. Special emphasis is put on technical communication by means of web 2.0 technologies and its standardization in system development. In summary, the handbook deals with theoretical issues of technical communication and its practical impact on the development and usage of text and speech technologies.
Saussure and Sechehaye: Myth and Genius
In this book, Pieter Seuren argues that Ferdinand de Saussure has been grossly overestimated over the past century, while his junior colleague Albert Sechehaye has been undeservedly ignored. Saussure was anything but the great innovator he is generally believed to be. Sechehaye was a genius providing many trenchant analyses and anticipating many modern insights. The lives and works of both men are discussed in detail and they are placed in the cultural, intellectual and social environment of their day. Much attention is paid to the theoretical issues involved, in particular to the notion and history of structuralism, to the great subject-predicate debate that dominated linguistic theory at the time, and to questions of methodology in the theory of language.
Toward Multimodal Pragmatics
Classic pragmatic theories emphasize the linguistic aspect of illocutionary acts and forces. However, as multimodality has gained importance and popularity, multimodal pragmatics has quickly become a frontier of pragmatic studies. This book adds to this new research trend by offering a perspective of situated discourse in the Chinese context. Using the multimodal corpus approach, this study examines how speakers use multiple devices to perform illocutionary acts and express illocutionary forces. Not only does the author use qualitative analysis to study the types, characteristics, and emergence patterns of illocutionary forces, he also performs a quantitative, corpus-based analysis of the interaction of illocutionary forces, emotions, prosody, and gestures. The results show that illocutionary forces are multimodal in nature while meaning in discourse is created through an interplay of an array of modalities. Students and scholars of pragmatics, corpus linguistics, and Chinese linguistics will benefit from this title.
Mensch-Maschine-Interaktion
Das Lehrbuch richtet sich nach den Vorlesungen »Mensch-Maschine-Interaktion« an der LMU München und ist im Gegensatz zu bestehenden MMI-Büchern explizit als kompaktes Grundlagenlehrbuch konzipiert. Zusätzlich zum Buch wird eine Website mit Bildmaterial, Foliensätzen, Verständnisfragen und Übungsaufgaben angeboten. Die dritte und aktualisierte Auflage wurde an einigen Stellen erweitert und präzisiert und enthält zudem ein neues Kapitel über Voice User Interfaces.

Modalpartikeln als multimodale Konstruktionen
Ähnlich wie Modalpartikeln (Abtönungspartikeln) können Gesten unter anderem dazu verwendet werden, bestimmte Nuancen oder Stellungnahmen zur Äußerung zu vermitteln. Ihre Interaktion mit den Modalpartikeln wurde aber bislang nicht näher untersucht. Dieses Buch legt anhand eines Korpus von Fernseh- und Parlamentsmaterialien für sieben Modalpartikeln des Deutschen (denn, doch, eben, eigentlich, einfach, halt, ja) dar, mit welchen Gesten sie kombiniert werden und welche externen Faktoren dieses Kookkurrenzverhalten beeinflussen. Zwei dieser Kombinationsmuster werden im Fallstudienteil ausführlicher besprochen: die Kombination von einfach mit einem Kopfschütteln und die Kombination von j...
Человек и мир сквозь призму языка. Философские раздумья
Монография известного ученого – лингвиста, филолога, философа, доктора филологических наук, профессора Марка Яковлевича Блоха посвящена учению о языке как призме, сквозь которую человек воспринимает мироздание и находит в нем свое место. Это место, отраженное языком, в свою очередь демонстрирует сам язык как такую принадлежность человека, которая своими функциями превращает его в личность.
