In Conversation: Cathy Pearl, Saul Albert and Elizabeth Stokoe – Conversation Analysis and AI
Full text linkIn the second part of NCRM’s In Conversation series on the topic of AI, three guests discuss what happens when researchers in conversation analysis meet conversational technology experts who work in industry.
Cathy Pearl, Saul Albert and Elizabeth Stokoe talk about the process of building partnerships and collaborations in ways that are mutually informing for the development of conversational products
Identity and naturally occurring interaction: An interview with Elizabeth Stokoe
Full text linkDr. Elizabeth Stokoe is one of Europe's foremost authorities on identity-in-interaction. Although her work does not focus on foreign language learning contexts per se, many scholars and students of identity in Japan are familiar with her 2006 book Discourse and Identity, co-authored with Dr. Bethan Benwell, and her qualitative yet strongly empirical approach to documenting identity-in-interaction through Conversation Analysis (CA) and Membership Categorization Analysis (MCA). Dr. Stokoe is Professor of Social Interaction in the Department of Social Sciences, Loughborough University. She was interviewed by Keiko Ikeda.journal articl
Elizabeth Stokoe “Conversation analysis has many applications, from Silicon Valley to medicine”
No full textAnyone who has ever interacted with chatbots knows how frustrating they can be. The way to improve bot performance may be coming from an academic field called conversation analysis. This is the area of research undertaken by Elizabeth Stokoe, professor in LSE’s Department of Psychological and Behavioural Science. Her research focuses on understanding how social interaction works in settings as disparate as first dates, medicine, mediation, emergency service calls, sales and interactions involving conversational user interfaces. In this interview about her work, Elizabeth spoke with Helen Flood (LSE Consulting) and Helena Vieira (LSE Business Review)
The Conversation Analytic Role-play Method: how authentic data meet simulations for interpreter training
Full text linkDeveloped by Stokoe to train professionals working in communication-rich institutions like hospitals, tribunals, and schools, the Conversation Analytic Role-Play Method (CARM) uses anonymised extracts from authentic conversations to enable trainees to learn from what actually happens in encounters. We will here argue that CARM can prove useful for the professionalization of Public Service Interpreting (PSI) and detail how it may be used to train practising interpreters, interpreting students and trainers, as well as public service providers. After raising some theoretical considerations on role-played simulations vs. actual encounters and on the importance of students’ observation and participation in training activities, we will review the literature available on CARM and then present its application. Two alternative training paths will be exemplified: the first is based on audio data with setting and language specific extracts of medical consultations interpreted onsite, the second on video data from various hospital encounters with remote interpreting in various languages. We will show how CARM takes CA research findings as a basis for training as well as how recordings and transcripts can be used together in presentation software to pave the way to relevant take home messages, and finally provide the reader with some further readings and resources
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
