Spontaneous Gestures in L2 Naturalistic Spontaneous Interaction: Effects of Language Proficiency

Inhibitory Control and L2 Proficiency Modulate Bilingual Language Production: Evidence from Spontaneous Monologue and Dialogue Speech

Bilingual language production requires that speakers recruit inhibitory control (IC) to optimally balance the activation of more than one linguistic system when they produce speech. Moreover, the amount of IC necessary to maintain an optimal balance is likely to vary across individuals as a function of second language (L2) proficiency and inhibitory capacity, as well as the demands of a particu...

Recognizing Visual Signatures of Spontaneous Head Gestures

Head movements are an integral part of human nonverbal communication. As such, the ability to detect various types of head gestures from video is important for robotic systems that need to interact with people or for assistive technologies that may need to detect conversational gestures to aid communication. To this end, we propose a novel Multi-Scale Deep Convolution-LSTM architecture, capable...

Framework for spontaneous 3D referring gestures analysis

This paper presents a framework proposal aiming at analysing 3D spontaneous referring gestures which occur in multimodal interactions. Our approach is co mposed by two main steps: a structural segmentation of 3D continuous gestural signal and a perception or iented interpretation stage. Both modules which already exist have now to be merged, and the whole process validated with actual t ajector...

The Acquisition Of L2 in Instructed and Naturalistic Settings

هدف عمدهء این مقاله بررسی تحلیلی دو شیوه فراگیری زبان دوم، تحت شرایط محیط طبیعی زبان و آموزش کلاسی می‌باشد. در نوشتهء حاضر،پژوهش‌های صورت گرفته در این زمینه مورد بررسی دقیق قرار گرفته و نتایج آنها ارائه خواهد شد. بررسی تحقیقات انجام گرفته و نتایج حاصله نشان می‌دهد که‌ آموزش کلاسی روند فراگیری زبان دوم را آسانتر نموده و باعث ارتقای کیفی و کمی فراگیری زبان دوم می‌شود
