abstract
the present study reports an analysis of response articles in four different disciplines in the social sciences, i.e., linguistics, english for specific purposes (esp), accounting, and psychology. the study has three phases: micro analysis, macro analysis, and e-mail interview. the results of the micro analysis indicate that a three-level linguistic pattern is used by the writers in order to criticize others’ ideas. these levels are: the morphological, the syntactic, and the discoursal level. each level includes some sublevels: the morphological level: words, phrases, and metaphors, the syntactic level: questions, conditional clauses, and connectors, the discoursal level: audience recruit and discourse community recruit. each of these sublevels also has its own subcategories. the macro analysis of the texts, using swales’ [swales, j. (1990). genre analysis. english in academic and research settings. cambridge: cambridge university press], indicates that nine moves can be realized in the response articles. six moves are common to all of the articles in the corpus, and, thus, are called obligatory: ‘referring to the writer and her/his article’, ‘expressing disagreement or criticism’, ‘stating reasons for disagreement’, ‘supporting disagreement and criticism’, ‘making conclusion’ and ‘proposing a theory, claim, etc.’. the other three moves are optional; they are not seen in all response articles. these moves are: ‘acknowledgement’, ‘determining the domain and subject’, and ‘expressing admiration, approval or agreement’. two of the moves are accomplished by more than one strategy: the move ‘expressing disagreement or criticism’: ‘asking questions’, ‘using conditional clauses’, and ‘direct disagreement’, and the move ‘supporting disagreement and criticism’: ‘referring to or quoting from other writers and researchers’, ‘giving some examples related to the subject’, and ‘referring to one’s own findings’. the analysis of the e-mail interviews with two of the writers of the articles in the corpus supports the results of the text analysis stage.

Micro-Macro Analysis of Complex Networks
Complex systems have attracted considerable interest because of their wide range of applications, and are often studied via a "classic" approach: study a specific system, find a complex network behind it, and analyze the corresponding properties. This simple methodology has produced a great deal of interesting results, but relies on an often implicit underlying assumption: the level of detail o...

The macro-micro analysis method, which is based on the multi-scale analysis, is to compute strong motion distribution with highest spatial and temporal resolution. The linkage of the multi-scale analysis solutions is modified, and the accuracy of the simulation is improved. The computed strong motion distribution is used to shake a computer model of an actual town, which consists of an undergro...

We use agent-based modeling to investigate the effect of conservatism and partisanship on the efficiency with which large populations solve the density classification task - a paradigmatic problem for information aggregation and consensus building. We find that conservative agents enhance the populations' ability to efficiently solve the density classification task despite large levels of noise...

We study the implications of microeconomic heterogeneity for aggregate technology, showing that the aggregate elasticity of substitution between capital and labor can be expressed as a simple function of plant level structural parameters and sufficient statistics for plant heterogeneity. This allows for a new approach to estimating the aggregate elasticity using microeconomic data and allows us...

Business Cycle Accounting (BCA) is a helpful litmus test for quantitive macroeconomic models. Indeed, deviations from the data and a neo-classical growth model can be summarized as distortion of the efficiency of production or to optimality conditions such as leisure-consumption choices and investment Euler equations. These empirical ”wedges” are then a simple diagnostic test for the empirical ...
