Linguistic politeness (LP) refers to the set of “linguistic features mediating norms of social behaviour, in relation to such notions as courtesy, rapport, deference and distance” (Crystal 2008). Although researchers (e.g. Eelen 2001, Watts 2003) agree that it is intimately connected to normativity, group hierarchy and cooperation – the core questions of human ethology and human behavioural eco...
Pedagogical agent research seeks to exploit Reeves and Nass’s Media Equation theory, which holds that users respond to interactive media as if they were social actors. Investigations have tended to focus on the media used to realize the pedagogical agent, e.g., the use of animated talking heads and voices, and the results have been mixed. This paper focuses instead on the manner in which a peda...

This paper discusses some problems regarding the measurement of breathiness directly from the acoustic waveform, especially the estimation of aspiration noise found in the high frequency region, which is a prominent feature of breathiness. Klatt and Klatt (1990) suggested the noise rating method for this, which employed the subjective ratings of visual observation of the irregularity of wavefor...
Should an intelligent software tutor be polite, in an effort to motivate and cajole students to learn, or should it use more direct language? If it should be polite, under what conditions? In a series of studies in different contexts (e.g., lab versus classroom) with a variety of students (e.g., low prior knowledge versus high prior knowledge), the politeness effect was investigated in the cont...
