Determining which factors promote or impede the sharing of knowledge within organizations constitutes an important area of research. This paper examines knowledge sharing through the lens of equity theory. The study will explore the impact of three types of justice – distributional, procedural and interactional – on knowledge sharing. Hypotheses regarding the influence of distributional, proced...

Consonants in word onsets are, in English and Dutch, more frequently misspoken than consonants in other positions, and also more frequently than expected from the relative numbers of onset consonants and other consonants. We argue here that relative numbers of segments in specific positions in the word is not a valid predictor of relative frequencies of segmental speech errors. A more valid pre...

This article proposes an extension to domestication theory by introducing the concept of collaborative domestication, which we define as ongoing mutual influence and interdependence technology users in specific interactional contexts. arose from our investigation how patients integrate healthcare-related video consultations into their daily lives. In Denmark, Covid-19 pandemic has expedited imp...

Visual object database browsers are essentially based on two kinds of interactions: navigation within a collection of objects, and navigation between objects via their relationships. These two interactional operators have proven to adequately support the main user task addressed by these tools, i.e. exploring the states of a set of related objects. In temporal object databases, visual browsing ...

We analyse a recent paper by Goddiksen (2014) where the author raises questions about the relationship between authorship, attribution and Collins & Evans' concept of contributory and interactional expertise. We then highlight recent empirical work in the sociology of climate change science that has made similar points in order to clarify how authorship, division of labour and contribution are ...

Synopsis: This paper outlines a dynamic formalism for modelling interaction. A dynamic formalism models the behaviour potential at each point throughout an interaction, rather than trying to present the possible types of completed interaction structures, as in a synoptic approach. It is thus more concerned with interaction as process, rather than interaction as product. We model an interaction ...

This paper tests the usefulness of the category ‘intonation phrase’ for the analysis of natural conversation. It asks whether the intonation phrase is a relevant unit for participants, and if so, whether it is a prosodic, or indeed an interactional category. The data show that while participants do divide their speech into intonation phrase-like chunks, these chunks are not defined by intonatio...

Despite the rapid growth of text-based computer-mediated communication (CMC), its limitations have rendered the media highly incoherent. This poses problems for content analysis of online discourse archives. Interactional coherence analysis (ICA) attempts to accurately identify and construct CMC interaction networks. In this study, we propose the Hybrid Interactional Coherence (HIC) algorithm f...
