This research extends our understanding of gender bias in leader evaluations by merging role congruity and implicit theory perspectives. We tested and found support for the prediction that the link between people's attitudes regarding women in authority and their subsequent gender-biased leader evaluations is significantly stronger for entity theorists (those who believe attributes are fixed) r...

Relation between gender and language has been studied by many authors, however, there is still some uncertainty left regarding gender influence on language usage in the professional environment. Often, the studied data sets are too small or texts of individual authors are too short in order to capture differences of language usage wrt gender successfully. This study draws from a larger corpus o...

Erich Fromm is one of the few members of the Frankfurt School who seriously engaged himself with theorizing the problems of gender and the differences between men and women. In certain ways, Fromm anticipated later attempts to produce a feminist Marxism and poststructuralist analyses of the socially constructed nature of gender. Yet Fromm's gender analysis was highly uneven and even contradicto...

tourism has always been the main concern of the organizations which are responsible for attracting tourists to visit iran. so preparing and, especially, translating tourist texts are vital for improving tourism in our country. in this paper, we deal with the form of language used in tourist texts and the strategies of translating them by giving some examples. domesticating and foreignising stra...

The exploration of the context should provide clues that eliminate the non-relevant solutions. For this purpose we use local grammar constraints represented by finite automata. We have designed and implemented an algorithm which performs this task by using a large variety of linguistic constraints. Both the texts and the rules (or constraints) are represented in the same formalism, that is fini...

this paper, largely motivated by hoey (2001), revisits the issue of written discourse analysis and, in particular, the problem-solution pattern. much discussion embarrasses the way in which texts are pro-duced and understood. the different functional approaches include halliday and hasan’s approach, van dijk’s process-oriented approach, the procedural approach of de beaugrande and dressler, and...

The POSBIOTM/W1 is a workbench for machine-learning oriented biomedical text mining system. The POSTBIOTM/W is intended to assist biologist in mining useful information efficiently from biomedical text resources. To do so, it provides a suit of tools for gathering, managing, analyzing and annotating texts. The workbench is implemented in Java, which means that it is platform-independent.
