In conversation, speakers and addressees work together in the making of a definite reference. In the model we propose, the speaker initiates the process by presenting or inviting a noun phrase. Before going on to the next contribution, the participants, if necessary, repair, expand on, or replace the noun phrase in an iterative process until they reach a version they mutually accept. In doing s...

In this article, we examine gaze direction in responses to polar questions using both quantitative and conversation analytic (CA) methods. The data come from a novel corpus of conversations in which participants wore eyetracking glasses to obtain direct measures of their eye movements. The results show that while most preferred responses are produced with gaze toward the questioner, most dispre...

1767 NOVEMBER 2007 AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY | R ecent literature has been refocusing on the association between tropical North Atlantic Ocean sea surface temperature (SST) and Atlantic hurricane activity. Emanuel (2005) demonstrated this relationship using a power dissipation index (PDI), which depends on storm intensity and the lifetime of each storm over each hurricane season. Emanuel’...

RESUMO A ação de corrigir alguém, já analisada em diversos cenários, principalmente sala aula (Garcez, 2006; McHoul, 1990), recebeu atenção analistas da conversa particularmente como desdobramento do estudo sistemática reparo (Schegloff et al., 1977), sendo por muitos tratada subtipo reparo. Questionamentos sobre a pertinência manter no domínio (Cheng, 2014; Hall, 2007; Macbeth, 2004) motivaram...

[1] Surface wind and temperature records from the European Centre for MediumRange Weather Forecasts 40 Year Reanalysis (ERA-40) Project are used to estimate low-frequency variations in globally integrated tropical cyclone (TC) intensity from 1958 to 2001. For the first time, the annually integrated power dissipation (PD) is explicitly calculated on a global scale, and results show an upward tre...

Previously we identified two intronless serine-threonine kinase genes (Tsk1 and Tsk2) located 3 kb apart on mouse chromosome 16 (Galili, N., Baldwin, H.S., Lund, J., Reeves, R., Gong, W., Wang, Z., Roe, B.A., Emanuel, B.S., Nayak, S., Mickanin, C., Budraf, M.L., Buck, C.A., 1997. A region of mouse chromosome 16 is syntenic to the DiGeorge, velocardiofacial syndrome minimal critical region. Gen....
