Meanwhile, outside family communities, such as schools or society, is greatly needed to create positive interactions between users and certain communities. This research discussed in two languages (Indonesian Japanes...

We propose a computational framework for identifying linguistic aspects of politeness. Our starting point is a new corpus of requests annotated for politeness, which we use to evaluate aspects of politeness theory and to uncover new interactions between politeness markers and context. These findings guide our construction of a classifier with domain-independent lexical and syntactic features op...

In this paper we show that a many-sorted shiny theory with respect to a set of sorts is strongly polite with respect to that set, and vice-versa, assuming that the theory has a decidable quantifier-free satisfiability problem. Moreover, we provide sufficient conditions for a many-sorted polite theory with respect to the set of all sorts to be shiny/strongly polite with respect to that set. Rely...

It has been found that Korean speakers lower their average voice pitch when speaking politely [16, 17], contradicting the idea that high pitch is polite across all cultures, as proposed by Ohala’s Frequency Code hypothesis [e.g., 12]. This study looks at pitch as a perceptual cue to politeness in Korean. Ten Korean listeners heard short utterances from eight different speakers and judged whethe...

This paper describes adaptive e-learning systems with learning portfolio for IT education. Our project is one of Modern Good Practice (MGP) which is supported by Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in Japan. We have developed the framework of adaptive e-learning systems which is called POLITE. POLITE has a curriculum-based learning environment based on SCORM2004 and e...

In recent years, politeness theory has increasingly focused on speakers’ own conceptualizations of polite behavior, viewing politeness concepts as a type of language ideology. This article examines the construction of Japanese politeness concepts in the business etiquette training provided for new employees in Japanese companies. Drawing on participant-observation of business etiquette seminars...

Children represent a potentially crucial user segment for conversational interfaces. Computer systems interacting with children need to be tailored for these users so that they will understand child intent and so that the child will have a positive and successful experience with the system. This study focuses on discourse analysis of spoken-language childmachine interactions. In particular, pol...
