Recent research has shown that academic writing is not ‘author-evacuated’ but, rather, carries a representation of the writers’ identity. One way through which writers project their identity in academic writing is stance-taking toward propositions advanced in the text. Appropriate stance-taking has proved to be challenging for novice writers of Research Articles (RAs), especially those writing ...

Starting from the orality and experience of Hirak actors, we conducted a series semi-structured interviews field observation, as well analysis web content to express relationship protest memory Rif. This does not present logical sequence events, but rather operates rhetorical approach past where real imaginary move elements that constantly shapes "market memory". As such, this paper seeks captu...

This article describes an implementation of a basic multiprocessor system that exhibits replication and differentiation abilities on the POEtic tissue, a programmable hardware designed for bio-inspired applications [1, 2] . As for a living organism, whose existence starts with only one cell that first divides, our system begins with only one totipotent processor, able to implement any of the ce...

communicative moves and lexical cohesion patterns (lcps), as mounting evidence shows, are two important indicators in writing and publishing the ras. however, the interaction between these two crucial elements and the contribution of this interaction to the failure or success of the ras have not been given due attention to date. having this in mind and based on a sound theoretical framework, at...

We prove that the classic 1994 Taito video game, known as Puzzle Bobble or Bust-a-Move, is NP-complete. Our proof applies to the perfect-information version where the bubble sequence is known in advance, and it uses just three bubble colors. “A girl runs up with somethin’ to prove. So don’t just stand there. Bust a move!” — Young MC [YDD89]

The generalised, automated reconstruction of the reasoning structures underlying persuasive communication is an enormously challenging task. While this work in argument mining is increasingly informed by the rich tradition of argumentation studies outside the computational field, the rhetorical perspective on argumentation is thus far largely ignored. To explore the application of rhetorical in...

This article aims to analyze how agreement regarding the central unit (macrostructure) influences agreement when establishing rhetorical relations (microstructure). To do so, the authors conducted an empirical study of abstracts from research articles in three domains (medicine, terminology, and science) in the framework of Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST). The results help to establish a new ...

Most text displays an internal coherence structure, which can be analyzed as a tree structure of relations that hold between short segments of text. We present a machine-learning governed approach to such an analysis in the framework of Rhetorical Structure Theory. Our rhetorical analyzer observes a variety of textual properties, such as cue phrases, part-of-speech information, rhetorical conte...
