Bricks, knots, and bodies: Material encounters and the affective making of masculinity

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper examines how creative research methods do not just capture boys' experiences of masculinity, but actively materialise them.

A Survey of Discourse Representations for Chinese Discourse Annotation

ACM Transactions on Asian and Low-Resource Language Information Processing, 2019
A key element in computational discourse analysis is the design of a formal representation for the discourse structure of a text. With machine learning being the dominant method, it is important to identify a discourse representation that can be used to perform large-scale annotation.

Belief in discourse representation theory

Journal of Philosophical Logic, 1986

Discourse-Aware Language Representation

IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence
Recent Transformer-based language representation techniques have commonly adopted a straightforward approach to modeling textual context as a linear sequence of successive tokens. However, this sequential modeling strategy falls short in actively exploring intermediate structures present in natural languages and does not account for the rich ...

Graph representations of discourse structure

International Journal of Advanced Intelligence Paradigms, 2016
The aim of this paper is to introduce a new method to represent discourse structures. This approach is based on three discourse theories in order to highlight three discourse features: cohesion, coherence and intentionality. The graph representations of discourse structure proposed in this paper address linguistic discourse and chat conversation at the
