Reducing conflicts in groupware: Metafunctions and their empirical evaluation

Behaviour & Information Technology, 1996
Certain functions in groupware affect more than one user who might have conflicting interests. To describe conflicts arising from the use of groupware functions, we distinguish the roles of the activator and the user affected. As technical means to lessen these conflicts, we develop two metafunctions: visibility of use and negotiability. We expect that

Synthesis of arithmetic hardware using hardware metafunctions

IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems, 1990
The development of theorem-based design methods is considered. Theorem-based design uses formal logic to create provably correct implementations. Past work has focused on using formal logic and post-hoc proof for design verification. Here, the focus is on hardware synthesis functions, called hardware metafunctions, which synthesize hardware in a ...

Social Semiotics, 1992
Abstract According to the metafunctional hypothesis, there is a non arbitrary relationship between three major kinds of linguistic structure—'wave’ (sequence and periodicity), ‘field’ (intonation) and ‘particle’ (constituents)— and the core meanings they typically express (textual, interpersonal and ideational, respectively).

Issues in modelling the textual metafunction

2001
Editors’ introduction One important aspect of the nature of texts is the way in which the flow of information through the text is managed. The writer or speaker typically aims to signal to the addressee the status of each ‘chunk’ of information that is given — how it fits in with the rest of the information around it in terms of its degree of newness ...

Language metafunctions in planting the seeds of metacognition

South Asian Journal of Marketing & Management Research, 2019
This study is about the relationship between the students’ metafunctions (with three broad components): ideational, interpersonal and textual and their metacognitive strategies (planning, monitoring and evaluating). The researcher used 71 4th year students from BEED 4-A and 4B who were enrolled during the second semester of SY 2018–2019, Bulacan State ...
