Generation of multi-modal dialogue for a net environment
In this paper an architecture and special purpose markup language for simulated affective face-to-face communication is presented. In systems based on this architecture, users will be able to watch embodied conversational agents interact with each other in virtual locations on the internet. The markup language, or Rich Representation Language (RRL), has been designed to provide an integrated representation of speech, gesture, posture and facial animation
RRL: A Rich Representation Language for the Description of Agent Behaviour in NECA
In this paper, we describe the Rich Representation Language (RRL) which is used in the NECA system. The NECA system generates interactions between two or more animated characters. The RRL is a formal framework for representing the information that is exchanged at the interfaces between the various NECA system modules
UNIVERSAL NASAL ASSIMILATIONS IN MONOMORPHEMIC AND POLYMORPHEMIC WORDS ACROSS LANGUAGES
There are universal aspects in language. Phonology, as the most universal languagecomponent, has many universal aspects including nasal assimilation. Nasal assimilation isthe systematic appearance of certain nasals instead of other nasals based on the context in
monomorphemic or polymorphemic words. The nasal /n/ occurs successively with alveolarconsonants, the nasal /m/ with labials, the nasal /ɳ/ with velars, and the nasal /ɲ/ withpalatals. Nasal assimilation mostly occurs regressively. Regressively, nasal assimilationtends to occur in monomorphemic and polymorphemic words. In progressive assimilation, ittends to occur in a specific phrase structure. This phenomenon can happen acrosslanguages
PHONOLOGICAL PROCESS IN INDONESIAN SPEECH (CASE OF ASSIMILATION AND ELISION IN INDONESIAN)
This paper discusses the phonological process in the Indonesian speech, particularly on
assimilation and elision. Assimilation is the influence exercised by one sound segment upon
the articulation of another, so that the sounds become alike or more identical. Elision or
deletion is loss or omission of segments or syllables. This phenomenon might be rooted from
the fact that the speakers seem to have trouble pronouncing the words that have more than
4 (four) more syllables. Therefore, this paper discusses; (1) the types of phonological
processes frequently employed, (2) the typical vocabulary undergoing phonological
processes, and (3) the causes of phonological process in the speech. The data are the
Indonesian words which are obtained from the record of such speech as in seminar, lecture,
sermon, and conversation among people
KARONESSE INTERFERENCE IN INDONESIAN AS THE REFLECTION OF KARONESSE MAINTENANCE
People in Indonesia mostly master either Indonesian as their national language or their indigenous
language as their mother tongue. Both language contacts give an impact of language phenomena,
for instance bilingualism, diglossia, code switching and mixing, interference, divergence,
convergence, language maintenance and shift. Those who live in diglossia situation are called
bilingualism because of their ability to master at least two languages. The ability to use two
languages raises interference of local language in Indonesian when the people make a speech. This
research tries to observe the interference of Karonesse in Indonesian by Batak Karo students from
Brastagi, North Sumatera. The methods of data collection are both observing and in-depth
interview to the Batak Karo native people. This study tries to reveal language aspects that
“interfere” the Indonesian by Batak Karo students during their speech. The result shows that
Batak Karo students keep maintaining their Karonesse in Indonesian. These language
maintenances are reflected in all language aspects, such as lexicon, phonology, morphology, and
syntax
