Here / There ト Are / Go ガ オリナス セカイ Here you are / Here you go / There you are / There you go ノ キノウ

本稿の目的は、「人に物を渡すとき」に使用できる4表現(Here you are / Here you go / There you are / There you go)の機能を明らかにすることである。 4表現の機能は、here / there で表される「促し(start)/ 達成(goal)」対立と、are / go で表される「状態(state)/ 行為(action)」対立の組み合わせによって、規則的に生み出される。 その結果、4表現はそれぞれ以下のような機能を持つ。Here you are 「you が"ready"な状態になるように、話者が you を促す」Here you go 「you が次の行為をするように、話者が you を促す」There you are 「you が話者の期待する状態に達したことを、話者が表明する」There you go 「you が話者の期待する行為を遂げたことを、話者が表明する」 この考え方に基づけば、映画から集めた実例を説明できるだけでなく、なぜ4表現がいずれも「人に物を渡すとき」に使用できるのか、などの疑問に対しても説明を与えることができる。 本稿では、4表現の機能に関する考察を通じて、イディオムと呼ばれるものの中にも、個々の語彙の意味を組み合わせて説明できる表現があり得ることを示唆した

Are you there? : Presence in collaborative distance work

doi linkki ei toimi 31.1.2022, ilmoitettu lehteen/USAlready before the pandemic, digitally mediated collaborative work and communication were perceived as challenging. We investigate the attitudes towards emerging technologies and for transforming practises in workplaces. The focus lies on understanding the readiness for appropriating emotional tracking on presence and support for collaboration. The research-based design framework allowed to combine the various perspectives of the transdisciplinary team. Methods included participatory design, design thinking, contextual inquiry and prototype testing for enhancing presence while working with shared objects in video conferencing to explore the appropriation of tools. The findings revealed four indications: 1) awareness of interlocutors’ presence during synchronous communication is crucial. 2) Emotion and behaviour tracking raises concerns about privacy and personal control over what is displayed to others, and technology could be simpler non-distracting the work at hand. 3) The prototype was found to enhance the feeling of presence without disturbing work at hand, and 4) appropriation requires a step-by-step approach.Peer reviewe

Are You Still There? - A Lightweight Algorithm to Monitor Node Presence in Self-Configuring Networks

This paper is concerned with the analysis and redesign of a distributed algorithm to monitor the availability of nodes in self-configuring networks. The simple scheme to regularly probe a node ¿ "are you still there?" ¿ may easily lead to over- or underloading. The essence of the algorithm is therefore to automatically adapt the probing frequency. We show that a self-adaptive scheme to control the probe load, originally proposed as an extension to the UPnPTM (Universal Plug and Play) standard, leads to an unfair treatment of nodes: some nodes probe fast while others almost starve. An alternative distributed algorithm is proposed that overcomes this problem and that tolerates highly dynamic network topology changes. The algorithm is very simple and can be implemented on large networks of small computing devices such as mobile phones, PDAs, and so on
