An AOPLID program is represented in set manner. In this paper, an off line AOPLID interpreter in Prolog is implemented, based on the off line AOPLID program semantics. At the same time, the set of rules is given which transforms an AOPLID program represented by sets into Prolog clauses so that it can be interpreted by the off line interpreter. Finally, the sound codes of the off line interpreter are listed.展开更多

This belief was confounded in a laboratory conducted with Romanian actors, March 2013. The work was performed in both English and Romanian and it was with a sense of shock that I observed that the work was more vital, compelling, and physically and vocally engaged when they spoke in English. What were the factors at play here and what are the implications for future work？ Patsy Rodenburghas written of the giddy delight children find in language. Under what conditions does the native tongue evoke that ＂giddy delight＂ and where and when does it become an obstacle to such pleasure？展开更多

It is the unity of what is said and what is implicated. Grice＇s theory of conversational implicature provides some explicit account of how it is possible to mean more than what is literally expressed by the conventional sense of the linguistic expressions uttered. Using this theory, we can infer the speaker＇s real attention, appreciate figure of speech in literary work, and improve our communicative competence.展开更多

At present, it is of prevalence to study education from the linguistic perspective. This paper tends to center on education discourses, both written texts and educational practices, and understand their underlying cognitive or cultural models by resorting to the metaphorical theory in cognitive linguistics.展开更多

The current emphasis in computer game AI is improving the quality of opponent AI. Our research question reads: How can unsupervised online learning be incorporated in Computer Role Playing Game(CRPG) to improve the strategy of the opponent AI? Our goal is to use online evolutionary learning to design strategies that can defeat the opponent. So we apply a novel technique called dynamic scripting that realizes online adaptation of scripted opponent AI and report on experiments performed in a simulated CRPG to assess the adaptive performance obtained with the technique.展开更多
