Spatial language and cognition in Isthmus Zapotec
… and structure with local landscape. In contrast, Levinson and colleagues (Pederson et al. 1998; Levinson 2003; inter alia) argue that language and culture are the primary conduits for the sharing of linguistic and cognitive practices. This debate stems from renewed interest in Whorf’s (1956) …

Identity and Alignment in Collaborative Student Engineering Design Reviews
… politeness strategies identified by Brown and Levinson (1987). Forty-two feedback sessions between student engineering design teams and their faculty supervisors were videotaped and transcribed. The transcripts were unitized, and then coded for alignments, politeness strategies, and face threat …

Tensor formulations for the modelling of discrete-time nonlinear and multidimensional systems.
… Theory is obtained. Tensor extensions of the Levinson and Schur algorithms are presented. New two-dimensional (2-D) lattice parameter models are derived. Using the tensor form of the Generalized Lattice Theory the 2-D multi-point error order-updates are decomposed into 0(N ) single point …

Difference-operator-based models in statistical signal processing
… estimating these parameters, analogous to the Levinson algorithm for conventional models. Numerical results have been obtained that indicate that, in the presence of roundoff errors, the new algorithm gives better results than the Levinson algorithm. We also present a class of algorithms that …

They become badasses: Qualitative inquiry into academic identity and face negotiation in mentoring relationships
… engage in face threatening speech acts (Brown & Levinson, 1987) as they work with their protégés. Face-threatening acts (FTAs) “run contrary to the face wants of the addressee and/or of the speaker” (Brown & Levinson, 1987, p. 301). It is not always possible to communicate in ways that do not …

Half-bound states of a one-dimensional Dirac system: their effect on the Titchmarsh-Weyl M([lambda])-function and the scattering matrix
… of the S-matrix in momentum space and prove the Levinson theorem as a corollary to this analysis. We also obtain explicit asymptotics of the S-matrix for power-law potentials

Cross-cultural linguistic politeness: Misunderstanding between Arabs and British speakers of English.
… Lakoff (1973), Leech (1983) and Brown and Levinson (1987), this research establishes that they do not adopt a sufficiently pragmatic approach to analyse politeness in cross-cultural interaction, and that they cannot explain how misunderstandings between interlocutors from different cultures …

Identity, intimacy, and marital satisfaction in midlife marriages

Compliments and politeness among Mexican and Puerto Rican couples.

Dynamic analysis of composite beams using shear-deformable finite elements
