  2. Text linguistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_linguistics

    Text linguistics is a branch of linguistics that deals with texts as communication systems.Its original aims lay in uncovering and describing text grammars.The application of text linguistics has, however, evolved from this approach to a point in which text is viewed in much broader terms that go beyond a mere extension of traditional grammar towards an entire text.

  3. Thematic coherence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thematic_coherence

    In developmental psychology, thematic coherence is an organization of a set of meanings in and through an event. [1] In education , for example, the thematic coherence happens when a child during a classroom session understands what all the talking is about.

  4. Coherence (linguistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherence_(linguistics)

    Coherence in linguistics is what makes a text semantically meaningful. It is especially dealt with in text linguistics.Coherence is achieved through syntactic features such as the use of deictic, anaphoric and cataphoric elements or a logical tense structure, and semantic features such as presuppositions and implications connected to general world knowledge.

  5. Coherence (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherence_(physics)

    In some systems, such as water waves or optics, wave-like states can extend over one or two dimensions. Spatial coherence describes the ability for two spatial points x 1 and x 2 in the extent of a wave to interfere when averaged over time. More precisely, the spatial coherence is the cross-correlation between two points in a wave for all times.

  6. Context (linguistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Context_(linguistics)

    Since much contemporary linguistics takes texts, discourses, or conversations as the object of analysis, the modern study of verbal context takes place in terms of the analysis of discourse structures and their mutual relationships, for instance the coherence relation between sentences.

  7. Coherence time (communications systems) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherence_time...

    Coherence time is actually a statistical measure of the time duration over which the channel impulse response is essentially invariant, and quantifies the similarity of the channel response at different times. In other words, coherence time is the time duration over which two received signals have a strong potential for amplitude correlation.

  8. Neural synchrony - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_Synchrony

    Using the speaker's spatial and temporal neural responses to model the listener's responses during natural verbal communication, they found that brain activity synchronized in dyads in both a delayed and anticipatory manner, but this synchrony failed to occur when subjects did not communicate (e.g., speaking in a language the listener does not ...

  9. Language and spatial cognition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_and_Spatial_Cognition

    The question whether the use of language influences spatial cognition is closely related to theories of linguistic relativity—also known as the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis—which states that the structure of a language affects cognitive processes of the speaker. Debates about this topic are mainly focused on the extent to which language ...
