Analyzing Interaction Patterns on Dating Sites: A Generic Structure Potential Approach

Online dating has become a popular stage to find a romantic partner. In such context, interlocutors must employ language carefully to reveal their intentions, attract attention and as well sustain intimacy with their potential partners. While previous studies have explored aspects such as self-disclosure and linguistic strategies in impression formation, there remains a gap in understanding the structured interactions that occur between potential partners on dating sites. This study, therefore, investigated the linguistic elements and interactional structures characterizing online dating discourse, focusing on two popular platforms, Tinder and Tagged. Adopting Halliday and Hasan’s Generic Structure Potential framework, the study examined conversations of thirty participants (potential partners) whose relationship ranges between two weeks to three months. Findings revealed seven key stages: Discourse Initiation (DI), Introduction (INTR), Question and Response (QAR), Request (RQ), Admiration (AD), Declaration of Dating Intention (DDI), and Topic Formation for Conversation (TF). Each stage is marked by specific linguistic features and serves unique functions within the communication process. DI involves friendly greetings and endearments to initiate conversation and signal interest. INTR often includes declarative statements that provide personal information, establishing familiarity and a good first impression. QAR facilitates information exchange through questions and responses. RQ, predominantly by males, involves polite modal verb constructions to move the conversation to more personal platforms or obtain further information. AD includes compliments and positive affirmations to express appreciation and create a positive interaction tone. DDI features direct and indirect questions about relationship status to clarify the intent behind the interaction and define the nature of the potential relationship. Finally, TF sustains conversation with statements and questions about daily activities and interests. This study contributes to the broader understanding of professional discourse by analyzing the structured linguistic strategies and interactional patterns employed in online dating, demonstrating how individuals strategically use language to manage impressions, negotiate intentions, and build relationships – skills also crucial in professional communication.

An Analysis of College Students' Employment Prospects: A Comprehensive Survey

In recent years, with the continuous improvement of China's education system, China's higher education has entered the stage of popularization, and the employment of college students has become a key issue of social concern. Through a questionnaire survey, this article finally surveyed 426 college students and 57 people in society. The results show that the most important things for college students when choosing a career are salary, benefits, and work intensity. When choosing a career, they care more about personal feelings. They expect employment cities to be evenly distributed. There is no statistical difference in understanding the society's salary for fresh college students (P>0.05). In terms of abilities valued by employers, the differences between college students and people from society are statistically significant in terms of professional abilities, communication skills, and teamwork (P<0.05), while in terms of academic qualifications, school performance, and personal interests, the difference between the two is not statistically significant (P>0.05). This article believes that college students should increase social practice, grasp social needs, and form a correct view of employment. Society should provide more opportunities for college students to understand jobs and increase work experience. The country should establish relevant policies to encourage college students to form a correct view of employment.

Improvement Strategy of Higher Education Governance in China -- Based on the Perspective of Humanized Management of University Teachers

China s higher education has stepped from the popularization stage to the popularization stage. Therefore, the improvement of teaching quality in colleges and universities is crucial.At present, there are many problems in the quality of higher education in China, and the improvement of higher education quality is imminent. Teachers are the main body of teaching and scientifc research in colleges and universi-ties, and the main force of cultivating talents and knowledge accumulation and innovation in colleges and universities. The passive working state is not conducive to the full play of teachers creativity and the performance of the basic functions of colleges and universities. It is par-ticularly important to study how to promote the quality improvement of higher education from the perspective of humanized management of college teachers.

A study on the inner correspondence between Marx's theory of Human Essence and Confucian View of Community and its contemporary value

In the new era, the socialist culture with Chinese characteristics must open the interactive development of integrity and innovation. The problem of human nature is often new in the process of development. In the excellent traditional Chinese culture, the people-oriented thought is an important political philosophy thought. Standing at a new starting point, taking the spirit of the Party's 20th Congress as the ideological guidance, and strengthening cultural self-confidence and unremitting self-improvement as the starting point, the paper reviews the internal compatibility of Marx's theory of human essence and the Confucian community view, aiming to constantly sort out the integration of Marx's theory of human essence and the Confucian community view, fully grasp the new space of coupling, and make new answers in line with The Times. Thus deepening the conscious understanding of human nature, promoting the "combination" of the new era, and gradually advancing to a new stage of popularization, so that the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics has more rich philosophical connotation and profound philosophical heritage, and condenses the soul for social development.

Mourning and Melodrama: The Dorchester Labourers, Theatrical Fundraising, and Infrastructures of Mutual Support

As part of the effort to secure the release of the Dorchester Labourers, a group of agricultural workers sentenced in 1834 to penal transportation, London theaters hosted four fundraising evenings for the prisoners and their families. A turning point in the popular stage, these evenings marked a moment when commercial venues became willing to ally with working-class protest movements. At three of the four events, the theaters mounted nautical melodramas. Using Judith Butler's theories of the political possibilities of mourning, this article argues that melodrama effectively explored the twinned crises of social austerity and political repression while imagining radical transformation emerging from loss.

Based On The Value Chain Analysis Of China's Private Vocational Universities, Proposed For The Construction And Implementation Of The Business-Finance Integration Information Platform Framework

China's higher education has entered the stage of popularization, the competition tends to encourage, the use of information technology means to strengthen the integration of higher education business and finance, and play the role of finance to support business in a timely and effective way, is getting the attention of universities. In view of the situation of self-financing, lack of superior supervision in internal control, lack of information integration in various business systems and need to improve personnel digital literacy, private vocational colleges need to concentrate limited funds and resources on the key value drivers of the value chain, and build an information platform framework that integrates industry and finance. Suggestions on optimizing organizational structure, perfecting financial management system, strengthening communication between finance and business departments, and strengthening asset management and supervision are put forward to provide reference for the research on the path of Business-Finance Integration in China's private vocational universities.

Migrants’ Remittances, Agricultural Producer Service and Wage Inequality in the Dual Economy

Previous literature finds that migrants’ remittance narrows down wage inequality between skilled and unskilled labor, since the external funds flow into the rural area and raise wage rate of unskilled labor. However, it should be noted that the structure of agricultural production has also changed and small-scale agriculture utilizes remittance to purchase producer service that could substitute unskilled labor. The paper establishes three-sector general equilibrium models and theoretically analyzes the impact of an increase in remittance rate on wage inequality between skilled and unskilled labor. In the primary stage of service sector, an increase in remittance rate reduces both skilled and unskilled wage rate and has an ambiguous impact on wage inequality. The obtained result of wage inequality is robust even when we extend the basic theoretical model by considering the popularization stage of service sector.

Improving the System of Traditional Management Accounting as a Science of the Future

In today's business environment, we are increasingly faced with the fact that many enterprises that used to be leaders in the production and provision of services cannot cope with the growing fierce competition, instability of the external environment, rising inflation and many other factors. As a result, all this leads to the fact that within a few years, and sometimes even months, previously successful enterprises suspend their activities or completely close. After analyzing the activities of such enterprises from the moment they were created and started operating to the occurrence of financial and other problems, several common features can be identified, one of which is the absence or incorrectly built model of the management accounting system at the enterprise. Today, in our country, the stage of popularization and implementation of traditional management accounting is mainly underway. Traditional management accounting, based on cost accounting and costing of products or works, uses the method of management analysis and forms a system for preparing information for managing production and making management decisions (management) by the management of firms, companies. Accounting for variable and fixed costs has become widespread in Kazakhstani firms and companies; determination of marginal income, budgeting and obtaining information about the present and future.

Conceptualizing the Academic Management and Lecturer-Student Relationship for University Students’ Achievement Motivation in China

China has attached great importance to education. In 2019, since the higher education gross enrolment rate achieved 51.6%, Chinese higher education entered the stage of popularization, which makes China face new problems and challenges. In the stage of popularization, there are some adjustments in academic management and lecturer-student relationship, which have influences on the students’ achievement motivation. In order to further clarify the connotation and relationship of academic management, lecturer-student relationship and achievement motivation, and then take better measures to stimulate students' achievement motivation, this paper introduces the basic situation and systematically reviews the relevant literature, then designs the research methodology. The paper has a more profound and clean understanding of the three concepts (academic management, lecturer-student relationship, achievement motivation), and then puts forward the conceptual framework of the research, which can make some contributions to the improvement of the quality of university personnel training.

浅析高校精准育人理论与实践

After higher education enters the stage of popularization, how to improve the quality of talent cultivation has become a top priority. The proposal of the concept of precise education will inevitably become the theme and goal of the current development of higher education. Precision education refers to the use of scientific and effective procedures to accurately identify, educate, and evaluate students with different characteristics. It mainly includes four aspects: precise identification, precise demand, precise process, and precise performance. The research on precise education helps to truly achieve “individualized teaching” and is an important component of building a modern higher education system “teaching and educating people”, which is of great significance for improving the quality of education.

Christine Bold. “Vaudeville Indians” on Global Circuits, 1880s–1930s

“Vaudeville Indians” on Global Circuits, 1880s– 1930s recovers five decades of vaudeville performers portraying “Indian” characters on North American and international stages. Drawing from archival research, Christine Bold focuses on the lives of eight vaudevillians, including Indigenous actors as well as non-Indigenous performers committing ethnic fraud to perform as “Indian” on popular stages.

Sounding Slavery in the Victorian Drawing Room: The ‘Blackface’ Ballads of Philip Klitz

Abstract In 1847, Southampton’s Philip Klitz (1805–1854) added two ‘blackface’ ballads to a cultural craze reflecting that year’s British tour by the white American minstrel troupe, the ‘Ethiopian Serenaders’, and their imitators, the ‘Ethiopian Harmonists’. I show how Klitz and his fellow composers reflected and fed a potent stereotype, circulating songs in the bourgeois home that adversely affected the British perception of African Americans by sustaining racist themes and images in the popular-cultural imagination. Notwithstanding the negative impacts for black residents and visitors in Britain at the time, minstrelsy is also widely understood to have exerted considerable cultural influence throughout the nineteenth century. Among investigations of how the Victorian arts constructed race, few give music the significance it holds in this interpretation of how black caricature functioned in a post-abolition British context through the medium of music and musical orientalism in Victorian drawing-room ballads. This case study of previously neglected musical repertoire details an important episode in the history of ‘blackface’ minstrelsy, showing how racial attitudes formed within British domestic spaces during the late 1840s were affected by those of the popular stage in ante-bellum America.

Design and Application Research of Embedded Voice Teaching System Based on Cloud Computing

Deep changes are occurring in the components and forms of education as a result of the ongoing integration and development of emerging technologies like cloud computing, mobile computing, and artificial intelligence with teaching and learning, and the digital transformation of education is consistently being pushed to new heights. Simultaneously, China’s higher education has concurrently reached the stage of popularization. The digitalization of higher education is related to the development quality and value proposition of higher education and determines whether it can adapt to the needs of quality diversification, lifelong learning, training personalization, and governance modernization in the popularization stage. As a result, the current and future phases of China’s higher education reform call for accelerating the pace of higher education’s digital transformation and guiding the high-quality growth of higher education with digital innovation. The application potential of intelligent learning systems in higher education is becoming more and more clear in this context. In view of this, this work draws from previous research and experiences to build and implement an embedded voice teaching system based on cloud computing and a deep learning model to meet the development needs of the current digital transformation of higher education. On the one hand, the new system can well compensate for the flaws and shortcomings of the current teaching means in universities and realize the accompanying ubiquitous learning by relying on the powerful storage and computing capacity of the cloud computing platform. On the other hand, this study designs a set of voice recognition methods integrating HMM + LSTM to enhance the embedded voice system’s recognition performance, ultimately allowing for the voice recognition feature to be implemented in the pedagogical system. When it comes to processing audio signals, the hybrid model makes use of both the HMM’s robust time processing capability and the deep neural network’s robust characterization capability and generalization performance. As a result, the voice recognition rate, anti-interference performance, and noise robustness can all be significantly improved. Finally, the embedded voice system is put through its paces in an experimental setting to gauge its performance and functionality. The results of the tests demonstrate that the created hybrid model has high recognition accuracy and good noise immunity, which will be utilized as a foundation for the design and development of the final system. Meanwhile, the new system’s functional modules have achieved the expected results with good stability and reliability. Trial results gathered through interviews and questionnaires demonstrate that the new system significantly enhances the intelligence and adaptability of college teaching methods and is conducive to promoting the improvement of college students’ cultural literacy and innovation ability.

How to Improve Educational Leadership in Colleges and Universities under the Background of Educational Reform

With the social and economic development and technological progress, higher education has entered the stage of popularization. In the new period and situation, our higher education institutions are facing many challenges. How to improve teaching quality? How to cultivate innovative talents? How to adapt to the requirements of high-quality talents in the era of knowledge economy and other issues, all of which require colleges and universities to change their traditional concepts, establish modern university concepts and improve their core competitiveness. And to achieve this goal, we must strengthen the school management, especially the construction of college teachers. This paper puts forward specific measures to improve the professionalism of teachers in our colleges and universities from five aspects: Updating the concept of education and attaching importance to teachers' professional development. Create an atmosphere of respect for teachers and stimulate their creative energy. Improve institutional mechanisms to protect teachers' legitimate rights and interests. Broaden training channels to promote teachers' lifelong learning. Establish a scientific evaluation system to stimulate teachers' self-reflection.

“Human or machine?” performing androids, “Elektro‐Homos,” and the “Phroso” and “Moto Phoso” manias on the popular stage around 1900

Abstract“Human or Puppet?” A once popular, now forgotten performance routine explored this question on the popular stage. Concentrating on rare historical materials, this paper uncovers how “Human or Puppet?” performances looked like and how they built on and added to the early twentieth‐century cultural discourse, and trope, of the human machine. Extending the notion of “popular modernity” this paper provides a better sense of the stories, cultural work, and aesthetic achievements emerging from the interplay of popular arts and (imaginaries of) technology, and clarifies how the braiding of (an idea of) machinery and clowning contributed to creating new comic forms.

Constitutive and Material: An Empirical Analysis of the Two Dimensions of the Communication on Microplastics in Japanese Journals

Microplastics, an increasingly widespread environmental problem, have built a high profile on different communication platforms in Japan. Inspired by Davies and Horst’s understanding that science communication is constitutive and material, this article empirically analyzed the general situation of microplastics communication in the Japanese context. We examined the development in the meaning of microplastics as the exemplification of the constitutive dimension, as well as its communication stages, authorship, and readership with different interests as the representation of the material dimension. We chose the database National Diet Library Online as representative of Japanese literature. We extracted 190 microplastic-relevant journal articles published in different journal types from 2016 to 2020 and collected 162 online news articles as supplementary material. We found that even though the constitutive meaning of microplastics grew up fast, especially around 2018 and 2019, material factors varied that showed inclinations in practical communications. Despite the similar scale of communication in the specialist and the popular stages, the influences of scientists and interests from scientific fields on microplastics topics were overwhelmingly over the public fields, the divergences of which suggested several difficulties in solving such a complicated environmental problem.

Crime as Pop: Gangsta Rap as Popular Staging of Norm Violations

Crime is quantified extensively, mostly in order to prevent it, therefore assuming it as something purely negative. With the concept “Crime as Pop” we argue that such a view is one-sided, since crime is often staged as something that can be attractive and that can be used constructively for different purposes. We investigate this perspective by studying gangsta rap, which we consider a pop-cultural phenomenon that young people relate to in the context of interactive practices of identity construction. The stories told in gangsta rap are used by the youth recipients in a situation- and location-specific manner to present themselves in a certain way. Young people reproduce motifs of success that often characterize gangsta rap. They portray themselves as agentive and stage forms of resistance against people and institutions to which they might otherwise appear passive and powerless. Young people’s engagement with gangsta rap thus shows how the pop-cultural phenomena can be appropriated in many different ways. “Crime as Pop” illustrates the contingent connections of cultural phenomena and their appropriation that require detailed empirical reconstruction.

Serghei Cretu and neo-traditional music: the path of creation in the Soviet period

Th e study „Sergei Cretu and neo-traditional music: the creative path in the Soviet period” sketches a brief portrait of the artist, highlighting the important biographical data on specialized studies, the context of professional evolution in the Soviet period of the 1960s-1980s, marked by the so-called „new wave of folklore”. Special emphasis is placed on the reflection of his activity as a dulcimer player, arranger and composer in the Popular Stage Orchestra and in the „Folclor” Orchestra of the Moldovan Republican Television and Radio Broadcasting Company. The main compartments and aesthetic directions in the his interpretive and compositional creation, the structure of the genres and styles, including the place, the sources and the social motivations of the works of Soviet ideological inspiration and instrumentalization are also highlighted. The study capitalizes on documents, data and information from the Archive of the „Teleradio-Moldova” Company, materials from the press of the time, audio and video sources as well as a series of concepts from modern specialty literature, able to promote the interpretation and analysis of cultural facts.

고등교육 대중화와 학력 불평등 - 엘리트의식과 학력주의 문제를 중심으로

In the early stage of elite education in Korea’s higher education, college students had a strong elite consciousness. He was conscious of realizing justice through criticism and participation in society and was full of confidence. However, behind the scenes lies the desire to increase economic status. With rapid industrialization since the mid-to-late 1970s, the demand for high-quality manpower with college degrees has increased, and the wage gap between educational backgrounds has widened. As a result, the value of a college degree has risen. Higher education began to enter the stage of popularization amid the spread of credentialism. In that sense, the higher education popularization was the result of inequality according to educational background. Since the 1980s when higher education was fully converted to the stage of popularization, the elite consciousness of college students has virtually disappeared and the wage gap has also narrowed. However, the value of educational background, that is, credentialism, remained strong and supported inequality.

Of farms, legends, and fools: Re-engaging Ghana’s development narrative through social media

As social media democratize participation in the public sphere, new voices are emerging that challenge the status quo of public political discussion in important ways. In particular, social media are allowing ordinary citizens to offer their appraisals of government policy and their diagnoses of the problems besetting development. Through a rhetorical analysis of online videos by selected social commentators, we show how development is framed by today’s Ghanaian youth as an engagement with local and global vistas. Although lacking in nuanced historical and theoretical framing, and espousing an idealized-Western vision of development, our interlocutors play an important role in spurring active youth engagement in democratic discourse and in bringing to the popular stage contemporary national and global discourses surrounding development, identity, and the role of digital media in shaping modern public debate in democratic societies.
