Enhanced Story Comprehension for Large Language Models through Dynamic Document-Based Knowledge Graphs

Large transformer-based language models have achieved incredible success at various tasks which require narrative comprehension, including story completion, answering questions about stories, and generating stories ex nihilo. However, due to the limitations of finite context windows, these language models struggle to produce or understand stories longer than several thousand tokens. In order to mitigate the document length limitations that come with finite context windows, we introduce a novel architecture that augments story processing with an external dynamic knowledge graph. In contrast to static commonsense knowledge graphs which hold information about the real world, these dynamic knowledge graphs reflect facts extracted from the story being processed. Our architecture uses these knowledge graphs to create information-rich prompts which better facilitate story comprehension than prompts composed only of story text. We apply our architecture to the tasks of question answering and story completion. To complement this line of research, we introduce two long-form question answering tasks, LF-SQuAD and LF-QUOREF, in which the document length exceeds the size of the language model's context window, and introduce a story completion evaluation method that bypasses the stochastic nature of language model generation. We demonstrate broad improvement over typical prompt formulation methods for both question answering and story completion using GPT-2, GPT-3 and XLNet.

Investigating the determinants of medical crowdfunding performance: a signaling theory perspective

PurposeThis study examines the determinants of medical crowdfunding performance. Drawing on signaling theory, the authors investigate how funding-related signals (funding goal and duration), story-related signals (text length, text sentiment, and use of first-person pronouns), and donor-related signals (donor identity disclosure) affect medical crowdfunding performance.Design/methodology/approachThis study analyzed the data of 754 medical crowdfunding projects collected from the Qingsongchou platform in China to test the proposed model.FindingsThe empirical findings reveal that both funding goal and funding duration exhibit a U-shaped relationship with crowdfunding performance. Additionally, the authors find evidence that story text length and donor identity disclosure are positively related to crowdfunding performance, whereas the use of first-person pronouns is negatively related to crowdfunding performance.Originality/valueThis study extends the understanding of the determinants of medical crowdfunding performance through the signaling theory. Specifically, this study provides new insights into the roles of funding goal and funding duration in predicting medical crowdfunding performance and identifies several new predictors of crowdfunding performance, including the use of first-person pronouns in project story text and donor identity disclosure.

The means of conveying ironic expressivity in N. A. Teffi’s short stories (to the 150th anniversary of the birth)

The article aims to identify the linguistic means (first of all those which can be considered as marking the writer’s individual style) employed in N. A. Teffi’s short stories to convey ironic comicality. The research was performed with the use of the descriptive, linguostylistic, semantic methods, componential analysis, and elements of statistical analysis. As a result, the undertaken study made it possible to identify a wide range of linguistic units belonging to different linguistic levels. The combination of these units and various stylistic devices which were revealed while analysing the expressive speech structure of humorous texts results in the maximal humorous effect. The paper concludes that subtle irony viewed as the dominant expressive colouring of the text in humorous stories by N. Teffi and the device that marks her individual style is created with the help of various linguistic means. These means can be roughly divided into two groups: the basic humour-building and background ones. The latter group facilitates a more obvious manifestation of ironic comicality. The first group includes pun and non-pun means of conveying ironic expressivity. As for non-pun linguistic means, elements of the stylistics of the absurd, paradox, oxymoron, metaphor, metonymy and synecdoche, chiasmus, periphrasis, allusion, ellipsis, parallelism, simile, refrain, radical transformation of phraseological units are characteristic of Teffi’s individual style. With regard to the means of expressing irony build on pun, Teffi employs units of language and speech with identical and similar expression planes. Polysemy, usual and occasional homonymy in combination with such lexical and lexical-phonetic means of explication of phonetized puns as usual and occasional paronomasia and – more rarely – homophony form the lexical basis of semanticised puns. The author often uses amphibology and the literalization of phraseological units to produce ironic punning effect. The second group includes auxiliary means of creating ironic effect: imitation of children’s speech, the technique of speech self-disclosure, citation, macaronic language, spoken colloquial phraseology, colloquialisms and obsolescent grammatical orthoepic variants, charactonyms and parodic surnames.

Channelling Artscience Through Fan-Fiction for Diversifying STEM Approaches in Participatory Learning in Malaysia

Fan-fiction is proposed as a participatory and discovery-learning approach to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education; communication; and collaboration through the epistemic third space afforded by artscience. The objective is to increase the affective dimension in STEM instruction by allowing STEM to enter intimately into social spaces, all the while drawing interests from girls and women. There is strong female participation in fan-fiction creation, whether in the form of textual stories or other transmedia objects, that could be used to develop more multi-dimensional STEM-based experiential and imagination-centric learning without excluding the more technical aspects of the science – in fact, the technical aspects could be weaved in as a STEM problem or project to be collectively tackled through the communal experience of creating and responding to fan-fiction. Moreover, the world-building capability of fan-fiction, with its ability to bring together multiple fandoms such as multiple works from the same creator or different creators within similar genres, means that there is ample room for using fan-fiction during interdisciplinary engagement for STEM problem-solving or research creation approaches to learning and doing. In this article, some examples of activities are taken from workshops targeted at Malaysian audiences to explore the possibility of deploying fan-fiction approaches to STEM, or STEM through the lenses of artscience, within the culture of learning and doing in Malaysia. These workshops were not originally conceived with fan-fiction as method and medium in mind and yet, were found to share certain similar traits with fan-fiction. The world-building capacity of fan-fiction could be deployed to mainstream the incorporation of indigenous and cultural ways of knowing within Malaysia into the rubrics of institutionalized STEM education. However, the convergence and compatibility between fan-fiction and participatory design, which were featured in at least three of the four workshops depicted here, are the reasons for the choice, while the fourth workshop considers the practice of fan-fiction and its relevance to more informal practices in STEM publishing and communication at a meta level.

LEARNERS' SPEAKING SKILLS WITH SPEECH DELAY BARRIERS IN PRIMARY SCHOOL

This study aims to describe the speaking skills of learners who have speech delay barriers in elementary school. Qualitative research methods of case studies. Child research subjects who had speech delaybarriers. Data collection techniques in the form of oral tests, observations, interviews, and documentation. Instruments in the form of oral tests with the form of story texts and instruments in the form of interview question guides and observation guides. Data analysis includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions. The results showed that learners with speech delay barriers had speech skills that were still less seen from the language and non-language aspects. This is due to individual factors of quiet speech delay learners and lack of confidence, family genetic factors that make learners experience speech delay,and environmental factors that makestudents' social interactions limited. Efforts applied in improving speech delay learners' speaking skills are using concrete learning media in the form of images, applying drill methods and question and answer methods, and providing motivation.

Жанр сверхкороткого рассказа-притчи в японской литературе (на примере произведений Синъити Хоси)

The aim of the research is to determine the most significant features of such a genre variety of the Japanese short-short story as a parable story (using the material of Shinichi Hoshi’s prose). Scientific novelty of the paper lies in the fact that it is the first time that a genre model of parable narration has been identified and described in the corpus of short-short story texts. The research findings indicate that the Japanese parable short-short story has common features that are typologically peculiar to the narrative prose of a low word count as a whole, but it also displays properties that do not correspond to the concept of fantasy literature, to which it is often attributed, and, naturally, it is not related to the novella, with which it is mistakenly associated due to its insignificant word count.

ANALYSIS OF VERBS EQUIVALENCE IN ENGLISH-INDONESIAN TRANSLATION OF THE SHORT STORY THE BOGEY-BEAST

This research is about the analysis of verbs equivalence in translating the short story The Bogey-Beast. The research was conducted by using qualitative method. The source of the data was collected from the short story the Bogey-Beast and its translation in Indonesian and the data was restricted on the verbs. The objective of the research is to find out the type of verbs equivalence in the short story the Bogey-Beast and its translation, the most dominan type of equivalence found in the short story text, and the naturalness of expression in the translation of short story the Bogey-Beast. The data was analyzed based on Nida (McGuire, 1991) theory about translation equivalence. There are two types of equivalences, they are: (1) Formal Equivalence, which focus attention on the message itself, in both form and content, and (2) Dinamic Equivalence translation, which is based upon the principle of equivalence effect.

Struktur, Unsur, dan Tipe Teks dalam Teks Cerita Fantasi Karya Peserta Didik

Fantasy story text is one of the narrative texts that contains events or events that happened to a character being told. The series of events has a plot that starts from orientation, complications, to resolution. Fantasy stories actually also feature realistic events and actions, but there are also things that are hard to accept. Even so, the overall development of the storyline is still subject to the law of cause and effect or the law of the plot that applies in writing that is generally agreed upon. This study aims to determine the tendency of students in making fantasy story texts and this research focuses on elements, structures, and types in fantasy story texts. This research uses qualitative research with descriptive method. The results obtained are that students tend to make fantasy story texts based on examples that have been given. In addition, the structure used tends to be incomplete. In the orientation section is often not used. The type of fantasy story text used tends to cross time. The written message tends to be implicit

A pilot study of AID-COMp: An innovative speech-language intervention for patients with early-stage major neurocognitive disorder.

Major neurocognitive disorder (MND) alters cognition, memory and language, and consequently affects communication. Speech-language therapy (SLT) may alleviate communication difficulties. This pilot study explored the effects of intensive SLT emphasizing memory, language, and discourse impairment and complementary communication strategies, called Aid for Communication-For Persons Who Live with MND (AID-COMp). We employed a mixed design using quantitative and qualitative methods with four dyads, including a person living with MND (PwMND) and a family carer. The design included a control period, and we tested participants before (T1) and after 2 months without therapy (T2). AID-COMp was then provided intensively three times per week for 10 sessions and participants were tested again (T3). Participants were also involved in an individual qualitative interview after therapy ended, probing their experience and possible effects on their lives. AID-COMp included: (1) spaced retrieval to teach the use of a memory book; (2) semantic and phonological therapy for lexical access; (3) discourse treatment based on the analysis of the macrostructure and microstructure of stories in pictures and texts; and (4) PACE therapy for generalization. Carers were not included in treatment, did not attend sessions and were only involved in the evaluations. Measures included language, communication, cognitive and well-being tests. Paired t-tests (one-tailed) compared scores for the control period, that is, T1 versus T2. We compared scores after therapy (T3) with those at T2. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed qualitatively. For the control period, only text comprehension scores significantly decreased in PwMND. After therapy, improvements occurred on the Boston Naming Test (BNT), the Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE) and the well-being measure for the PwMND. Carer scores were unchanged after therapy except for their perception of the PwMND's communication which improved. Qualitative findings comprised three themes: (1) understanding therapy; (2) recovering abilities and relationships; and (3) naming further needs. We hypothesize that AID-COMp addressed the underlying impairments associated with MND and provided various tools to PwMND for composing effectively with them. Indeed, AID-COMp appears to provoke some degree of improvement of language skills, cognition and emotional well-being. These improvements may lead to more confidence in conversation and the recovery of relationships between the PwMND and their entourage. It is also possible that improvements acted positively on one another. These preliminary findings warrant further controlled studies with more participants, including a qualitative exploration of participant experiences. What is already known on the subject MND affects cognition and communication, which are crucial to a good relationship between a carer and a person with MND. Interventions involving only PwMND have been shown to be effective, but do not address all the communication impairments in the mild stage of MND. These interventions may require many therapy sessions. Generally, SLT interventions do not examine the potential effects of an intervention on carers. What this paper adds to existing knowledge AID-COMp, an intensive intervention of 10 sessions over 1 month, was provided to people living with MND in the community. It included training the person with MND in using a memory notebook combined with semantic and phonological therapy, a new discourse therapy and PACE therapy, addressing several communication deficits. After a control period of 2 months without intervention and a 1-month intensive intervention, the results showed significant improvement in naming, cognition and communication, and PwMND well-being. Moreover, the carers witnessed the impacts of therapy in their everyday life interactions with the PwMND. What are the potential or actual clinical implications of this work AID-COMp can provide communication support for PwMND that has further benefits reported by both PwMND and carers. We described AID-COMp in detail to inspire clinicians in providing SLT for unserved PwMND. Future research studies should use controlled designs, more participants and a qualitative component.

MENINGKATKAN KEMAMPUAN MENGIDENTIFIKASI STRUKTUR DAN UNSUR KEBAHASAAN TEKS CERITA FANTASI SISWA KELAS VII B SMP NEGERI 6 TABANAN

Learning to identify the structure and linguistic elements of fantasy story texts has been taught in class VII B State Junior High School 6 Tabanan according to the 2013 curriculum. the average obtained by students is still relatively low. This happens because of the inaccuracy of the learning method applied by the teacher when the learning process takes place. Teachers theorize more, so students feel bored and less interested in participating in learning. This study aims to describe students' abilities in identifying the structure and linguistic elements of fantasy story texts before and after applying the discovery learning method and improving learning outcomes obtained by class VII B students of State Junior High School 6 Tabanan in the 2021/2022 academic year. Data collection methods used, namely the method of observation, test method and method of recording documents. Observation method was used to obtain data about students' attitudes and behavior. The test method is used to determine the students' ability to identify the structure and linguistic elements of fantasy story texts. The data analysis method used is descriptive analysis method. Based on the data analysis that has been carried out, the results obtained are, the average value of students in the pre-cycle is 65.00 then in the first cycle it increases to 73.82 with a percentage increase of 14.76% and in the second cycle it increases again to 84.41 with a percentage increase of 14.76%. an increase of 15.51%. Thus, if it is connected with the action hypothesis, the ability to identify the structure and linguistic elements of fantasy story texts by applying the discovery learning method for class VII B students of State Junior High School 6 Tabanan in the 2021/2022 school year increases significantly.

LANGUAGE MEANS OF REPRESENTATION OF ARTISTIC SPACE IN THE SHORT STORY BY JACK LONDON “AN ODYSSEY OF THE NORTH”

The article is devoted to the peculiarities of the functioning of open and closed space in the artistic text. The purpose of this article is to explore the verbal means of creating artistic space in Jack London's short story from the North Cycle "An Odyssey of the North". It was extremely important in the course of the research to find out the essence of artistic space and the peculiarities of its organization in the text, to consider the main classifications and types of artistic space; to explore the artistic space in the short story in the context of types of information, types of presentation and narrative-compositional forms; as well as to compile frequency lists of the lexical markers that represent the artistic space in the short story and to provide a semantic description of the spatial markers and to determine their stylistic functions in the text. The artistic space in the story is mostly an open exact space. The closed artistic space is represented by only a few touches of the description of the main character's hut. The deployment of artistic space is carried out nonlinearly. Due to retrospection, the real space of the plot is interrupted by the description of the events that developed earlier, and therefore are considered new spatial markers. The real artistic space of the short story is the north of Canada – the Klondike, the imaginary artistic space is the space and its markers that function in the story, that odyssey, told by the protagonist. Both direct and indirect spatial markers take part in the actualization of artistic space in the short story. Direct spatial markers are introduced with the help of toponyms – astonyms and potamonyms and form the megaspace of the short story; and also common names meaning means of transportation and common names with generalizing local reference. Indirect spatial markers are realized with the help of lexical means that define meteorological phenomena, representatives of fauna, clothing items containing this seme. Among the lexical means that represent the imaginary artistic space of the text of the short story, toponyms are dominant. By genre, the artistic space in the short story can be defined as psychological. We see the prospects for further research in a comparative analysis of the means of realization of artistic space in the rest of the short stories that make up the North Cycle of Jack London's short stories.

THE EFFECT OF A VIDEO-AID CONTEXTUAL APPROACH TO THE EFFORTS OF IMPROVING THE ABILITY OF WRITING STORY TEXT IN CLASS IX JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOLS

The students' difficulties in understanding the material and the lack of interest in learning in learning to write short story texts were the background for this research to be conducted. A contextual approach assisted by instructional video media is used to overcome this problem. The formulation of the problem is whether there is an effect of using contextual approaches assisted by instructional videos on students' abilities in learning to write short story texts. The method used in this research is quantitative descriptive method using written test instruments as a tool to determine students' writing skills. Following are the results of the average score that students have at the time of the pretest getting 60.32 and the posttest getting 75.54, it can be seen that there is an increase in the value of 15.22 points. In line with the results of the paired sample test, which obtained a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.000 <0.005, it means that Ha is accepted. So it can be concluded that the use of a contextual approach assisted by instructional videos in learning to write short story texts can improve students' writing skills.

Метатекстовые признаки сборника "Сибирские рассказы" и его место в становлении литературного процесса региона второй половины XIX в.

The article presents an approach to the study of Siberian collective literary collections as metatexts. The research material is the collection (almanac) Siberian Stories (1862) – the first Siberian book of this type. Its compiler and publisher is N. S. Shchukin (1838–1870), an Irkutsk writer, public figure, founder of the Siberian community in St. Petersburg, who had a great influence on N. M. Yadrintsev and G. N. Potanin, the main ideologists of oblastnichestvo [Siberian regionalism movement]. Their memories of N. S. Shchukin are involved in the study as supplementary material. The relevance and, at the same time, the novelty of the work (in the framework of studying the literature of Siberia) are due, firstly, to the lack of literary analysis of both the collection Siberian Stories and the works included in it (authored by I. V. Omulevsky and A. K. Ordynsky); secondly, the need to comprehend its place in the literary process of the region of the second half of the 19th century, associated with the activities of oblastniks [members of the Siberian regionalism movement], who actively developed the theory of identity of Siberian literature. The aim of the article is to identify the signs linking the texts of the collection Siberian Stories into an artistic whole and thereby forming a metatext. The author of the article assumes that there is an idea, a concept, or even an internal intention of the compiler, who, guided by any of the above, determines the selection and order of texts in the collection, and also takes into account the actual writers’ position, the content of the works and correlates them with the image of a real or potential reader (the target audience). The research methods were sociological and structuraldescriptive, as well as methods of narrative and motivic analysis to identify the frequency, common components of works in the collection. The rationale for the use of the metatext theory in one of its extended interpretations is the effective experience of its application for the study of literary ensembles. The analysis of the collection Siberian Stories shows that its metatextual features are read at several interrelated levels: ideological, conceptual, structural, which finds expression in narrative, compositional, motivic and figurative specifics. The fact that this publication is a metatext (metanarrative) about Siberia, created by Siberians and for Siberians, makes it possible to fit it into the culturalhistorical and, in particular, literary process of the region as a landmark phenomenon, the relevance of which was due to the requests of literary subjects. The significance of the collection is confirmed by the fact that it expresses the characteristic features of a new stage in the formation of Siberian literature in the 1860s: the ideology of oblastnichestvo, the image of a Siberian writer, the Siberian circle of problems, the Siberian reader as a target, genre heterogeneity, the feuilleton manner of narration.
