An Automatic Measure of Cross-Language Text Structures
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kim, Kyung – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2018
In order to further validate and extend the application of "GIKS" (Graphical Interface of Knowledge Structure) beyond English, this investigation applies the "GIKS" to capture, visually represent, and compare text structures inherent in two "contrasting" languages. The English and parallel Korean versions of 50…

Graphic Display of Larger Sentence Dependency Structures.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Craven, Timothy C. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1991
Outlines desirable qualities for graphic representation of sentence dependency structures in texts more than a few sentences in length. Several different display formats prototyped in the TEXNET experimental text structure management system are described, illustrated, and compared, and automatic structure manipulations are discussed.

Condensed Representation of Sentences in Graphic Displays of Text Structures.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Craven, Timothy C. – Journal of Documentation, 1990
Discusses ways in which sentences may be represented in a condensed form in graphic displays of a sentence dependency structure. A prototype of a text structure management system, TEXNET, is described; a quantitative evaluation of automatic abbreviation schemes is presented; full-text compression is discussed; and additional research is suggested.…

Visual Discrimination, Learning, and Page Layout: Wrap-Around, Run-Around, and Transparent Text.
Knupfer, Nancy Nelson; McIsaac, Marina Stock – 1990
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of three electronic text variables (run-around, wrap-around, and transparent text) on reading speed and comprehension. One hundred thirty-two undergraduate students in an introductory computer literacy course at a major university were asked to read one of three randomly-distributed passages…

Aspillaga, Macarena – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1991
Describes a study of undergraduates that examined the effects on retention of the screen location of information displayed in computer-assisted instruction (CAI) for Spanish. Three treatment groups are described: (1) text was relevant to graphical information; (2) text was at the upper middle section of the screen; and (3) text was random. (32…

Designing Instructional Materials with Desktop Publishing Software: The Effect of White-Space Variations on Learning.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Knupfer, Nancy Nelson; McIsaac, Marina Stock – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1992
Discussion of the use of desktop publishing software to produce instructional materials highlights a study that used a wrap-around text format with variations in the amount of white space surrounding the graphic to investigate the effect of white space variations on the reading speed and comprehension of undergraduate students.
