Booth, Chase R.; Brown, Hannah L.; Eason, Elizabeth G.; Wallot, Sebastian; Kelty-Stephen, Damian G. – Discourse Processes: A multidisciplinary journal, 2018
Reader expectations form across hierarchical scales of discourse (e.g., from coarse to fine: genre, narrative, syntax). Cross-scale interactivity produces word reading times (RTs) with multifractal structure. After introducing multifractals, we test two hypotheses regarding their relevance to reader expectations: (1) multifractal evidence of…

Therefore, this study thematically analyses peer-reviewed articles from English language international journals. Articles were…

Lewkowich, David – Pedagogies: An International Journal, 2019
With the increasing educational and institutional legitimacy afforded to multimodal texts, there is a need to further explore the use of the visual and its place in reader response, not only as a textual means to prompt interpretation but also as a form of interpretation itself. In this paper, I look at the multimodal interpretive practices of one…

Epstein, William M. – Research on Social Work Practice, 2016
The corruption of the social work enterprise is not simply episodic but systemic and long-standing including education, research, governance, and practice.
