  text: 'In order for artificial intelligent systems to interact naturally with human
    users, they need to be able to learn from human instructions when actions should
    be imitated. Human tutoring will typically consist of action demonstrations accompanied
    by speech. In the following, the characteristics of human tutoring during action
    demonstration will be examined. A special focus will be put on the distinction
    between two kinds of motion events: path-oriented actions and manner-oriented
    actions. Such a distinction is inspired by the literature pertaining to cognitive
    linguistics, which indicates that the human conceptual system can distinguish
    these two distinct types of motion. These two kinds of actions are described in
    language by more path-oriented or more manner-oriented utterances. In path-oriented
    utterances, the source, trajectory, or goal is emphasized, whereas in manner-oriented
    utterances the medium, velocity, or means of motion are highlighted. We examined
    a video corpus of adult-child interactions comprised of three age groups of children-pre-lexical,
    early lexical, and lexical-and two different tasks, one emphasizing manner more
    strongly and one emphasizing path more strongly. We analyzed the language and
    motion of the caregiver and the gazing behavior of the child to highlight the
    differences between the tutoring and the acquisition of the manner and path concepts.
    The results suggest that age is an important factor in the development of these
    action categories. The analysis of this corpus has also been exploited to develop
    an intelligent robotic behavior -the tutoring spotter system-able to emulate children''s
    behaviors in a tutoring situation, with the aim of evoking in human subjects a
    natural and effective behavior in teaching to a robot. The findings related to
    the development of manner and path concepts have been used to implement new effective
    feedback strategies in the tutoring spotter system, which should provide improvements
    in human-robot interaction.'
