{"status":"public","title":"Mindful tutors: Linguistic choice and action demonstration in speech to infants and a simulated robot","abstract":[{"text":"It has been proposed that the design of robots might benefit from interactions that are similar to caregiver–child interactions, which is tailored to children’s respective capacities to a high degree. However, so far little is known about how people adapt their tutoring behaviour to robots and whether robots can evoke input that is similar to child-directed interaction. The paper presents detailed analyses of speakers’ linguistic and non-linguistic behaviour, such as action demonstration, in two comparable situations: In one experiment, parents described and explained to their nonverbal infants the use of certain everyday objects; in the other experiment, participants tutored a simulated robot on the same objects. The results, which show considerable differences between the two situations on almost all measures, are discussed in the light of the computer-as-social-actor paradigm and the register hypothesis.","lang":"eng"}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["1572-0381"]},"publisher":"John Benjamins Publishing Company","issue":"1","type":"journal_article","page":"134-161","year":"2011","intvolume":"        12","_id":"17233","doi":"10.1075/is.12.1.06fis","citation":{"ama":"Fischer K, Foth K, Rohlfing K, Wrede B.
