Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i2 Accommodation scores from the unsupervised DBN correlate positively with hand-coded prevalence of other-oriented transacts, with r = .36 significant at p < .05. → Gweon 2013

q2 · i2 · associational · r1
Correlational hypothesis test on the freeform Ottoman Empire debate corpus: DBN accommodation scores, assigned via three-fold cross-validation, were regressed on hand-coded other-oriented transact prevalence. The article reports "a significant positive correlation" with "R = .36, p< .05".
"The evaluation demonstrates a significant positive correlation between an automatic measure of speech style accommodation and prevalence of other-oriented transacts (R = .36, p< .05)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Speech-style accommodation correlates with prevalence of other-oriented transactions, enabling acoustic prediction of transactivity
- The DBN accommodation measure scores real conversation pairs higher than lexically matched constructed pairs, validating it as a measure of speech style accommodation — related
- Human coding of other-oriented transacts in the debate corpus reached high inter-coder reliability (kappa 0.72 for reasoning, 0.7 for transactivity, 0.95 for self/other distinction) — related
