The in-depth corpus-based description of productive fluency points out major differences of how fluency is established in native and nonnative speech. It also reveals areas in which even highly advanced learners of English still deviate strongly from the native target norm and in which they have already approximated to it. Based on these findings, selected learners are subjected to native speakers' ratings of seven perceptive fluency variables in orStudies in Corpus LinguisticsFluency (Language learning)Native language and educationEnglish languageStudy and teachingForeign speakersFluency (Language learning)Native language and education.English languageStudy and teachingForeign speakers.428.0071Gotz Sandra617344MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910961301203321Fluency in native and nonnative English speech1086499UNINA03777nam 22006733 450 99664784290331620251116153915.09783839474624383947462010.1515/9783839474624(CKB)37347891800041(MiAaPQ)EBC31894002(Au-PeEL)EBL31894002(OCoLC)1500761711(DE-B1597)694553(DE-B1597)9783839474624(ScCtBLL)80b73582-0209-443c-a9e1-a8a4dccd205d(EXLCZ)993734789180004120250216d2025 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierGaming the Metaverse1st ed.Bielefeld :transcript Verlag,2025.©2025.1 online resource (398 pages)Bild und Bit ;219783837674620 3837674622 Cover -- Table of Contents -- Preface and Acknowledgements -- Metaverse's Modern Prehistory.

A Proto-Metaverse -- Contributors.Neal Stephenson’s 1992 novel Snow Crash conceived of the Metaverse as an escapist medium within a dystopian future. By the early 2000s, his vision had evolved into a blueprint for pioneering virtual worlds, notably Second Life. In the 2010s, technology companies—from Meta to Epic Games—recast the Metaverse as the next frontier of digital experience and revenue generation. Now, in the 2020s, the still speculative concept encompasses a convergence of extended reality technologies alongside blockchain systems and artificial intelligence. The contributors bring together leading scholars and industry professionals to examine past “imaginations” and recent “achievements” in the pursuit of the Metaverse. They trace its development through literary, media, and cultural history while exploring current applications and their technical, social, cultural, and economic implications.SOCIAL SCIENCE / Media StudiesbisacshComputer Games.Cultural Studies.Cyberspace.Digital Culture.Digital Media.Media Aesthetics.Media Studies.Media Theory.Media.Metaverse.Popular Culture.Virtual Reality.SOCIAL SCIENCE / Media Studies.Beil Benjamin1789368Freyermuth Gundolf S1221305Hamm Isabelle1789369Ossa Vanessa1274894MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996647842903316Gaming the Metaverse4324888UNISA
