Analysing frequent natural language expressions from design conversations
https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0158-4795
This paper extracts and analyses the most frequent natural language expressions used by participants in two real-world collaborative design sessions. The frequent expressions are extracted using the natural language processing technique of word sequence tokenisation. We then select a set of frequent expressions related to design changes. The boundaries of these are expanded by extracting the progression trends to identify specific speaker intents. These are analysed in detail while focusing on ambiguity and vagueness, aiming at identifying speakers’ precision when communicating design changes. We found that frequently used expressions play the role of language markers. In our discussion, we suggest that ambiguous and vague expressions used by participants can initiate mindful explorations of design space.
Highlights Participants use frequent expressions which are ambiguous and vague. Frequent expressions play the role of language markers. Frequent expressions can be used to initiate design-space explorations. Frequent expressions can be linked to various design acts. Progression of the frequent expressions reduces ambiguity.
