  2. Glide reflection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glide_reflection

    Combining two equal glide plane operations gives a pure translation with a translation vector that is twice that of the glide reflection, so the even powers of the glide reflection form a translation group. In the case of glide-reflection symmetry, the symmetry group of an object contains a glide reflection and the group generated by it. For ...

  3. Communication accommodation theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication...

    Like speech accommodation theory, communication accommodation theory continues to draw from social psychology, particularly from four main socio-psychology theories: similarity-attraction, social exchange, causal attribution and intergroup distinctiveness. These theories help to explain why speakers seek to converge or diverge from the language ...

  4. Frieze group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frieze_group

    p2mm: TRHVG (translation, 180° rotation, horizontal line reflection, vertical line reflection, and glide reflection) Formally, a frieze group is a class of infinite discrete symmetry groups of patterns on a strip (infinitely wide rectangle), hence a class of groups of isometries of the plane, or of a strip.

  5. Euclidean plane isometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_plane_isometry

    [d q] Glide reflection; Three mirrors. If they are all parallel, the effect is the same as a single mirror (slide a pair to cancel the third). Otherwise we can find an equivalent arrangement where two are parallel and the third is perpendicular to them. The effect is a reflection combined with a translation parallel to the mirror.

  6. Co-cultural communication theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Co-cultural_communication...

    Since the introduction of co-cultural theory in "Laying the foundation for co-cultural communication theory: An inductive approach to studying "non-dominant" communication strategies and the factors that influence them" (1996), Orbe has published two works describing the theory and its use as well as several studies on communication patterns and strategies based on different co-cultural groups.

  7. Reflection group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_group

    In group theory and geometry, a reflection group is a discrete group which is generated by a set of reflections of a finite-dimensional Euclidean space.The symmetry group of a regular polytope or of a tiling of the Euclidean space by congruent copies of a regular polytope is necessarily a reflection group.

  8. Gatekeeping (communication) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatekeeping_(communication)

    Gatekeeping is the process through which information is filtered for dissemination, whether for publication, broadcasting, the Internet, or some other mode of communication. The academic theory of gatekeeping may be found in multiple fields of study, including communication studies, journalism, political science, and sociology. [1]

  9. The Theory of Communicative Action - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Theory_of...

    The Theory of Communicative Action was the subject of a collection of critical essays published in 1986. [34] The philosopher Tom Rockmore, writing in 1989, commented that it was unclear whether The Theory of Communicative Action or Habermas's earlier work Knowledge and Human Interests (1968), was the most important of Habermas's works.
