Tourism in the 21st Century

 Hello:

I would like to thank Greg Richards for inviting me to join this online discussion. I have a few notes, basically my personal impressions regarding tourism, cultures, and creative elements.
1. The coming of Metaverse and AI - would certainly transform the industry, not to mention the information already available online and businesses capitalizing on the potential.



2. Cultures have been negotiated and are often negotiable, which is as we know 'political'. I do not wish to see cultures as simply narratives, but a way of life of a group of people.
3. The tradeoff between international tourism and economic growth is not easy to determine. In general, the need to drive the economy may override other considerations, including local and global stakeholders.

 27 November Writing a Discussion Section

9.00 - 10.00: Workshop/KM, 10.30 onwards: Writing + Consultation + Feedback

To discuss is one of the fun parts of writing a thesis or report. You now have the power to do what should be done. You are an active agent now and you have been empowered by your effort.



There are many different ways to write this section. 

You can focus your discussions around 4 key elements:

1. การตีความ Interpretations: What do the results mean?

2. นัยของข้อค้นพบ Implications: Why do the results matter?

3. ข้อจำกัด Limitations: What can’t the results tell us?

4. คำแนะนำ Recommendations: What practical actions or scientific studies should follow?

The findings of this study are in contrast with those of Baker, Smith, and Black (2019) in that they have found botching to be boring and useless among college students, but this study found that the majority of Thai university students enjoyed chatting with an AI chatbot.

Language Form - Language Use - A Hypothesis on the Frequency Correspondences and Predictability

A long time ago, my professor, whose name I intentionally withhold, told me one law of the universe -that is, the frequency is the law.

It works well when applied to most phenomena, including language use.

Grammar is no exception. For the sake of convenience, we humans prefer shorter versions to longer ones such as a boy and three boys.

Haspelmath (2021) offers a hypothesis - that is that language use affects the form of grammar.

The form-frequency correspondence - is posted to be universal, that is, the shorter form reflects more use among people. The author cites examples of the use of present tense over past tenses and the use of singular form over plural forms.

The laws that I intend to investigate further are:

1. "The Form-Frequency Correspondence Universal Law" - that is that "Languages tend to have shorter forms for more frequent meanings."

This hypothesis has been formulated from his observation that singular nouns are more frequent than plural nouns, and present-tense forms are more frequent than future-tense forms.

The idea of form–frequency correspondences in grammar


"Language systems favour efficient coding (Hawkins Reference Hawkins2004Reference Hawkins2014), or that they support efficient communication (Gibson et al. Reference Gibson, Futrell, Piandadosi, Dautriche, Mahowald, Bergen and Levy2019)."
