QAParadigm Downloads

The question-answer paradigm, or QAP, is a term used in psycho-linguistics to refer to a familiar mode of human discourse. The QAP is currently the subject of several lines of linguistics research.

QAParadigm application program facilitates a common QAP experiment that involves display of a sentence, then a verbal question about the sentence.

Of special interest in QAP investigations is that the interpretation of a dialog may be influenced by changes that make no syntactic difference, such as a choice of a verb or intonation.

In one type of linguistics study using the QAP, a written statement is displayed to a test subject, and a question is asked verbally, to detect a difference in interpretation.

Using the QAParadigm software application is meant to facilitate such experiments, by reducing the fuss of organizing and executing them.

The program can be used in single-screen or multiple-screen modes.
