	Path models of the relationships of instrumentality and expressiveness to social self-efficacy, shyness, and ...
		Expressiveness, the constellation of characteristics associated with traditional femininity and termed "communion" by Bakan, includes those characteristics related to nurturance, interpersonal caring and sensitivity, and emotional openness.
		Using the short form of the BSRI, Hunt (1993) reported that both instrumentality and expressiveness were related to measures of overall positive affect and life satisfaction and to fewer reported depressive symptoms.
		Because it is expressiveness that is associated with the traditional feminine role, one might expect that people higher in expressiveness would be more outgoing and socially comfortable and confident, yet there is evidence that instrumentality is the stronger predictor.

	The Expressiveness of Speech, by Alfred Russel Wallace
		The tendency to preserve or add to the expressiveness of speech evidently varies much among different peoples, and we must not, therefore, be surprised at finding some incongruities in the use of even the most simple and natural sounds.
		Even more expressive are the words by which we indicate power or effort, such as might, strive, strenuous, struggle, laborious, strong, strength--this last being one of the most remarkably expressive in the language, consisting, as it does, of no less then seven consonants and only one vowel, all the consonants being fully and distinctly sounded.
		The word growth is expressive of the gradual extension of a young plant owing to the circumstance that we begin its pronunciation far back in the mouth, and that it seems to move outwards till the tongue touches the teeth or even the protruded lips.

	Xah: What is Expressiveness in a Computer Language
		English for example, is very expressive in manifestation, witness all the poetry and implications and allusions and connotations and dictions.
		The former is “expressive” in terms of nuance, where the latter is expressive with respect to meaning.
		Similarly, in computer languages, expressiveness is significant with respect to semantics, not syntactical variation.

	Creative Software Can Extend Children's Expressiveness
		The expressive arts (visual art, music and movement, dramatic play) are a natural and basic part of all young children's lives.
		When children are given the opportunity to choose materials and ample time in which to complete their activities, they feel as if they have control over their own play.
		Through active participation in the expressive arts, children make great strides in the processes of understanding and creating symbols, critical to communication and literacy development.

	ICL: Previous Projects > Animation
		The animation project is concerned with determining for which sorts of data relations and for which sorts of data analytical tasks animation is an effective and an expressive means of display.
		Expressiveness is how well a display encodes all and only the desired relations among data.
		Why the insights lent by animation did not transfer is one of the most vexed questions raised by this line of research.

	Expressiveness in a Digital Medium
		The average append with expressive content is longer (20.5 lines on average) than the average append that contains news or analysis (16 lines on average).
		The core of this expressiveness is found in the relationships appenders create between themselves and the event.
		The expressiveness of the community of aggrieved helps people to achieve catharsis, but in the process, it also helps to build the community.

	How Volume Control Affects the Expressiveness of the Ocarina
		Expressiveness and feeling can be put into to ocarina music by varying volume and bending notes.
		Expressiveness and very dramatic effect can be added to ocarina music by intentionally bending notes, especially on slower music.
		If you want to hear some really nice examples of how volume control and note bending can be used to add expressiveness, go to the Mountain Ocarinas site and click on their sound samples button.

	Simplicity, expressiveness and performance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-12)
		Expressiveness: it should be possible to naturally express a very wide range of applications, ranging from deterministic systems to highly concurrent ones, and encompassing both code and specifications.
		Although simplicity and performance are in principle natural allies, maximizing at the same time the expressiveness dimension is perhaps the key point in Maude's language design.
		Languages are after all representational devices, and it is on how generally, naturally, and easily problems and applications can be represented and can be reasoned about that the merits of a language should be judged.

	RAND \| Papers \| Effects of expressiveness, content coverage, and incentive on multidimensional student rating scales: ...
		The Dr. Fox effect is the overriding influence of instructor expressiveness on students' evaluations of college/university teaching.
		A factor analysis of the rating items identified five evaluation factors which varied in the way they were affected by experimental manipulations of instructor expressiveness and content coverage in three incentive conditions.
		However, when students were not given incentive to learn, instructor expressiveness had a greater impact than did content coverage on each of the student rating factors (supporting the Dr. Fox effect) and examination performance.

	Children's expressiveness linked to family and culture
		Culture and family environment influence children's facial expressivity and create differences among children of the same ethnicity, results from a study of four groups of young Chinese and American girls suggest.
		During the study, lead researcher Linda A. Camras, PhD, a psychology professor at DePaul University in Chicago, and her colleagues videotaped 3-year-old girls' facial expressions as they viewed mildly negative images, such as a puppy in a dirty cage, or happy ones, such as a bunny wearing Groucho Marx glasses.
		They found that a mother's strictness, including her attitude toward the appropriateness of children's emotional expressiveness versus restraint, strongly predicted her daughter's expressiveness, leading them to conclude that family life is a stronger influence than ethnicity on a child's expressiveness.

		Shouldn't the computer work for me? I realized that, in almost all cases, expressiveness is much more important than speed, as long as the speed is reasonable.
		I read that Nicklaus Wirth would only add an optimization to his (Pascal/Modula/Oberon) compiler IFF the time to compile the compiler was reduced when compiling the compiler with a compiler compiled with the new optimization.
		This is complex stuff, and it occasionally requires understanding of the machine on all levels, from the cache coherency protocol that the motherboard uses, right up to the highest level of abstraction.

	Models Of Computation
		Another important pragmatic, qualitative, aspect is its expressiveness, which is related to the ease with which it is possible to express computations in it.
		With regards to expressiveness; nobody ever claims TuringMachines are an expressive model.
		Speaking of the "expressiveness" of a low-level computational model misses the point completely; expressiveness is more important as a figure of merit of a language (or other tool used by programmers).

	Expressiveness and abstraction
		Examples of virtual types were first motivated by the need for expressiveness so that safe practical examples would not be rejected.
		In both works, the priority is given to expressiveness, i.e.
		Thus, we have not really lost expressiveness here, but solely some form of abstraction.

	Expressiveness
		In a functional language true to its name, functions have unique values as their results, and it is neither easy nor natural to deal with highly concurrent and nondeterministic systems while keeping the language's functional semantics.
		It is well-known that such systems pose a serious expressiveness challenge for functional languages.
		Besides this generality in expressing both deterministic and nondeterministic computations, further expressiveness is gained by the following features:

		This indicates that they would expect to be able to reuse the same instance of a file object to point to different files.
		If the code required to accomplish a user goal can be interpreted correctly and if it matches the user’s expectations, the API is said to be transparent.
		If the code required to accomplish a user goal cannot be interpreted correctly and does not fully match users expectations, the API is said to be opaque.

		I said earlier that two things limited our expressiveness.
		The first is our knowledge of features, but the second is the set of expectations that have been established through common practice.
		As computers empower our expressiveness, they also plot to take it away.

		But I don’t believe that any amount of interface improvement will solve the more basic problem, which is that effective use of a computer requires at least some skill at programming.
		The user interfaces we typically employ to control our computers today are crufty, brittle, and not very expressive, outside of an extremely narrow range of application.
		They could be a lot better; however, I think the real limiting factor of nearly all existing software applications is that they deny the user complete control over the expressive power of the machine.

	Typing in object-oriented languages: Achieving expressiveness and safety
		While simple static-typing disciplines exist for object-oriented languages like C++, Java, and Object Pascal, they are often so inflexible that programmers are forced to use type casts to get around the restrictions.
		At the other extreme are languages like Beta and Eiffel, which allow more freedom, but require run-time or link-time checking to pick up the type errors that their type systems are unable to detect at compile time.
		This paper presents a collection of sample programs which illustrate problems with existing type systems, and suggests ways of improving the expressiveness of these systems while retaining static type safety.
