Abstract: This paper argues that language is a crucial cognitive component in learning, and that it provides the necessary linking structures for learning to happen. As such, the modeling of the representational infrastructure for language-based eLearning analytics needs to take into account the way natural language acts guide and support the execution of the learning events. The modeling of language use as language acts that form part of the learning event structures would allow us to abstract away from code-driven modeling of eLearning analytics and focus also on the conceptual underpinning of language use that are grounded in the cognition of ...
