The Application of Cooperative Principle in Interrogation
Full text linkLanguage is the fundamental medium through which individuals articulate thoughts, convey emotions, and engage in social interaction. Effective communication is essential in virtually all human activities, enabling participants to exchange messages and construct shared meanings. Successful communication occurs when speakers and listeners align their intentions, allowing messages to be transmitted clearly and understood accurately. Within the field of pragmatics, the Cooperative Principle (CP), introduced by philosopher H.P. Grice, offers a powerful framework for analyzing how conversational participants collaborate to achieve mutual understanding, often by adhering to or strategically violating established conversational norms. This paper explores the theoretical foundations of the Cooperative Principle and its four attendant maxims, Quality, Quantity, Relation, and Manner. It further examines their application within the specialized context of interrogation, where communication is inherently asymmetrical and goal-driven. By analyzing how interrogators and interviewees either follow or flout these maxims to assert control, elicit information, or resist disclosure, this study illuminates the intricate dynamics of power, deception, and pragmatics in investigative dialogues. The findings underscore the utility of Gricean pragmatics as an analytical tool for understanding strategic communication in high-stakes institutional settings
Doxing in China: The “Human Flesh Search” Phenomenon and Its Criminal Law Regulation
Full text linkDoxing constitutes an important manifestation of online violence, and the assessment of its degree of seriousness is a key issue in the formulation of governance rules. Existing standards based on the quantity of personal information fail to accurately reflect the severity of doxing conduct. From the perspective of the dual-layered legal interest theory, and in light of the mosaic theory, the core problem does not lie in the excessive threshold of quantitative standards, but rather in the fact that a single information-quantity criterion is incapable of capturing the “aggregation effect” among multiple pieces of information and the resulting “structural exposure” of the victim’s identity. Consequently, information quantity cannot function as an appropriate intermediate factor for assessing the infringement of legal interests caused by doxing. Accordingly, the evaluation of legal interest infringement in doxing cases should shift from a purely quantitative approach to a typological analysis, a more operational normative framework for administrative–criminal coordination can be established
Research on the Legal Issue of “Borrowing A Name to Buy A House”
Full text linkWith the development of the economy of the times, the phenomenon of buying houses in the real estate market is not uncommon, and its legal risks continue to emerge with policy regulation and debt disputes. This paper analyzes the validity of the borrowed name purchase contract, the ownership of real rights and the review standards of enforcement objections by borrowed names by combining judicial practice and academic disputes, and proposes to construct a judicial adjudication framework for borrowed house purchase disputes by improving the rules of evidence, balancing the publicity of real rights and factual real rights, and strengthening the enforcement objection review procedures, so as to safeguard the security of transactions and the legitimate rights and interests of the parties
Legal Regulation of Malicious Trademark Squatting in the Context of the Digital Economy
Full text linkThe fast rise of the digital economy has deeply altered the intellectual property rights landscape, it’s like a double-edged sword, promoting innovation and also providing a place for bad actors to squat on trademarks. In this paper, it is investigated how trademark squatting behaviors mutated in the digital era as the registration process is cheaper due to the digital era and the value of digital traffic which makes it motivating for “bad faith” actors to pre-emptively reserve names tied to trend, internet slang and digital assets like NFTs and metaverse properties. Unlike previous squatting, it is sporadic and targeted squatting; while digital squatting has high frequency, automation, and cross-border characteristics, making it a new type of intellectual property squatting that has been industrialized. Through a thorough review of existing laws this paper finds regulatory gaps mainly because of the difficulty in identifying “bad faith” and regulating non-traditional digital marks. After reading data from statistical data, case types; it has indicated the flaws of facing such a rapid and speedy paced digital mark through the usage-based or registration-based pre-existing system. In the paper a multidimension regulatory approach is proposed, advocating AI use in trademark examination, dynamic “bad faith” blacklist and modification of “intent to use” requirement to counter digital speculation. The results show that we can only adapt a legal evolution that can protect the trademark system from the disruptive nature of the digital economy so that the law can protect real commerce instead of just commerce by extortion
Research on the Application of Situational Teaching Method in Basic Performance Teaching in Colleges and Universities
Full text linkBasic performance teaching is the core cornerstone of the performance major in colleges and universities, directly determining the foundation of students’ performance literacy and their potential for subsequent professional development. Currently, basic performance teaching in Chinese colleges and universities still faces problems such as rigid traditional lecture-based teaching, passive imitation by students, empty emotional expression, and difficulty in role immersion. The situational teaching method, centered on “creating real situations, guiding active experience, and stimulating emotional resonance”, aligns with the core goals of basic performance teaching—“liberating nature, perceiving roles, and conveying emotions”—and can effectively address the drawbacks of traditional teaching. By adopting questionnaire surveys and case studies, combined with the reality of basic performance teaching in colleges and universities, this paper explores the application value, existing problems, and optimization paths of the situational teaching method. The application effect is verified through teaching cases, providing operable practical references for the reform of basic performance teaching in colleges and universities, helping to improve teaching quality and cultivate performance professionals with solid foundations, strong emotional expression abilities, and innovative capabilities
The Research on a Currency Board System: The Case of Hong Kong Region
Full text linkThe Currency Board System is a relatively old topic. But due to the successive increases of interest rates by the US Federal Reserve in 2022, the topic has received attention again. This paper will analyse the Currency Board System through a typical example-Hong Kong region. Firstly, the background of Currency Board System will be described. Then three conditions for the success of the Currency Board System will be analysed in the third part. After that, the suitable types of economy to apply the Currency Board System will be pointed out. Finally, it is recommend that different countries with different economic environment are better rationally implement the suitable exchange rate regime
Research on the Influence of Firm Economic Policy Uncertainty Perception on the Level of Firm Risk Taking
Full text linkRisk-taking level is a key factor determining corporate performance and growth rate. Moderate risk-taking contributes to the maximization of corporate value and high-quality economic development. However, corporate risk decisions are highly reliant on the anticipation of the macroeconomic environment. Current research often assumes that firms have a consistent perception of external uncertainties and employs national-level indicators to measure economic policy uncertainty. This paper innovatively approaches from the perspective of firm-level perception of economic policy uncertainty, taking into account perception heterogeneity, and delves into its impact on corporate risk-taking levels. It aims to enrich theoretical and empirical research in the field that combines macro and micro perspectives, providing decision-making references for government and corporate departments. Subsequently, hypotheses are proposed, and using China's Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listed companies as the research subjects, this paper empirically examines the impact of the perception of economic policy uncertainty on corporate risk-taking levels and explores the mediating role of corporate investment. Based on the above conclusions, this paper puts forward policy recommendations from the perspectives of government policy formulation and implementation, the disclosure of firms' perception of economic policy uncertainty, investment decisions, and internal governance. This study enriches research in the field that integrates macro and micro perspectives, offering insights for the country to formulate long-term and stable economic policies and providing valuable references for firms to understand uncertainty and maintain appropriate risk-taking levels
Lawman’s Brut - Old English Reconstructed
Full text linkBrut is a discourse written in the 1200s in the prestigious English of King Alfred (848-886). It tells the story of a long line of English kings legitimised by God including an ‘Anglo-Norman’ King Arthur. This article explores the identity, the language and the motivation of the author (who we call ‘Lawman’). It argues that Brut offers ESL teachers a valuable window into how English developed its irregular grammar and unpredictable spellings. By examining a text written during a period of intense linguistic change, teachers can help learners understand that modern English is the product of multiple layers. Lawman did a good, but not quite perfect, job. He seems to make morphological errors and he is not able to alliterate consistently. If Lawman was a scriptorium team, the team-members would have had to compile an Old English (OE) dictionary and a translation from French. The main writer would probably have spoken the Ancrene-Bodleian (AB) dialect of Middle English (ME) but be able to deploy an archaic grammar with the skill level of a modern degree student undergraduate approaching finals. He would have needed a patron, possibly Bishop Walter de Gray or a local knight. If Lawman was the ‘The Tremulous Hand of Worcester’ he might have possessed all the necessary skills, if a patron supplied him with vellum, ink and library space. In the introduction to the work, Lawman’s motivation for writing appears almost whimsical, but it may have had a political purpose, to support the monarchy. The political context shows how ideas about language, identity, and authority were expressed in medieval England, offering another point of interest for ESL teachers by placing the poem’s linguistic features within their cultural moment
How Financial Capability Protects Financial Well-Being during COVID-19: A Pre- and Post-Pandemic Analysis
Full text linkFinancial well-being represents both the material foundation and an essential component of overall household well-being. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic at the end of 2019 significantly impacted a wide range of small and large business owners as well as wage earners across the United States, subsequently affecting the financial well-being of many households. In order to mitigate such adverse effects, this study aims to explore whether higher financial capability positively influences financial well-being. Consistent with findings from prior research on financial behavior, which suggest that stronger financial capability leads to improved financial well-being, this study further investigates the mediating effect of financial behavior. The analysis reveals that financial capability affects financial well-being indirectly through its influence on financial behavior. Moreover, a heterogeneity analysis shows that individuals with higher levels of education tend to possess stronger financial capability, which in turn leads to differences in financial well-being. Additional analyses suggest that financial capability serves as a necessary condition for achieving financial well-being
Evaluation of Social–Ecological System Stability and Analysis of Its Influencing Factors in Karst Desertification Control Areas
Full text linkA stable social-ecological system can more effectively respond to natural disasters, climate change, and human-induced disturbances. Karst desertification control areas are subject to the dual constraints of ecological restoration and economic development; however, research on the stability of social-ecological systems in such regions remains limited. Therefore, this study developed a social-ecological system stability evaluation framework to assess the stability of three desertification control areas with varying degradation levels, and subsequently applied a factor contribution model and an obstacle degree diagnostic model to analyze the key determinants influencing system stability. The study found that: (1) The stability of the Qingzhen study area (0.3920) was higher than that of the Salaxi study area (0.3162), which in turn exceeded that of the Huajiang study area (0.2154). (2) Indicators across the study areas exhibited clear asymmetry between contribution and obstacle degrees, with no one-to-one correspondence, such as high contribution-low obstacle or low contribution-high obstacle. (3) The stability formation mechanisms in different study areas shared common characteristics of “multi-factor co-driving and universal constraints from public services.” Specifically, the obstacle degrees of public service criteria were 62.44%, 57.63%, and 60.00% in the Salaxi, Qingzhen, and Huajiang study areas, respectively
