The Dark Side of Globalization by Jorge Heine and Ramesh Thakur, editors
Get PDFA collection of fourteen articles brings to the fore some of the negative effects of globalization. Whilst not denying the opportunities brought to the world by globalization, the authors try to shed light on the fact that there are less visible, but extremely dangerous, consequences such as terrorism, insurgency and all types of illicit trafficking. Though these phenomena are not entirely new to the world, they now use sophisticated and advanced technologies to exploit the weaknesses of governments and international organizations. ?? ??????????????????????????14?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Reconsideration of the Use of Salt in the J?mon Period
Get PDFPottery salt production, which appears in the Late J?mon period, has been studied in terms of its exchange networks and production processes as well as the typology of salt-making pottery. J?mon salt-making pottery is found on the Pacific coast of eastern Honsh? Island. The many sites which contain salt-making pottery sherds are widely distributed through the Kant? Plain, even in inland areas. In most previous studies, the use of salt in the region has been assumed to be related to the preservation of marine products because diverse fishing tools have been uncovered from the southern coast of Lake Kasumigaura, the central area of salt production in the Kant? Plain. However, this scenario cannot explain the wide distribution of salt pottery in the Kant? Plain. As salt production was performed in various places over a wide area, in order to interpret the development of saltmaking in the J?mon period, it is important to compare J?mon salt production with other examples of salt production. In this paper, using some ethnographic examples from the New Guinea highlands, I will try to clarify the use of salt, and the reason why salt production developed in the Late J?mon period. ?? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Sic transit...: South Eastern Europe-Japan University Cooperation Network Student Forum
Get PDF"Sic transit..." documents the proceedings of ‘South Eastern Europe-Japan University Cooperation Network Student Forum’ held at the University of Tsukuba in 2010. The proceedings comprise individual research papers as well as reports of the two discussion sessions and overall Forum evaluation. While the individual papers discuss issues from each researcher’s specific field of expertise under the Forum umbrella theme, the discussion sessions address a wide range of issues and problems concerning language and society from an essentially trans-disciplinary perspective. ??

Get PDFIn third century China there was a discussion of whether language does or does not exhaust the meaning of words. There were three positions on language. First, that intuitive knowledge, which Confucian sages can acquire, cannot be expressed in language, that is language does not exhaust the meaning of words. Second, that there could be a gradual grasp of meaning through language and symbol. Third, that something which reaches into the mind is necessarily accompanied by language, that is to say language does exhaust the meaning of words. Each position reflects the view taken by each of the three scholars: He Yan ??; Wang Bi ?? of the Wei ? dynasty; and Ou Yangjian ??? of the Jin ? dynasty. The aim of this article is to consider their arguments in the context of contemporary epistemological knowledge. ?? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Get PDFThis study will attempt to clarify the functions of the pronoun ça in French both syntactically, as the direct object of the verb, and semantically, as expressing a speaker’s subjective attitude with regards a preceeding utterance, especially as a demonstration of denial or doubt. Further, this study will analyze the mechanisms of relationship of expression between the usage of ça and the speaker’s subjective attitude through a comparison of the functions of ça with the functions of le in a same linguistic environment. ?? ??????????????????????????????????????ça????????????????????????????ça?????????????????????????????????????????????????ça?????????????????????????????????????ça???????????????le?????????????????
