No full textIn this collection of passionately argued essays, the internationally acclaimed poet and critic Wai-lim Yip calls Western scholarship to account for its treacherous representation of non-Western literature. Yip moves from Plato to Hans-Georg Gadamer, from Chuang-tzu to Mao Tse-tung, from John Donne to Robert Creeley, as he attempts to create a double consciousness that includes the state of mind of the original author and the expressive potentials of the target language. He aims, first, to expose the types of distortions that have occurred in the process of translation from one language to another and, second, to propose guidelines that will prevent this kind of linguistic violence in the future
Chi-Square and F Approximations of Hetelling's Generalized T0^2
No full textTitle: Chi-Square and F Approximations of Hetelling's Generalized T0^2, Author: Davin Y.N. Yip. Location: ThodeChi-square approximation of Retelling's generalized T0^2 have
been investigated by Professor Tiku. In this project, further results
on the approximation are presented and examined. Also, an F approximation
for the distribution of Retelling's generalized T0^2 is proposed. The
results are compared with other approximations and discussed.ThesisMaster of Science (MSc

Lexicon Optimization in Languages without Alternations
No full textLanguages with few or no alternations have never fitted smoothly into rule-based theories with a commitment to lexical economy. To derive rich surface inventories from more parsimonious underlying inventories, it was necessary to postulate abstract underlying forms even for morphemes which only ever surfaced with one particular allophone. Even if lexical economy was demoted as a paramount consideration, the occurrence of alternations in one small corner of the grammar, such as in loanwords, still forced the linguist back to the abstract and rule-based analysis. This was so because the alternative, a set of phonotactic statements about the surface distribution of allophones, could not alone produce alternations: only rules could do that, and once the grammar included rules, they could be made use of for other purposes, including the non-alternating forms. Output-based theories are tailor-made for language of this type. Surface-true generalizations can be trivially dealt with. When alternations are encountered, they can be understood as the direct result of the pressure to observe these surface constraints, and no special rules are needed.
Using data from vowel systems in several Chinese dialects, Mandarin palatal consonants, and Chaoyang nasalization, it is argued that abstract underlying representations and rules that produce surface forms are highly inefficient for non-alternating systems, in that they frequently require both rules that derive A from B, and rules that derive B from A, in the same contexts. It is proposed that language is learnt on the basis of core data, and that non-core data - language games, poetry, speech errors, onomatopoeia, loanwords - can be used as a probe to investigate the nature of the underlying representations. This paper finds inconclusive evidence for abstract underlying representations, and concludes that the balance of the evidence suggests that learners acquire something rather close to what they hear, unless information from alternations or paradigms forces them to do otherwise. These findings provide support for Lexicon Optimization (Prince and Smolensky 1993).The definitive version of this paper was published in Current Trends in Phonology: Models and Methods (1996)Yip, M.

A Comparison of Two Methods of Analyzing a Set of Multidimensional Data
No full textTitle: A Comparison of Two Methods of Analyzing a Set of Multidimensional Data, Author: Shiu-Chin Yip, Location: ThodeIn multivariate analysis problems, one often encounters the
analysis of categorical data. Some authors prefer the analogy of such
analyses with those used for quantitative data, analysis of variance
and regression analysis. In most recent multivariate literature, most
authors agree the use of multidimensional contingency table method.
The purpose of this project is to compare the results obtained in
analyzing part of the data in a psoriasis-liver-methotrexate
interaction study using analysis of variance method and a method which is
more appropriate for categorical data.ThesisMaster of Science (MS

E-E-E-YAH-YIP Go Over with the U.S. Marines
No full text“E-E-E-YAH-YIP Go Over with the U.S. Marines” was a typical WWI recruiting poster distributed by the U.S. government to rally men to sign up and fight in Europe. The poster depicts a Marine holding up his rifle and yelling E-E-E-YAH-YIP, the battle cry of the Marines. The U.S. Marines at the time were not as prominent as they are in the 21st Century and therefore were the smallest branch of the U.S. military. This meant that the Marines had to recruit heavily and most of their forces were new and unknowledgeable. They became recognized in 1918, during the battle of Belleau Woods, where they earned the nickname “Teufelhunden” or devil dogs. This poster was created in 1917 by Charles Buckles Falls, or C.B. Falls, a popular American illustrator and author. Falls painted many recruitment posters for all branches of the military. According to the University of Southern Maine, Falls is quoted as once saying, “A poster should be to the eye as a shout is to the ear.” This meant that the poster should grab the attention of the targeted audience through bright colors and by using short and catchy phrases This poster was created and reproduced as a lithographic print at the time of its distribution.https://knowledge.e.southern.edu/wwiposters/1071/thumbnail.jp
Impacts of Ageing Population on Monetary and Exchange Rate Managements in Singapore
No full textThis paper finds that the ageing of the population in Singapore will cause a reversal of the current net Central Provident Fund (CPF) contribution into a substantial net CPF withdrawal from 2025, with a peak occurring at 2035. The result is qualitatively robust to changes in the underlying assumptions of the projection. The paper then highlights the implications of this change on the exchange rate and monetary managements in Singapore. First, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS)’s ability to influence Singapore’s exchange rate will be greatly hampered. Second, the net CPF withdrawal will mean sustained liquidity injection into (instead of the usual liquidity drain from) the economy. To avoid unnecessary inflation, the MAS has to find a sustainable way to mob up the excess liquidity due to the sustained liquidity injection. As a simple reversal of MAS’s current foreign exchange market operation will result in substantial shrinkage of foreign reserves, the paper proposes the issuance of government bonds to achieve the dual objectives of mobbing up the excess liquidity and avoiding the shrinkage of foreign reserves. This measure will also help the bond market development in Singapore. Finally, the paper proposes two other measures that can help maintain MAS’s influence on Singapore’s exchange rate to a reasonable level in the longer future.Ageing Population, Central Provident Fund, Exchange Rate System, Monetary Policy, Singapore.
