    Toward a Motivation Model of Pragmatics/ Rong Chen.

    No full text
    In English.With the "discursive turn" has come a distrust - a complete rejection by some - of theories that seek deeper reasons for surface phenomena. Rong Chen argues that this distrust, with its accompanying overemphasis on specificity and fluidity of linguistic meaning and social values, is unwarranted and unhelpful. Drawing on insights from social theories and various strands of pragmatics, he proposes a motivation model of pragmatics (MMP), contending that language use can be adequately, coherently, and elegantly studied via the motivation behind it in its varied and dynamic contexts. The model, with its well-laid out components, is then applied to (im)politeness research, cross-cultural pragmatics, diachronic pragmatics, discourse and genre analysis, conversation analysis, identity construction, and the study of metaphor, sarcasm, parody, and lying. MMP is thus a framework aimed at accounting for fluidity with stable notions, specificity with general principles, and differences with similar underlying factors. As such, the book should appeal to students of pragmatics, (im)politeness, conversation analysis, sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, communication, sociology, and psychology.Frontmatter -- Foreword -- Contents -- List of figures -- List of tables -- Chapter 1 Pragmatics then and now -- Chapter 2 A motivation model of pragmatics (MMP) -- Chapter 3 MMP and (im)politeness -- Chapter 4 MMP and cross-/intercultural variation -- Chapter 5 MMP and diachronic pragmatics -- Chapter 6 MMP and discourse -- Chapter 7 MMP and metaphor -- Chapter 8 MMP and the non-literal -- Afterword -- References -- Appendix -- Subject index -- Author index1 online resource (XIII, 333 p.)

    Three design aspects of multicarrier interleave division multiple access

    This paper presents a novel generalized transceiver architecture, i.e., Multicarrier Interleave-Division-Multiplexing-aided Interleave Division Multiple Access (MC-IDM-IDMA). A parallel interference cancellation (PIC)-aided iterative multiuser detection (MUD) algorithm is introduced, and the convergence behavior of the system is evaluated with the aid of EXtrinsic Information Transfer (EXIT) charts under the assumption of an equal-power multiuser scenario. Three interesting design tradeoffs of the MC-IDM-IDMA system are analyzed: 1) the multiplexing versus diversity tradeoffs; 2) the coding versus spreading tradeoffs, where the achievable bandwidth efficiency of both MC-IDM and MC-IDMA are characterized, and a general design rule is provided for low-rate codes; and 3) the complexity versus performance tradeoffs and the EXIT characteristics of two different MUD algorithms are investigated, leading to a reduced-complexity hybrid MU

    Jiang Rong, Le Totem du loup, (Wolf Totem) translated by Yan Hansheng and Lisa Carducci

    Published in China in 2004 by Changjiang wenyi chubanshe, Jiang Rong’s novel Lang tuteng (Wolf Totem) was immediately a phenomenal success. I myself witnessed this success while in China, where bookshops displayed multiple stacks of the book. Its author, Jiang Rong, the pseudonym of Lu Jiamin, was an activist in the Tiananmen Square movement in 1989; now a researcher in social sciences and the husband of Zhang Kangkang, a well-known writer, Jiang Rong maintained a mystery surrounding his iden..

    An odontometric biodistance analysis of the Rong and the A'chik

    Thesis (M.A.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2023Little is known about the population history and genetic affinities of many of the tribal groups of northeastern India, including the Rong and the A'chik. Previous linguistic and genetic studies have suggested that these non-Hindu tribal groups may be descendants of East Asian immigrants. Due to the linguistic and genetic research, cultural differences between the groups, and geographic barriers it was hypothesized that members of these two tribal groups share a population history different from that of ethnic groups of other regions of the subcontinent. This study employs tooth size allocation analysis to test hypotheses concerning the origins of the Rong and the A'chik as well as the nature and extent of odontometric variation found among members of both tribes. The author took measurements of the mesiodistal and buccolingual dimensions of the permanent teeth among 166 A'chik and 185 Rong individuals. The author compared the aforementioned data with measurements obtained among 1,151 members of seven ethnic groups from other regions of South Asia. Group centroids from canonical variates analysis were plotted in three dimensions to assess patterns of similarities among samples. Canonical variates, from both sex-pooled and non-pooled analyses, identify the Rong and A'chik as possessing closer affinities to each other than to members of the other groups, thereby supporting the hypothesis of separate population origins from members of other South Asian ethnic groups. Overall, the results suggest the Rong and A'chik have a different geographic origin than, and little admixture with, the other population groups from elsewhere on the subcontinent.UAF Graduate School, the UAF College of Liberal Arts, and the Alaska NSF EPSCoRChapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: Rationale -- 2.1 Genetic background -- 2.1.1 Genetic variation -- 2.1.2 Heritability -- 2.1.3 Gene flow -- 2.1.4 Genetic drift -- 2.1.5 Mutation -- 2.1.6 Natural selection -- 2.2 Dental anthropology -- 2.2.1 Dental development -- 2.2.2 Field theory and clone model -- 2.2.3 Mouse models -- 2.2.4 Dental genetic variance -- 2.2.5 Fluctuating asymmetry -- 2.2.6 Sexual dimorphism -- 2.3 Biodistance analysis -- 2.3.1 A history and overview of statistical approaches (dentition) -- 2.3.2 Tooth size apportionment.

    Chen Rong and the Transformation of Nine Dragons

    Get PDF
    abstract: This dissertation is the first detailed and extensive study dedicated to the life and art of the master artist and scholar-official Chen Rong (active 13th century), and offers an expanded analysis of his most famous work, the Nine Dragons scroll (1244). It provides a reconstruction of Chen Rong's biography, character and political career, and discusses his significance and impact in the study of Chinese painting during the late Southern Song dynasty (1127-1279) and beyond, by highlighting the reception and interpretation of the Nine Dragons scroll in the past and in modern times. This is achieved by addressing writings such as eulogies, poems and commentary about Chen Rong by his contemporaries and later biographers, and also analysis of recent works by contemporary Chinese artists that reinterpret Chen Rong's Nine Dragons motif directly. In addition to offering an expanded reading and interpretation of Chen Rong's inscriptions on the Nine Dragons scroll and inscriptions by subsequent viewers of the scroll, this study sheds light on the artistic context, significance, and historical development of dragons and dragon painting in China. This dissertation also offers the first full English transcription and translation of Emperor Qianlong's inscription on the Nine Dragons scroll, and that of his eight officials. Furthermore, this dissertation includes two detailed appendices; one is a detailed appendix of all of Chen Rong's paintings documented to exist today, and the second is a list of paintings attributed to Chen Rong that have been mentioned in historical documents that no longer appear extant. This interdisciplinary study provides insight into the processes that influence how an artist's work is transformed beyond his time to that of legendary status. This clarification of Chen Rong's biography and artistic activity, particularly with respect to his most famous work the Nine Dragons scroll, contributes to modern scholarship by providing an expanded understanding of Chen Rong's life and art, which in turn, adjusts prevailing perceptions of his life and work.Dissertation/ThesisPh.D. Art History 201
