This book is an introduction to Word Grammar, a theory of language
structure founded and developed by Dick Hudson. In this theory,
language is a cognitive network - a network of concepts, words and
meanings containing all the elements of a linguistic analysis. The
theory of language is therefore embedded in a theory of knowledge,
in which there are no boundaries between one form of knowledge and
any other. Contributors to this volume are primarily Word Grammar
grammarians from across the world. All the chapters here manifest
theoretical potentialities of Word Grammar, exploring how powerful
Word Grammar is to offer analysis for linguistic phenomena in
various languages. The chapters come from varying perspectives and
include work on a number of languages, including English, German,
Japanese, Swahili, Turkish and Ancient Greek. Phenomena studied
include verbal inflection, case agreement, extraction, construction
and code-mixing. This new collection will be of interest to
academics encountering Word Grammar for the first time, or for
those who are already familiar with this theory and are interested
in reading how it has evolved and what its future may hold.
Thirteen-year-old Anna was raised in a noble household, yet she
looks nothing like the rest of her family and lacks her lineage’s
aptitude for magic. What she doesn’t realize, however, is that a
mischievous fairy switched her with another baby at birth! When
this detail comes to light, Anna’s family kicks her out and ends
her longstanding engagement to Edmund, a young nobleman. How will
Anna learn to adapt to life as a commoner with her new
family?Â
This book combines a theoretical study of Japan's economic structures and multinational enterprises with an analysis of the contemporary multinational enterprise. Kensy assesses the value of the post-modern approach to understanding the New Economy, as well as Japanese society and culture. He analyses Japan's economic structure, interpreting its methods, strategies, and results in a postmodern context and surveys socio-economic development in Japan since the beginning of Westernization. He examines Japanese models for the transformation of society in the future, with particular reference to the Keiretzu.
When we see a jumbo jet at the airport, we sometimes wonder how
such a huge, heavy plane can fly high in the sky. To the extent
that we think in a static way, it is certainly not understandable.
In such a manner, dynamics yields behavior quite different from
statics. When we want to prepare an iron nitride, for example, one
of the most orthodox ways is to put iron in a nitrogen atmosphere
under pressures higher than the dissociation pressure of the iron
nitride at temperatures sufficiently high to let the nitrogen
penetrate into the bulk iron. This is the way thermodynamics tells
us to proceed, which requires an elaborate, expensive high-pressure
apparatus, sophisticated techniques, and great efforts. However, if
we flow ammonia over the iron, even under low pressures, we can
easily prepare the nitride-provided the hydrogen pressure is
sufficiently low. Since the nitrogen desorption rate is the
determining step of the ammonia decomposition on the iron surface,
the virtual pressure of nitrogen at the surface can reach an
extremely high level (as is generally accepted) because, in such a
dynamic system, the driving force of the ammonia decomposition
reaction pushes the nitrogen into the bulk iron to form the
nitride. Thus, dynamics is an approach considerably different from
statics.

Many of the concepts, values and basic assumptions on which
'modern' economic and business theory is based do not translate
into or convey the same meaning in non-European languages or
non-Western cultures as they do in Western societies. This results
in a mismatch between what Many of the concepts, values and basic
assumptions on which 'modern' economic and business theory is based
do not translate into or convey the same meaning in non-European
languages or non-Western cultures as they do in Western societies.
This results in a mismatch between what have now become global
economic values and 'local' cultural ones. Kensei Hiwaki considers
a new paradigm - that a sound culture is needed to underpin
development, employment and trade, and an optimal development path.
This concept is discussed against the background of the author's
contention that his own Japanese society has succumbed to
unsustainable modern tendencies leading to the antithesis of
sustainable development and placing the society and economy in a
'credibility trap' into which it is predicted other countries, like
China, might also fall. Professor Hiwaki presents a detailed
theoretical framework for balanced socioeconomic development
relevant to sustainable development of the global community,
explaining the pivotal concepts on which it is based, as well as
the institutional and practical implications of adopting the
paradigm, including new approaches to taxation, employment, trade,
multi-media communications, and global governance. Culture and
Economics in the Global Community is a challenging but ultimately
hopeful book that introduces new perspectives for leaders in the
political arena, in business, in development agencies, and to
researchers and others with a professional or academic interest in
economics, trade, governance and environmental issues, social
policy or cultural anthropology.

This book combines a theoretical study of Japan's economic
structures and multinational enterprises with a post-modern
analysis of the contemporary multinational enterprise. The author
considers the appropriateness of the post-modern approach for
discussing economic activities, in particular the New Economy, and
also Japanese society and culture. Kensy analyses Japan's economic
structure, interpreting its methods, strategies and results in a
post-modern context and presents a survey of socio-economic
development in Japan since the beginning of westernization. He goes
on to discuss Japanese models for the transformation of society in
the future, with particular reference to the Keiretzu. Finding
Japan to be a truly postmodern society, Kensy shows that Japan is
prepared to be a leader in the New Economy. Kensy takes an
innovative and stimulating approach that will be of interest to
those seeking to better understand the development and future of
the economic structures of Japan.
