The functional perspective on Chinese syntax has yielded various
new achievements since its introduction to Chinese linguistics in
the 1980s. This two-volume book is one of the earliest and most
influential works to study the Chinese language using functional
grammar. With local Beijing vernacular (Pekingese) as a basis, the
information structure and focus structure of the Chinese language
are systematically examined. By using written works and recordings
from Beijingers, the authors discuss topics such as the
relationship between word order and focus, and the distinction
between normal focus and contrastive focus. In addition, the
authors also subject the reference and grammatical categories of
the Chinese language to a functional scrutiny while discussion of
word classes and their functions creatively combines modern
linguistic theories and traditional Chinese linguistic theories.
This book will be of interest to students and scholars of Chinese
linguistics and linguistics in general.

This book is a pioneering analysis of the deliberative systems
approach in Taiwan, extending an understanding of Taiwanese
democratic politics and consolidating links between theoretical
development and a practical application of deliberative practices.
As a front-runner of new democracies in Asia and a relatively open
society, Taiwan provides a model for deliberative governance, with
a view towards institutional innovation and increasing
democratisation. This book considers how components within the
intricate web of micro- and macro- deliberative systems perform
different functions, complement each other, and contribute both to
policy change and democratic innovation. Specific cases are
provided - such as participatory budgeting in Taipei City and the
government-academia alliance model - to demonstrate the long-term
systemic effects of mini-publics and citizen actions. In addition,
the book proposes the possibility of deliberative democracy for
other countries in the world, alongside various policy issues,
including mini-publics, e-participation, co-governance, citizen
science, negotiation mechanisms, and the deliberative practices of
indigenous peoples. Deliberative Democracy in Taiwan will appeal to
students and scholars of East Asian studies, Taiwanese politics,
political science and social movement studies.

This essay offers a thorough analysis of Augusta Read Thomas's
second violin concerto, Carillon Sky (2005). The work is compared
with her solo violin work Caprice, written at the same time, as
well as the similar Berio's work Sequenza VI and Chemins II. The
analysis is divided into two sections: form and structure, and
harmony and motive, focusing on a series of recurring chords and
gestures. The essay concludes with a discussion of interpretative
and performance issues, and a discussion of the work's optional
cadenza. I hope that any performer interested in Thomas's
compositions can use this essay as a starting point into her
musical world.
