This book addresses the question: What can close discourse analysis
contribute to the understanding of language? To do so, it presents
a centering theory-based computational approach to discourse
analysis concerning Chinese bei passive sentences, disposal ba
constructions, ditransitive gei sentences, and locative fang
sentences. The book first discusses the use of discourse analysis
in the context of bei and ba constructions and then demonstrates
how discourse analysis can contribute to the syntactic and semantic
studies of these sentences. It also examines the various thematic
roles differentiated in these four special sentence patterns,
namely agent, recipient, theme/patient, and locative, and reveals
the various degrees of discourse accessibility of these thematic
roles. Exploring the correlation between centering theory and
Chinese discourse, the book is a valuable resource for anyone
interested in discourse analysis and Chinese special sentential
structures, especially the formal approaches to these issues.

The industrial attachment links classroom practicals with the
induction training which provides the student with the opportunity
to have an insight into the practical application of knowledge,
skills and safety consciousness in industry. The objective of
induction training is to adapt the student on industrial attachment
to the specialized equipments, machines and work methods of the
industry. The rapid developments in new technologies together with
the industrial restructuring of recent years have highlighted the
writing of this book. This book addresses some specific contents
which include: Effects of induction training on performance of
students on industrial attachment; Benefits of induction training
on the growth of industry; Challenges facing the induction training
programmes in industry; and Strategies that could be adopted to
overcome the challenges. In writing this book, the author had
special concern for students in training institutions pursuing
studies in the field of engineering. The book will also serve as a
text for the industry trainers and the training institutions
requiring induction training during specific stages of their
programmes.
This book analyses the impact of drought and famine in Kerio
Valley, Kenya, among the Keiyo community. In particular, it
assesses the impact of drought and famine on people and their
environment. The book explains how the Keiyo community
strategically copes with drought and famine using their indigenous
traditional knowledge. The main question this study addresses is:
How relevant are indigenous traditional strategies in averting food
insecurity in Kerio Valley and other parts of Kenya? Consequently,
the author observes that indigenous traditional drought and famine
coping strategies are still very relevant today in mitigating food
insecurity. This book is a must-read for all scholars in
Environmental Studies particularly those dealing with sustainable
food security.
