"the copy precedes the original." Compare the Japanese data to the data presented by Agha, Moore, and/or Kiesling. In this essay I will be discussing Inuoe’s concept of a “copy preceding the original” in terms of her research on Japanese women’s language and then comparing it to the works written by Agha (2003), Moore (2007; 2011) and Kiesling (2004). Agha (2003) concerns himself on the subject of accent and standardised English within Britain, while Moore (2007 & 2011) looks at accent within

There are also language barriers that prevent websites from being useful. Websites are created in every country, in every language, in every dialect of language. The content needs to be translated for the information to be universal. There are many tools and websites that translate information to be understandable to every internet user

案例6-2 偏执者生存—英特尔战略分析案例 一、英特尔公司简介 《时代》周刊1997年12月撰文称：“正如当年的蒸汽机、电力和装配线一样，微芯片已经成为推进新经济的先驱……英特尔公司则是数字时代的核心企业。”如果说在电脑的广泛普及和运用的信息时代中，什么公司对世界的巨变做出了杰出贡献的话，英特尔毫无疑问是其中一员。这家成立仅40年的企业，作为一家高科技企业，长期以来占据着芯片行业老大的地位。它与另外一个IT巨头——微软公司所构建的“WINTEL联盟”，凭借二者领先的产品技术和市场力量，持续统治世界IT行业长达二十年之久。 在1968 年，由罗伯特·诺伊斯 （Robert Noyce） 、戈登·摩尔 （Gordon Moore）、安迪·格鲁夫 （Andy Grove） 共同创立的英特尔公司在硅谷奠基，在20世纪70年代初，就开发出了世界上第一块用于个人电脑的4004型微处理器。最初的英特尔是以生产电脑存储器为主，后由于日本半导体企业的冲击，而被迫转以芯片生产。1995年，其芯片的销量占全球总销售额的79％。世界上大约有90％的计算机在使用其生产的80X86CPU及兼容芯片。1995年，英特尔公司的营业额达到138亿美元，继1992年超过日本

Generally, what we said above with respect to the original narratives can be at work in the translated narratives too, with a much more emphasis on the target language and cultural system. The point is that if the original narratives, as we discussed above, can be ontological, interpersonal, communicative, social, fictional and ideological acts, so should be the translated narrative texts. And, if there happen some frequent changes in POV and FID, there may appear some changes in the ontological

The chip was a Field Programmable Analog Array (FPAA).The main aim of this framework was noise suppression in the speech signal to enhance speech quality. Computational problems occur in speech and language processing also. The best way to solve them is by using algorithms that optimise the values under consideration [7]. Features of speech have been matched between the source speaker and the target speaker using deep recurrent neural network [8]. This

IKEA全球供應面的挑戰：印度地毯與童工問題(A) 1995年5月，瑪莉安.巴娜(Marianne Barner)正面臨一項困難的決策。她加入IKEA這家全球最大的傢俱零售商已屆滿兩年，且她擔任地毯業務區域經理亦已屆滿兩個月，此時，她思考著是否應該與一家主要的印度地毯供應商終止往來關係，雖然此舉可能會影響公司的貨源供應，並衝擊銷售業績，但是她也發覺支持這個決定的理由頗為明確。因為一家德國電視公司最近揭露一項調查報告，顯示該供應商僱用童工來生產地毯，並供貨給IKEA公司。讓巴娜感到挫折的是，這家形象良好的大型供應商，與IKEA其他供應商一樣，在最近與公司簽署的一項供應合約附加條款中，明訂禁止雇用童工，否則該合約將遭到取消。 然而，巴娜瞭解，比眼前更為棘手的問題是，IKEA應該對此問題採取何種長期策略。一方面，由於業界對於印度地毯業剝削童工的現象頗為關切，迫使她必須簽訂此條款來回應此訴求。而最近由製造業者、進口商、零售業者、及印度民間組織所成立的聯盟，提出一項「地毯標籤」的新措施，在那些經查證並無使用童工生產的地毯，貼上認證標籤以示區別。巴娜也已經與瑞典拯救兒童組織進行協調，該

This decides the child's attitude to education throughout life and its capacity to learn. Children start to learn early in life and though it may not be realized that even during the first few months of life the child begins experimenting with language.

Is Technology Killing Language of Young People Brian Anderson Language is not dying due to technology, it is expanding and evolving as technology advances.
