When Mao and the Chinese Communist Party won power in 1949, they were determined to create new, revolutionary human beings. Their most precise instrument of ideological transformation was a massive program of linguistic engineering. They taught everyone a new political vocabulary, gave old words new meanings, converted traditional terms to revolutionary purposes, suppressed words that expressed "incorrect" thought, and required the whole population to recite slogans, stock phrases, and scripts that gave "correct" linguistic form to "correct" thought. They assumed that constant repetition would cause the revolutionary formulae to penetrate people's minds, engendering revolutionary beliefs and values. In an introductory chapter, Dr. Ji assesses the potential of linguistic engineering by examining research on the relationship between language and thought. In subsequent chapters, she traces the origins of linguistic engineering in China, describes its development during the early years of communist rule, then explores in detail the unprecedented manipulation of language during the Cultural Revolution of 1966–1976. Along the way, she analyzes the forms of linguistic engineering associated with land reform, class struggle, personal relationships, the Great Leap Forward, Mao-worship, Red Guard activism, revolutionary violence, Public Criticism Meetings, the model revolutionary operas, and foreign language teaching. She also reinterprets Mao’s strategy during the early stages of the Cultural Revolution, showing how he manipulated exegetical principles and contexts of judgment to "frame" his alleged opponents. The work concludes with an assessment of the successes and failures of linguistic engineering and an account of how the Chinese Communist Party relaxed its control of language after Mao's death.

At a time when information technology has become a regular tool of specialised translators in all aspects of their work, it is useful to place the activity of technical translation into its appropriate environment and to describe it from the point of view of its role in the broader context of communication in which it occurs. The advent of automated alternatives to human translation has fundamentally affected the profession, its products and the relationship between translators and their clients.This book presents and discusses the process of translation against this background. The context in which translation is normally studied is widened in order to re-examine the process of translation as part of interlingual text production and to analyse the manner in which the new tools affect the product of translation.This book is of particular relevance in modern translator training courses. Contents 1. The language industry and translation, 2. Aspects of language, 3. Elements of communication theory, 4. A theory of text types and messages, 5. The nature of translation, 6. Specifications: Factors influencing the translation, 7. Preparation for translation, 8. Steps in translation, 9. Human and Machine Translation, 10 Pragmatic circumstances of automation, 11. Translation in an information technology environment. Bibliography + Index.

The definitive guide to Domain Specific Languages (DSLs): the newest breakthrough in software engineering productivity and quality. The first comprehensive, tool-independent guide to DSL design. Clearly explains all the complex concepts that DSL creators and users need to understand: syntax, semantics, and much more. For DSL developers in all environments, from advanced software engineering to vertical markets. By a leading expert who has created DSLs as a participant in both UML and OCL design. More and more software engineers are turning to Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) to solve specific types of problems, or to enhance software productivity and quality. This complete guide to DSL design will be invaluable to professionals interested in advanced techniques ranging from model-driven development to software factories - many of whom have no previous experience in creating new languages. Completely tool-independent, this book can serve as a primary resource for readers using Microsoft DSL tools, the Eclipse Modeling Framework, Open Architecture Ware, or any other toolset. Experienced DSL creator and researcher Anneke Kleppe introduces and explains every ingredient of an effective language specification, including its description of concepts, its description of how those concepts are denoted, and its description of the concepts' meaning and relationship to the specific domain. Kleppe carefully illuminates good design strategy, showing how to achieve maximum flexibility. Readers will also learn how to create new languages that cooperate well with other languages, and contain references to elements written in those languages. The book contains multiple examples, as well as a running case study, handy summaries, and references, as well as a glossary and abbreviation list. Sidebars, figures, and cartoons present insights and background knowledge designed to help software engineers create successful DSLs as rapidly as possible.

Herman Cappelen investigates how language and other representational devices can go wrong, and how to fix them. We use language to understand and talk about the world, but what if our language has deficiencies that prevent it from playing that role? How can we revise our concepts, and what are the limits on revision?

Linguistic Geometry: From Search to Construction is the first book of its kind. Linguistic Geometry (LG) is an approach to the construction of mathematical models for large-scale multi-agent systems. A number of such systems, including air/space combat, robotic manufacturing, software re-engineering and Internet cyberwar, can be modeled as abstract board games. These are games with moves that can be represented by the movement of abstract pieces over locations on an abstract board. The purpose of LG is to provide strategies to guide the games' participants to their goals. Traditionally, discovering such strategies required searches in giant game trees. These searches are often beyond the capacity of modern and even conceivable future computers. LG dramatically reduces the size of the search trees, making the problems computationally tractable. LG provides a formalization and abstraction of search heuristics used by advanced experts including chess grandmasters. Essentially, these heuristics replace search with the construction of strategies. To formalize the heuristics, LG employs the theory of formal languages (i.e. formal linguistics), as well as certain geometric structures over an abstract board. The new formal strategies solve problems from different domains far beyond the areas envisioned by the experts. For a number of these domains, Linguistic Geometry yields optimal solutions.

China's Thought Management argues that by re-emphasizing and modernizing propaganda and thought work since 1989, the CCP has managed to overcome a succession of local and national level crises - the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, the impact of the collapse Socialism in the Eastern bloc, SARS, ethnic clashes in Tibet and Xinjiang, to name but a few - emerging re-strengthened and as dominant in Chinese society as ever. The contributors to this book address such crucial issues as the new emphasis on economic propaganda, the continued importance of the PLA propaganda system in China’s overall propaganda work and political stability, how the CCP uses "Confu-talk" in its foreign and domestic propaganda, and new approaches to mass persuasion such as "campaigns of mass distraction". Each chapter is a case study of the multiple ways in which the CCP has modified and adjusted its propaganda to reflect China’s changed economic and political environment. Challenging readers to reconceptualise mainstream understandings of the CCP’s hold on power and the means the CCP government adopts to maintain its authority to rule, this book will be invaluable reading for anyone interested in the Chinese media and Chinese politics.

In our increasingly interconnected world, low-resource languages face the threat of oblivion. These linguistic gems, often spoken by marginalized communities, are at risk of fading away due to limited data and resources. The neglect of these languages not only erodes cultural diversity but also hinders effective communication, education, and social inclusion. Academics, practitioners, and policymakers grapple with the urgent need for a comprehensive solution to preserve and empower these vulnerable languages. Empowering Low-Resource Languages With NLP Solutions is a pioneering book that stands as the definitive answer to the pressing problem at hand. It tackles head-on the challenges that low-resource languages face in the realm of Natural Language Processing (NLP). Through real-world case studies, expert insights, and a comprehensive array of topics, this book equips its readers—academics, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers—with the tools, strategies, and ethical considerations needed to address the crisis facing low-resource languages.
