A Perceptual Dialect Study of Taiwan Mandarin: Language Attitudes in the Era of Political Battle1
Proceedings of the 20th North American Conference on Chinese Linguistics (NACCL-20). 2008. Volume 1. Edited by Marjorie K.M. Chan and Hana Kang. Columbus, Ohio: The Ohio State University. Pages 391-408. A Perceptual Dialect Study of Taiwan Mandarin: Language Attitudes in the Era of Political Battle1 Silvie Liao University of California, Davis Due to the political separation of Taiwan and China and the contact with native Taiwanese speakers since 1949, the standard Mandarin in Taiwan has differed from the standard Mandarin in China. Although the government has enforced its “Mandarin Only Policy”, strictly treating Mandarin as the only office language in Taiwan, Taiwan Mandarin has even become more diverse among speakers because of different degrees of contacts with regional dialects and also the conflicts between different ethnic and political groups. Located against this background, this paper has two foresights. First, drawing on Silverstein’s (1996) concept of indexicality, I will discuss how different phonological variants in Taiwan Mandarin can possibly produce indexical relationships between linguistic variants and social or political identity. Second, I will examine the people of Taiwan’s perceptions of two varieties of Taiwan Mandarin: Taibei qiang ‘Taipei accent’ and Taizhong qiang ‘Taichung accent’. One hundred and fifty-eight students were recruited to listen to four speakers from Taipei and Taichung and rate the voice on twelve traits using a six-point scale rate. Listeners were also asked to answer the region where the speaker is from in a forced-choice question with five choices. The study finds that salient dialect-specific properties are important cues for listeners to identify a speaker’s regional categorization. -
Computational Considerations of Historical Architectural Analysis – a Case Study of Chinese Traditional Architecture
Computational Considerations of Historical Architectural Analysis – A Case Study of Chinese Traditional Architecture Shang-chia Chiou Department of Architecture Carnegie Mellon University M.S., Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, U.S.A. M. Arch., Tunghai University, Taiwan, the Republic of China B. Arch., Tunghai University, Taiwan, the Republic of China Submitted to the Department of Architecture of Carnegie Mellon University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Dissertation Advisory Committee: Ramesh Krishnamurti, Ph.D. (Chair) Department of Architecture, CMU Ömer Akın, Ph.D. Department of Architecture, CMU Rudi Stouffs, Ph.D. Architecture and CAAD Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich Donald S. Sutton, Ph.D. Department of History, CMU copyright © 1996, Shang-chia Chiou Abstract This dissertation is about the fusion of key elements from computation and historical architecture. It builds upon ideas from shape grammars and employs the analytical methodology of historical analysis. This combination can help produce a different experience, through visual and ultimately interactive explorations, of historical architecture, particularly from those cultures where drawings were not the established mode of communicating designs. Grammatical analyses can be used to differentiate between various architectural styles; explore relationships between styles; and lend themselves to computational models. There are three parts to this dissertation. The first part is a case study of southern style Chinese vernacular architecture (the domain selected to demonstrate the claims of this dissertation) and deals with concepts from geomancy and its application to traditional architecture. The second part deals with the formal and computational considerations of historical architectural analysis. A shape grammar of vernacular dwellings is developed. -
Taoyuan Aerotropolis Infrastructure Project and Taoyuan International Airport Terminal 3 Project TAIWAN Advantages of Taoyuan
Taoyuan Aerotropolis Infrastructure Project and Taoyuan International Airport Terminal 3 Project TAIWAN The Taoyuan Aerotropolis Infrastructure Project, seen as a prime driver of Taiwan’s future economic development, is one of the biggest and most daring infrastructure projects ever conceived. It is designed to take full advantage of the island’s commercially strategic location with the Asia Pacific. The Aerotropolis will be a brand new city built on more than 4,000 hectares of land surrounding the Taoyuan International Airport. Dubbed the Gateway of Taiwan and to Asia, the Aerotropolis will serve as a logistics and trading hub to attract people, capital, goods and information. Advantages of Taoyuan The city Taoyuan is home of Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport and serve sas the national portal. Taiwan is ideally located in East Asia, being within four hours’ flight time to almost all major East Asian destinations such as Beijing, Shanghai, Singapore, Seoul and Tokyo. Taoyuan International Airport has seen steady growth in both inbound and transiting air passengers, and freight volumes as well. Arriving visitors will enjoy easy access to all cities with the High Speed Rail system and the new Airport Metro (MRT) linking Taipei Metropolitan area. Another advantage is that Taoyuan is home to nearly 30 industrial parks, and is in close proximity to Hsinchu’s vast high-tech manufacturing centers as well as New Taipei City’s industrial might. Combined with the nearby Port of Taipei, the Aerotropolis will be ideally located as a hub for logistics, transshipment, and time-sensitive manufacturing in the adjacent industrial parks. It is also one of the designated Free Economic Pilot Zones (FEPZ), allowing it to enjoy liberalized trade, immigration, and tax regulations to encourage investment and stimulate trade.
