  • Pragmatic Analysis of English Fuzzy Language in International Business Negotiation Ling-Ling ZUO and Ying HE Ningbo Dahongying University, Ningbo, China
    2016 International Conference on Education, Training and Management Innovation (ETMI 2016) ISBN: 978-1-60595-395-3 Pragmatic Analysis of English Fuzzy Language in International Business Negotiation Ling-ling ZUO and Ying HE Ningbo Dahongying University, Ningbo, China Keywords: International business negotiation, Fuzzy language, Pragmatic analysis. Abstract. This thesis aims to lead negotiators to pay more attention to use fuzzy language and put forward three strategies for negotiators to use fuzzy language in business negotiation following the cooperative principle and politeness principle. The thesis proves its importance in business negotiation by theoretical analysis and showing a series of examples. The author provides some strategies for negotiators and guides them to negotiate in international business negotiation well such as ambiguity, euphemism and so on. Sometimes, negotiators have to violate the maxims to gain a better result. The appropriate appliance of fuzzy language can relive the tension in business negotiation, being accurate and flexible, and improving the efficiency. The innovation of this paper is from the practical application of fuzzy language to better negotiation. Introduction Nowadays, with the development of economy, the communication between countries becomes closer and closer. The foreign trades are becoming more and more frequent. In order to integrate into the globalization quickly, people must pay attention to international business negotiation in the foreign trade. Business negotiation is a basic form of communication, which plays an important role in the foreign trade. Business negotiation requires negotiators not only know the rules, laws and foreign trade business very well, but also have negotiation skills. However, in real business negotiations, accurate and clear information may put one party in a worse situation.

  • Social Mobility in China, 1645-2012: a Surname Study Yu (Max) Hao and Gregory Clark, University of California, Davis [email protected], [email protected] 11/6/2012
    Social Mobility in China, 1645-2012: A Surname Study Yu (Max) Hao and Gregory Clark, University of California, Davis [email protected], [email protected] 11/6/2012 The dragon begets dragon, the phoenix begets phoenix, and the son of the rat digs holes in the ground (traditional saying). This paper estimates the rate of intergenerational social mobility in Late Imperial, Republican and Communist China by examining the changing social status of originally elite surnames over time. It finds much lower rates of mobility in all eras than previous studies have suggested, though there is some increase in mobility in the Republican and Communist eras. But even in the Communist era social mobility rates are much lower than are conventionally estimated for China, Scandinavia, the UK or USA. These findings are consistent with the hypotheses of Campbell and Lee (2011) of the importance of kin networks in the intergenerational transmission of status. But we argue more likely it reflects mainly a systematic tendency of standard mobility studies to overestimate rates of social mobility. This paper estimates intergenerational social mobility rates in China across three eras: the Late Imperial Era, 1644-1911, the Republican Era, 1912-49 and the Communist Era, 1949-2012. Was the economic stagnation of the late Qing era associated with low intergenerational mobility rates? Did the short lived Republic achieve greater social mobility after the demise of the centuries long Imperial exam system, and the creation of modern Westernized education? The exam system was abolished in 1905, just before the advent of the Republic. Exam titles brought high status, but taking the traditional exams required huge investment in a form of “human capital” that was unsuitable to modern growth (Yuchtman 2010).

The names also reflect the beliefs and religion of Singapore Chinese. More significantly, a change of identity and representation is reflected in the names of earlier settlers and Singapore Chinese today. This paper aims to show the general naming traditions of Chinese in Singapore as well as a change in ideology and trends due to globalization. Keywords Singapore, Chinese, names, identity, beliefs, globalization. 1. Introduction When parents choose a name for a child, the name necessarily reflects their thoughts and aspirations with regards to the child. These thoughts and aspirations are shaped by the historical, social, cultural or spiritual setting of the time and place they are living in whether or not they are aware of them. Thus, the study of names is an important window through which one could view how these parents prefer their children to be perceived by society at large, according to the identities, roles, values, hierarchies or expectations constructed within a social space. Goodenough explains this culturally driven context of names and naming practices: Department of Chinese Studies, National University of Singapore The Shaw Foundation Building, Block AS7, Level 5 5 Arts Link, Singapore 117570 e-mail: [email protected] 102 Lee Cher Leng Ethnography of Singapore Chinese Names: Race, Religion, and Representation Different naming and address customs necessarily select different things about the self for communication and consequent emphasis.

It was validated with the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS). Results show that the proportion who self-reported as Chinese has high agreement with the proportion identified by the surname list in the CCHS. The surname list was applied to the Alberta Health Insurance Plan registry database to define the Chinese ethnic population, and to the Vital Statistics Death Registry to assess the Chinese ethnic population mortality in Alberta.
