NOMURA Report 2012 Nomura Holdings, Inc. NOMURA Report 2012 NOMURA Report 2012 The NOMURA Report represents an integrated version of our annual and citizenship reports to help foster broader understanding of our business activities. Our Founder’s Principles have been an integral part of Nomura’s culture for over 80 years. Everything we do is focused on our clients, an approach that reflects our founder’s philosophy of prospering with our clients. With greater economic globalization taking place and following the financial crisis, the importance of companies engaging in corporate social responsibility (CSR) as well as environment, society and governance (ESG) activities has become clear and the expectation for the business increased. In the midst of this, we recognize the value of responding to a changing society while in turn meeting our clients’ needs. As a result of this perspective, and beginning with the fiscal year under review, we have decided to publish the NOMURA Report, which represents an integrated version of our annual and citizenship reports detailing our CSR initiatives. In this manner, we will more actively disclose information to our stakeholders. Through this report, we hope that readers can gain a broader understanding of our efforts as Asia’s global investment bank to help society develop sustainably, and about our business activities that grow together with our stakeholders. 1 NOMURA Report 2012 Contents Nomura Group Highlights 03 Global Network 05 Message from the Group CEO 07 Message from the Group COO 10 Chapter I Business for Sustainability Stakeholder Dialog: Creating a New Business Model to Drive Regional Revitalization 12 At a Glance 15 Retail 17 Asset Management 21 Wholesale 25 Global Research 31 Message from CFO 33 Chapter II Responsible Business Corporate Governance 36 CSR Management 39 Risk Management 41 Compliance 43 Restoring Trust and Credibility 45 Chapter III Citizenship Stakeholder Dialog: Responding to the Voice of Society 48 Our Community 51 Our People 55 Our Environment 59 Data Section Five-Year Financial Summary 63 Key Facts related to CSR 65 Independent Assurance on Environmental Reporting/External Assessment related to CSR 69 Board of Directors/Executive Management Structure 70 Nomura Securities Domestic Network 72 Corporate Data 73 Website Information 74 Report Period April 1, 2011 to March 31, 2012 Forward-Looking Statements (although some content may be outside this timeframe) This report contains forward-looking statements about the future Previous Report September 2011 plans, strategies, beliefs, and performance of the Nomura Group.

    85 Improvements in the Sociolinguistic

    Dialectologia 8 (2012), 85-132. ISSN: 2013-2247 Received 24 September 2011. Accepted 2 November 2011. IMPROVEMENTS IN THE SOCIOLINGUISTIC STATUS OF DIALECTS AS OBSERVED THROUGH LINGUISTIC LANDSCAPES — UTILIZATION OF GOOGLE MAPS AND GOOGLE INSIGHTS — Fumio INOUE Meikai University, Japan [email protected] Abstract The sociolinguistic status of Japanese dialects will be discussed on the basis of linguistic landscape in this paper. A steady increase in dialect shop names over the past fourteen years was concretely ascertained in a southern island on the basis of tour guide books. This increase in dialect shop names is observed also in other areas of Japan. The fieldworks are examples of “insect’s eye view” research. The geographical distribution of dialect shop names can be shown also on distribution maps of Google maps. These maps give us a “bird’s eye view”. It has been ascertained that Japanese dialect forms are utilized both domestically and abroad. Many more examples are observable using Google street view as “fly’s eye view”, and Google insights as “witch’s eye view”. The background of dialect landscape can be explained partly by the progress of language standardization, or decline of dialects. Dialects are now economically utilized because of their scarcity value. Three sociolinguistic types can be distinguished historically: ERADICATION, DESCRIPTION and UTILIZATION. Now Japanese dialects are in the state of UTILIZATION. Dialect landscape is a reflection of language standardization, and is regarded as a sensor of standardization. On the basis of the Linguistic Atlas of Japan, three historical stages of standardization can be distinguished: first, language standardization from the former capital Kyoto, and secondly from the new capital Tokyo, and thirdly nationwide standardization among junior high school students.

    Mora Or Syllable? Which Unit Do Japanese Use in Naming Visually Presented Stimuli?

    Applied Psycholinguistics 25 (2004), 1–27 Printed in the United States of America DOI: 10.1017.S0142716404001018 Mora or syllable? Which unit do Japanese use in naming visually presented stimuli? KATSUO TAMAOKA Hiroshima University YASUSHI TERAO University of Shizuoka ADDRESS FOR CORRESPONDENCE Katsuo Tamaoka, PhD, International Student Center, Hiroshima University, 1-1, 1-Chome, Kagamiyama, Higashi-Hiroshima 739-8523, Japan. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Because the Japanese phonetic script (i.e., kana) represents moraic units, it is often claimed that Japanese people assemble phonology at the moraic unit. Two experiments were conducted to investigate the unit for naming visually presented stimuli, focusing on the special nasals /N/, geminates /Q/, long vowels /R/, and dual vowels /J/. The special sounds create two morae when there is only one syllable. Experiments 1 and 2 compared the production of three-mora, three-syllable and three-mora, two-syllable real, and nonsense words. The findings indicated that native Japanese speakers named the three-mora words containing the special sounds more quickly. Accordingly, it is posited that special sounds are named as syllable units rather than moraic units. Because symbols of the Japanese kana phonetic script (see details of kana in Inagaki, Hatano, & Otake, 2000) basically correspond to morae,1 because the well- known Japanese poetic form called haiku is composed on the basis of 17 morae (i.e., three phrases of 5–7–5 morae), and even because Japanese children play shiritori (a word game requiring the segmentation of an ending mora), it is often believed that mora play a major role in the phonological processing of the Japanese language.
