This book was warmly receiv ed by chess fans and ex perts alike. As a log i cal con tin - u a tion we now pres ent the book The Mod ern Bogo, with which we com plete a fully- fledged open ing rep er toire for black players. One of the ques tions that read ers as well as the New In Chess ed i tors asked dur ing the course of writ ing this book, was what our recom men da tion is if af ter 1.d4 e6 White con tin ues with 2.e4.With our an swer that we recom mend 2...d5, en ter ing the French De fence, the next di lemma was whether this book is only for peo ple who play the French with black. Of course, our repl y is: no, it is not. More than 90 per cent of the mate rial is com prised of the pop u lar the o reti cal lines in the Bogo- and Nimzo-In dian, which are reg u larly reached via the move or der 1.d4 Àf6 2.c4 e6. With this in mind, the book is aimed at a wide reading au di tor ium. How ever, be cause we recom mend the move or der 1.d4 e6, the book has a par tic u lar sig nif i - cance to fans of the French De fence. As men tioned, more than 90 percent of the lines are also reached through the stan dard trans po si tion with 1.d4 Àf6 2.c4 e6. Less than 10 per cent of the mate rial cov er s lines with out 2...Àf6. As you will find in the book, with this course of ac - tion Black de priv es White of many Nimzo-In dian lines, and also retain s the pos si - bil ity of strik ing at the centr e while the knight is still on g8. The re sult ing po si tions are very orig i nal al ready early in the opening. The book struc ture is of fer ing the follo wing chap ters: the Bogo-In dian af ter 2...Ãb4+, with trans po si tions to the stan dard po si tions, as well as the reg ular move or der 1.d4 Àf6 2.c4 e6 3.Àf3 Ãb4+ 4.Ãd2, and now the op tions 4...Ãxd2+, 4...a5 and 4...c5, in all cases with ex cel lent play for Black. In the line with 4...a5 we have also cov ered the Cata lan Open ing, with the cur rently most pop u lar set-up for Black. In the line 1.d4 Àf6 2.c4 e6 3.Àf3 Ãb4+ 4.Àbd2 we sug gest 4...0-0, and then pos si bly 5.a3 Ãe7 6.e4 d5. The play is very dy namic and bears lots of sim i lar i ties to the Tarrasch French, where the extra tempo with the white pawn on a3 does n’t make a dif ference since his pawn on c4 and knight on d2 are not compa t i ble. Tournament prac tice sug gests that these lines are the most popu lar con tin ua tions for Black and we be lieve that our con tri bu tion and our new ideas will ce ment their solid reputation. In or der to in crease the leg i bil ity of this book we have used a spe cial fea ture in the Index of Vari a tions (in the back of the book). Al though we ad voca te (and use) the move or der 1.d4 e6 2.c4 Ãb4+ throughout this book we ap preci ate that the great ma jor ity of the ma te rial in this mono graph can be clas si fied un der the reg u lar Bogo-Indian Def ence: 1.d4 Àf6 2.c4 e6 3.Àf3 Ãb4+. 7 The Modern Bogo 1.d4 e6 So we strictly fol low the or der in which each line is presented but have made a dis - tinc tion be tween lines with or without the in ser tion of Àf3 and Àf6. Hence the page num bers in the In dex of Vari a tions may at times seem slightly cha otic, but we feel it’s the best way to en able the reader to find where any given line or po si tion is ex am ined in our book. We are grate ful to the peo ple who ac tively par tic i pated in the work on this book: the trans lators Mr Vladi mir Krpan and IM Aleksandar Davidovic, as well the ed i tors of New In Chess. Our grati tude also goes out to Mr Goran Urosevic, the founder of Chessdom.com, who helped with cor rections in the final stages.

  • As Cultural Performance in Chinese: Cases of Requesting and Declining
    “Face” as Cultural Performance in Chinese: Cases of Requesting and Declining DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By HAO-HSIANG LIAO, M.A. Graduate Program in East Asian Languages and Literatures The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Professor Galal Walker, Advisor Professor Mari Noda Professor Charles Quinn Copyright by Hao-hsiang Liao 2012 Abstract Face, a self-image that each member of a society seems to care about, is a cultural performance. Performance refers to situated behaviors that define an individual’s successful functioning in a society. Face can be as explicit as defending yourself in a debate or as implicit as denying a request from a friend. This dissertation investigates how “face” is presented, maintained, negotiated, and how it functions in the cases of requesting and declining in Chinese culture. To be more specific, this dissertation explores “face” in four situations – making a request of your teacher, making a request of a friend, denying a request from your teacher, and denying a request from a friend – and depicts the features of these four situations from both the native speakers’ and the Chinese learners’ perspectives. Based on the results of the research, I argue “face” as a theme in requesting and declining as it runs through the considerations and strategies people resort to in these situations. The considerations are face-based and they correspond to the face-saving themes. In Chinese, more specifically, it is lian on mianzi because the speaker, based on his social status, power, and ability, aims to maintain the semblance of integrity.

  • 1 the Acquisition of Sociolinguistic Variation: A
    THE ACQUISITION OF SOCIOLINGUISTIC VARIATION: A LONGITUDINAL STUDY OF SECOND LANGUAGE LEARNERS OF CHINESE OVER A SHORT-TERM STUDY ABROAD SOJOURN By YANMIN BAO A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2017 1 © 2017 Yanmin Bao 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First and foremost, I want to express my sincerest gratitude to my committee chair, Dr. Blondeau, who introduced me to the field of sociolinguistics and who expertly guided me through my graduate education. Her generous guidance, professionalism, support and patience enabled me to work on a topic that was of great interest to me. The joy and enthusiasm she has for sociolinguistic variation was really contagious and motivated me to develop my research interest from an abstract idea to a practical study. I am especially thankful for her valuable suggestions to my research methodology and variationist analysis of the variable DE, helped me improve these sections a lot. I am also heartily grateful to my committee members: Dr. Golombek, Dr. Lord, and Dr. Fang. Dr. Golombek guided me to compare different models applied to the acquisition of the target language, which was very important for the development of the theoretical framework. To Dr. Lord, I would like to express my gratitude for her interest in my topic of research, for providing me with kind suggestions and the data collection tool (i.e., Language Contact Profile) that I could not possibly have discovered. Also, I want to thank Dr. Fang for being willing to come on board as a committee member and gave me useful advice.

  • Grammaticalization and Language Change in Chinese
    GRAMMATICALIZATION AND LANGUAGE CHANGE IN CHINESE This innovative study of grammaticalization in Chinese offers a highly accessible and comprehensive overview of both the diachronic development and current syntactic status of a wide variety of grammatical morphemes in Chinese. Approaching the issue of grammaticalization from a formal, theo­ retical point of view, but also making use of traditional insights into language change, Xiu-Zhi Zoe Wu shows how a range of syntactic mecha­ nisms have conspired to result in the grammatical constructions and functional morphemes of modern Chinese. Patterns from Chinese and an in­ depth analysis of the development of functional categories in the language are also used to argue for more general, cross-linguistic principles of language change, and provide valuable insights into the principled ways that grammatical words evolve across languages. Grammaticalization and Language Change in Chinese is a bold and inspired attempt to apply formal, Chomskyean syntactic theory to the tradi­ tional area of the study of language change. Although the analyses of the book are cast within such a theoretical approach to language, the data and generalizations brought to light should be of considerable interest to linguists from quite different backgrounds, and the central ideas and intu­ itions of the various chapters are presented in a way that makes them accessible to a wide and varied readership. The book is not only a highly informative and useful resource on Chinese but also clearly indicates what Chinese is able to show about language change and the phenomena of gram­ maticalization in general. Xiu-Zhi Zoe Wu is a Lecturer in the Chinese Program, Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Southern California.

Voted overall best tournament of the year by the Association of Chess Professionals last year, as well as being voted the world’s best Swiss System event for the last three years, the #TGCF has become the blueprint for top tournaments everywhere, with the broadest possible range of standards represented, from world champions down to the humblest beginners. Our main tournament, the Tradewise Gibraltar Masters is open to all-comers. And when we say ‘open’, we mean that literally: if you know how to play chess and pay the entry fee - you can take part! When we say ‘world champions’, we mean that literally, too. Taking part this year is someone who is more than a world champion, he’s a legend. We’re delighted to welcome Vishy Anand, from India, five times world champion, and the only player in chess history to have won the ultimate title in all three formats, traditional matchplay, knock-out and tournament, and the undisputed world champion from 2007 to 2013. As well as being a brilliant player, Vishy is also a great ambassador for our game and we’re honoured to have him. His participation marks a watershed for chess, with elite players now showing themselves willing to participate in the excitement of open tournaments.
