Hakata Ward, Fukuoka City Etsuo Matsuyuki CEO & Representative Director Inquiries: Yoichi Nishio Managing Director TEL: +81-(0)92-272-3900 Fukuoka REIT Concludes Agreement to Purchase a New Logistics Facility in Saga Prefecture Fukuoka REIT Corporation (FRC) announces that it has decided to acquire a property, as described below. 1. Summary of Acquisition Acquisition price Acquisition date Property name Use Location (planned) (planned) Logistics Himekatamachi, Tosu Tosu Logistics Center 1,250 million yen March 28, 2014 facility City, Saga 2. Reason for Acquisition FRC invests primarily in retail facilities with excellent design and entertainment qualities and Class A office buildings, focusing on Fukuoka and Kyushu region. Other than retail facilities and office buildings, FRC also works to acquire properties which, by capitalizing on its community-based strengths to establish appropriate management structures for each property and through other measures, will allow it to secure stable earnings over medium- to long-term periods. By incorporating such properties into its portfolio, FRC intends to pursue risk diversification within the region. The property to be acquired is a logistics facility located within the Green Logistics Park Tosu in Tosu City, Saga Prefecture. The Tosu area, which centers on Tosu City, is positioned as an important distribution base covering the entire Kyushu region as it features well-developed road networks including express ways and highways. Moreover, since supply of conveniently located logistics facilities is rather limited in the Tosu area, the property commands a strong competitive edge and scarcity value.

  • Vietnamese Female Spouses' Language Use Patterns in Self Initiated Admonishment Sequences in Bilingual Taiwanese Families* L
    Novitas-ROYAL (Research on Youth and Language), 2014, 8(1), 77-96. VIETNAMESE FEMALE SPOUSES’ LANGUAGE USE PATTERNS IN SELF INITIATED ADMONISHMENT SEQUENCES IN BILINGUAL TAIWANESE FAMILIES* Li-Fen WANG1 Abstract: This paper aims to identify how Taiwanese and Mandarin (the two dominant languages in Taiwan) are used as interactional resources by Vietnamese female spouses in bilingual Taiwanese families. Three Vietnamese-Taiwanese transnational families (a total of seventeen people) participated in the research, and mealtime talks among the Vietnamese wives and their Taiwanese family members were audio-/video-recorded. Conversation analysis (CA) was adopted to analyse the seven hours of data collected. It was found that the Vietnamese participants orient to Taiwanese and Mandarin as salient resources in admonishment sequences. Specifically, it was identified that the two languages serve as contextualisation cues and framing devices in the Vietnamese participants’ self-initiated admonishment sequences. Keywords: Conversation analysis, cross-border marriage, intercultural communication Özet: Bu çalışma, Tayvanca ve Çince’nin (Tayvan’daki yaygın iki dil) iki dil konuşan Tayvanlı ailelerdeki Vietnamlı kadın eşler tarafından etkileşimsel kaynak olarak nasıl kullanıldığını göstermeyi amaçlamaktadır. Üç Vietnamlı-Tayvanlı aile araştırmaya katılmıştır (toplamda on yedi kişi), ve Vietnamlı kadınlar ve onların Tayvanlı aile üyeleri arasındaki yemek zamanı konuşmaları sesli ve görüntülü olarak kaydedilmiştir.
