Rejection of Empathy in Negotiation

Trust is a crucial quality in the development of individuals and societies and empathy plays a key role in the formation of trust. Trust and empathy have growing importance in studies of negotiation. However, empathy can be rejected which complicates its role in negotiation. This paper presents a linguistic analysis of empathy by focusing on rejection of empathy in negotiation. Some of the rejections are due to failed recognition of the rejector’s needs and desires whereas others have mainly strategic functions gaining momentum in the negotiation. In both cases, rejection of empathy is a phase in the negotiation not a breakdown.     

Evaluating travel website motivational communication using a structural equation modelling approach

This study examines online information value structure and its motivational communication competence using the motivational language theory (MLT). MLT explains how communication acts directed by managers to employees generate a greater motivation for work. Five information value dimensions — functional, hedonic, innovation, aesthetic and sign — were identified through literature on the subject of MLT and applied to online information. This study confirmed the multidimensionality of online information and proposed four online information dimensions: experiential (hedonic–innovation), sign, functional and aesthetic. The findings also suggested that experiential (hedonic–innovation) and functional information values have significant effects for travel motivation, including exploration, family togetherness, novelty, escape and socialisation.

隐喻产生的符号学阐释

语言符号的任意性使得语言符号指向整个语义范畴，而且通过隐喻和转喻进行扩展后的整个语义范畴本身就保留了隐喻和转喻的特征，未被句意选择而被携带进话题的义项通过与句意选择的义项的范畴错置而形成隐喻，隐喻形成的这两种情况都是在语言符号的层面上进行和完成的。对语言符号线性原理的承诺使得任意性和线性共同作用，从本质上规定了隐喻的产生。

Let’s Talk about Language: A Review of Language‐Sensitive Research in International Management

This paper explores the assumptions underlying the core concept of language used in the growing field of language‐sensitive research in international management. We reviewed 92 articles on the topic of language(s) in multinational corporations published during the period 1997‐2015, and applied a linguistic lens to uncover how these articles ‘talk about language’. The assumptions found in these articles can be grouped into three complementary categories that take a structural, functional or social practice view of language. We go beyond the review by also reflecting on the consequences that these underlying assumptions have for the study of language in multinationals. We consider the social practice view the most promising one, and propose a future research agenda for advancing it and thereby contributing to theorizing about the multinational corporation more broadly.     

法律语言学学科建设的思考——从我国法律文件的英译谈起

目前我国法律文件的英文译本较多地体现了中国法律法规原文的特征,一些错误用法被反复使用,在一定程度上形成了"中国式法律英语".这一现象提示我们反思法律英语译本存在的若干问题.法律英语必须着眼"语言目标"而非"知识目标",回归其作为法律语言学课程分支的本质,才能适应在经济全球化背景下我国法律人才的培养需要.

基于表征视角的旅游目的地形象内涵及其建构过程解析——以丽江古城为例

旅游目的地的旅游活动与其说是一系列旅游产品的组合,不如说是一个过程、一组实践。以此为基点,文章从符号表征的视角重新审视旅游目的地形象的内涵及其建构过程,解释其中所发生的意义生产、嬗变和争斗的过程,发现旅游目的地形象是一种具有社会、文化、心理3个层面的概念,并具有以下特征：群体共享性和差异性;社会根源性和规范说明性;相对稳定性和长期动态性。旅游目的地形象的建构过程本质上是符号表征功能的运作,而旅游目的地形象建构的意义就在于规范和组织旅游目的地社群和旅游者群体内的旅游活动。
