Transformer in navigation: Diverse government roles for open innovation in China's high-speed rail

Based on a longitudinal case study of China's high-speed rail embedded in the emerging economy context, we focus on what role the government plays and how that matters to open innovation (OI) for competitive advantage. By linking the OI literature with the national political institutions literature to motivate our research question, we propose a statist-based OI view to differentiate diverse government roles, investigating how government adopts roles in a combined way to push OI in stages. Our findings suggest that government is an important strategic decision-maker for OI. Specifically, the government plays various roles as commander, protector, cultivator, and intermediator, reflecting state activism derived from national political institutions, to construct institutional-level OI for domestic OI activities, and inbound and outbound OI across national borders. We find government can deliberately and strategically use its diverse roles in a combined way to push OI for competitive advantage through the industrial evolutionary process over time. Our study contributes to the OI literature and integrates the strategic management literature with the study of OI to provide new insights to explain the origins of competitive advantage from the state perspective.     

Childbearing and Marriage: Investigating the Importance of Context for Meaning-Making of First-Time Marriage

Previous research reveals that the temporal ordering of childbearing and marriage can have an impact on the meaning of first-time marriage. This article aims to obtain a deeper understanding of meaning-making of first-time marriage in relation to childbearing. Narrative interviews with 16 brides and grooms in 8 couples in Sweden were conducted. The material was analyzed in relation to the temporal ordering of childbearing and marriage. The study reveals that the construction of meaning of marriage does not only relate to the temporal context. Social factors such as social class or family formation might also be relevant for how meaning is constructed. This article contributes to a deeper understanding of meaning-making as a relational process constructed within particular contexts.     

自杀和生命的意义——来自脑科学研究的解读

生命本身是一个随机事件，并不具有高尚的意义。进化的结果使人类可通过工作、家庭和人际关系等给予自己的生命以意义感。当我们的生活方式使脑内奖赏系统获得刺激，就会带来生命具有意义的感受，这种感受给人带来更好的生存机会。生存的欲望是一切生物体最具特征的属性，一些精神疾病患者缺乏这种欲望。自杀主要发生于精神疾病患者，它并非是基于自由意志的行为。抗精神病治疗和适当的社会交往可以预防自杀。由于不同个体有着不同的大脑，人们的生活方式就应该去适应各自大脑的特征。只要人们的生活方式不对他人造成过多的伤害，政府就应该允许和保护人们自由地按照各自的方式生活。     

英语中形式与意义不一致的语用研究

英语与其他语种一样存在着形式与意义不一致的语用问题 ,主要有四种表现形式 :陈述句起疑问句、祈使句作用 ;疑问句起着陈述句、祈使句作用 ;肯定形式表示否定意义 ;否定形式表示肯定意义。由于说话者的目的不同 ,选择的表达方式就不同 ,其语用意义也随之变化。     

意向性建构原理与读者理论

现象学哲学的“意向性建构”原理的实质意义给与 :主体建构对象就是给与对象意义。这是讲求读者建构 (再创造 )文本意义一路文学理论的哲学基础     

界定语言的逻辑理路

迄今,还没有一门科学像语言学这样不能提供研究对象的结论性定义。语言有三个本质属性,即社会事实、心理表征及声音和意义结合的符号系统,只有对语言进行三维观照,才有可能本真地推导出语言这一语言学对象所特有的、本质的属性     

论礼貌在交际中的识解

礼貌是一个非常复杂的问题,它的识解需要语言内、外的知识。礼貌既要通过语言知识如语调,字、词和句来识解,又要借助人的常识和对语境中的认知能力。礼貌是即时即景的,说话人与受话人的个人经历、文化背景和合作对礼貌起了很大的作用。情景及其它非语言因素也起了不可忽视的作用,通过语言体现的礼貌因人因情景因文化而异。     

论和谐社会主导意义系统的构建

每个社会都需要一个主导意义系统，它作为一条精神纽带，是一个民族赖以生存和发展的思想基础和精神动力。随着社会经济的发展，中西文化的相互交流与渗透，长期以来一直作为中国传统社会主导意义系统的儒家思想亦由精神领航员的地位转而滑向边缘。社会主导意义系统的衰落，导致了人们精神世界的无序和混乱。重构社会主导意义系统，促进精神世界的和谐就成为了构建社会主义和谐社会的重要组成部分。     

委婉表达现象的认知语用特征

委婉表达现象的认知语用特征,如果从语用规约、隐喻思维和认知语境几个方面来看,其实质就是人们利用纯语言符号和认知机制合力的心理认知过程;委婉表达现象与语用规约、隐喻、认知语境等密不可分。     

言内语境--言外语境--现代西方名称指称语境观的嬗变

现代西方语言哲学家、逻辑学家在名称指称语境观方面呈现出由言内语境向言外语境转化的特征.形式语言学派大都从语言与实在同构的观念出发,在语言内部探究语词的指称方式.日常语言学派认为,指称是一种人们使用日常语言的实践活动,只有在变化多样的语言实践活动这样一个大语言背景下才能合理解释名称所指及其确定问题.指称语境观的这一重大转变标志着人们对名称指称理论的研究走向更加成熟、更加科学的阶段.
