Struck by speech revisited: Embodied stance in jurisdictional discourse1

This paper illustrates how stance functions as a semiotic resource that feeds into and mediates institutional context. I consider stance not only as linguistic expression but as interactive, bodily engagement, synchronized in multimodal layers of participation. Using data from a focus group interview, I examine how stance emerges in the collaborative rhythms of linguistic, paralinguistic and, most prominently, embodied conduct between speaker and listener to index socio‐cultural knowledge about the jurisdictional division of labor among legal professionals. Drawing on Charles Frake's classic ‘Struck by speech,’ I illustrate not only how a speaker strikes his listener with speech, but also how the body of the listener displays being struck.     

Category Distinguishability and Observer Agreement

It is common in the medical, biological, and social sciences for the categories into which an object is classified not to have a fully objective definition. Theoretically speaking the categories are therefore not completely distinguishable. The practical extent of their distinguishability can be measured when two expert observers classify the same sample of objects. It is shown, under reasonable assumptions, that the matrix of joint classification probabilities is quasi-symmetric, and that the symmetric matrix component is non-negative definite. The degree of distinguishability between two categories is defined and is used to give a measure of overall category distinguishability. It is argued that the kappa measure of observer agreement is unsatisfactory as a measure of overall category distinguishability.     

Conditional inference for subject-specific and marginal agreement: Two families of agreement measures

A two-stage procedure is described for assessing subject-specific and marginal agreement for data from a test-retest reliability study of a binary classification procedure. Subject-specific agreement is parametrized through the log odds ratio, while marginal agreement is reflected by the log ratio of the off-diagonal Poisson means. A family of agreement measures in the interval [-1, 1] is presented for both types of agreement. The conditioning argument described facilitates exact inference. The proposed methodology is demonstrated by way of an example involving hypothetical data chosen for illustrative purposes, and data from a National Health Survey Study (Rogot and Goldberg 1966).     

论弱势群体与教育关怀

随着改革开放的进一步深入和社会主义市场经济体制的不断完善和发展,弱势群体问题逐渐引起人们的广泛关注。为了实现社会和经济的协调发展,推动社会的全面进步,必须从根本上改变弱势群体的生存状态。给予其基本的生活保障,只能解决暂时的生活需求,而实施"教育关怀"才是解决弱势群体问题的长远之计。     

重庆市城镇居民消费结构实证分析

消费结构是产业结构演进的根本动因,消费结构的合理化关系到国民经济的持续、稳定、快速和协调发展。文章采用扩展线性支出系统模型,通过消费倾向、消费弹性和基本消费支出等参数定量地考察了重庆市居民消费结构。可以看出重庆市城镇居民边际消费倾向较大,食品和居住在居民支出构成中占较重要的地位。     

The Dynamic Pivot Mechanism

We consider truthful implementation of the socially efficient allocation in an independent private‐value environment in which agents receive private information over time. We propose a suitable generalization of the pivot mechanism, based on the marginal contribution of each agent. In the dynamic pivot mechanism, the ex post incentive and ex post participation constraints are satisfied for all agents after all histories. In an environment with diverse preferences it is the unique mechanism satisfying ex post incentive, ex post participation, and efficient exit conditions. We develop the dynamic pivot mechanism in detail for a repeated auction of a single object in which each bidder learns over time her true valuation of the object. The dynamic pivot mechanism here is equivalent to a modified second price auction.     

11~14岁农村留守儿童性问题研究——基于对阜宁县芦蒲镇留守儿童的调查

通过对盐城阜宁县芦蒲镇1 157名11~14岁留守儿童的问卷调查和深入访谈发现,该地留守儿童的性问题绝大多数属于边缘性性行为,其中"说下流话"现象较为突出,有此体验的学生达半数左右;有45例自诉曾遭受来自异性侵害,而对这类严重犯罪行为,学校及地方政府尚未予以关注。农村学校应该杜绝说下流话现象,普及青春期性健康知识,增强留守儿童自我保护意识,政府应严厉打击针对留守儿童的犯罪行为,保护农村留守儿童不受性侵。     

中国公民健康水平的性别差异——基于第三期中国妇女社会地位调查数据的分析

基于第三期中国妇女社会地位调查数据。从健康自评、心理健康、生理健康三个方面分析了中国公民健康水平的性别差异,同时展现不同阶层和群体妇女的健康状况。结果表明,总体上男性比女性更容易获得较高的健康水平：而弱势社会阶层女性与优势社会阶层女性健康水平也存在较大差异。研究还发现。在职业、收入、教育程度以及城乡区隔等因素对男女公民健康产生影响的同时,性别因素交织其中而使健康水平性别差距方面发生一些微妙变化。     

伦理学视野下的当代英国少数族裔现状分析——以《偶发空缺》为例
