This book explores how language ideologies have emerged for gangtaiqiang through a combination of indexical and ideological processes in televised media. Gangtaiqiang (Hong Kong-Taiwan accent), a socially recognizable form of mediatized Taiwanese Mandarin, has become a stereotype for many Chinese mainlanders who have little real-life interaction with Taiwanese people. Using both qualitative and quantitative approaches, the author examines how ...

This book explores how language ideologies have emerged for Gangtai qiang through a combination of indexical, interactional, and ideological processes in televised media. Using both qualitative and quantitative approaches, the author focuses on the following questions: First, how do fictional characters draw upon linguistic repertoires in the construction of personae? Second, in what ways are shifting gender ideologies embodied in these person...

Peng explores the legal dimension of a most pressing issue in today's China - massive rural land expropriation. Explaining why and how pervasive takings have been mandated and facilitated, rather than constrained, by the takings law, this book is essential for anyone interested in law and society in contemporary China.

In this book, we propose novel deterministic RNN training algorithms that adopt a nonmonotone approach. This allows learning behaviour to deteriorate in some iterations, nevertheless the overall learning performance is improved over time. The nonmonotone RNN training methods, which take their theoretical basis from the theory of deterministic nonlinear optimisation, aim at better exploring the search space and enhancing the convergence behavio...

This book presents a wideband GFSK-modulated fractional-N frequency synthesizer which using the two-point delta-sigma modulation (TPDSM). Two bottlenecks in this design have been rigorously investigated. One is the nonlinear performance of fractional-N frequency synthesizers. The other one is the inherent gain and delay mismatch between the two modulation points. Both nonlinear and mismatch factors dominate the modulation accuracy in t...
