good news is that selling social marketing programs is easier today than it's ever
been. A compelling body of case evidence has emerged over the past couple of
years1 and the mainstream popularity of services like LinkedIn and Facebook
have made social networks at least understandable to skeptics. In the same way
that America Online drove business adoption of the Internet 15 years ago,
consumer applications are creating business awareness today. But this doesn't

Entity-Relationship Approach - ER '94. Business Modelling and Re-Engineering

13th International Conference on the Entity-Relationship Approach, Manchester, United Kingdom, December 13 - 16, 1994 Proceedings

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 13th International Conference on the Entity-Relationship Approach, ER '94, held in Manchester, UK in December 1994. The ER '94 book is devoted to business modelling and re-engineering and provides a balanced view between research and practical experience. The 34 full revised papers presented are organized in sections on business process modelling, enterprise modelling, systems evolution, modelling integrity constraints, object-oriented databases, active databases, CASE, reverse engineering, information system modelling, schema coordination, and re-engineering.

This paper proposes to integrate constraint languages with the declarative
specifications of their integrity repair actions. We introduce a rather powerful,
predicate-based language for specifying integrity constraints, then we discuss the
semantics of repair actions as computations which react to constraint violations,
then we establish sufficient conditions for ensuring their termination, and finally
we show how repair actions can be integrated in the SQL2 standard and
implemented by ...

Cognitive Modelling in Language and Discourse across Cultures

This volume deals with core issues in figurative language and figurative thought. It also explores areas of convergence between idealised cognitive models and language across fourteen European and non-European languages (Croatian, English, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Persian, Polish, Russian, Old Saxon, Sicilian, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish). The collection foregrounds the relationship that holds between literalness and figurativeness in meaning construction, it emphasises the role of conceptual metonymy and metaphor as the main cognitive tools at work in inferential activity and as generators of discourse ties, and it also depicts the import of cognitive models in the production and interpretation of multimodal communication. In addition, a number of more specific topics are addressed from different perspectives, such as language variation and cultural models, the argumentative role of metaphor in discourse and the role of empirical work in cognitive linguistics.

This volume deals with core issues in figurative language and figurative thought.

Modelling the Field of Community Interpreting

Questions of Methodology in Research and Training

The field of community interpreting is characterised by continually changing political, social, institutional and cultural contexts. Over the last few years new approaches to the training of community interpreters have been conceptualised to meet the requirements of these developments and to replace lay interpreters by trained interpreters. The contributions of this volume present both innovative models of didactics and curricula for community interpreters and empirically and methodologically challenging analyses of various fields of community interpreting.

The importance of effective communication becomes evident when a problem is
experienced and the language service delivery is not up to standard or if it comes
abruptly to a standstill. It becomes even more evident in an intercultural context
when communication takes the form of an extended communication activity, i.e.
extended in the sense that a language intermediary becomes involved.
Language and language policy was decisive in the transformation to a
democratic South ...

Teaching North American environmental literature

From stories about Los Angeles freeways to slave narratives to science fiction, environmental literature encompasses more than nature writing. The study of environmental narrative has flourished since the MLA published Teaching Environmental Literature in 1985. Today, writers evince a self-consciousness about writing in the genre, teachers have incorporated field study into courses, technology has opened up classroom possibilities, and institutions have developed to support study of this vital body of writing. The challenge for instructors is to identify core texts while maintaining the field's dynamic, open qualities.The essays in this volume focus on North American environmental writing, presenting teachers with background on environmental justice issues, ecocriticism, and ecofeminism. Contributors consider the various disciplines that have shaped the field, including African American, American Indian, Canadian, and Chicana/o literature. The interdisciplinary approaches recommended treat the theme of predators in literature, ecology and ethics, conservation, and film. A focus on place-based literature explores how students can physically engage with the environment as they study literature. The volume closes with an annotated resource guide organized by subject matter.
