Thinking as saying: s huo (‘say’) in Taiwan Mandarin conversation and BBS talk

The research reported here is an attempt to explore the functions of shuo ‘say’ in informal Chinese speech and writing. We further probe into the grammaticalization of shuo, discussing how the various lexical, grammatical and discourse functions have come into being, with reference to the general tendencies of semantic change proposed by Traugott [(1982). In: Lehmann and Malkiel (Eds.) Perspectives on Historical Linguistics. Benjamins, Amsterdam. pp. 245–272; (1989) Language 65(1), 31–55] and Traugott and König [In: Traugott and Heine (Eds.), Approaches to Grammaticalization, Vol. I. John Benjamins, Philadelphia. pp. 189–218], and the metaphor MIND-AS-BODY proposed by Sweetser [(1990). From Etymology to Pragmatics. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge]. The corpus used in this study contains two sets of data: non-face-to-face talk on BBS (the Electronic Bulletin Board System) and face-to-face daily conversation, mainly produced by young people in Taiwan. Our data indicate that shuo, in addition to acting as a complementizer as discussed by S. Huang [On the (almost perfect) identify of speech and thought: Evidence from Chinese dialects. (1982). Paper presented at Fourteenth International Conference on Sino-Tibetan Languages and Linguistics] and Cheng [(1997). In: Cheng (Ed.), Taiwanese and Mandarin Structures and Their Developmental Trends in Taiwan II: Contacts between Taiwanese and Mandarin and Restructuring of their Synonyms. Yuan-Liou Publishing Co. Taipei. pp. 105–131], can also occur in an utterance-initial position, functioning as a marker of hearsay, and in an utterance-final position, as a marker of counterexpectation or as an intensifier. On the whole, the data suggest that the initial and final shuo's are innovations serving an expressive function. In particular, the lexeme shuo is moving from the propositional level to the expressive level; i.e., it is evolving from a verb meaning ‘say’ that prefaces an utterance conveying information into a discourse marker that encodes the attitude of the speaker toward the proposition.

Conference summary

The fourteenth International Conference on Electromagnetic Isotope Separators and Techniques related to their Applications, EMIS-14, held in Victoria, Canada, was attended by more than 130 participants. As compared to earlier EMIS conferences, EMIS-14 reflected the increasing importance of experimental developments applicable to unstable nuclei. Reports on efficient isotope separation, beam manipulation such as cooling, trapping and acceleration were presented. The theoretical basis for research with exotic beams was put by W. Nazarewicz. He clearly underlined the importance of neutron rich nuclei which cover a large and unexplored region of the nuclear chart. New phenomena such as the separation of proton and neutron matter in nuclei or disappearance and formation of new nuclear shells are expected. The investigation of the rich field of nuclei far-off stability will shed light on the in-medium nucleon–nucleon interaction and finally help to understand the structure of elementary matter.

LOLA Object Manipulation in an Unstructured Environment

LOLA won the Office Cleanup event at the 1995 Robot Competition and Exhibition, held as part of the Fourteenth International Conference on Artificial Intelligence. The event called for a robot to pick up trash in an unstructured environment and sort it such that the recyclable trash winded up in the recycle bin and the regular trash in the trash bin. The only allowable information lola was given beforehand were model-based descriptions of the trash and recyclables, which it located using color vision. Much of LOLA's success can be attributed to the simple, fast algorithms and methods that also model sensor uncertainty. The ideas and design philosophy that went into LOLA borrow heavily from those of previous competitors' to which we are greatly indebted. These methods and ideas are discussed here.
