Hang Tuah Adiwira Bangsa by Steven Sim Pdf

Saudara YB Steven Sim sudah lama akrab dengan Hang Tuah, wira Malaysia dan Nusantara ini, selalu mengikuti dan menyumbang kepada wacananya, serta menambah sudut pandangannya sebagai warga Malaysia yang moden yang bangga dengan Hikayat besar ini. . . . Saya sangat teruja bahawa Saudara YB Steven Sim, dengan segala ghairahnya, turut menjadikan Hang Tuah simbol “Malaysia Baharu”, simbol untuk semua rakyat Malaysia. Profesor Dr Muhammad Haji Salleh, Sasterawan Negara Sebagai salah seorang ahli politik-sarjana yang menjadi harapan Malaysia hari ini, keterpesonaan Steven Sim terhadap budaya Melayu dan sejarah Melayu telah sedia masyhur diketahui umum. Dalam mengkaji dan menganalisis fenomena Hang Tuah, Steven Sim mengemukakan persoalan etnografi utama mengenai zaman ketika mana Melaka menguasai budaya dan perdagangan di seluruh laut Nusantara, yang berpotensi mengubah pandangan etno-nasionalistik moden mengenai kerancakan dunia kosmopolitan di mana Hang Tuah bukan sahaja tumbuh “membesar” malah turut “mencorakkannya”. Dato' Dr Ooi Kee Beng, Pengarah Eksekutif, Penang Institute Saya yakin ada beberapa orang sahaja pemimpin Melayu yang pernah membaca naskhah ini sehingga selesai. Seseorang pemimpin yang dapat membaca dan menelah fikiran bangsanya akan dapat melakukan yang lebih baik – berkhidmat – dan saya percaya itu sebabnya YB Steven Sim ingin berkongsikan apa yang beliau baca, dan kekagumannya kepada naskhah ini. Dr Faisal Tehrani, Institut Alam & Tamadun Melayu (ATMA), UKM

Swearing in English by Tony McEnery Pdf

Do men use bad language more than women? How do social class and the use of bad language interact? Do young speakers use bad language more frequently than older speakers? Using the spoken section of the British National Corpus, Swearing in English explores questions such as these and considers at length the historical origins of modern attitudes to bad language. Drawing on a variety of methodologies including historical research and corpus linguistics, and a range of data such as corpora, dramatic texts, early modern newsbooks and television, Tony McEnery takes a socio-historical approach to discourses about bad language in English. Arguing that purity of speech and power have come to be connected via a series of moral panics about bad language, the book contends that these moral panics, over time, have generated the differences observable in bad language usage in present day English. A fascinating, comprehensive insight into an increasingly popular area, this book provides an explanation, and not simply a description, of how modern attitudes to bad language have come about.

Expletive Deleted by Ruth Wajnryb Pdf

Have we always "sworn like sailors"? Has creative cursing developed because we can't just slug people when they make us angry? And if such verbal aggression is universal, why is it that some languages (Japanese, for instance) supposedly do not contain any nasty words? Throughout the twentieth century there seems to have been a dramatic escalation in the use and acceptance of offensive language in English, both verbally and in print. Today it seems almost commonplace to hear the "f" word in casual conversation, and even on television. Just how have we become such a bunch of cursers and what does it tell us about our language and ourselves? In Expletive Deleted, linguist Ruth Wajnryb offers an entertaining yet thoroughly researched, lighthearted look at this development, seeking to reveal the etymologies of various terms and discover how what was once considered unfit-for-company argot has become standard fare. Wajnryb steps outside the confines of English in her search for answers, exploring whether offensive words in English are mirrored in other languages and examining cultural differences in the usage of dirty words. For instance, why is it that in some languages you can get away with intimating that a person and his camel are more than just good friends, while pouring scorn on a mother's morals guarantees you a seat on the next flight out? An amusing and idiosyncratic look at the power of words to shock, offend, insult, amuse, exaggerate, let off steam, establish relationships, and communicate deep-felt emotions, Expletive Deleted is a must-read for anyone who loves language -- or has ever stubbed a toe.

Big Data, Cloud Computing, Data Science & Engineering by Roger Lee Pdf

This book presents the outcomes of the 3rd IEEE/ACIS International Conference on Big Data, Cloud Computing, Data Science & Engineering (BCD 2018), which was held on July 10–12, 2018 in Kanazawa. The aim of the conference was to bring together researchers and scientists, businesspeople and entrepreneurs, teachers, engineers, computer users, and students to discuss the various fields of computer science, to share their experiences, and to exchange new ideas and information in a meaningful way. All aspects (theory, applications and tools) of computer and information science, the practical challenges encountered along the way, and the solutions adopted to solve them are all explored here. The conference organizers selected the best papers from among those accepted for presentation. The papers were chosen on the basis of review scores submitted by members of the program committee and subsequently underwent further rigorous review. Following this second round of review, 13 of the conference’s most promising papers were selected for this Springer (SCI) book. We eagerly await the important contributions that we know these authors will make to the field of computer and information science.
