Language Ideology in 21st-century Japan -- References -- IndexJapan is widely regarded as a model case of successful language modernization, and it is often erroneously believed to be linguistically homogenous. There is a connection between these two views. As the first ever non-Western language to be modernized, Japanese language modernizers needed to convince the West that Japanese was just as good a language as the national languages of the West. The result was a fervent desire for linguistic uniformity. Today the legacy of modernist language ideology poses many problems to an internationalizing Japan. All indigenous minority languages are heading towards extinction, and this purposefully created homogeneity also affects the integration of immigrants and their languages. This book examines these issues from the perspective of language ideology, and in doing so the mechanisms by which language ideology undermines linguistic diversity are revealed.Multilingual MattersEnglish language -- JapanJapan -- LanguagesLanguage and culture -- JapanLanguage and languages -- Study and teaching -- JapanLanguage and languages -- VariationLinguistics -- Study and teaching -- JapanSecond language acquisitionLanguage and languagesStudy and teachingJapanSecond language acquisitionVariationJapanLinguisticsJapanEnglish languageLanguage and cultureLanguages & LiteraturesHILCCEast Asian Languages & LiteraturesHILCCPhilology & LinguisticsHILCCElectronic books.English language -- Japan.Japan -- Languages.Language and culture -- Japan.Language and languages -- Study and teaching -- Japan.Language and languages -- Variation.Linguistics -- Study and teaching -- Japan.Second language acquisition.Language and languagesStudy and teachingSecond language acquisitionVariationLinguisticsEnglish languageLanguage and cultureLanguages & LiteraturesEast Asian Languages & LiteraturesPhilology & Linguistics306.44/952Heinrich Patrick, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut858726DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910457541903321TheMaking of Monolingual Japan2473022UNINA04720nam 22006615 450 991029967750332120200704165329.03-319-13239-310.1007/978-3-319-13239-6(CKB)3710000000306180(EBL)1967682(SSID)ssj0001386260(PQKBManifestationID)11883479(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001386260(PQKBWorkID)11349397(PQKB)10222049(DE-He213)978-3-319-13239-6(MiAaPQ)EBC1967682(PPN)183093798(EXLCZ)99371000000030618020141126d2015 u| 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrOptimal Control of Stochastic Difference Volterra Equations An Introduction /by Leonid Shaikhet1st ed. 2015.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2015.1 online resource (224 p.)Studies in Systems, Decision and Control,2198-4182 ;17Description based upon print version of record.3-319-13238-5 Includes bibliographical references and index.Stochastic Difference Volterra Equations and Some Auxiliary Statements -- Optimal Control -- Successive Approximations to the Optimal Control -- Optimal and Quasioptimal Stabilization -- Optimal Estimation -- Optimal Control of Stochastic Difference Volterra Equations by Incomplete Information.This book showcases a subclass of hereditary systems, that is, systems with behaviour depending not only on their current state but also on their past history; it is an introduction to the mathematical theory of optimal control for stochastic difference Volterra equations of neutral type. As such, it will be of much interest to researchers interested in modelling processes in physics, mechanics, automatic regulation, economics and finance, biology, sociology and medicine for all of which such equations are very popular tools. The text deals with problems of optimal control such as meeting given performance criteria, and stabilization, extending them to neutral stochastic difference Volterra equations. In particular, it contrasts the difference analogues of solutions to optimal control and optimal estimation problems for stochastic integral Volterra equations with optimal solutions for corresponding problems in stochastic difference Volterra equations. Optimal Control of Stochastic Difference Volterra Equations commences with an historical introduction to the emergence of this type of equation with some additional mathematical preliminaries. It then deals with the necessary conditions for optimality in the control of the equations and constructs a feedback control scheme. The approximation of stochastic quasilinear Volterra equations with quadratic performance functionals is then considered. Optimal stabilization is discussed and the filtering problem formulated. Finally, two methods of solving the optimal control problem for partly observable linear stochastic processes, also with quadratic performance functionals, are developed. Integrating the author’s own research within the context of the current state-of-the-art of research in difference equations, hereditary systems theory and optimal control, this book is addressed to specialists in mathematical optimal control theory and to graduate students in pure and applied mathematics and control engineering.Studies in Systems, Decision and Control,2198-4182 ;17Control engineeringSystem theoryCalculus of variationsControl and Systems Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T19010Systems Theory, Controlhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13070Calculus of Variations and Optimal Control; Optimizationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M26016Control engineering.System theory.Calculus of variations.Control and Systems Theory.Systems Theory, Control.Calculus of Variations and Optimal Control; Optimization.515.64519620629.8Shaikhet Leonidauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut720644BOOK9910299677503321Optimal Control of Stochastic Difference Volterra Equations1412173UNINA
