Interviews Cited --Notes --Bibliography --Index --AcknowledgmentsOver the past three decades, China has transformed itself from a stagnant, inward, centrally planned economy into an animated, outward-looking, decentralized market economy. Its rapid growth and trade surpluses have caused uneasiness in Western governments, which perceive this growth to be a result of China's rejection of international protocols that protect intellectual property and its widespread theft and replication of Western technology and products. China's major trading partners, particularly the United States, persistently criticize China for delivering, at best, half-hearted enforcement of intellectual property rights (IPR) norms. Despite these criticisms, Zhenqing Zhang argues that China does respect international intellectual property rights, but only in certain cases. In Intellectual Property Rights in China, Zhang addresses the variation in the effectiveness of China's IPR policy and explains the mechanisms for the uneven compliance with global IPR norms. Covering the areas of patent, copyright, and trademark, Zhang chronicles how Chinese IPR policy has evolved within the legacy of a planned economy and an immature market mechanism. In this environment, compliance with IPR norms is the result of balancing two factors: the need for short-term economic gains that depend on violating others' IPR and the aspirations for long-term sustained growth that requires respecting others' IPR. In case studies grounded in theoretical analysis as well as interviews and fieldwork, Zhang demonstrates how advocates for IPR, typically cutting-edge Chinese companies and foreign IPR holders, can be strong enough to persuade government officials to comply with IPR norms to achieve the country's long-term economic development goals. Conversely, he reveals the ways in which local governments protect IPR infringers because of their own political interests in raising tax revenues and creating jobs.Intellectual propertyGovernment policyChinaIntellectual propertyPolitical aspectsChinaIntellectual propertyEconomic aspectsChinaPatent laws and legislationChinaCopyrightChinaTrademarksLaw and legislationChinaAsian Studies.Business.Economics.Law.Political Science.Public Policy.Intellectual propertyGovernment policyIntellectual propertyPolitical aspectsIntellectual propertyEconomic aspectsPatent laws and legislationCopyrightTrademarksLaw and legislation346.5104/8Zhang Zhenqing1527785DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910793244103321Intellectual Property Rights in China3770984UNINA04443nam 2200721Ia 450 991079259560332120230725023522.01-282-71642-597866127164233-11-022489-510.1515/9783110224894(CKB)2670000000018703(EBL)516534(OCoLC)630538799(SSID)ssj0000397686(PQKBManifestationID)11258466(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000397686(PQKBWorkID)10356103(PQKB)11000477(MiAaPQ)EBC516534(DE-B1597)38186(OCoLC)639016121(OCoLC)979745010(DE-B1597)9783110224894(Au-PeEL)EBL516534(CaPaEBR)ebr10381193(CaONFJC)MIL271642(EXLCZ)99267000000001870320100120d2010 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtccrThe function of proverbs in discourse[electronic resource] the case of a Mexican transnational social network /by Elías Domínguez BarajasNew York, NY Mouton de Gruyter20101 online resource (197 p.)Contributions to the sociology of language ;98Description based upon print version of record.3-11-022488-7 Includes bibliographical references and index. Frontmatter -- Contents -- Chapter 1 Introduction -- Chapter 2 The López social network and its proverbs -- Chapter 3 Proverbs mean more than they say -- Chapter 4 Proverbs do more than they mean -- Chapter 5 Toward praxis: Linking the saying with the thinking -- Chapter 6 The academic stakes of language use -- Chapter 7 Beyond school halls -- BackmatterGrounded primarily in the ethnography of communication and aligned with the multidisciplinarity of discourse analysis, the book examines the use of proverbs in the daily life of a social network of Mexican-origin transnational families in Chicago and Michoacán, Mexico. Various and detailed analyses of actual proverb use reveal that proverbs in this particular population function as a highly contextualized communicative strategy that serves four discrete social functions: to argue, to advise, to establish rapport, and to entertain. Proposing that the social and cognitive aspects of language use must be combined for a complete understanding of how such genres of language are actually used by regular people in daily life, the author shows how ordinary people use sophisticated cognitive processes to interpret the socially-relevant meanings of proverbs in everyday conversation. The book provides an unusual mix of contextualized discourse analysis that is ethnographic, linguistic, and cognitive, yielding much needed insight into a segment of the Mexican-origin population of the Midwestern U.S., a population whose increasing importance and size is often mentioned, but about which precious few linguistic studies have been conducted. The volume not only helps to fill this void but it is also one of the few studies that focuses on the impact of transnationalism on linguistic practices, regardless of cultural group. Departing from the conventional approach of ignoring the role of everyday-language use in order to focus exclusively on culture, economics, or migrant patterns, the book makes linguistic practice the central issue, and thus affirms that it is language that weaves together the two distant sites of transnational communities, providing a fertile area for understanding the perspectives of the transmigrants themselves.
