Insécurité linguistique dans la francophonie (Collection 101)
by Annette BoudreauVous êtes-vous déjà demandé si vous parliez le français qui convient ? Avez-vous déjà eu honte de votre manière de parler ou de la manière de parler des gens de votre communauté ? Si oui, cet ouvrage vous aidera à mieux comprendre les mécanismes qui régissent ces comportements langagiers. L’insécurité linguistique, fréquente dans la francophonie, serait issue de la façon dont la langue française s’est développée, de l’idée d’une norme unique et d’une vision unitaire et uniforme du français, qui perdure et qui est à la base d’exclusions sociales. Cet ouvrage décrit le phénomène de l’insécurité linguistique, son histoire, ses manifestations, et ses retentissements. Il porte précisément sur l’insécurité linguistique dans la francophonie et puise ses exemples dans la francophonie canadienne.Cet essai propose une analyse des principales manifestations du continuum qu’est l’insécurité linguistique, de l’hypercorrection – sa forme la plus légère – à la honte et au silence. Il explore les liens entre insécurité linguistique et diglossie, soit les rapports de domination entre groupes de personnes qui parlent des langues différentes ou entre personnes qui parlent la même langue. Enfin, il examine le rôle joué par les idéologies linguistiques et sociales dans la construction identitaire, idéologies masquées qui régissent les discours et qui agissent sur les comportements langagiers.

Integrated Sensing and Communications
by Yonina C. Eldar Fan Liu Christos MasourosThe coming generations of wireless network technologies will serve, not only as a means of connecting physical and digital environments, but also to set the foundation for an intelligent world in which all aspects are interconnected, sensed, and endowed with intelligence. Beyond merely providing communication capabilities, future networks will have the capacity to "see" and interpret the physical world. This development compels us to re-imagine the design of current communication infrastructures and terminals, taking into account crucial aspects such as fundamental constraints and tradeoffs, information extraction and processing technologies, issues of public security and privacy, as well as the emergence of numerous new applications. This field of research is known as Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC), and it has ushered in a paradigm shift towards the omnipresence of radio devices.This book provides the first comprehensive introduction to the ISAC theoretical and practical framework. Each chapter is authored by a group of world-leading experts, including over 10 IEEE Fellows. Readers can expect to gain both a broad overview and detailed technical insights into the latest ISAC innovations.

Integrated Terrestrial and Non-Terrestrial Networks (Synthesis Lectures on Communications)
by Muhammad Ali Jamshed Ali NaumanThis book aims to address a wide range of topics in wireless/satellite communications to tackle the issues related to the integration of terrestrial networks (TN) with non-terrestrial networks (NTN). In Release 17, the third-generation partnership project (3GPP) proposed the standardization of NTN to allow 5G-based TN to support NTN. According to Release 17, the NTN will consist of satellites, with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and high-altitude platforms (HAPs) regarded as specific use cases of NTN. Similar to the Global Positioning System (GPS), signals based on NTN are unable to provide indoor coverage, as these signals are attenuated and scattered by roofs, walls, etc. Moreover, power and delay are critical factors that restrict a cellular-enabled mobile handset from achieving reliability, seamless coverage, and low latency while relying on NTN. This book has brought together multidisciplinary contributors in the field of wireless/satellite communications to identify and present technical challenges and recent results related to the design of energy-efficient, delay-tolerant, and enhanced coverage-based integrated TN and NTN. Given that challenges and future aspects are also considered, the book covers a wide variety of subject categories and would therefore benefit a larger readership in the scientific community.

Integration Through Law: ASEAN as an Actor in International Fora
by Jürgen Rüland Nguitragool, Paruedee and Rüland, Jürgen Paruedee NguitragoolASEAN as an Actor in International Fora addresses a blind spot in ASEAN research and in comparative regionalism studies by assessing why, how, when and to what extent ASEAN member governments achieve a collective presence in global fora. Written for academic researchers and practitioners working in areas such as international relations, political science and international law, it examines ASEAN's negotiating behavior with a novel four-point cohesion typology. The authors argue that ASEAN's 'cognitive prior' and its repository of cooperation norms have affected ASEAN's negotiation capacities, formats, strategies and cohesion in international fora. Using two case studies - one on ASEAN's cohesion in the WTO agricultural negotiations and one on UN negotiations on forced labor in Myanmar - they examine ASEAN's collective actions at different stages of negotiation, in different issue areas and in different negotiating fora. The book concludes by providing recommendations for strengthening ASEAN's international negotiation capacities.

Integrationism and the Self: Reflections on the Legal Personhood of Animals (Routledge Advances in Communication and Linguistic Theory)
by Christopher HuttonIn recent years a set of challenging questions have arisen in relation to the status of animals; their treatment by human beings; their cognitive abilities; and the nature of their feelings, emotions, and capacity for suffering. This ground-breaking book draws from integrational semiology to investigate arguments around the rights of certain animals to be recognized as legal persons, thereby granting them many of the protections enjoyed by humans. In parallel with these debates, the question of the legal personality of artificial intelligence (AI) systems has moved to the forefront of legal debate, with entities such as robots, cyborgs, self-driving cars, and genetically engineered beings under consideration. Integrationism offers a framework within which the wider theoretical and practical issues can be understood. Law requires closure and categorical answers; integrationism is an open-ended form of inquiry that is seen as removed from particular controversies. This book argues that the two domains can be brought together in a challenging and productive synthesis. A much-needed resource to examine the heart of this fascinating debate and a must-read for anyone interested in semiology, linguistics, philosophy, ethics, and law.
Integrative Framing Analysis: Framing Health through Words and Visuals (Routledge Research in Communication Studies)
by Viorela DanMuch of framing scholarship focuses either exclusively on the analysis of words or of visuals. This book aims to address this gap by proposing a six-step approach to the analysis of verbal frames, visual frames and the interplay between them—an integrative framing analysis. This approach is then demonstrated through a study investigating the way words and visuals are used to frame people living with HIV/AIDS in various communication contexts: the news, public service announcements and special interest publications. This application of integrative framing analysis reveals differences between verbal frames and visual frames in the same messages, underscoring the importance of looking at these frames together.
Integrierte Unternehmenskommunikation in international tätigen Unternehmen
by Agnes SchipanskiAgnes Schipanski entwickelt auf Basis einer umfangreichen Literaturanalyse ein umfassendes Modell der international integrierten Unternehmenskommunikation, das transnational orientiert ist. Dabei spielen Managementfunktionen, die transnationale und transkulturelle Strategie sowie die Prozessorganisation eine zentrale Rolle. Kern des Modells ist ein Reorganisationsprozess, dessen Ergebnis eine transnational modulare Kommunikationsorganisation mit Netzwerkcharakter ist. Sie zeichnet sich durch modulare Organisationseinheiten, die Dezentralisierung von strategischen Entscheidungskompetenzen und ein integriertes Kommunikationsnetzwerk aus. Das Modell wendet die Autorin auf das internationale Landtechnikunternehmen CLAAS in Form einer Feldstudie, Einzelfallanalysen und Vergleichsstudien an.
