本稿は、先行研究で示された「ビジネス英語スピーチにおける概念メタファの時系列的構造」をさらに明確にするために、アメリカ大統領の政治スピーチを新たに比較検証することで、ビジネススピーチ特有の概念構造とは何かを明からにするものである。まずは先行研究で分析された2005年~2010年のビジネススピーチ60本に、同じく2005年~2010年に発表されたブッシュ/オバマ両大統領による20本の政治スピーチを加え、合計で20万語を超えるコーパスを独自に構築した。それらを先行研究と同じ手法で分析・比較検証した結果、概念メタファの「(1)量的」「(2)分布的」支配性に加えて、先行研究で新たに立証された「(3)時系列的」支配性の存在が、政治スピーチにおいても確認された。さらに、メタファグラムによる比較分析では、「メタファの量的変化」が、政治スピーチでは「均等な分散」と関連する一方、ビジネススピーチでは「(3)時系列的支配性」と高い相関を示すという違いが判明した。メタファの「量的推移」と「時系列的な起伏」が相関関係にあるのがビジネススピーチ特有の概念構造であるという発見をふまえ、ビジネススピーチのメタファ分析における時系列的概念の重要性が、改めて支持される結果となった。

This paper explores the origins of the formation of industrial agglomeration to identify strategic trends in establishing new business facilities in regional Japan. The formation of agglomeration is often due to historical backgrounds; however, this study reveals that developing urban infrastructure in advance and leveraging human resources and existing industries unique to the locale can in effect lead to the establishment of new business facilities. This paper also shows corporate strategies capitalizing on the circulative clustering forces (forward linkage effects and backward linkage effects) that arise from the formation of agglomeration is critical for sustaining and developing industrial agglomeration. Considering the ongoing changes in international structures of division of labor, the paper views locating business facilities to a region is to be in part of the global supply chain, with areas in which the region is weak to be aggressively handed off to external economies (industrial outsourcing). Furthermore, the study also shows that promoting innovation and interaction with human capital outside the region are vital to ensure the competitive superiority of specialized industries of the region.

本稿は、ビジネス英語スピーチにおける「主要な概念メタファ」を定義するための新たな指標として、「時系列的支配性」を提起し、その意義を検証するものである。時系列的支配性は、従来の量的支配性・分布的支配性に続く第3の要素として、「スピーチの時間的推移」と「主要な概念メタファ」の関連を示す指標である。その提起および検証にあたり、本研究では、まず2010 年に発表された10 本のビジネススピーチを手作業で分析し、概念メタファの検索語リストを構築する。続いて、その検索語をもとに、コーパス分析による機械的処理と、手作業の確認作業を経て、全スピーチをメタファグラム分析によって時系列的に解析する。その上で、量的・分布的・時系列的の各分析データから、各スピーチの「主要な概念メタファ」を求め、それらを比較検証することで、時系列的支配性の存在意義を考察していく。検証研究の結果、「時系列的」という第3の支配性は、従来から実績のある量的支配性と一定の関連性を維持しつつも、分布的支配性からは独立した指標として機能することが明らかとなり、時系列的支配性の重要性が示された。

Japanese manufacturers changed their international strategy of increasing export of domestic products for one of expanding overseas production, in 1980s in most cases. Indeed their direct investments in othercountries still keep increasing, and yet on the other hand, forming strategic alliances in international operations has become a measure of great importance. This paper attempts, first of all, to review and examine a number of leading theories of business alliances. Then on the basis of this analysis, two cases of strategic alliances are considered: the alliances into which two Japanese companies have entered with overseas companies – Sumitomo Rubber Industries with Goodyear of USA, and Daikin Industries with Gree Appliances of China – in order to make clear the main features of and the distinctions between the alliances. And in view of the fact that these overseas partners are based in two separate home countries on largely different levels of development, special attention will be paid to what effects the differences of their respective home economies will have. In the process of analysis, several theories of strategic alliances are used, and are shown to be effective and valid methods of inquiry.

Abstract: This study aims at disclosing different stages of the psychological process which lung cancer patients pass through after they are notified of their cancer, in order to see if these stages are connected with the stages of the disease. From patients' own words and behaviors, recorded by themselves in their treatment reports, those which may reveal their psychological stages after notification are extracted and dissected in terms of the division of 'psychological states' defined as Phase I, II and III on the Massie & Holland model. As a result, three points come to light. Firstly, the disease stages, presence or absence of treatments or metastasis, affect psychological states. In the second place, “shock” and “denial” in Phase I and “distress”, “anxiety” and “fear” in Phase II last longer in patients on Stage IV than in those on Stage II. And lastly, immedately after the notification “efforts for adaptation” of Phase III appear more remarkably in patients on Stage II than in those on Stage IV.

A Physical Assessment Classes is designed on the basis of a theory of performance assessment. It is intended as a means of finding out ways of making more accurate measurements of how far the students have gone to acquire nursing skills. This study examines those main effects which a special program of the course had on the students concerned when it was conducted in April - July, 2014. When performance activities are really so interesting and attractive to students, and when the assessment standards and processes are disclosed, they can have a clear idea of what they need to know on their way to professional practices of nursing care. By critically examining themselves and evaluating one another, they can learn to apply their knowledge and skills in the most proper way that their situation allows. They can learn ways of improving themselves.

In this paper I focused on Johann Sebastian Bach’s Sunday services, Church Cantatas, and Catholicism in Leipzig in the 18th Century. First of all, I tried to examine the handwritten worship notes by Johann Christoph Rost, sexton at St. Thomas in Leipzig. Secondly, I treated of Bach’s Church Cantatas which were composed in the Leipzig era from 1723 to 1748 and I also investigated basic characteristics of Bach’s Church Cantatas in the 1720s BWV1, 1730s BWV51, and 1740s BWV69. Thirdly, I briefly touched on Catholicism as the subject of universal. And the reason I used Günther Stiller’s “Johann Sebastian Bach and Liturgical Life in Leipzig” (1982) is because this book includes concrete and credible expositions.

This essay tries to examine those discussions on the propriety of adopting an open-door policy towards Japanese culture which were carried out in the South Korean Diet during the years 1994-2003.On October 8, 1998, a joint statement concerning “a new Japan-Korea [Korea-Japan] partnership towards the 21st century” was made by Kim Daejung and Keizo Obuchi (who were President of ROK and Prime Minister of Japan respectively). This was where the process of deregulating the introduction of Japanese culture into Korean cultural soil came to a decisive turning point. The open-door policy towards Japanese culture actually got started. It is to be noted that up to that year there had been vehement and serious discussions and arguments about the issue, and that after the joint announcement of 1998 discussions and arguments went on. During the period 1994-200, some argued against deregulating; others accepted the process of opening the door because of the inevitability of the cultural trends; still others stressed the need of suspending the judgment as it was too soon to determine the merit/demerit of the policy. In this essay the author considers these arguments and discussions in terms of the political and historical context of the period.In what political and historical conditions did those discussions and arguments occur? What changes did political and historical situations go through with the going on of the debates and controversies? This is what the author is going to investigate into.

Evaluating a firm's merit on the basis of its financial history alone is not enough to determine its potential.An increasing number of financial institutions are focusing attention on "knowledge asset management reports" when considering the value of a firm. Why are "intangibles" and "knowledge assets" of a firm attracting more and more attention? This is exactly what this paper examines in order to establish the importance of "knowledge asset management" in developing potentialities of a firm. As a matter of fact, the "knowledge assets" concept is becoming more popular than the accounting concept of "intangibles" in business. This study inquires into the origins of the "knowledge assets" concept, making clear the logical distinction between the two categories. Furthermore, the significance of successful "knowledge asset management" based on an accurate understanding and proper use of "knowledge assets" will be considered, together with a prospect of development of the "knowledge assets" concept in Japan.

This research is an investigation into the relationships between factors defining the context of each scene and behavior signaling for a request, making a contrastive analysis between two film remakes and theiroriginal films – the Japanese-original version of Shall We Dance? (2005) and the Hollywood-original version Ghost (2011) –.Focusing on urgency, obligation, cost, vertical distance, and intimacy, it is confirmed that urgency greatly affects request expressions both in Japanese and English. In Japanese, vertical distance and intimacy arereally important and higher status and intimate relations can result in avoidance of care in choosing of polite expressions, followed by obligation, when it is not a matter of great urgency, but in English, obligation andcost take precedence over relations between speaker and addressee.

Graham Greene (1904-1991), who is called a Catholic novelist, published Dr Fischer of Geneva or The Bomb Party (1980) when he was seventy six. Although the theme of the story focuses on the limitless greed of human being and the cruel image of almighty God of a man with power and wealth, it admits of various interpretations. This story consists of seventeen sections. Interestingly, the section number 13 is the dramatic turning point of the progression of the story itself and the life of Alfred Jones who is the main character as well as the narrator of this story. And at the scenes of the section number 13, such things as Jones's complicated feelings, signs of his happiness and indications of misfortune about his wife Anna-Luise are presented. In this paper, therefore, I tried to clarify the roles of several things, with focusing on the section number 13 in this story to find out the peculiarity and charms of Greene's literature.

In this essay the author is concerned with the question of what are the family business characteristics of Suntory Holdings Limited that make it an outstanding enterprise with a strong influence on the globalmarkets. Its activities as a prime source of wealth creation and employment have attracted the world’s attention to the business of the Torii and Saji Families. The group's performances of big merger and acquisition (M&A) and business investments have expanded to such a scale that its management activities have a large influence on the market. And this in turn will affect the world economy as well as the national economy of Japan. In view of its operations worldwide, it is pertinent and worthwhile to analyze its ownership structure, composition of stockholders and executive board, and management strategy in order to make clear those main features which make Suntory Holdings Limited a remarkable global economic model playing a powerful role in the 21st-century world economy.

With the rapid growth of cosmetics industry in China since the end of the 20th century, cosmetic companies of other Asian countries have struggled their way into the Chinese market along withmultinational corporations of the world. Shiseido of Japan and AMOREPACIFIC of South Korea, two major Asian groups in this field, have branched out into selling their products in China and continued their operations on this competitive and yet promising market. This paper examines the international strategies of the two companies' activities on the continent in order to make clear the main features of and the distinctions between their strategies. In the process of analysis, a set of theories of international business administration is used, and is shown to be an effective and valid method of inquiry.

本稿は、スピーチコミュニケーションのメタファ分析における「メタファグラム」(造語)に関連し、話者やスピーチを特定するための技術となる「比喩紋」の可能性を考察するものである。スピーチにおける概念メタファの時系列的な表出傾向の推移は、メンタルディスタンス分析によって描写できることが分かっている。ここでの議論は次の2点に絞られる。まず、(1)時系列的な推移状況を、視覚性に富む「メタファグラム」でとらえたとき、その特徴が、話者を特定しうるほどの有意性を持つのかということ。そして、(2)メタファグラムが時系列的特徴を示すとすれば、それは具体的にどのようなものなのかという疑問である。本稿では、先行研究で考察された2人の発表者による6本のスピーチを再検証の素材とし、メタファグラムを構成する個々の要素について、より詳細な統計分析を施して考察を進めた。援用したのは、相関分析、時系列分析、定常化、自己相関分析、そして交差相関分析である。その結果、得られたメタファグラムには、それだけで人物の特定を実証しうるほど統計的に有意な相関性はみられなかった。しかしその一方、メタファグラムによって記録される各メタファ要素の関連性に、隠された「時系列的周期性」が存在することが明らかになった。

Today, cloud computing is essential for our society.Cloud-based services such as mail, calendar or document production provided by Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft, etc. are already common infrastructure.However, it is important to investigate both merit and demerit of introduction of the cloud computing.In this research, we focus our interest to the security of the cloud computing since it is the most concerned topic when end-user plans to introduce the cloud computing to its business.Cloud service provider should include security related terms in their Service Level Agreements (SLA).One of their guidelines is provided by METI in April, 2011.However, the guideline does not mention the difference of standpoint between vendor and end-user, or technical or economical rationality.We claim that vendor and end-user should file a "win-win" SLA to develop healthy cloud computing market.From security point of view, there are items that can be covered by SLA and hardly can be.For example, data divulgation is hardly covered, since it is difficult to estimate the affection once it happens, while data corruption or lost can be covered since it is possible to estimate the amount of damage.However, to protect end-user, it is still preferable that the SLA mentions not only limited items to protect vendor for example cyber-attacks, but also all security related requirements in order to balance end-user's convenience, cost and risk of cloud service use.

Singapore is a multi-racial, multi-cultural, and multi-lingual society founded by modernized and cosmopolitan leaders, including those people commonly known as Straits Chinese.The main characteristics of the Straits Chinese are hybridity and ambiguity of identity.In the context of Singapore’s pluralism, however, hybridity is denied at an official level.Therefore, the contribution of the Straits Chinese to the nation building of Singapore has not attracted much attention since its independence in 1965.However, in the present age of globalization, Singaporean people, as well as scholars, have taken a fresh look at the achievements of the Straits Chinese leaders such as Dr. Lim Boon Keng, a prominent reformer of Chinese society, who was born in colonial Singapore in the late nineteenth century.In this thesis, I examine the thought and activities of Dr. Lim Boon Keng in order to show that this reevaluation provides a new direction for Singapore’s pluralism.

In this paper we will consider the vital question of how the training of accountants ought to be. In the great changes of our society in recent years, accounts has spread to various fields of commercial activities much more quickly and extensively than people imagined.For people who teach accounting, and people who want to work as accountants, teaching methods and learning methods have become more and more important. Focusing on accounting education at universities, we will make clear what kind of problems we have now in the three groups of people in accounting education: general people in society, people who learn and people who teach. Then we will examine the results of investigations of accounting education in other organizations together with our own experiences as accounting instructors in order to show in what direction accounting education ought to be led.

In his Heibiron or On Preparing for War, Miura Goro, one of Generals of Meiji, made a proposal concerning the strategy of national defense. His way of thinking about this matter placed him outside the mainstream of the army because it was quite different from that of the leading faction at the period of mid-Meiji. This group of people, such as Yamagata Aritomo, Katsura Taro, envisioned a strategy of national defense in which mobile power of divisions was to be kept in proper control. In contrast, Miura stressed the importance of a defense strategy which would make it possible to destroy invading enemy or enemies most efficiently at the point where they were to land the island country. This argument led to the idea of establishing “Gokyougun” (national defense army) which consisted of one million people. In this article the author considers Miura’s notion of this strategy and his reasons for thinking it necessary, finally making clear that a radical change in the concept of war was going on in his thought and arguments.

本稿は、自動車産業界のビジネスリーダー、リー・アイアコッカ(クライスラー)とカルロス・ゴーン(日産自動車)が発表したビジネススピーチを対照研究の素材とし、概念メタファーおよびそのメタファー表現の特徴的な役割について考察するものである。両氏のスピーチには、いずれも「工場閉鎖を伴う経営陣の決断を、従業員と地域社会に伝達する」という二者共通の重要な役割がある。今回の研究では、類似の厳しい経営状況下で発表された両スピーチにおけるメタファー表現を手掛かりとし、各概念メタファーの変移傾向を分析することで、両者がいかなるメタファーを用いて、どのように自身の感情を意図通りに伝達(あるいは抑制)しようと試みたのかを考察する。
