Construction the Third Way, Managing Cooperation and Competition in Construction

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book describes current best practice in managing construction. It is based on case studies of leading practice responding to demands from customers that construction match the value and quality that international competition is forcing on their own businesses. The case studies show that major customers now partner with construction firms to find more efficient ways of working. The resulting best practice adds to these cooperative approaches a drive for efficiency and innovation basedon benchmarks of world class performance that empower teams to set themselves competitive targets. So the new approach balances cooperation and competition. This is why Professor John Bennett`s book is called ``Construction: The Third Way.`` The third way in modern politics balances the extremes of cooperation and competition in the interests of the whole community. At its best it encourages sustainable economic growth within a fair society. These aims are echoed in leading… [detailed...]

Constructional Approaches to English Grammar (Topics in English Linguistics)

Description: This collection of articles brings together new research from both established and emerging international experts in the study of English grammar, all of whom have engaged with the notion of `construction` in their work. The research here is concerned with both synchrony and diachrony, with the relationship between Construction Grammar and other linguistic theories, and with a number of issues in the study of grammar, such as raising and control phenomena, transitivity, relative clause structure, the syntax of gerunds, attributive and predicative uses of adjectives, modality, and grammaticalization. Some of the articles are written within a constructional framework, while others highlight potential problems with constructional approaches to English grammar, some of the articles are based on data collected from corpora, some on introspection, some of the articles suggest potential developments for diachronic construction grammar, while others seek to compare Construction Grammar with… [detailed...]

Constructions of Deviance: Social Power, Context, and Interaction

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This text is the industry standard for publishing the most recent and relevant articles in the field of deviance, by demonstrating to students how the concepts and theories of deviance can be applied to the world around them. The authors include both theoretical analyses and ethnographic illustrations of how deviance is socially constructed, organized, and managed. The Adlers challenge the reader to see the diversity and pervasiveness of deviance in society by covering a wide variety of deviant acts represented throughout the text. Most importantly, the Adler and Adler present deviance as a component of society and examine the construction of deviance in terms of differential social power. The book takes an `interactionist` or `constructionist` perspective on deviance, looking at the processes in society that create deviance. The authors have selected studies that are ethnographic in character, focusing on the experiences of deviants, the deviant-making process, and the ways in which… [detailed...]

Constructions of Female Homoeroticism in Early Modern Drama (Early Modern Cultural Studies)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Constructions of Female Homoeroticism in Early Modern Drama explores textual representations of love and desire between female characters in a number of plays written between 1580 and 1660. The work argues that playwrights of late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century England recognized and constructed richly diverse tropes of female homoerotic desire. This book analyzes a significant body of dramatic texts, many identified for the first time, that reveal the way playwrights conceived of desire between women, including Philaster, Hymen`s Triumph, The Lover`s Melancholy, The Doubtful Heir, A Christian Turn`d Turk, Orgula , and others.

Constructive Chaos: Interactional Coherence in Asynchronous Learning Environments

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Numerous studies have affirmed the value of asynchronous online communication. Some researchers, however, have suggested that asynchronous discussions are too often neither interactive nor coherent. This research explores interactional coherence in asynchronous learning environments using Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST). Findings include that asynchronous discussions are structurally dynamic, that the prevalence of argumentation varies considerably from group to group, and that topic drift, so common in asynchronous discussions, does not occur as a matter of chance. Participants use topic drift in order to adapt discussion to a topic of preference. As such, topics do not drift so much as they are pushed and pulled. The application of rhetorical networks as a directed graph theory for representing the semantics of asynchronous interaction has interesting implications for online pedagogy, as well as for future technology development.
