...This book proposes a minimalist approach to linguistic theory that builds on the theory of principles and parameters and, in particular, on principles of economy of derivation and representation. The minimalist framework takes Universal Grammar as providing a unique computational system...

...This chapter uses Merleau-Ponty’s conception of language as an embodied expressive behavior to begin filling out the Heideggerian framework. It shows that conceiving language as the expression of lived sense, linked with both a biological body and the perspective of speakers’ experience of language...

... views complement Merleau-Ponty’s and Heidegger’s in filling out the Heideggerian framework, before summarizing how the resultant phenomenological conception of language defines language’s role in world disclosure by combining a general picture of language as language-in-the-world with a specific view...

... in Chapters 4–9. The chapter provides an integrated overview of the interdisciplinary research framework developed to analyze the costs and benefits of the two policy options, and then describes the research components of the integrated analysis in sequence: economy and energy use, atmospheric emissions, air...

...This chapter focuses on institutional frameworks for disseminating required knowledge for the provision of global public goods (GPGs). It analyzes the specific coordination needs of the generation of knowledge regarding global problems faced in GPG provision as well as potential solutions...

...This chapter describes a metalevel framework for coordinating the activities of a community of learners to create an integrated learning system. The metalevel framework is organized around learning goals, which are formulated through introspective reasoning to identify problems and requirements...

..., playing a crucial role in the formulation of a legal framework for the allocation of natural resources and patterns of environmental changes on the basis of overall political, economic context. The chapter reviews different interpretations of race and racism, describing the significance of each...

..., that have impacted and still affect the industry today. Through their examination, it will be easier to understand how countries and companies can achieve a global competitive advantage or encounter failure in the rapidly changing industry. Using an economic framework for the analysis, the chapter showcases...

.... This chapter argues that the computational science of collapse, which describes the manner and likelihood of failures in complex systems, provides a framework in which to use computational modeling for relating mechanisms to behavioral outcomes. This science, known as reliability engineering...

.... Alternatively, a risk prediction framework provides a more pragmatic approach, because it aims to develop tests and measures which generate clinically useful information. Computational approaches may have an important role to play here. This chapter presents an example of a risk-prediction framework, which...

...Finally, chapter 7, the Conclusion, proposes a new framework for understanding environmental justice action in cities. The right to a healthy environment requires certain physical and psychological dimensions of community rebuilding and place remaking. For residents, this right cannot be separated...

... as transformation in life processes that would not have been plausible in the absence of scaffolding. The introduction summarizes the complementary perspectives of the three co-editors, which served as an initial integrating framework for exploring a shared understanding of biology, culture and cognition...

... employs a cognitivist framework for understanding what laws are in the business of doing. It is also argued that some of Cartwright's statements echo certain of the assumptions of the Empiricists she is criticizing—assumptions which we would do better to abandon. Causal powers Laws Ceteris paribus...

...This chapter develops a comprehensive ethical framework that can be used to understand, analyze, and perhaps even predict the ethical issues computer games pose, as well as the possible solutions that developers, players, and theorists can apply. The framework applies two different and consolidated...

...This chapter draws on theories, particularly the scholarship of Antonio Gramsci, in offering a strategic framework that considers power relations. It argues that the world is not the same as it was back in 2008 before the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Copenhagen. It explores...

... dominated by special interest groups who use (and abuse) the concept to advance hidden agendas. The chapters range from broad theoretical views to case studies, examining the multiple factors that drive competitiveness.
