Global Vessel-Source Maritime Pollution Governance—Technical Innovation and Policy Orientation
The maritime industry plays an important role in international trade activities and the global economy. It is estimated that international shipping carries approximately 80% of global trade by volume and more than 70% by value. However, increasing maritime activities have had a negative impact on the marine environment and human health. For example, in November 2002, a tanker carrying 77000 tons of fuel oil sank in the Bay of Biscay, which polluted thousands of kilometers of Western European coasts, rivers, streams and swamps. Oil spills caused by ship accidents and other pollution associated with maritime activities have attracted considerable attention in the research community. A large number of studies on shipping pollution have been conducted across different disciplines. However, new challenges are emerging in maritime operation and management, leading to research questions related to intelligent technology and environmental protection, maritime pollution and governance, maritime accidents and environmental emergency.

THE GREAT MASTER CHAPTER 32
THE GREAT MASTER CHAPTER 32 At this moment, facing Chu Xiu, Fang Qi Shao also had the same feeling, like an enhanced version of Zong Xuan. Not only was the defensive power extremely terrifying, even the explosive power was extremely powerful. Chu Xiu smiled, not saying a word. In just a flash, the Buddhist light transformed into a demonic energy that filled the sky, and the Heavenly Demon Feather in his hand slashed out, hatred filled the sky, demons devouring the world! Chu Xiu was about to completely control the power of the Hatred Saber. Except for not being able to trigger intense hatred in the opponent's heart like the Hatred Saber, the power was almost no different from the real Hatred Saber, but Chu Xiu did not need to use mental power to suppress it, so the consumption was very low.

Law and Politics in Modern China
This is an original interdisciplinary study of Chinese law, its language, and political institution. Evolving within a complex literary framework over thousands of years, Chinese language has lost its conceptual distinctiveness to its multilevel and overlapping meanings and connotations. Chinese law has become inflated with contrary rulings and exceptions. This mass of rules requires an extra-lingual (legal) authority to redefine boundaries and specify applications. This book follows and continues the author's, The Boundaries of Meaning and the Formation of Law (McGill University Press) by illustrating how language shapes the formation, application, and administration of law in various cultural environments. Law and Politics in Modern China is an important book for those interested in Chinese history, culture, law, and politics. It also provides refreshing insights about the way that law continues to function after its language matures and creates contradictions and loopholes within its system of rules--one of the most important issues facing Western legal administration in the immediate future.
Historical journey in a linguistic archipelago
This volume offers a selection of papers presented during the 14th International Conference on the History of the Language Sciences (ICHoLS XIV, Paris, 2017). Part I brings together studies dealing with descriptive concepts. First examined is the notion of “accidens” in Latin grammar and its Greek counterparts. Other papers address questions with a strong echo in today’s linguistics: localism and its revival in recent semantics and syntax, the origin of the term “polysemy” and its adoption through Bréal, and the difficulties attending the description of prefabs, idioms and other “fixed expressions”. This first part also includes studies dealing with representations of linguist...
