Inflation

22 Сентября 2013, реферат

Inflation is the loss in purchasing power of a currency unit such as the dollar, usually expressed as a general rise in the prices of goods and services. A classic example is the Great Inflation of the Roman Empire. Successive emperors replaced a steadily increasing fraction of the silver in their ancient currency, the denarius, with base metals like bronze or copper. As a result prices rose inexorably despite repeated attempts to restrain them through legislation. Diocletian, rather than taking responsibility for the debasement, attributed the rapid inflation of his day to the avarice of his subjects. His famous edict of a.d. 301 threatened with death any vendor who charged prices exceeding official limits. But inflation ran along unhindered for another century until an alternative currency, an undepreciated gold coin known to Shakespeare as the bezant, became the customary unit of account, spreading throughout Europe and lasting well into the Middle Ages.

Inside Unilever: The Evolving Transnational Connpany

03 Мая 2013, реферат

These days, Unilever is often described as one of the foremost transnational companies. Yet our organization of diverse operations around the world is not the outcome of a conscious effort to become what is now known among academics as a transnational. When Unilever was founded in 1930 as a Dutch-British company, it produced soap, processed foods, and a wide array of other consumer goods in many countries. Ever since then, the company has evolved mainly through a Darwinian system of retaining what was useful and rejecting what no longer worked-in other words, through actual practice as a business responding to be marketplace.

Is There Still a Role for Judgment in Decision-Making?

12 Декабря 2013, статья

In the last several years, a veritable tsunami of advice on how to make decisions has hit the Internet and what few shelves remain in our local bookstores. The advice is a distant relative of early ideas about decision theory in which we were advised to construct decision trees, mapping outcomes, attaching values to each one, and estimating probabilities that various combinations of outcomes might occur. Judgment entered into the construction of the resulting "decision trees," but the process itself was a way of injecting a certain amount of objectivity and analysis into the decision to be made.

Iнтеркультурна комунікація російської та англійської мов

23 Марта 2014, курсовая работа

Підвищенний інтерес до культур різних народів та місця комунікації в міжкультурних контактах свідчать про справжнє пожвавлення інтересу до проблем культури, адже кожна мова є не лише набором різних мовних структур, а й дзеркалом культури власного народу. Наразі, у світлі глобалізаційних процесів, коли російська нація розвивається у напрямку до Європи та Америки, налагоджуючи контакт з провідними світовими державами, обмінюючись досвідом та спілкуючись з передовими європейськими країнами, такою важливою стає необхідність знати іноземні мови, зокрема, англійську, яка є міжнародною мовою спілкування. Ця взаємодія, безумовно, має безпосередній вплив на формування лексичного складу сучасної російської мови, бо все частіше у політичному, економічному, культурному та художньому дискурсах зустрічаємо слова іншомовного, а саме, англійського походження, які вимагають детального вивчення, дослідження та аналізу їх функціонування у різних понятійних сферах – і в цьому полягає актуальність нашого дослідження.

Japanese political system

04 Июня 2013, доклад

Unlike the American political system and the British political system which essentially have existed in their current form for centuries, the present Japanese political system is a much more recent construct dating from Japan's defeat in the Second World War and its subsequent occupation by the United States. The post-war constitution of 1947 is an anti-militarist document which includes the renunciation of the right to wage war and prohibits the maintenance of armed forces although later a limited self-defence force was permitted.
The constitution was drawn up under the Allied occupation. It is a rigid document and, since its adoption, no major amendment has been made to it.

Kazakhstan foreign Policy

23 Сентября 2013, реферат

Almost immediately upon its declaration of independence, the republic gained a seat in the United Nations, membership in the CSCE, and a seat on the coordinating council of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO--see Glossary). The United States and other nations also gave Kazakstan quick recognition, opening embassies in Almaty and receiving Kazakstani ambassadors in return. Its status as an apparent nuclear power got Kazakstan off to a fast start in international diplomacy. President Nazarbayev became a signatory to the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) and its so-called Lisbon Protocol by which Belarus, Kazakstan, and Ukraine pledged to eliminate nuclear weapons in the 1990s. In addition, Nazarbayev was able to negotiate US$1.2 billion in prepayment by the United States against sale of the enriched uranium contained in Kazakstan's warheads, as well as another US$311 million for maintenance and conversion of existing missile silos.

Kreditinstitute in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland

18 Января 2013, реферат

Der Übergang unseres Landes zu dem freien Markt war ein Zeugnis von den immer wieder zunehmenden Prozessen der Globalisierung der Weltwirtschaft.Die Einführung von dem Euro näherte einen Tag, wenn es möglich wird, über einen Weltmarkt und eine Währung zu sprechen. In diesem Sinne steht vor uns die Aufgabe der erfolgreichen Integration in die Weltwirtschaft. Dieser Weg scheint dornenreich zu sein: niemand wird genau prognostizieren, wie die Wirtschaftslage in zwei-drei Jahren wird. Die Aufgabe der Wirtschaftswissenschaftler ist die Untersuchung der Systemunterschiede, was den Prozess der Integrierung optimieren lässt.

La souveraineté aujourd’hui

16 Мая 2013, реферат

Une définition très complète de la souveraineté est donnée par Carré de Malberg dans sa Contribution à la théorie générale de l’État : « La souveraineté, c’est le caractère suprême d’un pouvoir suprême, en ce que pouvoir n’en admette aucun autre au-dessus de lui-même, en concurrence avec lui. Quand on dit que l’État est souverain, il faut donc entendre par là que, dans la sphère où son autorité est appelée à s’exercer, il détient une puissance qui ne relève d’aucun autre pouvoir et qui ne peut être égalée par aucun autre pouvoir. Ainsi entendue, la souveraineté de l’État est habituellement présentée comme double : souveraineté externe et interne. »

Land Cadastre

12 Августа 2014, доклад

In the USSR, the keeping of the land cadastre is provided for in the Basic Principles of Land Legislation of the USSR and the Union Republics of 1968 (art. 46). A uniform system is used throughout the country for the national accounting of the land. The system includes registration data on land allotment and use, the account of the size and quality of the land, data on soil appraisal, and the economic assessment of all the lands of the single united national land fund. These data are essential for the organization of a rational utilization of land and its conservation, the planning of the national economy, the rational distribution and specialization of agricultural production, and land reclamation, as well as for the implementation of other economic measures in connection with land utilization. The procedure of the keeping of the cadastre, the prescribed forms of documentation, and the intervals for updating and specifying the relevant information are established by the Council of Ministers of the USSR.

Law of Moses

07 Апреля 2014, доклад

The Law of Moses or Torah of Moses. The "Law of Moses" in Ancient Israel is distinguished from other legal codes in the ancient Near East by its reference to offense against a deity rather than against society.

This law was added "till the seed should come," and that seed was Christ. The ritual and ceremony of Moses' law pointed forward to Christ's sacrifice.

autocratic or authoritarian
participative or democratic

Lecture 6 Phonetic Stylistic Devices and Graphical Means

09 Февраля 2013, реферат

The stylistic approach to the utterance is not confined to its structure and sense. There is another thing to be taken into account which, in a certain type of communication plays an important role. This is the way a word, a phrase or a sentence sounds. The sound of most words taken separately will have little or no aesthetic value. A word may acquire a desired phonetic effect only in combination with other words. The way a separate word sounds may produce a certain euphonic effect, but this is a matter of individual perception and feeling and therefore subjective.

Lectures in Theoretical Grammar

25 Апреля 2012, реферат

Man is not well defined as “Homo sapiens” (“man with wisdom”). For what do we mean by wisdom? It has not been proved so far that animals do not possess it. Those of you who have pets can easily prove the contrary. Most recently anthropologists have started defining human beings as “man the toolmaker”. However, apes can also make primitive tools.

Lexical and Grammatical Means of Expressing Supposition in Modern English

17 Декабря 2013, курсовая работа

Modality – is a multifold phenomenon, and therefore in the linguistic literature we can find different thoughts concerning the essence of this phenomenon. By its nature modality expresses an action which depends on the attitude of the speaker it does not refer directly to any characteristics of the event, but simply to the status of the proposition. There are different types of modality and the topicality of our term paper is caused by the necessity to improve knowledge about the term modality and its expression. The problem of modality as an object of interdisciplinary knowledge that is relevant to the modern science, has long been interested in the humanities scholars working in different fields research - logicians, linguists, psychologists, semioticians. A case of studying modality is complicated by multi-pronged approach to it, which leads to different interpretations.

Lexical Expressive Means and Stylistic Devices

08 Апреля 2014, реферат

Words in a context may acquire additional lexical meanings not fixed in the dictionaries, what we have called contextual meanings. The latter may sometimes deviate from the dictionary meaning to such a degree that the new meaning even becomes the opposite of the primary meaning. What is known in linguistics as transferred meaning is practically the interrelation between two types of lexical meaning: dictionary and contextual.

Lexical features of writing a slogan

21 Октября 2013, реферат

As we know, historically, advertising began as a kind of text, not accompanied by any image. All the functions inherent in advertising - to attract attention, create interest, to inform the consumer about the product and its qualities and the potential impact on the consumer, urging him to make a purchase, - contained in the text. In our time, advertising has become almost the most common genre, and the classic ad divided between verbal and visual components. It is therefore necessary to find out whether the text is not lost (verbal part) in today's advertising message of its importance and whether he can continue to perform their traditional functions.

Lexical peculiarities of American English

08 Декабря 2014, курсовая работа

The variety of English spoken in the USA has received the name of American English. The term variant or variety appears most appropriate for several reasons. American English cannot be called a dialect although it is a regional variety, because it has a literary normalised form called Standard American (or American National Standard), whereas by definition given above a dialect has no literary form. Neither is it a separate language, as some American authors, like H.L. Mencken, claimed, because it has neither grammar nor vocabulary of its own. From the lexical point of view we shall have to deal only with a heterogeneous set of Americanisms.

Lexical problems of translation

17 Октября 2013, доклад

As a rule, the object of translation is not a list of separate lexical units but a coherent text in which the SL words make up an integral whole. Though each word in the language has its own meaning, the actual information it conveys in a text depends, to a great extent, on its contextual environment. Generally speaking, the meaning of any word in the text cannot be understood and translated without due regard to the specific context in which it is actualized. Some words, however, are less sensitive to the contextual influence than others. There are words with definite meanings which are retained in most contexts and are relatively context-free. Context-free words are mainly found among proper and geographical names, titles of magazines and newspapers, names of various firms, organizations, ships, aircraft and the like, as well as among technical terms used by experts in all fields of human endeavour.
