“…Moreover, the usefulness of these theories suggests that other theoretical lenses such as semiotics (Smith and Anderson 2007), evolutionary linguistics (Croft 2008), or socio-linguistics (Wardhaugh and Fuller 2015) could also contribute to the investigation of language diversity in business settings. Semiotics, for example, is the study of signs and how they are used to communicate with others (Chandler 2007). Besides considering pragmatic conventions of culturally conditioned language use (Wierzbicka 2003), researchers may examine how differences in prosodic conventions, i.e.…”

A fast growing number of studies demonstrates that language diversity influences almost all management decisions in modern multinational corporations. Whereas no doubt remains about the practical importance of language, the empirical investigation and theoretical conceptualization of its complex and multifaceted effects still presents a substantial challenge. To summarize and evaluate the current state of the literature in a coherent picture informing future research, we systematically review 264 articles on language in international business. We scrutinize the geographic distributions of data, evaluate the field's achievements to date in terms of theories and methodologies, and summarize core findings by individual, group, firm, and country levels of analysis. For each of these dimensions, we then put forward a future research agenda. We encourage scholars to transcend disciplinary boundaries and to draw on, integrate, and test a variety of theories from disciplines such as psychology, linguistics, and neuroscience to gain a more profound understanding of language in international business. We advocate more multi-level studies and cross-national research collaborations and suggest greater attention to potential new data sources and means of analysis.

“…Die geläufigste ist die Abbildung der politischen Haltung beziehungsweise der Parteienzugehörigkeit in einer Typologie, mit der Personen auf einer links-rechts sowie liberal-konservativen Achse eingeordnet werden (Hermann und Leuthold 2003Seitz 1997;Kriesi et al 1996). Gegen eine solche Typologie spricht im hier vorliegenden Fall die einerseits empirisch beobachtete und andererseits wissenschaftlich beschriebene Feststellung, dass politische Entscheidungen auf lokaler Ebene in kleineren und mittelgroßen Gemeinden oft nicht parteipolitisch gefärbt sind, Parteien im Vergleich zu großen Städten weniger Einfluss haben oder oft Parteilose in lokale Exekutivämter gewählt werden (Geser 2002;Ladner und Steiner 2003;Ladner 1994Ladner , 2008Oliver 2001Oliver , 2012a (Chandler 2001;Koch 2011), die dann lauten könnten: Diese Siedlung bietet mehr Lebensqualität als die Nachbarsiedlung, da sie zentraler liegt.…”

“…As a sign, it must have three elements: (1) Object or sign referent; (2) Representamen or sign expression; (3) Interpretant or meaningful sign interpretation (Peirce, cited in Chandler, 2007). The Object or the sign referent refers to a kind of real, concrete, and substantive relationship, the Representamen or the sign expression a type of imaginary and discourse relationship, and the Interpretant or the meaningful sign interpretation the symbolic meaning (Lanigan, 2015).…”

that this new model of China-US big power relations is more like a symbolic sign in foreign affairs rather than a strategic challenge or a threat or an effective and workable mechanism at this moment, and meanwhile analyses this view from diachronic and semiotic perspectives. The analyses reveal that the new model functions as a symbolic sign, signifying to the world that conceptually the two big powers have a good and harmonious relationship.Keywords: a new model of China-US big power relations, a symbolic sign, diachronic perspective, semiotic perspective
