Book Description
Steven Ericson has written what promises to be the most thorough study of the Japanese railroad industry in the English language. In addition to the body of research on the industry itself, Ericson has provided an astute analysis of the politics of development and the relationship between state and private enterprise in the Japanese railroad industry during the Meiji period. He explores the economic role of government and the nature of state-business relations in the course of Japan's modern transformation, and at the same time challenges the tendency of current scholarship to minimize the role of the Japanese government as well as commercial banks in Meiji industrialization. By providing a fresh perspective on the "strong state/weak state" debate through detailed analysis of the 1906-1907 railway nationalization, Ericson's study sheds new light on the Meiji origins of modern Japanese industrial policy and politics, filling a major gap in the available literature on the Meiji political economy.

Book Description
How do participants display affectivity in social interaction? Based on recordings of authentic everyday conversations and radio phone-ins, this study offers a fine-grained analysis of how recipients of affect-laden informings deploy sound objects, i.e. interjections (oh, ooh and ah) and paralinguistic signals (whistle and clicks), for responsive displays of affectivity. Examining the use of such sound objects across a number of interactional activities including news telling, troubles talk, complaining, assessments and repair, the study provides evidence that the sound pattern and sequential placement of sound objects systematically contribute to their specific meaning-making in interaction, i.e. the management of sequence organisation and interactional relevancies (e.g. affiliation). Presenting an in-depth analysis of a little researched area of language use from an interactional linguistic perspective, the book will be of theoretical and methodological interest to an audience with a background in linguistics, sociology and conversational studies.
