This paper shows a further development of the approach in terms of applying The Fuzzy Tychonoff Theorem along with quantum techniques provide to reach a high level of holistic discourse which is achieved not only through the application of fundamental principles of compactness of the topological space, but also utilizing quantum entanglement and complementarity principles for discourse structuring in a special way. The approach is implemented as the Responsibility Thinking System （RTS） tested in the course of finding the decisions of the real life issues.展开更多

Medialization means the adaption of producers to media logics, media formats, and media routines ＆ workflows. There are consequently and logically influences because of the dynamic process of medialization to legal discourse and genres, law, media, and social power. It has to be discussed if the logics, data formats, and routines ＆ workflows of new media and information and communication technologies （ICTs） like social media are creating also a new generation of genres and novel form of legal discourses. Also, if social media will replace or complete old classic media （law of Riepl）, the question of the relevance of law concerning new ＆ social media has to be answered in close future. Lastly, if to the fore of social power, these new novel resources are actually framing for problem-based inquiries in law. There are big chances but also serious risks in cyberworld, their realities, and dangers. There actually exists an urgent call of action to theory building, development of methodologies, and empirical research.展开更多

Modern cognitive science prefers to take parody as a cognitive act rather than a sheer linguistic modification act, which has provided a new prospective for further research about parody in the context of network media. This paper aims to probe into the cognitive constraints in the mechanism of parody in the context of network media, in hope to make a detailed explanation of the cognitive process of it and to strengthen the comprehension and appreciation of it.展开更多

Among them context plays a key role in the analysis. So the present paper intends to focus its discussion on the functions of context in discourse analysis. Through study the paper finds full explanations about the function of context in the following aspects： firstly, context can help listeners or readers to define reference; secondly, it can also help to establish and accumulate presupposition; thirdly, context can help hearer detect conversational implicature. Those functions are very influential in discourse analysis as well as in language acquisition.展开更多
