This chapter defines attitude datives as evaluative and relational pragmatic markers that allow the speaker to present material from a specific perspective and to invite the hearer to view the material from the same perspective. It identifies three types of context that are pertinent to the analysis of these datives. These are the sociocultural context (e.g., values, beliefs), the situational context (i.e., identities, activity types), and the co-textual context (e.g., contextualization cues). The chapter draws on Cognitive Grammar and Theory of Stance and puts forth a sociocognitive model called the stancetaking stage model. In this model, when a speaker uses an attitude dative construction, she directs her hearer’s attention to the main content of her message and instructs him to view this content through the attitude dative as a filter. In this sense, the attitude dative functions as a perspectivizer and the main content becomes a perspectivized thought.

Information Landscape

Information landscape is a critical component of professional and scholarly disciplines. Established disciplines have a managed information foundation covering primary, secondary and tertiary sources, targeted search capabilities, discipline-specific knowledge organisation tools and services, and quality controlled review processes. The information landscapes of emerging disciplines may be more chaotic and unsettled, and present challenges for professionals. This research considers the information landscape of the knowledge management discipline. An open public survey of knowledge professionals provides insights into three factors that affect the landscape including: (1) information awareness; (2) information use and access; and (3) information valuation. Findings highlight key information management challenges, and offer suggestions for solutions.

Who needs leadership in organizations and why? Who needs leadership in organizations and why? Reinout E. de Vries, Robert A. Roe, Tharsi C.B. Taillieu & Nico J.M. Nelissen, Gedrag & Organisatie, Volume 17, June 2004, nr. 3, pp. 204-226. Leadership literature most often deals with the leader and his/her effects on the performance and attitudes of employees. In contrast with these so-called leader-centred models, the follower-centred 'need for leadership' model focuses on the employee and his/her needs and wishes towards the leadership role. The model proposes that leadership effects are dependent on an employee's actual need for leadership. This article reviews the research on the effects of need for leadership on various individual and organizational leadership outcomes. Additionally, results of studies on the relative prevalence of various leadership needs – leadership functions that employees do and do not need – and predictors of need for leadership are presented. In particular, the article addresses the extent to which need for leadership is based on situational context or personal characteristics of the employee. Based on the findings presented here, the following is concluded: a) employees most strongly need a leader's 'connecting' function (to arrange things with higher management and to pass on information), b) leaders may have a different perception of employees' need for leadership than employees themselves, and c) need for leadership is mainly predicted by personal characteristics of employees, such as age, education, expertise and personality, and by the perceived style of the leader him-/herself.

Malaysian Government

This paper investigates the nature of expectations and its influence on attitudes towards government electronic services (e-services) in Malaysia. Based on a discussion of findings from in-depth focus group studies with government providers and users of e-services in Malaysia, a conceptual model is devised which explores both the extrinsic and intrinsic forces (in the form of e-government stimuli) influencing the articulation and actualization of stakeholder expectations, which can sway attitudes toward e-services. Key contributing factors (e.g., technological issues, managerial/institutional challenges, resource constraints, user needs), which have inhibited the extent of benefits realization when using e-services are explored. The model also introduces the concept of situational context—the importance of considering e-services in relation to its specific setting or circumstances at play.

Contextual knowledge is the most important aspect of language comprehension. We define contextual knowledge as both general knowledge and discourse knowledge, i.e., knowledge of the situational context, background knowledge, and co-textual context. In this paper, we will discuss the significance of contextual knowledge in comprehending the humor found in Amul's cartoon advertisements in India. Throughout the process, we will analyze these advertisements and determine whether humor is an effective tool for advertising and, as a result, marketing. These bilingual advertisements also assume that the audience has the necessary linguistic knowledge, such as vocabulary, morphology, and syntax in English and Hindi. Various techniques such as punning, portmanteaus, and parodies of popular proverbs, expressions, acronyms, famous dialogues, songs, and so on are used to convey the message humorously. The current study will focus on these linguistic cues and the necessary context for understanding wit and humor. This study will also employ semiotics and sign methodology to analyze the message provided by the cartoons. According to the research findings, cartoons serve two purposes: political communication and advertising; however, advertising is camouflaged and not placed in an obvious manner.
