Remarks on American Taboos

Language serves as the tool of communication between people.In any language persons,things and activities that are ta boos should not be talked about or should be mentioned in a roundabout way.it is not only a linguistic phenomenon but also a social phenomenon.The origin of taboo is deeply rooted in the social and cultural background.Today in the increasingly frequent cross-cultural communication,if you do not understand the language taboos,it will hinder the smooth communication.This pa per will talk about American taboos from two aspects.It is designed to help English learners understand American culture and im prove competence of cross-cultural communication.

A Comparative Study of English and Chinese Taboo

Learning a language,in fact,is inseparable from learning its culture and taboo is part of it.Justified by a number of examples,a study of the similarities and differences of the English and Chinese taboo was made,providing evidence for the idea that taboo varies with different cultural backgrounds and showing a growing tendency of fading from language communication,which is of great importance for a language learner to have a better understanding of foreign cultures.

国际私法对“Public Law Taboo”的突破

在全球化时代,调整跨国民商事关系的国际私法中出现了一个较为显著的发展趋势——即国际私法开始突破＂公法禁忌（Public Law Taboo）＂,有关法庭在国际民商事案件中适用外国公法;若干国家的国际私法以及有关国际立法均肯定了外国公法在国际私法案件中的可适用性。

Animal Taboos

Due to different cultural backgrounds, different animal patterns mean different things in different countries,therefore some have become taboos in some countries. For example, poeple in Britain never use elephants in their patterns,the Australians hate rabbits, in many African countries people dislike patterns of dogs,the Swiss people regard the owl (猫头鹰)as

Principles of Translating Brand Names and Cultural Taboos in Translating Brand Names

Translation of brand names is a form of intercultural communication. Whether we translate the Chinese brand names into the English ones or translate the English brand names into the Chinese ones, language laws, cultural psychology, aesthetic interest and some other factors will be involved. According to the principle of equivalence theory, the translated brand names should achieve a perfect linguistic unity among sound, form and meaning.

Comparative analysis of the Sino-British taboo helps people understand the cultural connotation and different concepts of values and ethics. It is helpful for international communication and cultural exchange.

Taboo Search Algorithm for Item Assignment in Synchronized Zone Automated Order Picking System

The idle time which is part of the order fulfillment time is decided by the number of items in the zone; therefore the item assignment method affects the picking efficiency. Whereas previous studies only focus on the balance of number of kinds of items between different zones but not the number of items and the idle time in each zone. In this paper, an idle factor is proposed to measure the idle time exactly. The idle factor is proven to obey the same vary trend with the idle time, so the object of this problem can be simplified from minimizing idle time to minimizing idle factor. Based on this, the model of item assignment problem in synchronized zone automated order picking system is built. The model is a form of relaxation of parallel machine scheduling problem which had been proven to be NP-complete. To solve the model, a taboo search algorithm is proposed. The main idea of the algorithm is minimizing the greatest idle factor of zones with the 2-exchange algorithm. Finally, the simulation which applies the data collected from a tobacco distribution center is conducted to evaluate the performance of the algorithm. The result verifies the model and shows the algorithm can do a steady work to reduce idle time and the idle time can be reduced by 45.63% on average. This research proposed an approach to measure the idle time in synchronized zone automated order picking system. The approach can improve the picking efficiency significantly and can be seen as theoretical basis when optimizing the synchronized automated order picking systems.

A Comparative Study of English and Chinese Taboos

As a very common language phenomenon in English and Chinese culture, taboo exists in almost every aspects of daily life. Taboo is a relatively sensitive topic and it has distinctive national features and profound cultural connotations. The comparative study of English and Chinese taboos is an important subject in intercultural communication, which is easy to be overlooked.The short knowledge of taboo is a great barrier in intercultural communication, therefore, making a comparative study of linguistic taboos becomes imperative.

A Study of linguistic Taboos in Intercultural Communication

As the globalization is rapidly developed,intercultural communication has become more and more intensified.When it comes to the case of taboo,it varies from one culture to another,thus,the violation of taboos will cause something unpleasant,like misunderstanding.So people should pay more attention to it.This essay just takes some linguistic taboos in Chinese and English to compare the two kinds of taboos to give deeper illustration to readers.It is hoped that the readers could make full use of this knowledge to communicate effectively in intercultural communication.

A Sociological Study of the Relevance of Taboo and Euphemism

Language and society are closely linked. Taboo words are formed in the language of people's taboos about certain thingsand behaviors in social life. The existence of taboo words has prompted a great deal of euphemism. They are related to psychologi-cal basis, pragmatic function, variable rule and national characteristics. Taboo words and euphemism are related to psychology, lan-guage, alternation and nationality. Taboo words and euphemism have great influence on people's social interaction education. Ta-boo words and euphemism have important positive meanings to the development of linguistics.

An Tentative Taboo Search Algorithm for Job Shop Scheduling

An effective heuristic algorithm for solving the minimum makespan problem of job shop scheduling is presented. With a given feasible solution as a start point, we use Taboo Search technique to get a schedule for each neighbor of all its neighbors, and select the best one of the schedules as the new start point. We repeat the procedure, unless the new start point is not better than the proceeding one. To make sure of better results, we introduce reverse technique to the algorithm as well. The computational experiments of the 45 standard instances show that our algorithm yields better results than TSAB algorithm.
