This second edition follows the success of its predecessor, which was well received and respected by practitioners, academics and business people of Swiss and non-Swiss origin. It covers the changes in the company law provisions of the Swiss Code of Obligations originally adopted in 1881. The authors have reviewed and updated the entire book, including the relevant general provisions of the civil code and incorporating the 1985 revisions to the law regarding Stiftungen (foundations). A departure from the first edition is the overall emphasis on American (U.S.) legal terminology, although in a few instances reference to English (U.K.) parlance is maintained for comparative purposes. The revision of the Aktienrecht (Share Law), which represents the portions of the Code relating to the most common Swiss corporate organizational form, the Aktiengesellschaft (commonly abbreviated as AG or SA), became effective in 1992. It is primarily this event that prompted the revision of this book. The relevant sections of the Code (Arts. 620 to 763) have been fully re-translated, incorporating the revisions, together with selected relevant new provisions from other related laws. The revised translation of the statutory provisions is accompanied by an in-depth translation addressing current issues, including, besides the substance of the revision of the code, comparative aspects of both the laws of the European Union and the United States, including accounting rules. Also revised are the charts and tables, including the `synoptic tables' which have proved to be of particular value to practitioners.

Cognitive Pragmatics

The Mental Processes of Communication

By: Bruno G. Bara

An argument that communication is a cooperative activity between agents, who together consciously and intentionally construct the meaning of their interaction. In Cognitive Pragmatics, Bruno Bara offers a theory of human communication that is both formalized through logic and empirically validated through experimental data and clinical studies. Bara argues that communication is a cooperative activity in which two or more agents together consciously and intentionally construct the meaning of their interaction. In true communication (which Bara distinguishes from the mere transmission of information), all the actors must share a set of mental states. Bara takes a cognitive perspective, investigating communication not from the viewpoint of an external observer (as is the practice in linguistics and the philosophy of language) but from within the mind of the individual. Bara examines communicative interaction through the notion of behavior and dialogue games, which structure both the generation and the comprehension of the communication act (either language or gesture). He describes both standard communication and nonstandard communication (which includes deception, irony, and "as-if" statements). Failures are analyzed in detail, with possible solutions explained. Bara investigates communicative competence in both evolutionary and developmental terms, tracing its emergence from hominids to Homo sapiens and defining the stages of its development in humans from birth to adulthood. He correlates his theory with the neurosciences, and explains the decay of communication that occurs both with different types of brain injury and with Alzheimer's disease. Throughout, Bara offers supporting data from the literature and his own research. The innovative theoretical framework outlined by Bara will be of interest not only to cognitive scientists and neuroscientists but also to anthropologists, linguists, and developmental psychologists.
