英语报刊语篇中的词汇衔接研究

词汇衔接是衔接的主要部分。本文以韩礼德等语言学家的衔接理论为基础,对英语报刊语篇进行具体分析,指出词汇衔接能使语篇达到统一的语境,是构建语篇主题以及使语篇连贯的主要手段。     

Coherent decision analysis with inseparable probabilities and utilities

This article explores the extent to which a decision maker's probabilities can be measured separately from his/her utilities by observing his/her acceptance of small monetary gambles. Only a partial separation is achieved: the acceptable gambles are partitioned into a set of belief gambles, which reveals probabilities distorted by marginal utilities for money, and a set of preference gambles, which reveals utilities reciprocally distorted by marginal utilities for money. However, the information in these gambles still enables us to solve the decision maker's problem: his/her utility-maximizing decision is the one that avoids arbitrage (i.e., incoherence or Dutch books).     

Comparative probability for conditional events: A new look through coherence

We study, from the standpoint of coherence, comparative probabilities on an arbitrary familyE of conditional events. Given a binary relation ·, coherence conditions on · are related to de Finetti's coherent betting system: we consider their connections to the usual properties of comparative probability and to the possibility of numerical representations of ·. In this context, the numerical reference frame is that of de Finetti's coherent subjective conditional probability, which is not introduced (as in Kolmogoroff's approach) through a ratio between probability measures.Another relevant feature of our approach is that the family & need not have any particular algebraic structure, so that the ordering can be initially given for a few conditional events of interest and then possibly extended by a step-by-step procedure, preserving coherence.     

关于量子控制系统的哲学思考

环境对量子控制系统的消相干揭示了一个事实,即量子世界里的系统将是一种全新的系统,它是某种开放的、数学的、并且是基于量子逻辑的系统。笔者认为,假如仍然还是立足经典思维,则系统的独立性将难以得到保证,传统的整体论也将变得自相矛盾。只有发展全新的"量子整体论",并在这种新的框架下去审视和建构量子系统,我们才有可能重新获得某种连贯一致的整体论。     

An approach to measure distance between compositional diet estimates containing essential zeros

For many applications involving compositional data, it is necessary to establish a valid measure of distance, yet when essential zeros are present traditional distance measures are problematic. In quantitative fatty acid signature analysis (QFASA), compositional diet estimates are produced that often contain many zeros. In order to test for a difference in diet between two populations of predators using the QFASA diet estimates, a legitimate measure of distance for use in the test statistic is necessary. Since ecologists using QFASA must first select the potential species of prey in the predator's diet, the chosen measure of distance should be such that the distance between samples does not decrease as the number of species considered increases, a property known in general as subcompositional coherence. In this paper we compare three measures of distance for compositional data capable of handling zeros, but not satisfying some of the well-accepted principles of compositional data analysis. For compositional diet estimates, the most relevant of these is the property of subcompositionally coherence and we show that this property may be approximately satisfied. Based on the results of a simulation study and an application to real-life QFASA diet estimates of grey seals, we recommend the chi-square measure of distance.     

语篇理解中的信息认知研究

随着语篇语言学的深入研究和不断发展,人们越来越认识到语篇特定信息的把握在语篇解读中的重要性。本文从语篇的文化语境、语篇信息度、语篇组织中的隐喻功能、语篇连贯中的关联理论几方面来探讨特定的信息认知对语篇理解的作用。     

《给——温柔的歌声已消逝》中的爱情“外衣”——基于概念隐喻视角

隐喻是构成诗歌体裁特征的重要要素，许多重要诗论也论证过诗性隐喻对于提高认知能力和反映认知现象的重要意义。概念隐喻认为隐喻是一种认知手段，是理解世界、产生意义的重要途径。其本质是概念性的，是跨概念域的系统映射。雪莱的《给——温柔的歌声已消逝》通过对歌声和音乐、芳香和紫罗兰等具体概念的描述，映射到与思维情感相关的抽象概念上，生动地传达出了留恋逝去爱情的强烈感受，为无形的爱情穿上了一件有形的外衣。运用概念隐喻理论对该诗歌进行分析，不仅能够给予理解这首诗歌一个更加新颖的视角，更能对隐喻传达抽象情感有更加具体的认识。     

广告语篇连贯形成的动态模式分析

指出作为一种特殊的交际形式,广告语篇具有隐含性特点,因此,其连贯也呈现出鲜明的特征,即其连贯是隐性的;广告语篇连贯的形成过程是一个语言使用者不断建立心理空间的动态过程。     

语篇衔接理论在BEC阅读理解中的运用

阅读理解在剑桥商务英语（BEC）等级考试中占了很大的篇幅,这对我国考生而言有很高的难度。鉴于中国人说话、写文章缺少严密的逻辑性,本文试图通过Halliday的衔接理论加上实例分析帮助考生熟练掌握这些衔接手段,增强考生的语篇连贯能力,提高考生的阅读水平。     

EFL写作中的读者意识研究

探讨写作过程的交际本质，从语气情态、语篇视点、语义范畴以及语篇连贯四个方面对英语专业学生写作中的读者意识进行分析。分析结果表明，写作中出现的种种问题反映了写作者缺乏读者意识。培养读者意识是英语写作教学中的重要内容，对如何培养提出了几点教学建议。
