从情态量值的角度对比英汉学术口语中的情态分布

以英国学术英语口语语料库(BASE)中关于lecture和seminar两个主题和情景的话语为语料,建立相对应的汉语语料库,基于Halliday系统功能语法中的情态理论,从情态量值的角度对比英汉学术口语语体中的情态分布特征.研究发现:(1)情态在英汉学术口语中的分布存在显著性差异;(2)英汉两种语言都倾向于使用情态的肯定形式,较少用否定形式;(3)英语学术口语更倾向使用低、中量值的情态词,而汉语学术口语则多使用低、高量值的情态词;(4)英语学术口语的高频情态词分布不均衡,较多地使用了低量值情态词can,而汉语的高频情态词分布相对集中,没有表现出过多使用某个情态词的特点.     

Fighting words? Joning as conflict talk and identity performance among African American preadolescents

This study examines how preadolescent African American students in Washington, D.C., used a linguistic practice called ‘joning,’ a style of verbal play similar to ritual insults, in peer interactions. Sociolinguists have focused on how children socialize each other into vernacular styles appropriate for peer group use but often assume that they disalign with social and linguistic norms for classroom behavior. Drawing from a nine‐month ethnographic study that the author conducted in an after‐school program, this article analyzes the structure and function of joning as a vernacular style of African American Vernacular English and its uses in constructing classroom identities. Joning often facilitated student learning, but it was perceived as a socially and physically risky linguistic practice because of its uses as conflict talk in the local community. Focusing on preadolescence as a key stage of language socialization, this article shows how minority students modify peer‐learned linguistic practices to pursue academic success on their own terms.     

＂贫困＂的多模态表征

本文以中介话语分析、多模态社会符号学为理论框架从语言、图像两方面探讨"贫困"现象的话语表征方式。基于BNC语料库揭示"贫困"的词汇语法模式,在语篇层面以媒体对贫困弱势群体表征为例分析其语篇语法,并探讨新闻报道中与"贫困"相关的视觉语法。"贫困"不仅仅表征为穷者匮乏的物质存在,更表征所映现的符号状态和人类精神。     

“没有晚清,何来五四”与现当代文学学科话语增生

"没有晚清,何来五四"对晚清文学知识考古式重返,把现代文学起点推到晚清,拓宽了现代文学疆界,并从对现代起源的关注转向如何想象并谈论中国"现代"的方式,引发了现当代文学研究范式的转换。论断对晚清现代性想象的释放,引发十七年文学"反现代的现代性"的探讨,使其在"革命中国"的阐释中具有了知识范畴的独立性和类似"乌托邦"的价值品格。而寻找中国现代性的努力暗合了中国作为大国经济崛起的"现实",这种承认的政治让现代性变成政治正确的概念而空洞化,重新落入西方思维模式中。对论断的反思是研究者超越时代限定并使现当代文学学科与研究者获得独立品格,走向成熟的关键。     

汉代文人五言诗的交际意图探究

汉代文人五言诗有着作者丰富的交际意图,这些交际意图是通过诗歌中的前景化设置和话语暗含表达出来的。"游子"形象的前景化设置表达了汉代文人对仕途的追求;"思妇"形象的前景化设置表达了汉代文人对爱情的渴盼。从话语暗含的角度来看,汉代文人五言诗中的思妇诗在一定程度上也是作者追求仕途的寄托之作。     

Childhood innocence and experience: Memory,discourse and practice

This article examines how childhood innocence is taken up in (92) memories of undergraduate students across four sites in the US and Canada. Drawing from Foucault's theory of discourse, we examine how three themes—innocence as not knowing, innocence as being provided for, and loss of innocence as exposure to adversity—construct childhood as the absence of conflict, which perpetuates the myth of an innocence/experience binary and encourages a deficit perspective of childhood. These findings contribute to teacher education and childhood studies by highlighting the importance of interrogating adult memories in order to disrupt normative assumptions about children.     

Un/gendering Social Selves: How Nonbinary People Navigate and Experience a Binarily Gendered World

Based on in‐depth interviews, we explore how people who do not identify exclusively or consistently as either women or men (i.e., nonbinary people) navigate a culture that bifurcates people into women or men. Using an interactionist approach, we first analyze how interviewees employ discourse (e.g., names, identity labels, and pronouns) and the body (e.g., expressions, decoration, and transformation) to present themselves as nonbinary, which we conceptualize as ungendering social selves. Second, we examine the emotional benefits (e.g., authenticity, pride, liberation) and burdens (e.g., fear, rejection, exhaustion) of ungendering. Third, we uncover the emotional, social, and structural conditions under which our nonbinary‐identified participants sometimes present themselves as binarily gendered, which we conceptualize as gendering social selves. We conclude with discussing empirical and theoretical contributions.     

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。
