从《醒世姻缘传》看汉语句式结构的层面渗透

汉语句式结构框架在其产生之后并非静止不动，除其自身的丰富发展之外，它还向不同的语法结构层面渗透，汉语词、词组、句子在结构关系上所具有的一致性由此产生。明末清初白话小说《醒世姻缘传》中的比拟句、“把”字句等就充分显示了汉语句式结构的这种中间过渡状态。     

现代汉语框式结构“有X没X”的构式分析

“有X没X”是现代汉语框式结构的一种较为典型的语法构式。当前,学界的研究大多是探究“有X没Y”的句法及语用表现,而对于变项“X”属同一形式的现象尚未涉及。通过外层的形式描写和深层的语义分析,鉴别“有X没X”常规和非常规的用法,指出客观叙述性和主观评价性是区别“有X没X”常规和非常规用法的主要方法。同时,利用句法功能的差异,描绘出现代汉语中“有X没X”所有类型的特点,即“有NP没NP”“有VP没VP”“有一Q没一Q”和“有的没的”4类情况的共性及个性。另外,深入诠释转指性和描述性语义特征的不同是“有X没X”常规和非常规用法区别的关键。     

《马氏文通》的语义结构分析

《马氏文通》中关于句子语义结构的大量阐述,在一定程度上体现了该书语法体系的特点。文章通过对相关材料的梳理,试图从语义成分、语义关系、语义结构类型,以及语义结构与句法形式之间的关系等方面,对相关材料进行分析和评价;并在此基础上对有关问题进行了讨论。文章认为,《文通》注重语义结构分析,一方面是该书实用性目的的体现,另一方面是汉语语法自身特点所使然。《文通》所反映出的“句法一语义”两个结构层面观以及该书对汉语“语义语法”的开创性研究,对后世的汉语语法学有着深远的影响。     

输入强化对习得英语方式副词位置规则的影响

以英语方式副词位置为强化对象,研究输入流、文本强化以及两者结合使用这三种输入强化方式是否能够帮助学习者习得英语方式副词的位置规则,并对其效果进一步深入探讨。实验结果表明：三种输入强化方式都能帮助学生习得方式副词位置规则,但输入强化的有效应用是有条件的,输入强化的效果会受研究中受试者以及被强化的对象等因素的影响。此外,相对于单一强化,复合强化通常更能有效地促进目标语的学习,但当单一强化能有效地促进目标语学习的时候,复合强化不能帮助学习者取得显著性的优异成绩,从而表明复合强化并不总是必要的。     

Gendered constructions of Filipina teachers in Japan's Skype English conversation industry

Drawing on data from a larger project that includes blog entries and interview findings, this paper investigates the ways in which Filipina teachers working in Japan's Skype English conversation (eikaiwa) industry are constructed as intimate and romanticized entities through Japanese male learners’ discursive practices. The paper argues that these highly gendered constructions are never unrelated to the male learners’ desires to display their masculinity. The paper also points out that these desires stem from the long‐established sex‐mediated link between Japanese men and Filipinas based on their economic disparities. The paper concludes with a suggestion that the popularity of Philippines‐based Skype eikaiwa cannot be explained by the development of telecommunication tools or neoliberalism alone; rather, it should be understood as a trend that has emerged from the complicated intersection of all pre‐existent and current economic, socio‐political, cultural‐political, and technological components.     

角色参照语法的分析框架及其解释能力探析

角色参照语法是20世纪70年代以来发展起来的一种结构功能语法。论文尝试评述其主要的语法分析框架,并以英语和汉语为例探究其对不同语言的解释能力。角色参照语法成功地将语篇、语用因素融入到句法结构的分析之中,因此,它不仅能够较好地解释英语等形合语言的结构特征,也适用于具有意合特征的汉语等语言的结构分析。角色参照语法比传统的形式语法具有更大的灵活性和适用性。     

汨罗悼祭类韵文中的楚辞体语气助词“兮”

“兮”是《楚辞》用得最普遍最有规则的虚词。从《楚辞》到当下汨罗的悼祭类韵文,“兮”的句法位置由位于上小句末、下小句末、句中三类演变到只能位于下小句末和句中两类,分布越来越不规则,语法意义越来越单一,正处于不断萎缩乃至消亡状态中。汨罗悼祭类韵文的“兮”是地域传统民俗文化的“镜子”．是珍贵的语言化石,是重要的非物质文化遗产,对当代社会主义文化建设有积极意义。     

Narratives from the neighbourhood: The discursive construction of integration problems in talkback radio1

This paper examines how speakers deploy narrative devices in talking about Sudanese refugees. Particularly, we show how narrative constructions form an important basis for the advancement of accounts about integration problems into the local polity. We analyse talkback ‘phone‐in’ calls to a local Adelaide radio station that provide callers an opportunity to give accounts of events and social phenomena that concern them in their local settings. Analysis shows that speakers regularly deployed narrative constructions, first‐hand ‘witnessing’ devices that functioned to legitimate accounts as veridical versions of events, and contrast devices to explicate the moral and behavioural aberrance of Sudanese refugees. The analysis illustrates how these discursive devices function rhetorically in interaction, in ways that differentiate Sudanese refugees as problematic. Through this analysis, we contend that narrative devices precipitate and bolster socio‐political policies that have serious, negative consequences for Sudanese refugees.     

The female aging body: A systematic review of female perspectives on aging,health, and body image

While most body image research has focused on young female populations, evidence has shown that as few as 12% of older women are satisfied with their body size. Recent studies have also highlighted how anti-aging discourses are promoting unrealistic body norms, which have shown to contribute to poor body image and altered health behaviors. A systematic review of empirical studies focused on older women’s perspectives of health, body image, and the aging body is presented. Findings support that body image is a persistent, lifelong issue for women and should be considered when implementing healthy aging policies and practices.
