“Chinese Character — Chinese Language”——the Regional Linguistic System: Developing Process and Current Situation

Linguistic civilization orientation is a necessity for all eras,with which the motivation,viable model and pragmatic hypothesis of the language can be formed."Chinese character— Chinese language"takes on different cultures in different regions, embodying the integration of language and civilization. As a result, in order to analyze linguistics, it is necessary for us to compare the Chinese language at home and abroad, and it is the linguistic construction based on the public. The modern Chinese language inherits the cultural connotation of the Chinese linguistics and answers the regional hypothesis and establishes the new linguistic system for the Chinese language in different regions.     

The Motivation for the Conversation——Rationality

In 1957, Grice suggested the theory of meaning-nn as a theory of communication. Later, he developed Cooperative Principle (CP) as guidelines for the efficient and effective use of language in conversation. Some philosophers and linguists try to develop and modify the Grice's Cooperative Principle or attempt to challenge the validity of this and suggest some other principles. However, very few try to explore the driving force behind conversation. What is the mechanism underlying the use of a sentence to convey extra meaning? After a more detailed examination of Grice's work on philosophy and language, we discover that the importance of rationality is shown throughout his work. Therefore we can conclude that rationality, not the cooperation, is the real motivation, though Grice invents the Cooperative Principle. Cooperation is the realization of rationality applied at the level of discourse.     

The Function of Letters and Visits System and Its Regression to the Right Position from the Perspective of Constitutionalism

The Letters and Visits system is a kind of system with unique Chinese characteristics,whose function mainly includes democratic supervision,communication between governments and the public,and civil rights relief etc.The system itself does not conflict with the rule of law while the reason for the flooding of letters -or -visits' matters lies in the understanding of its misplaced function,particularly for the unlimited expansion of relief function and neglect of supervision and communication functions.Through the practice of democracy,the administrative self - restraint idea and protection of the independent status of the department for letters and visits,its function can return to the right position.     

Information in the Structure of Reality:the Scientific Worldview and the Fundamental Question of Philosophy

We offer a new understanding of the scientific world and the contents of the basic question of philosophy,which is based on an analysis of the phenomenon of the specific information in the various components of the structure of reality.It is shown that,in addition to material objects,processes,and events,in the real world are also intangible objects,processes and conditions that are in its information content.So the basic question of philosophy is proposed to treat the relationship as a tangible and intangible component of reality.More succinctly it can be formulated as the ratio of matter and information.This allows you to point to some new challenges studying the phenomenon of information in various components of the structure of reality.

Distinction Between Variable Norm and Invariant Norm and Its Academic Significance——A Study Based on the Opposition Between Pragmatics and Norm

There have always been two opposite opinions on the relationship between pragmatics and language norm.Some scholars hold the opinions that language norm is not the shackles of language use,so language users can break the norm occasionally in order to achieve the purpose of communication.Other scholars believe that sticking to the norm is the presupposition of successful communication.According to them,the violation of norm is the negation of the function as well as the necessity of language norm.     

State-Society Relations Beyond the Weberian State

From its political relations Regardle origins in the Weberian tradition of sociology, work on state-society has inherited several propensities. ss of its specific focus, it shares a predilection for large-scale generalizations about the state and its relation to society. Conceptions of the state itself, bearing the imprint of traditional European state forms, continue to portray it as a hierarchical, Weberian bureaucratic apparatus. Consistent with this view of the state, analysts in the field have characteristically presumed that a sharp analytical distinction, if not always an actual separation, between the state and society. This essay demonstrates how these traditional approaches have proven increasingly inadequate to capture the realities of state-society relations. Not only in developed countries but increasingly beyond them, a variety of trends have progressively altered the Weberian state and the overall patterns of state-society relations that accompanied it. Societal influences on the state have also grown, diversified and assumed new forms. Thesocial imaginaries that have linked states with national societies may gradually be changing as well. Work in numerous fields, from public policy and public administration to local governance, political culture and economic sociology, reveals important dimensions of state-society relations that can rarely be fully grasped by means of the traditional state-society dichotomy.

Thomas Pikettys Methodology and Theory on Capital in the Twenty--First Century
Abstract： Thomas Piketty＇s research on capital in the 21st century mainly has made some a- nalysis on the accumulation and distribution of wealth in Europe and America in the past 250 years. His conclusion is that social inequality will intensify when the income value by capital grows faster than the value of economic growth and human capital was defeated by financial cap- ital and real estate capital. Inequality is not coincidental but an internal logic of capitalism. If the capitalism system is not changed, the meritocratic value which is capitalism faith will be under punch, and the capitalism democratic order and so--called ＂justice＂ will be threatened.     

A Pietist, or A Sceptic——On Hawthorne‘s The Scarlet Letter and Puritanism Thought

The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a classical novel in American literature in the 19th century. Hawthorne is deeply influenced by Puritanism. His representative work, The Scarlet Letter, reflects the Calvinistic thought of "Original Sin". His novel also expresses his pious attitude with skepticism for ethics and morality of Puritanism. On one hand, Hawthorne strongly criticizes Calvinism for constraining human nature, and on the other hand, regards some social problems as the sake of evil human nature. He advocates the believers to clear themselves of guilt and to purify their hearts by penitence and kindness.
