《语法讲义》中的歧义句

歧义现象一直是语法研究的重要课题之一,朱德熙先生的<语法讲义>是一部重要的语法著作,有许多歧义句散见于书中各章节,此文即以<语法讲义>中所提到的45个歧义句为研究对象,从语音、词汇、语法结构、语义四个方面对它们进行分类总结,指出其产生的原因及分化的办法,并对书中的几个特殊的歧义句进行了分析.     

评马克思主义哲学的“困境”

哲学的困境是一个世界性的问题 ,它反映了工业化社会普遍存在的科技与人文的失衡与矛盾。然而 ,中国共产党领导中国人民革命和建设的光辉历程证明 ,没有马克思主义哲学世界观和方法论的指导 ,就没有中国革命和建设的成就。马克思主义哲学只有立足现实 ,与时俱进 ,具有世界眼光和感召力 ,才能发挥其认识世界和改造世界的方法论作用。

Understanding Multiple Group Identities: Inserting Women into Cultural Transformations

The study of cultural transformations in the United States has been studied predominantly from an assimilation/acculturation framework. There are several drawbacks to this theoretical perspective, chief among them being the exclusion of gender in examining what happens to different ethnic/racial groups when they come into contact. Feminist writings in the last twenty years provide a rich discussion of how inserting women into this social process would enrich our knowledge about human behavior in general and cultural change specifically. This paper reviews the literature on the assimilation/acculturation framework and integrates the most recent developments in feminist theory to provide a new alternative to studying cultural transformations. The social engagement model takes into account gender as well as other significant social identities like ethnicity/race, class, and sexuality to study how groups change as they come into contact with each other.     

On the maximum of periodic integer-valued sequences with exponential type tails via max-semistable laws

In this work we study the limiting distribution of the maximum term of periodic integer-valued sequences with marginal distribution belonging to a particular class where the tail decays exponentially. This class does not belong to the domain of attraction of any max-stable distribution. Nevertheless, we prove that the limiting distribution is max-semistable when we consider the maximum of the first k_n observations, for a suitable sequence {_kn}$\{k_n\}$ increasing to infinity. We obtain an expression for calculating the extremal index of sequences satisfying certain local conditions similar to conditions D^(m)(_un)$D^{(m)}(u_n)$, m∈N$m\in \mathbb{N}$, defined by Chernick et al. (1991). We apply the results to a class of max-autoregressive sequences and a class of moving average models. The results generalize the ones obtained for the stationary case.     

Vois‐Tu Le Kem? Do You See the Bos? Foreign Word Learning at 14 Months

How easily can infants regularly exposed to only one language begin to acquire a second one? In three experiments, we tested 14‐month‐old English and French monolingual infants’ ability to learn words presented in foreign language sentence frames. Infants were trained on two novel word‐object pairings and then tested using a preferential looking task. Word forms were phonetically and phonotactically legal in both languages, and cross‐spliced across conditions, so only the sentence frames established the word as native or foreign. In Experiment 1, infants were taught one native and one foreign word and successfully learned both. In Experiment 2 and 3, infants were taught two foreign words, but only showed successful learning of the first word they encountered. These results demonstrate that infants can successfully learn words embedded in foreign language sentences, but this is more challenging than native word learning. More broadly, they show that the sentential context of a novel word, and not just the word form itself, influences infants’ early word learning.     

Colour and inclusivity: a visual communication design project with older people

In an ideal world, inclusive products and services would be the standard and not the exception. This paper presents a systematic approach to an overlap between Visual Communication Design, Printed Colour and Inclusive Design, for older people, with the aim to develop of a set of research-based ageing and ergonomics-centred communication design guidelines and recommendations for printed material (analogical displays). The approach included an initial extensive literature review in the area of colour, older people and ergonomics issues and vision common diseases, communication design. The second phase was the implementation of an experiment to measure the different colour experiences of the participants in two sample groups (one in UK and another one in Portugal), using printed material, to find out the colours one should use in analogical communication material, being aware of the colour contrast importance (foreground versus background) and the difficulties experienced by older people to read and understand lettering, signs. As main contribution of this research project, we developed a set of guidelines and recommendations based on the reviewed literature and the sample groups' findings, trying to demonstrate the importance of these guidelines when conceiving a new communicational design project in a way this project will achieve vision comfort and understandability, especially for older people, in an inclusive design perspective.     

New evidence on the fertility transition in Ireland 1880–1911

Recent analyses of Ireland's marital fertility transition based on the Princeton Ig and the Stanford CPA measures are reassessed. Revised county estimates of Ig are subjected to regression analysis, and added insight into CPA is offered by comparing Ireland with Scotland and applying the measure to three specially constructed local data sets.     

Early Intervention in Portugal: Study of Professionals’ Perceptions

Early intervention (EI) has been characterized by considerable advances in its domain, which has had great repercussions in the implementation of the family-centered approach. These changes have had implications in the practices and in the adoption and learning of new values that should be implemented in EI. This study evaluates the professional perspectives regarding family-centered practices in EI programs in Portugal. The results highlight the importance of effective collaboration and coordination between health, education, and social services and the importance of providing child and family support in a natural context. These results reinforce the need to invest in professional training to improve the quality of services offered to families in EI.
