也谈能性述补结构"V(O)不得"的来源

语法学界对能性述补结构“V(O)不得”的来源主要有两种观点:1.认为“V(O)不得中的“得”是置于动词之后表示可能的“得”;2.认为“V(O)不得”和“V得(O)”来源相同,都是由“连动式”到“表示达成、实现的述补结构”,再虚化为能性述补结构。这两种观点都有不足之处。经过认真的调查分析和类比,我们认为“V(O)不得”中的“不得”是由否定动作结果的实现再发展到否定动作本身的实现。     

"谋大事、促发展"是高校领导班子能力建设的根本

领导班子能否做到“谋大事,促发展”,将直接影响到高校能否抓住机遇,促进各项事业全面协调和可持续发展。高校领导班子建设,需要加强理论武装工作,提高领导班子“谋大事,促发展”的理论素养和战略思维能力;加强调查研究,增强领导班子“谋大事,促发展”的科学决策能力;深化内部管理体制改革,在激发领导班子“谋大事,促发展”的机制活力;统筹学校发展战略,在树立领导班子“谋大事,促发展”的科学发展观。     

倾听儿童的声音：“儿童立场”幼儿园课程质量观的逻辑起点

满足儿童发展的需求是幼儿园课程最为基本的价值诉求。因此,“儿童立场”的幼儿园课程质量观应被重视。通过对哲学视域下质量话语权的转向、发展心理学视角下的儿童观基础以及儿童相关研究范式调整的梳理,不难发现,当前学术界关于儿童的研究已然将聚焦于儿童本身作为研究的基本遵循。由此,文章从理论层面论证了儿童在幼儿园课程质量中主体性地位的重要性,并从课程目标、课程内容、课程实施以及课程评价四个方面出发,论述了在教育实践场中“儿童立场”幼儿园课程质量观的基本样态。     

高校英语课堂中科学信息素养的培育策略研究

英语教学并非单纯地教授学生英语技能和能力,而是担负着为时代发展需求培养国际化优质人才的使命和担当。随着我国高等教学水平的逐步提升,英语教学开始向学术化的方向不断发展,旨在培养出拥有较高专业化知识与英语技能的复合型人才,为我国提升国际核心竞争力奠定坚实的人才基础。近年来,信息技术的跨越式发展扩展了获取信息的渠道,通过英语教学培养学生获取国外先进技术理论信息的能力是我国实现与国际化接轨的必要举措。但是在实际的高校英语课堂教学中,在学生科学信息素养的培育方面还存在着诸多的不足。文章以此为研究对象展开探索和讨论,通过提出在高校英语教学中培养学生科学信息素养的策略,达到提升教学质量,满足时代对于优质人才需求的目的。     

明清以来的市镇:中国城镇化发展的历史因缘

本文致力于厘清关于市镇研究的理论传统,对明清以来市镇的演变在经济、社会和政治等多个层面进行考察。从经济层面看,市镇是连接地方性市场和世界体系的节点,并越来越具有超层级、跨区域和金融化的特点;从社会层面看,市镇是有层级、有组织的,并具有很强的包容性;从政治层面看,它是地方自治化和国家政权建设的着力点。在社会结构中的中间性质是市镇的本质特征。社会学对于市镇的研究必须将其看作一种总体性的社会事实,在对生命体验、生活智慧、伦理道德、乡风民俗等民情因素进行调查研究的前提下,考察其与具体制度和社会结构之间的关联。     

Entrepreneurial Motivations and Capabilities of Migrant Entrepreneurs in Australia

This article presents findings on immigrant entrepreneurship in Australia. The relationship between the entrepreneurial start‐up motivation, co‐ethnic preferences and entrepreneurial capabilities of established immigrant businesses are explored. We analyse data collected with a self‐administered survey questionnaire from 157 immigrant entrepreneurs in Melbourne's suburbs. Our findings show that immigrant entrepreneurs who report a high level of individual achievement as their start‐up motivation also report high levels of entrepreneurial capabilities in terms of opportunity recognition, managerial innovativeness and proactiveness. Immigrant entrepreneurs who are highly influenced by co‐ethnic preferences on staff employment and customer targeting report higher opportunity recognition than those who have a co‐ethnic preference on suppliers. We provide important insights and explanations for these findings and their implications for Australian immigrant entrepreneurs and policymakers.     

THE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY REVOLUTION AND THE UNSECURED CREDIT MARKET

The information technology (IT) revolution coincided with the transformation of the U.S. unsecured credit market. Households' borrowing increased rapidly and there was an even faster increase in bankruptcy filings. A risk of default model with asymmetric information and costly screening is introduced to study this period. When information costs are high, the design of contracts under private information prevents some households from borrowing with a risk of default. As information costs drop, households borrow more and bankruptcy filings increase. Quantitative exercises suggest that the IT revolution may have played an important role in the transformation of the unsecured credit market. (JEL E43, E44, G33)     

Neoliberal discourses and ethnonormative regime in post-recognition Peru: redefining hierarchies and identities

ABSTRACT

This article analyses the impact of ‘recognition’ of cultural and ethnic diversity in Peru. It proposes that the rise of a new global ‘ethnonormativity’ – a regime to define and administrate cultural and identity differences, to establish boundaries between those who ‘are’ ethnic and those who are not, and to set rights and duties derived from identities – has had meagre effects in Peru. While the past decades have witnessed the emergence of Latin American political actors who regard indigenousness as their basic political identity, there has been no ‘emergence of indigenous movements’ in Peru. The discourses that highlight the importance of diversity have gained terrain – unsettling, to a certain extent, the narratives of assimilation through ‘development’ and mestizaje – and the Peruvian state has officially embraced ‘recognition’, including it in its official rhetoric and creating institutions to design policies to guarantee the rights of the indigenous and Afroperuvian ‘peoples’ (itself a label part of the language of multiculturalism). The state has also crafted a definition of ‘indigenous peoples’ and introduced ethnic variables in censuses and official statistics, thus being active in the production and regulation of subjects. Some civil society actors have also incorporated ethnic labels into their rhetoric to adapt to the global turn to identity politics. Peru remains, however, a fertile terrain for neoliberal policies and discourses of a different kind. A discourse that exalts ‘emprendedurismo’ (entrepreneurship) and states that success depends entirely on personal effort has become a new common sense, obscuring the structural inequality that has historically affected indigenous and Afroperuvian people. Extractivism continues to damage the environment and the rights of indigenous people, while the expansion of agribusiness in the coastal valleys of Peru keeps people – regardless of their ‘ethnic’ self-identification – in poverty and without basic labour and social rights. The article suggests that the ambiguities of the ethnonormative regime in Peru may serve as a diversion from structural issues in a context of neoliberalism and may re-elaborate racial hierarchies, racism and the narratives of mestizaje it allegedly opposes.
