词汇规范的若干思考

词汇规范是语言文字规范的重要内容。词汇规范尽管难度很大 ,但还是可能和必要的。词汇规范必须全面考虑语言的社会职能、不同领域词汇的不同特点、语言的系统性等 ;必须处理好学理与俗实的关系 ,为语言留足发展的空间     

英语发展之哲学思考和启示——兼论语言优劣观之错误

英语原是日耳曼语族的一个小语种,经历了“词形变化完整期”、“词形变化消减期”、“词形变化消失期”三个阶段,其发展饱受了多种磨难,最终却发展为当今公认的“全球性”语言。由此可见:语言无论大小、强弱,都没有优劣和贵贱之分。只要广泛吸收、融各家之长就能强大起来。这些值得我们汉语借鉴。     

利用多媒体进行英语词汇策略的教学

随着我国大学英语教学改革的实施,多媒体教学正在各高校推广。多媒体课件能充分应用图、文、声、像立体语言输入能提供视觉、听觉和动觉的刺激,从而加强学生对词汇的记忆。如何充分利用多媒体课件的优势,将词汇学习策略溶入到词汇教学中,提高学生词汇学习效率,自主学习的能力。让他们最终成为独立、有效的英语学习者。     

英语民族与云南少数民族语用习惯差异

语用学是20世纪70年代兴起的一门独立学科,它越来越受到语言学界的关注。语用学主要研究在特定情景中的特殊话语以及在不同的语言交际环境下如何理解和运用语言。从语用学相关理论的角度,通过对英语和部分少数民族语言的表达习惯比较,可以进一步展示中西方民族文化的差异,从而提高语言学习者的目的语文化意识,更好地实现跨文化交际目的。     

汉语词义和词汇系统的历史演变初探——以“投”为例

词汇是一个系统,词义也是有系统性的。运用“概念要素分析法”来分析词义,可以更好地归纳词义,并厘清词义之间的联系及其历史发展。以概念场为背景,考察各个概念域中的成员及其分布在不同历史时期的演变,是研究词汇系统历史演变的一种有效的方法。     

The Role of Cancer Risk in the Regulation of Industrial Pollution

The extent of carcinogen regulation under existing U.S. environmental statutes is assessed by developing measures of the scope and stringency of regulation. While concern about cancer risk has played an important political role in obtaining support for pollution control programs, it has not provided the predominant rationale for most regulatory actions taken to date. Less than 20% of all standards established to limit concentrations of chemicals in various media address carcinogens. Restrictions on chemical use are more frequently based on concerns about noncancer human health or ecological effects. Of the chemicals in commercial use which have been identified as potential human carcinogens on the basis of rodent bioassays, only a small proportion are regulated. There is an inverse relationship between the scope of regulatory coverage and the stringency of regulatory requirements: the largest percentages of identified carcinogens are affected by the least stringent requirements, such as information disclosure. Standards based on de minimis cancer risk levels have been established for only 10% of identified carcinogens and are restricted to one medium: water. Complete bans on use have affected very few chemicals. The general role that carcinogenicity now plays in the regulatory process is not dramatically different from that of other adverse human health effects: if a substance is identified as a hazard, it may eventually be subject to economically achievable and technically feasible restrictions.     

Relationship Dissolution as a Life Stage Transition: Effects on Sexual Attitudes and Behaviors

In this paper, with the use of linear regressions to investigate how relationship dissolution affects sexual attitudes and behaviors, the authors address the stereotype that newly single people seek multiple sexual partners. Although the newly single people surveyed did obtain new sexual partners, the rate at which they acquired new partners did not support the stereotype. Specifically, men with custody of their children seemed oriented toward finding a steady partner. Additionally, men and women with low incomes reported relatively high rates of partner acquisition after relationship dissolution. The high rates reported by disadvantaged groups may be more directly related to familial instability accompanying poverty than to cultural characteristics associated with income or race. We argue that a life stage model with categorical stages in a rigid, anachronistic progression provides insufficient means to gain an understanding of newly single people.
