从词块理论看英语语言测试

词块是二语习得的有效语言单位,尤其是在口语和写作方面更具有积极作用,这也是当代词块研究的主流。语言测试是检测语言输出的重要手段,因而语言测试与词块在某种程度上必定存在一定联系。本文试从语言测试的领域探讨词块的作用及其影响。     

词块与语言教学

不少语言学家在语言研究过程中对词汇和句法之间存在的同时兼有词汇和句法特征的板块结构给予了关注,并由此提出了词汇法教学。词块自身的特点和优势决定了加强词块教学可以提高学习者语言产出的能力,即英语口语能力及写作能力。

英语报刊语篇中的词汇衔接研究

词汇衔接是衔接的主要部分。本文以韩礼德等语言学家的衔接理论为基础,对英语报刊语篇进行具体分析,指出词汇衔接能使语篇达到统一的语境,是构建语篇主题以及使语篇连贯的主要手段。     

广告英语中的语音修辞美

广告英语是一种已逐渐从普通英语中独立出来的、具有特殊效用的应用语言,为达到注意价值和记忆价值的目的,运用了多种多样的修辞手段,以增强生动性、艺术性和感染力。修辞手段的运用能够使广告英语优美独到,内涵丰富,不仅具有很高的商业价值,而且具有一定的语言研究价值和美学价值。从几种主要的语音修辞手段如头韵、腹韵、尾韵、拟声等对广告英语中的语音修辞美作了分析。

直流磁控溅射铂电阻薄膜

根据薄膜理论和通过成膜工艺实验，研究了影响铂薄膜电阻温度系数的主要因素。１）对铂靶材料的纯度要求高，含杂质极少；２）淀积薄膜要有一定厚度，通常近于１μｍ才能有较大的α；３）成膜以后，需经过高温热处理，减少缺陷，结晶化改善。通过大量实验，使用高铝陶瓷基片或微晶玻璃基片，溅射铂薄膜的厚度为８００ｎｍ，高温热处理１ｈ，可以获得电阻温度系数为３．８５０×１０－３／℃的铂电阻薄膜。     

Awareness of low self-control: Theory and evidence from a homeless shelter

Survey measures of self-control provide a potential low-cost alternative to incentivized elicitation. However, asking respondents to introspect on their self-control problems may instead measure their awareness of them, especially in populations with low self-control. We illustrate this with the Ameriks, Caplin, Leahy, and Tyler (2007) survey, which captures self-control problems through the deviation between self-reported ideal and predicted behavior (Expected Deviation, ED). Previous empirical evidence from high income or highly educated populations correlates larger ED with worse outcomes. We theoretically show that the reverse will be true in settings where awareness can play a large role: when self-control is low and costly commitment devices are available. We empirically show that, for residents of a homeless shelter, ED is positively correlated to savings in shelter lockboxes, a costly commitment device. This correlation is stronger for those likely to experience more self-control problems: individuals with past addiction problems.     

英语歧义现象及其积极作用

歧义是一种语言形式能够表达两种或两种以上意义的语言现象,它普遍存在于世界各种语言中。一般认为歧义会有碍交流,但如果人们加以巧妙运用,却也能起到积极的作用,更好地达到某一交际目的。文章主要分析了几类英语歧义现象以及歧义在幽默笑话、广告、文学作品中的积极运用。     

Economic embeddedness and materiality in a financial market setting

The notion of embeddedness (Granovetter, 1985) neglects of the material dimension of economic relations. This paper contributes to the literature of market devices (Callon et al., 2007) with an exploration of the material dimensions of economic embeddedness in the case of the everyday market activities of a group of non‐professional investors in the UK. It examines the attributes of a materially embedded market through the categories of socio‐economic embeddedness specified by Uzzi (1997) and draws attention to the superficial and rhetorical nature of the face‐to‐face social relations encountered in this market. The paper seeks to invigorate the notion of embeddedness by expanding the mechanisms through which socio‐economic relations are understood to arise. The paper offers support to the literature of market devices’ assertion that a concept of materially embedded economic relations can accommodate politics, culture, and regulation, and that it offers a nuanced perspective on agency and identity in the marketplace.
