论语法化的理论内涵

从20世纪80年代语法化研究复兴至今,国内外的语法化研究都取得了丰硕成果,但也存在很多的分歧和争论。"什么是语法化?"这是语法化研究的本体问题,也是必须回答的首要问题。很多学者基于各自的研究思路和研究立场,对语法化的内涵作出了不同界定,但大多难以涵盖语法化的各种现象和领域。在语法化研究与类型学、构式语法等语言学前沿领域相结合,不断向更加广泛和深入的方向发展的今天,我们有必要对语法化的内涵加以梳理并对语法化的核心问题做进一步的讨论。     

语篇对话视角的介入分析

评价理论是系统功能语言学在人际意义研究上的新突破,它关注用于协商社会关系的语言资源和态度表达。通过对语篇对话性的介入分析,考察介入系统的操作过程以及语言为之提供的资源潜势,可以看到,作者通过充分运用介入策略,可增强对读者的人际操控,实现交际双方的有效互动。     

Unraveling quantity discounts

We consider the situation in which a buying organization deals with a discrete quantity discount schedule offered by a selling organization. Furthermore, the buying organization can negotiate with the selling organization about the lot size and purchase price, but does not know the underlying function that was used by the selling organization to determine the quantity discount schedule. In this paper, we provide an analytical and empirical basis for one general quantity discount function (QDF) that can be used to describe the underlying function of almost all different quantity discount types. We first develop such a QDF analytically. Among other things, this QDF enables buying organizations to calculate detailed prices for a large number of quantities. We subsequently show that the QDF fits very well with 66 discount schedules found in practice. We discuss that the QDF and related indicators can be a useful tool in supplier selection and negotiation processes. It can also be used for competitive analyses, multiple sourcing decisions, and allocating savings for purchasing groups. Additionally, the QDF can be included in research models incorporating quantity discounts. We conclude the paper with an outlook on further QDF research regarding the characterization of commodity markets from a demand elasticity point of view.     

An evaluation of the tandem configuration automated guided vehicle system

The performance of a tandem automated guided vehicle (AGV) system is compared with that of conventional AGV track systems. In the tandem system the track is divided into non-overlapping, single-vehicle closed loops. Using simulation it is shown that, because of trips requiring delivery across loops, the tandem system has a higher expected travel time per load and thus a greater average time in system. When the loads are delivered within the original loop only, the tandem system has a lower average time in system than in conventional systems, although the difference is modest. Track layout appears to influence the average time in system much more than docs the dispatching rule invoked. The success of the tandem system is highly dependent on approximately even AGV utilization, which may be difficult to obtain in practice.     

The Continuum of Care System

Abstract

The Continuum of Care System is a Decision Support System designed to assist social workers responsible for identifying and selecting alternative living arrangements for children unable to remain in their own families. The Continuum of Care System consists of two software packages called MATCH and PROFILE. MATCH produces a rank-ordered list of prospective placement alternatives by statistically comparing an individual child to groups of children previously admitted into different residential facilities. PROFILE summarizes the characteristics and problems of children at each facility in the system.     

Oiling the wheels? Flexible labour markets and the migration industry

ABSTRACT

The growing commercialisation of migration, often through a multiplicity of labour market intermediaries, is an issue of increasing academic interest. We seek to contribute to an emerging research agenda on the migration industries by exploring how one of the key actors that constitutes it, recruitment agencies, sits at the nexus between flexible labour market structures and migrant labour. Interviews with U.K. labour providers and low-wage employers form the evidence base for an analysis of the strategies developed by recruiters to derive commercial gain from connecting the so-called ‘supply’ and ‘demand’ sides of the flexible international labour market. We seek to contribute to understandings of the analytical categories within migration systems by illustrating how the migration industry interacts with other key stakeholders to structure international migration.

韩国的中国现当代诗歌研究视角

韩国对于中国现当代诗歌的研究视角,在1992年韩中两国建交之后发生了根本的变化。通过诗歌认识当时的政治指向并判断诗歌与现实的关系,主要还是韩中学者共同交流的过程中所获得的视角。韩方学者在中国现当代诗歌的研究视角上存在着根本差异,或将作品本身同现实割裂开来,视作独立的个体,或试图实证作品与现实的关系,或全盘收容西方在研究中国现当代诗歌时的方法论。而这些研究视角又都受到资料匮乏的制约。     

论比较诗学及其他者视域的异质文化与非我因素

在全球化时代的汉语学术界,比较诗学研究是中外文论走向汇通性研究所展开的主流方向,比较视域是比较诗学在学科研究上得以安身立命的本体,他者视域是比较视域构成的内在品质,他者视域在比较诗学研究中秉有的两种文化立场。异质文化是比较文学研究者以及国际汉学家所使用的一个专用术语,以语言与民族血亲关系的本质差异性而言,东方文化与西方文化在本质上互为异质文化,即两者互为异类,对方都是自己的非我因素。比较诗学研究者诉求跳出本土学术研究领域的单边文化主义,主张以一种异质文化与非我因素的开放眼光来从事普适性的、整体性的、国际性的中外诗学研究,从而规避本土文论研究的一元性和惟民族性。比较诗学研究中的比较视域主张中外诗学研究之间的相互看视,主张中外诗学双方之间互为他者,认同一个民族的诗学相对于另一个民族诗学来说,两者之间就像镜与灯一样,可以相互镜照与相互照亮。交集理论是比较诗学在学科理论建设上简明及有效回答视域融合及比较研究如何可能的学理观念。
