先秦诸子散文颜色词语法及认知特点

选取先秦经典诸子散文六部,对其颜色词范畴的使用情况进行了统计,分析了颜色词的搭配对象,对颜色词的语义进行了解释。在此基础上,发现先秦颜色词的语法特点和认知特点:从语法上看,表现为颜色名词大量出现、颜色动词逐渐增加、颜色词受到副词修饰。从认知上看,表现为六大颜色范畴基本成型、颜色认知体现出不均衡态势、典型颜色凸显、对白、黑、红三种颜色的认知更显精细、颜色词隐喻更具体生动等方面。     

英语话语标记语之构式语法分析——以“Imean”为例

话语标记语“Imean”有多种语用功能意义。在构式语法的框架下,试图把“Imean”作为一个构式来研究,分析其形式、意义、功能,然后在此基础上提出“Imean”的形成是一个语法化的结果这样一个假设,是从第一人称的动补构式[verb＋complement]语法化为话语标记语构式[discoursemarker]。构式语法可以成功解释语法化的诱因。这样的分析可促进运用构式语法对话语标记语的研究,同时也显示出构式语法的强大解释力。     

从批评语言学视角看名词化隐喻在法律语篇中的功能

名词化隐喻是法律英语极为明显的特征,在法律语篇中大量存在。批评语言学指出,语言具有概念功能、人际功能和语篇功能。在批评语言学基础上,名词化隐喻在法律语篇中具有的元功能包括：属性名物化;隐去施动者,尽量降低人际功能的发挥;转移信息焦点,增强语篇衔接连贯功能;增强表达的信息密集度,增强语篇的简洁连贯功能。     

中国《政府工作报告》英译本词汇特征——基于语料库的研究

以中国《政府工作报告》英文译文和美国《国情咨文》为语料,以语料库语言学方法对两个语料库中的词汇特征进行了对比分析。研究结果表明,这两个在功能上相同的文本在词汇特征上存在差异。分析了差异产生的原因,并探讨了《政府工作报告》在词汇方面的翻译是否符合英语本族语者使用习惯并被他们所接受。还根据研究结果对今后《政府工作报告》的翻译提出了建议。     

汉语自动分词理论对英语教学的启示

计算语言学是从语言学中分离开来的学科交叉的门类。汉语自动分词是计算语言学中的一个热门研究方向,研究发现,汉语自动分词的语料库、最大匹配法、分词规范、歧义问题、未登录词等理论知识对英语教学有很好的启发作用。     

奈达现象”在中国翻译界的新发展

奈达的翻译思想从20世纪80年代初开始介绍到中国大陆,在国内译界曾一度形成＂言必称奈达＂的局面。基于陈宏薇（2001）将前20年分四个阶段的研究,本文通过调查对奈达理论的引文情况,对2001-2008年《中国翻译》上发表的研究文献按第五、第六阶段进行了全面梳理,归纳和分析了＂奈达现象＂在中国的发展趋势：发现经过第四阶段对奈达翻译理论的批判性接受,＂奈达现象＂在第五阶段走向低谷;在第六阶段转向成为研究热点,由此说明我国的翻译研究出现＂回归语言学＂倾向。最后提出当前中国译界引用西方翻译理论应与时俱进。     

论语篇分析的多维性

语篇是社会行为,语篇技术将制约人类的生存。社会学研究者纷纷从语言的角度去探究社会现象,语篇分析成为社会学与语言学联结的纽带。不仅如此,语篇分析还是语言学与认知科学的结合体。通过回顾相关文献,阐述了语篇分析的多维性。     

A quadratic lower bound for colourful simplicial depth

We show that any point in the convex hull of each of (d+1) sets of (d+1) points in ℝ ^d is contained in at least ⌊(d+2)²/4⌋ simplices with one vertex from each set.

Computing the conditional stationary distribution in Markov chains of level-dependent M/G/1-type

This paper considers the computation of the conditional stationary distribution in Markov chains of level-dependent M/G/1-type, given that the level is not greater than a predefined threshold. This problem has been studied recently and a computational algorithm is proposed under the assumption that matrices representing downward jumps are nonsingular. We first show that this assumption can be eliminated in a general setting of Markov chains of level-dependent G/G/1-type. Next we develop a computational algorithm for the conditional stationary distribution in Markov chains of level-dependent M/G/1-type, by modifying the above-mentioned algorithm slightly. In principle, our algorithm is applicable to any Markov chain of level-dependent M/G/1-type, if the Markov chain is irreducible and positive-recurrent. Furthermore, as an input to the algorithm, we can set an error bound for the computed conditional distribution, which is a notable feature of our algorithm. Some numerical examples are also provided.     

The flavours of love: A cross‐cultural lexical analysis

Linguists have often remarked upon the polysemous nature of love, whereby the term encompasses a wide diversity of emotional relationships. Several typologies have been constructed to account for this diversity. However, these tend to be restricted in scope, and fail to fully represent the range of experiences signified by the term ‘love’ in discourse. In the interest of generating an expanded typology of love, encompassing its varied forms, an enquiry was conducted into relevant concepts found across the world's cultures, focusing on so‐called untranslatable words. Through a quasi‐systematic search of published and internet sources, 609 relevant words were identified. These were organised through a version of grounded theory into 14 categories, representing 14 different forms or ‘flavours’ of love. The result is an expanded theoretical treatment of love, allowing us to better appreciate the nuances of this most cherished and yet polysemous of concepts.
