Dynamics of Mixed Coalitions Under Social Cohesion Constraints

ABSTRACT

Parameters for the birth and death diffusion life table model subject to downward jumps randomly occurring at a constant rate are estimated. The jump magnitudes have a beta distribution with support [0, l_x ], where l_x is the total number of survivors prior to the jump. The estimation method is maximum likelihood. The Cramer–Rao Lower bound and the asymptotic distribution for the MLE are derived. The model is applied to the U.S. men′s population from 1900 to 1999.     

An alternative measure of social wellbeing: analysing the key conceptual and statistical components of quality of life

Statisticians, policy makers and social researchers widely accept that there is a need to consider a more nuanced range of measures of quality of life that move beyond the economic domain and that take into account key aspects of an individual's life circumstances. Using data from an Australian household survey, a composite Wellbeing Index was created that covered objective circumstances, with known associations to wellbeing, evaluated from the individual's subjective viewpoint. The robustness of the measure comes from the fact that while covering a broad range of key dimensions, the index only includes the items deemed important components of wellbeing by a majority of respondents. The index was then used to explore the extent to which wellbeing is associated with other dimensions of quality of life that have currency in the contemporary literature. The study contributes to the contemporary debate on social wellbeing and adds new Australian evidence to a body of research that has been mainly based on European and American data.     

英语阐释性说明文层级连贯

针对英语专业作文中存在的主题不够突出、结构不合理、条理性不清等连贯性问题,结合低语境文化、主位推进模式、衔接手段等理论,提出英语阐释性说明文层级连贯作为解决方案。采用实证研究法,对英语专业实验班和对照班的阐释性说明文进行了层级连贯的横向和纵向对比研究。结果证明：层级连贯培训有助于学生作文水平的提高,培训后学生作文在主题、结构和条理性方面有明显进步。

英汉逻辑衔接时空关系的显性隐性转换特点探究

英汉语篇逻辑衔接中的时空关系有显性与隐性之分,翻译过程中二者之间的转换一是通过简单的"显性"与"隐性"易位来实现,二是通过"关系转换"来实现。其目的之一是可以丰富语篇对比研究,二是可以使译者在翻译实践中更加贴切地再现原文的逻辑关系。     

应用衔接理论改进英语写作教学的实证性研究

衔接手段在语篇构建中起着重要作用,它不仅是深刻理解语篇的重要手段,同时也是有效创造语篇的基础,理论上认为衔接手段与语篇构建质量的有密切关系.本文将韩礼德和哈桑的衔接理论应用到英语写作教学中进行实证性研究.通过实验数据可以看出教师有意识的教会学生理解和运用衔接手段可以提高学生写作的能力.     

浅析《中国日报》英语纯新闻报道中导语的词汇特征

消息主要有标题,导语和正文三大部分组成。其中,导语是消息区别于其他文体的重要标志。它以简练而生动的文字表述新闻事件中的最重要的内容。本文借助语料库语言学的相关知识对新闻导语语料库进行了定性和定量分析,试图探究导语的词汇特征。

从系统功能语法的语篇衔接功能理论出发,以莎士比亚的第18首十四行诗作为语料,从语音、词汇和语法几方面分析诗中的语篇衔接手段,旨在进一步检验系统功能理论在语篇研究中的可操作性和可应用性,加强读者对衔接理论的掌握,同时对读者解读Sonnet 18有所帮助。     

英汉省略对比研究及翻译策略

省略是英汉语言共有的一种语篇衔接方式.本文从省略的定义及其衔接功能出发,分析了英汉语言中省略的相似性与差异,并探讨了在英汉互译中省略的翻译策略.     

基于书面语的语篇衔接与连贯的显性研究

作为篇章语言学的一个重要范畴,语篇衔接与连贯受到语言教学领域越来越多的重视和应用。语言教学应从传统词句为主走向以篇章为主,从更为广泛和宏观的角度来对待语言教学。本文分析了对书面语篇所体现的显性的语篇衔接与连贯,阐述了教与学中衔接与连贯理论的实际应用。
