西部裕固语的历史地位与使用现状

西部裕固语是我国独有的突厥语之一．由于它有不少自己的特点．所以在同语族语言中具有特殊的地位。近百年来,这种语言引起了中外突厥学界的极大兴趣,有些研究成果对于比较研究和突厥语言史的研究具有重要意义。但是,这种语言的现状不容乐观．使用人数急剧减少,使用范围日益缩小。     

大学英语视听说翻转课堂教学模式的构建与实施

“翻转课堂”,即将知识传授和知识内化的顺序颠倒安排。知识传授由学生在课前自主完成,知识内化则放到课堂上实现,即从“课堂授课听讲+课后完成作业”转变为“课前自主学习+课堂协作探究”。从分析当前大学英语视听说的教学现状入手,阐述了以TBLT为基础的英语视听说翻转课堂的构建与实施,并进一步指出这种新型教学模式所带来的优势和挑战,以期为大学英语视听说教学更为合理、有效地利用翻转课堂模式提供一定的借鉴和参考。     

论布迪厄的社会语言学——“语言交换的经济”理论

"语言交换的经济"理论是布迪厄社会语言学的核心思想.它主要包括以下几个方面的内容:语言是一种可供交换的经济资本;语言交换有一定的市场与调节规则;语言交换是言说者运用策略与技巧的言语行为;语言关系总是符号权力的关系."语言交换的经济"理论表明,在复杂的社会关系网络中,各种社会主体与有资本形式有很大差异.该理论也揭示了隐藏在言说者背后的诸多复杂社会因素,揭示了语言交换在权力关系的无形操纵下,人们为了利益运用各种策略进行"交换"的真实面目.     

印欧语系的起源及特点

比较语言学将人类语言分为29个语系,印欧语系是其中影响最大、分布最广的语系之一。印欧语系包括10个语族,50多种语言。印欧语系以北欧为中心向欧洲大陆东、西两端延伸,在南亚次大陆及非洲南端等地区也有分布。从进化论的角度分析,印欧语系的祖先可能是库尔干人、盖尔·凯尔特人、亚利安人或土耳其人。印欧语系的辅音系统的发音方式主要有爆破音、鼻音、延续音和半辅音,其发音部位主要有唇、齿、硬腭和软腭。

English and discourses of commodification among tourism workers in the Himalayas

In this article, I investigate commodification discourses and ideologies of English from the perspective of Nepali tourism workers. Drawing data from interviews with porters and trekking guides in Nepal, I argue that English is not seen as merely a transactional means to convey meaning; it works in combination with the traditional form of labor and care in the local economy, establishing itself as a powerful tool to establish closer interpersonal relationships, enhance such interpersonal relationships for economic gains and commodify local identities and cultures in the tourism market. The interview and ethnographic details show that language learners are agentive and capable of making sense of their actions by positioning themselves variously in terms of ethnicity, economic class and job category. These workers think that tourists' linguistic and financial resources are the empowering tools that enable them to travel to locations that they want. They also want to empower themselves with English skills and translocal imaginaries to travel and see the world beyond their immediate reach. Repertoires in English are considered as instruments to mediate their imaginaries and the foreign worlds they want to be part of.     

Young Norwegians and their views on climate change and the future: findings from a climate concerned and oil-rich nation

Young people represent the future, but little is known about their attitudes towards climate change, one of the most serious issues facing the world today. The purpose of the present study is to contribute with improved and new knowledge of young Norwegians’ understanding of and attitudes towards this issue, with a special focus on perspectives of the future. Of particular interest is the influence of divergent framings of the climate question in Norway, due to conflicting interests between the petroleum industry and climate concern. The young people's voices are elicited through two different surveys undertaken during the fall of 2013, one national (Norwegian Citizen Panel) and one local (School survey conducted among high-school students). The study generated both quantitative and qualitative findings, stemming from closed-ended as well as open-ended questions. The data were handled through a mixed methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative analyses. The results show that the voices tend to be oriented towards the opinion that Norway has a responsibility to help poor countries as well as a duty to prevent climate change and that the country should reduce its oil production. We further observe that young Norwegians have an optimistic view of the future, based on a pronounced belief in technology and science.     

通向《逻辑哲学论》神秘主义的双重路径

《逻辑哲学论》中的神秘主义是前期维特根斯坦的重要思想之一。西方学者对这一思想的具体内容以及它同《逻辑哲学论》中其他思想之间的关系评价不一,而且这些评价都有自身的局限性。事实上,如果从全局的视域来考察《逻辑哲学论》就会发现,通往神秘主义有两条路径:一条是语言哲学的路径;另一条是逻辑哲学的路径。神秘主义是维特根斯坦对有意义的科学命题和缺少意义的逻辑命题进行分析所推导出的一个逻辑结论,它与《逻辑哲学论》中的图像论和逻辑哲学是一个不可分割的整体,这种整体性表明维特根斯坦力图实现经验的自然科学、先验的逻辑学和超验的伦理学的统一。     

论价值语言

语言有描述语言和价值语言之分。虽然在纯粹的描述语言和纯粹的价值语言之间也存在兼有描述和价值二重性的混合语言,但这并不能作为没有描述语言与价值语言之分野的依据。价值语言有两种功能,一是评价对象,一是指令人。价值语言的类型有评价语言与指令语言、自然价值语言与人工价值语言、肯定性价值语言与否定性价值语言、原生价值语言与派生价值语言之分。价值语言内部还存在四个级别的差异,它们相互之间存在统摄与被统摄的关系,并由此形成一个有内在逻辑关联的有机系统。价值语言在性质上似乎与以真假为值的传统语言逻辑不相容,但实际上,价值语言也一直遵守的是传统语言逻辑。如果我们将传统语言逻辑所注重的真假值改为对错值,那么,传统逻辑就既可在实际上与价值语言相容,也可在名义上和性质上与价值语言相容。     

试论胡适的“白话唐诗”观

胡适认为,白话是"活"的语言,言文一致,优美而适用。他从白话化和历史进化的双维同构视角,发掘、建构了一部中国白话文学谱系,并且指出它是中国文学的正宗。他认为大多数唐诗都是白话文学、或近于白话的作品,代表着文学演进的正确方向。这种新的阐释不仅是对唐诗遗产价值的肯定,也是对东方文化中具有普世意义成分价值的维护。胡适的"白话文学(唐诗)"观与他对祖国本土文学资源有较多的感性认识相关,但主要还是得益于世界文化史、科学史和学术史的启迪。
