托尼·莫里森文学创作与文化记忆的建构

由于在历史上经历的文化剥夺和白人文化同化的危险,加上白人的选择性遗忘与黑人的选择性失忆,黑人的文化记忆遭遇着历史性与现实性的危机。针对这种境况,莫里森在小说中矢志不移地建构黑人文化记忆,她的努力体现在其文本的三种功能当中,即文本的记忆媒介功能、见证功能和唤起艺术感染力的功能,这对黑人族裔身份认同及黑人文化与黑人历史的传承起到巨大的促进作用。     

英汉互译中的文化特征与互译解析

语言是文化的载体,也是文化的一个重要组成部分。显性文化特征和隐性文化特征具有独特文化内涵,也传递着独特的文化信息。在尝试前人研究基础上对显性文化特征和隐性文化特征进行了定义,在此基础上以《红楼梦》中文化内涵浓厚的句子为例,对例句翻译进行了分析比较,进而探讨显性文化特征和隐性文化特征语言的翻译。     

黄帝西安行迹考

中华始祖轩辕黄帝与西安市辖区之故土有无关系?今人没有专门论述。其实黄帝与西安有密切关系。首先,据载黄帝时开始冶炼,铸铜鼎象征国家权力,“铸三鼎于荆山之阳”,在西安市阎良区荆山原南。鼎在此,此即当时国家的中心地区。其次,黄帝仙逝之地,汉武帝修建鼎湖延寿宫,其地在西安市蓝田县焦岱镇。再次,黄帝梦游华胥氏国,其地在今蓝田县华胥镇一带。复次,黄帝的史官苍颉创造文字,古代修了纪念性建筑——造书(字)台,在西安市长安区郭杜街办长里村。最后,黄帝时的文明创造：如作宫室、劝蚕稼、做冠冕衣裳、制陶器瓦甑等,在西安的半坡、姜寨等古遗址中多有发现。     

跨文化交流中的文化感知与文化记忆

跨文化交流中不仅要具有语言技能，还要有文化感知能力。本文就东西方表层和深层文化差异指出了文化感知的重要性，并对文化记忆进行了探讨。提出理想的跨文化交际应该是双方相互尊重、相互肯定的动态交流。     

A New Variant of the Bivariate Setting the Clock Back to Zero Property

Raja Rao et al. (1993 Raja Rao , B. , Damaraju , C. V. , Alhumoud , J. M. ( 1993 ). Setting the clock back to zero property of a class of bivariate life distributions . Commun. Statist. Theor. Meth. 22 ( 7 ): 2067 – 2080 .[Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) introduced the bivariate setting the clock back to zero property. A new variant of this property is introduced that is appropriate for analysing a broader area of practical situations. Some distributions possessing the proposed property are presented. Applications of this property for simplifying the computation of the bivariate mean residual life function and the bivariate percentile residual life function are studied. The relation between the proposed property with the one studied by Raja Rao and Talwalker (1990 Raja Rao , B. , Talwalker , S. (1990). Setting the clock back to zero property of a family of life distributions. J. Statist. Plann. Infer. 24:347–352. [Google Scholar]) and the bivariate lack of memory property is studied.     

Edgeworth Expansion for Linear Regression Processes with Long-Memory Errors

This article provides an Edgeworth expansion for the distribution of the log-likelihood derivative LLD of the parameter of a time series generated by a linear regression model with Gaussian, stationary, and long-memory errors. Under some sets of conditions on the regression coefficients, the spectral density function, and the parameter values, an Edgeworth expansion of the density as well as the distribution function of a vector of centered and normalized derivatives of the plug-in log-likelihood PLL function of arbitrarily large order is established. This is done by extending the results of Lieberman et al. (2003 Lieberman , O. , Rousseau , J. , Zucker , D. M. ( 2003 ). Valid edgeworth expansions for the maximum likelihood estimator of the parameter of a stationary. gaussian, strongly dependent processes. it Ann. Statist. 31:586–612 . [Google Scholar]), who provided an Edgeworth expansion for the Gaussian stationary long-memory case, to our present model, which is a linear regression process with stationary Gaussian long-memory errors.     

A Short Note on the Dependence Structure of a Stochastic Process Generated by the Asymmetric Cusp Map

Intermittency maps are well-known to be capable of generating stochastic processes with slowly decaying cross covariances. The present paper considers the asymmetric cusp map and derives an asymptotic lower bound of the autocovariance function of a stochastic process generated by this map. As a consequence, such a stochastic process is shown to belong to the class of long memory processes.     

Further results on discrete mean past lifetime

Abstract

The present paper aims at studying the mean past lifetime of a discrete random variable. The notion of discrete mean past lifetime is studied in relation to the concepts of reversed hazard rate, reversed lack of memory property, and cumulative past entropy. New classes of distributions characterized by particular forms of discrete mean past life are also investigated. Implications of an increasing mean past lifetime on other reliability notions are studied and finally some bivariate generalizations are discussed.     

学习和记忆的个体差异研究进展

个体差异的实验室研究历来在学习和记忆领域占有较为重要的地位,生理缺陷、智力水平、年龄等因素都可能引起学习和记忆的个体差异,它们一方面体现了学习和记忆的相关特征,一方面也促使学习和记忆向更细化的方向发展.从内隐学习、内隐记忆、前瞻记忆和错误记忆四个领域展开讨论并集中分析个体差异的主要影响因素以及它对学习和记忆多重加工机制的促进作用,这种思路和方法在未来的研究中是至关重要的.
