苗瑶语的早期来源及其系属

本文从历史学结合语言学的角度出发，把苗瑶语的早期来源及其发展分化划分为“原始苗瑶语时期”、“南方原始苗瑶语时期”、“北方原始苗瑶语时期”、“原始苗瑶共同语时期”和“原始苗瑶语的分化时期”等五个历史时期，并认为原始苗瑶语的最早形成既不是来源于原始南岛语等原始南方语群，也不是来源于原始汉藏语，而是有自己独立的来源。     

基于国外名校网络公开课的外语通识教育设计

目前我国的外语通识教育由于师资力量、学生水平及课程内容的限制发展较为缓慢,而研究的视野又局限于改革传统教学模式,鲜有将之置于教育国际化的时代背景下来考虑。本文探讨如何以国外名校网络公开课资源为基础,教师和学生共建共享外语通识教育教学语料库,把英语语言、西方文化和多学科知识的学习相融合,培养用英语获取多学科基础知识、独立思考和流畅表达的能力,以达到师生共同成长的效果。     

Orderly mixing and accommodation in South African codeswitching

'Mixed Language,' a characteristic pattern of language use among African township residents in South Africa, may well include words or full constituents from several languages. However, from both a structural and a social perspective, such speech has a systematic nature. In reference to grammatical structure, within any CP (projection of COMP) showing codeswitching, only one language (the Matrix Language) provides the grammatical frame in the data studied. Also, while speakers from different educational levels engage in codeswitching with similar frequencies, the types of codeswitched constitutents they prefer are different. In reference to the social use of language, we argue that specific patterns of codeswitching indicate how language is both an index of identity and a tool of communication in South Africa. In the codeswitching patterns they use, speakers exhibit strong loyalty to their own first languages. Yet, because they recognize that codeswitching facilitates communication with members of other ethnic groups, they use a number of codeswitching strategies as a means of accommodating to their addressees and simultaneously as a means of projecting multiple identities for themselves.

从语音性质谈朗读的理论与实践

朗读学是关于朗读的专门学说,在阅读学、语文教学论的视野下研究朗读非常重要。从语言角度看,朗读把文字语言转化为有声语言是语音的外显、语音的"复活",因此对语音性质的研究,是朗读理论与朗读实践中的重要内容。语音的社会性质是语音的本质属性,其内涵不仅在于字符词语语音形式的表"义",更在于其表"意",更在于有声语流的语音形式如何"传情达意",对朗读起决定作用。朗读者遵循朗读的科学规律与艺术规律,可以更好地实现语言的社会功能。     

英汉双语对比阅读与跨文化交际能力的培养

阅读是外语学习的一种重要手段,它不仅是语言输入的主要来源,也是听、说、写、译等其它技能发展的基础。外语学习的最终目标是能使用该外语进行得体有效的跨文化交际。通过目标明确的英汉双语对比阅读,学习者能更有效地感知英语、汉语在语言和文化上的相通与不同,从而能有效提高他们的跨文化交际能力。

Multicultural awareness through English: a potential contribution of TESOL in Greek schools

The cultural diversity now evident in Greek society creates educational challenges and opportunities. Space to address these is provided by the multicultural awareness aspects of the discourse of the Cross‐Thematic Curriculum Framework (CTCF). For English language classes, multicultural direction is provided through the disciplinary discussion of new teaching paradigm possibilities. In particular, these discussions encourage us to explore the repositioning of English teaching in Greek state schooling from a foreign language orientation towards a multicultural one. In this article, having set the context, we present the Multicultural Awareness Through English (MATE) paradigm. We conclude by illustrating the MATE paradigm in action.
