《孟子音义》中孙奭音注反映的宋初语音

《孟子音义》中孙奭音注与《广韵》音系基本一致,但也存在着36条与《广韵》《集韵》音韵地位不同的音注材料,这些音注材料所反映出的宋初实际语音现象有:云影、书生、以邪相混,浊音清化;仙元、锡昔相混,重纽有别;浊上变去。     

语言演化与生物演化

语言的产生如同生物的诞生,经历了由无序到有序、无机至有机的演变;语言的演化和发展也与生物的进化相同,经音变、自然选择、隔离等机制,发展成既有门、纲、目、属,又有生态位,庞大复杂的语言生物网络。语言产生和演化的生物学比较分析进一步证实语言是一个活生生的物体。

语境规约下的民航通话英语语音改造

民航通话英语作为一种ESP英语,其特殊的语言使用环境赋予它很多自身的特点。研究民航通话英语语音改造,能发现民航英语的语用语境对其语音改造具有规约性:民航语境首先通过对语义的约束,从而在发音、声学、听觉方面制约民航通话英语语音改造。     

从爆破音变体的语流环境看音系结构特征

爆破音的种种变体,不仅仅是一种单纯的发音问题,还在一定的程度上从一个侧面反映了英语音系结构的特征;英语爆破音变体发生的语流环境是一个外显的语音现象,在深层次上受着英语特有的音系结构的支持,而且,多变的语音受着固定不变的音系结构支持。这些特征决定了音系结构是非线性的。     

音乐模因与英语语音习得

On Fuzzy Expressions in English

In this paper I attempt to explain my general understanding of fuzzy expressions in language, and I take English as an example. Fuzziness is one of the basic characteristics of language. It differs from generality, ambiguity and vagueness. There are many examples of fuzzy expressions in English. I supply examples of color words, some adjectives and linguistic hedges. Finally I attempt to explain fuzziness from pragmatic point of view.     

Effects of Outcome and Probabilistic Ambiguity on Managerial Choices

Information ambiguity is prevalent in organizations and likely influences management decisions. This study examines, given imprecise probabilities and outcomes, how managers make choices when they are provided with single-figure benchmarks. Seventy-nine MBA students completed two experiments. We found that, in a decision framed as a decision under certainty involving an ambiguous outcome, the majority of the subjects were ambiguity prone in the loss condition and switched to ambiguity aversion in the gain condition. However, in the presence of probabilistic ambiguity in a decision under risk, this expected switching pattern was shown only when the difference in riskiness between the two choice options (in the loss condition) was perceived to be relatively small. In a companion study, we used a written protocol approach to identify factors that affect decision makers' investment choices when faced with ambiguous outcomes. Protocols frequently mentioned that the ambiguous outcome option was risky, even in the case which was framed as a decision under certainty in the problem statement. In a decision under risk with ambiguous outcomes, the combination of probabilistic risk and outcome ambiguity was seen as even more risky.     

生成音位学重音规则解析交际英语歧义现象

运用“生成音位学”的基本原理和规则,可揭示词语结构元素的内在特征和元素的组织方式及其规律,并解析交际英语中连读、同音异义及句法结构等引起的歧义问题。生成音位学重音规则对指导交际英语和处理语音歧义问题的研究有着重要的意义,同时也为二语使用者处理交际语言歧义问题提供了理论依据。     

《公莫巾舞歌行》新解

《公莫巾舞歌行》是自《宋书·乐志》载录以来长期没人能圆满解读的一篇奇文,几成“千古疑案”。从 新的角度考索发现,《公莫巾舞歌行》实际上是既跳《公莫舞》,又演唱乐府诗《公莫歌行》,同时还包括“歌行”原文的 演出流程记录。原诗确实是感情真挚、音韵和谐的“乐府”佳作。这篇“奇文”可称为“杂录体”。
