The effect of domain prestige and interlocutors' bilingualism on loanword adaptations

There is great variability in whether foreign sounds in loanwords are adapted, such that segments show cross‐word and cross‐situational variation in adaptation. Previous research proposed that word frequency, speakers' level of bilingualism and neighborhoods' level of bilingualism can explain such variability. We test for the effect of these factors and propose two additional factors: interlocutors' level of bilingualism and the prestige of the donor language in the loanword's domain. Analyzing elicited productions of loanwords from Spanish into Mexicano in a village where Spanish and Mexicano enjoy prestige in complementary domains, we show that interlocutors' bilingualism and prestige influence the rate of sound adaptation. Additionally, we find that speakers accommodate to their interlocutors, regardless of the interlocutors' level of bilingualism. As retention of foreign sounds can lead to sound change, these results show that social factors can influence changes in a language's sound system.

传统红色文化模因在新时期的变异与顺应

模因论是一种基于达尔文进化论观点来解释文化进化规律的新理论,为文化传播提供了新视角。文化模因传播遵循着文化进化的规律,经历着保留、变异和顺应的动态进化历程。从模因的视角看,红色文化模因随着时代和社会环境的变化而发生了变异,红色文化模因的变异顺应了人们的精神需求、人们的认知因素和时代前瞻需求。而红色文化模因在新时期的变异与顺应促进了红色文化模因的成功复制,加速了红色文化模因的传播。     

论电影在戏剧文学改编中的时间问题——以日本影片《蜘蛛巢城》对莎士比亚戏剧《麦克白》的改编为例

自电影诞生以来,由著名戏剧文学改编而成的电影作品不计其数。更有许多电影将其他民族的戏剧文本改头换面,成功地搬上了本国银幕。然而这两门时间艺术的本体又是截然不同的。以日本影片《蜘蛛巢城》对莎士比亚戏剧《麦克白》的改编为例,它的成功建立于创作者对戏剧时间与电影时间的深刻理解,以及对不同民族时间观的深入认识。正是有了这样的创作基础,才使得这样一部跨文化、跨艺术门类的改编之作,既保存了原剧作的艺术精华,同时又被赋以独具魅力的本土文化特色。     

环境互动论——一种基于人行为的路径选择

人的发展和成熟,从来都是在内部环境与外部环境的互动中完成的。人自身的内部心理环境构成了人适应自然环境和社会环境的基础,而人适应环境的过程即是基于外部环境变迁造成的被动选择。从欧洲主权债务危机后欧洲民众的表现,到世界范围内新兴经济体面临的"通胀压力",其实质上已经超越了单边环境互动的过程。正是基于这样一种路径选择,危机中人的行为适应性,以及危机后人的行为选择性,成为环境变迁中必须持续关注的问题。

ABSTRACT

Home Futures, the major exhibition at the Design Museum, London, and IKEA Museum Sweden, explores the trajectory of radical domestic visions from the 1960s—but it seems that the future was closer in the 1960s than now.     

利益格局的嬗变与道德指向的调整

伴随着社会转型,中国社会利益格局和价值观念呈现多元化态势,但文化道德理念在许多方面还停留在与一元社会相契合的水平,并没有从总体上应答现代社会转型所提出的新要求。市场经济作为一种经济运行机制,有其自身的道德要求,需要道德规范的支持。市场的逐利行为并非天然合理,它必须是有约束的;而且市场经济并非是我们社会生活的全部,所以我们仍然需要一种超越性的道德指引。     

Urban human ecology

Cities are human ecosystems. Eight primary concepts assist us in understanding human ecosystems in terms of variability, time, and complexity. These concepts include: systems thinking; language, culture, and technology; structure, function, and change; edges, boundaries, and ecotones; interaction, integration, and institution; diversity; adaptation; and holism. Hierarchy theory presents a framework for organizing these concepts. Human settlements can be viewed hierarchically, that is, from a more immediate scale to the global. In this paper, the eight concepts will be explored and applied to the urban context. The exploration of human ecology is useful to design and plan the built environment. The ability to respond to change and to adjust actions positively helps to determine the resilience of cities     

传统哲学与马克思主义哲学的认知共性

中国传统哲学与马克思主义哲学在唯物论、认识论、辩证法和唯物史观等方面有很多共性。从理论上而言,这些共性是马克思主义哲学中国化的重要前提。     

广东退休老人社会适应研究

在广东较深刻的社会转型和变迁时期,退休老人社会适应问题更加显现。本文主要利用广州老年人口抽样调查资料和住养老院退休老人的访谈资料,分析评价了退休老人的社会适应状况。研究表明,退休老人社会适应总体状况一般,但不同类别的老人对不同内容层面的适应状况差异较大;应采取多样性的措施提高退休老人的社会适应能力。
