诗·言·思——试论中国古代哲学言语与思维的诗化

中国古代哲人虽然认为语言有很大局限性,却非常重视意象化的言语方式.他们以比喻、对反、反复为主要方式,打破名言、概念的片面规定性,把语言的混整性、不确定性都突现出来,使得在古代早期哲学著作中,诗、语言与思,哲学、文学与审美之间的界限消解了.而语言的诗化,不仅在于语言学上的修辞方式,而且根植于中国古代天人合一、阴阳对反、循环往复的共时态思维和空间化的“诗性时间”之中.空间化时间具有一个非线性发展的同时性结构,蕴含着一种诗性本源.     

言语行为视阈下医患会话权势不对等关系探析

本研究运用言语行为理论作为解释框架,对医生和患者会话中的言语行为进行分类比较与分析,进而揭示医院门诊医患会话中的权势关系。研究表明,在门诊医患会话交际中会呈现出一种权势关系,这种权势关系往往是不对等的。医生常用发问、阐述、指令类言语行为来询问患者或诊断病情,通过履行自己的职责来体现权势的优越性,而处于权力弱势地位的患者却以应答、陈述、表达类言语行为来回应医生,以表示顺从与尊敬。     

Standing Up for the Victim,Siding with the Bully or Standing by? Bystander Responses in Bullying Situations

In this study we examined children's self‐efficacy, outcome expectations, and outcome values in relation to bystander responses in bullying situations. We proposed that beyond the effect of self‐efficacy, the decision to defend the victim of bullying vs. remain passive vs. reinforce the bully depends on outcomes children expect from defending, and on the value they place on these outcomes. Our sample consisted of 6397 Finnish children (3232 girls and 3165 boys) from third, fourth, and fifth grades (mean ages 9–11 years). Results showed that the motivational underpinnings of defending the victim, remaining passive, and reinforcing the bully varied. Defending was associated with the expectation that the victim feels better as a result of defending as well as valuing such an outcome. Reinforcement of bullying was associated with negative expectations and not caring about the positive outcomes. Conflicting expectations and values were linked to remaining passive. Results are discussed in terms of their implications for anti‐bullying interventions.

Unpacking Within‐Household Gender Differences in Partners' Subjective Benefits From Household Income

The authors examine how contributions to household resources, indicated by employment status, influence satisfaction with household income (SWHI) for members of male/female couples. They take changes in SWHI, which may differ within couples, to indicate changes in perceived benefits from their common household income, benefits that can go beyond individual consumption. Using data from the British Household Panel Survey for 2,396 couples from 1996 to 2007, three gender effects are identified. First, men predominate in making the type of contribution that most positively influences SWHI, namely, full‐time employment. Second, the effect of contributions depends on the gender of the contributor, with men's employment being more influential than women's. Third, within couples, making the more influential contribution, as men tend to do, leads to relatively greater SWHI. The authors conclude that gender asymmetry in contributions made to household resources is one way in which gender inequalities invade and inhabit households.     

G.H. Mead's Understanding of the Nature of Speech in the Light of Contemporary Research

The following analysis demonstrates that G.H. Mead's understanding of human speech (what Mead often referred to as “the vocal gesture”) is remarkably consistent with today's interdisciplinary field that studies speech as a natural behavior with an evolutionary history. Mead seems to have captured major empirical and theoretical insights more than half a century before the contemporary field began to take shape. In that field the framework known as “Tinbergen's Four Questions,” developed in ecology to study naturally occurring behavior in nonhuman animals, has been an effective organizing framework for research on human speech. It is used in this paper to organize the comparison of Mead with contemporary scholars. The analysis concludes that Mead was, in a sense, “beyond” the Four Questions by recognizing the limitations of reductionist methods in understanding the nature of conscious phenomena, especially language. Mead's socially situated model of the nature of human speech makes him relevant to today's field where some see an undervaluation of the treatment of language as a social process.
