英语发展之哲学思考和启示——兼论语言优劣观之错误

英语原是日耳曼语族的一个小语种,经历了“词形变化完整期”、“词形变化消减期”、“词形变化消失期”三个阶段,其发展饱受了多种磨难,最终却发展为当今公认的“全球性”语言。由此可见:语言无论大小、强弱,都没有优劣和贵贱之分。只要广泛吸收、融各家之长就能强大起来。这些值得我们汉语借鉴。     

The State, Institutional Transition and the Creation of New Urban Poverty in China

Since the 1990s, the introduction of a market economy and the process of rapid urbanization have been accompanied by a new urban poverty related to lay‐offs and unemployment as well as by large‐scale rural–urban migration, which is different from the traditional urban poverty of the ‘Three Nos’ (no relatives or dependants, no working capacity and no source of income). This article focuses on new urban poverty in China under market transition and discusses the causes of poverty creation. Instead of considering Chinese new urban poverty only as a result of market mechanisms, it argues that the state as the manipulator of institutions and policies does matter in the creation of new urban poverty, and that the cleavages between the old and new institutions further intensify it. Specifically, the following aspects of the creation of new urban poverty are examined in detail: the adjustment of industrial policy, the reform of state‐owned enterprises, evolution of the household registration system, and the transformation of the welfare state.     

论网络语言的后现代文化内涵

网络语言的许多特点暗合了后现代的价值观念和文化内涵。具体表现为:网络语言自由解构语言规范的特点体现了后现代“去中心”、“去权威”的文化精神;网络语言充斥大量数字语的特点,体现了后现代“数字化”、“计算机化”的知识特征;网络语言倾向于简单直观表达的特点,体现了后现代“平面化”、“表层化”的思维模式;网络语言盛行“大话”式言语的特点体现了后现代“游戏化”、“娱乐化”的文化风格。     

维吾尔语主位结构与句子主语关系研究

以韩礼德和汤普森关于主位结构的理论为依据,分析维语各种语气结构中的主语和单项主位的关系,发现维语主语在多数情况下充当无标记性主位,主语和主位的重合在陈述句中最为明显。但是,维语主语有时也可以充当无标记性述位。     

论模糊修辞在英语广告中的应用

广告是一门浓缩的、综合的、商业性的艺术。广告语言是一种特殊的语言,它通常借助于模糊修辞的恰当使用来赋予并传达出广告语言的音韵美、意象美,以此来吸引受众,最终达到广告的根本目的。     

Rainfall interception by Santa Monica's municipal urban forest

Effects of urban forests on rainfall interception and runoff reduction have been conceptualized, but not well quantified. In this study rainfall interception by street and park trees in Santa Monica, California is simulated. A mass and energy balance rainfall interception model is used to simulate rainfall interception processes (e.g., gross precipitation, free throughfall, canopy drip, stemflow, and evaporation). Annual rainfall interception by the 29,299 street and park trees was 193,168 m³ (6.6 m³/tree), or 1.6% of total precipitation. The annual value of avoided stormwater treatment and flood control costs associated with reduced runoff was $110,890 ($3.60/tree). Interception rate varied with tree species and sizes. Rainfall interception ranged from 15.3% (0.8 m³/tree) for a small Jacaranda mimosifolia (3.5 cm diameter at breast height) to 66.5% (20.8 m³/tree) for a mature Tristania conferta (38.1 cm). In a 25-year storm, interception by all street and park trees was 12,139.5 m³ (0.4%), each tree yielding $0.60 (0.4 m³/tree) in avoided flood control costs. Rainfall interception varied seasonally, averaging 14.8% during a 21.7 mm winter storm and 79.5% during a 20.3 mm summer storm for a large, deciduous Platanus acerifolia tree. Effects of differences in temporal precipitation patterns, tree population traits, and pruning practices on interception in Santa Monica, Modesto, and Sacramento, California are described.     

人性复归:走向人类文化终极指归的语文教育

本族语、目标语和中介语三语相交的二语习得理论模型

依据格语法中的格框架理论分析了英国国家语料库(BNC)中动词adapt, cost和survive的语言使用情况并作了较精细的统计,同时依据格框架理论分析了中国英语学习者语料库(CLEC)中同这三个动词相关的误用、滥用和少用现象,并进行了较精细的统计. 在此分析和统计的基础上,对Harmerly等人的中介语理论模型提出了质疑,进而提出了一个本族语、目标语和中介语三语相交的第二语言习得模型.     

网络文学与文学本质

网络文学的出现再次激起我们对“文学本质”的追问。网络文学文本的生存形式从一个全新的层面给我们提供了一个较全面关照和认识文学 (及其传统 )的视角 ,只有以开放的心态和宽容的态度面对文学现实本身 ,我们才能更清楚地看清文学自身的逻辑 ,从而更接近和理解文学的本质。
