基于多模态学术英语口语语料库的中国理工科大学生单词重音位移研究

基于自建多模态学术英语口语语料库对中国理工科大学生单词重音位移进行研究,分析了主要单词重音位移、主要单词重音位移分布、不同年级不同性别学生之间重音位移标准频数以及是否具有显著性差异。研究表明,单词重音位移主要发生在多音节词发音中,并且单词重音位移至第二音节的频次最多。从不同年级、不同性别学生之间的对比分析来看,一年级学生重音位移标准频数多于二年级学生,女生重音位移标准频数多于男生,但不同年级、不同性别学生之间重音位移均不具有显著性差异。在总结研究结果的基础上提出教学和学习建议。     

Risk and Quantification: A Linguistic Study

In risk analysis and research, the concept of risk is often understood quantitatively. For example, risk is commonly defined as the probability of an unwanted event or as its probability multiplied by its consequences. This article addresses (1) to what extent and (2) how the noun risk is actually used quantitatively. Uses of the noun risk are analyzed in four linguistic corpora, both Swedish and English (mostly American English). In total, over 16,000 uses of the noun risk are studied in 14 random (n = 500) or complete samples (where n ranges from 173 to 5,144) of, for example, news and magazine articles, fiction, and websites of government agencies. In contrast to the widespread definition of risk as a quantity, a main finding is that the noun risk is mostly used nonquantitatively. Furthermore, when used quantitatively, the quantification is seldom numerical, instead relying on less precise expressions of quantification, such as high risk and increased risk. The relatively low frequency of quantification in a wide range of language material suggests a quantification bias in many areas of risk theory, that is, overestimation of the importance of quantification in defining the concept of risk. The findings are also discussed in relation to fuzzy‐trace theory. Findings of this study confirm, as suggested by fuzzy‐trace theory, that vague representations are prominent in quantification of risk. The application of the terminology of fuzzy‐trace theory for explaining the patterns of language use are discussed.     

Heteroglossia in text‐messaging: Performing identity and negotiating relationships in a digital space

This article uses Bakhtin's concept of heteroglossia to explore how linguistic repertoires are exploited in the performance of identity and management of relationships through text‐messaging. The study focuses on text‐messages sent and received by ‘Laura’, a middle‐class woman who has returned from university to her family home in rural England. Qualitative analysis of Laura's texted exchanges, informed by quantitative corpus data and ethnographic interview, details the role of heteroglossia as Laura and her interlocutors position themselves in relation to each other and negotiate differences in gender, class, education, past experience, and personal aspiration. The study shows how heteroglossia can emerge even in interactions between individuals from similar backgrounds with largely shared language resources, and highlights the need for sociolinguistic studies of linguistic repertoire to consider the part that digitally‐mediated linguistic resources play in individuals’ wider identity projects.     

对语料库中高年级学生写作词汇搭配错误的分析

分析和探讨了《中国学习者英语语料库》中标注的动词+名词和形容词+名词搭配错误及其原因。研究发现：对于动词+ 名词搭配错误,由于搭配的意义主要是由名词决定的,忽视或违背搭配的固定性并不影响对整个搭配意思的理解,但缺乏地道 的搭配会影响写作的准确性。对于形容词+名词搭配错误,L1干扰是主要的原因。词语搭配运用是否得当,会影响到写作的 准确性和地道性。帮助学习者掌握搭配类型,利用语料库学习和探索搭配,能有效地解决学习者写作中词不达意的问题,提高 写作表达的准确性。

《四库全书总目》的文学史观和文体观——以集部大小序为中心

《四库全书总目》是中国古代最系统的一部文化史、学术史,其中《集部》则是一部叙录体的中国文学批评史,而其大小序则是中国文学批评史提纲。《集部总序》讲《四库全书》集部分为五类的原因,认为集部的别出,是汉代文词自觉的结果,文词的自觉是文学自觉的重要标志。《楚辞类序》对《楚辞》别出一类的原因从传统和形式上作了分析,但未能像《隋志》那样从思想内容上阐述其独特的风格和别列的原因。《总集序》讲总集的源头和分类,它提出的《诗经》是集部之祖的观点,是对经学传统观的挑战。《诗文评序》把诗文评著作分成五类,并对各类的特点进行了简要分析;对“诗文评”在目录学中的地位嬗变作了说明,大体理清了中国文学批评史的发展脉络。     

中国《政府工作报告》英译本词汇特征——基于语料库的研究

以中国《政府工作报告》英文译文和美国《国情咨文》为语料,以语料库语言学方法对两个语料库中的词汇特征进行了对比分析。研究结果表明,这两个在功能上相同的文本在词汇特征上存在差异。分析了差异产生的原因,并探讨了《政府工作报告》在词汇方面的翻译是否符合英语本族语者使用习惯并被他们所接受。还根据研究结果对今后《政府工作报告》的翻译提出了建议。
