从《醒世姻缘传》看汉语句式结构的层面渗透

汉语句式结构框架在其产生之后并非静止不动，除其自身的丰富发展之外，它还向不同的语法结构层面渗透，汉语词、词组、句子在结构关系上所具有的一致性由此产生。明末清初白话小说《醒世姻缘传》中的比拟句、“把”字句等就充分显示了汉语句式结构的这种中间过渡状态。     

论中国婚姻法在法律体系中地位研究之误区——兼与婚姻法私法论商榷

国内有关婚姻法在法律体系中地位的主要论述,主要散见于各种教科书和婚姻法修改论争中。主流观点可称为婚姻法私法论,其主张婚姻法属于私法应“回归民法”,并适用私法自治原则,在婚姻法中建立全面的权利体系。然而,有关论述普遍存在论证过程简单、论证逻辑错误、缺乏论证、研究视角单一等问题,而难以具有说服力。有关婚姻法在法律体系中的地位问题,应改变从理论到理论的研究思路,应扎根于社会生活本身,从实际出发,从有利于解决中国婚姻家庭的实际问题出发作扎实的研究。     

Same-sex cohabiting elders versus different-sex cohabiting and married elders: Effects of relationship status and sex of partner on economic and health outcomes

In this article, I use pooled data from the 2008–2010 American Community Surveys to examine outcomes for different-sex married, different-sex cohabiting, and same-sex cohabiting elders across several key economic and health indicators, as well as other demographic characteristics. The findings suggest that elders in same-sex cohabiting partnerships differ from those in different-sex marriages and different-sex cohabiting relationships in terms of both financial and health outcomes, and that women in same-sex cohabiting partnerships fare worse than men or women in other couple types. The results indicate that financial implications related to the sex of one’s partner might be more predictive of economic and health outcomes in old age, rather than solely access to legal marriage. Nonetheless, findings suggest that individuals in same-sex cohabiting partnerships might experience worse outcomes in old age as a result of cumulative effects across the life course from both the sex of their partner (in the case of female couples) as well as their lack of access to benefits associated with marriage. Accordingly, these findings demonstrate that persons in same-sex cohabiting partnerships require unique policy considerations to address health and economic concerns in old age.     

麦克仑南论一妻多夫制

古典进化论学派学者麦克伦南（John· Fergus· McLennan）曾在其著作《原始婚姻》中对一妻多夫这种婚姻家庭形态进行了论述。麦克仑南对一妻多夫的基本看法是,这种婚姻家庭形态并不是一种例外和反常形态,而认为一妻多夫是人类社会发展的一个重要和普遍阶段。麦克仑南的这个论点是基于他对人类早期社会基本图景的推论和分析。本文试图在说明麦克伦南关于人类早期社会与婚姻发展脉络的基础上,来讨论一妻多夫制在其中的序列与价值。     

Dynamic Marriage Matching: An Empirical Framework

This paper develops a new model for empirically analyzing dynamic matching in the marriage market and then applies that model to recent changes in the U.S. marriage distribution. Its primary objective is to estimate gains by age from being married today (till death of at least one spouse) relative to remaining single for that same time period. An empirical methodology that relies on the model's equilibrium outcomes identifies the marriage gains using a single cross‐section of observed aggregate matches. This behavioral dynamic model rationalizes a new marriage matching function. The model also solves the inverse problem of computing the vector of aggregate marriages, given a new distribution of available single individuals and estimated preferences. Finally, this paper develops a simple test of the model's empirical validity. Using aggregate data of new marriages and available single men and women in the United States over two decades from 1970 to 1990, I investigate the changes in marriage gains over this period.     

Rhetoric and Reality of Economic Self-sufficiency Among Rural,Low-Income Mothers: A Longitudinal Study

This study examined the contributions of maternal labor force participation and marital status on economic self-sufficiency over time for rural mothers. Data were from 174 rural families participating in three waves of data collection in Rural Families Speak. χ ² and multiple logistic regression were utilized. Results revealed only one-third of mothers moved toward economic self-sufficiency over three years. Maternal education, employment status, and weekly work hours were associated with improved economic well-being. Compared to single-parent families, unmarried-couple and married-couple families had increased odds of improving economically. In an analysis of all mothers with partners, married or unmarried, martial status was not significant in economic improvement. Findings suggest the role of marriage in welfare reform for rural families should be reconsidered.

Large,But Adaptable? A Successful Population Policy and Its Long Term Effects

A restrictive population policy led to almost doubling the number of newborns from one year to another in Romania in the 1960s. Twenty years later, this large generation (of women) enters a marriage market with few eligible older mates, in a society where marriage is a must. In this article, I analyze this social experiment within the broader frame of the marriage squeeze/two sex models. Using various data from censuses and surveys, I argue that the marriage market is flexible even when is confronted with disproportionately large cohorts. If the social pressure toward marriage is strong, the marriage rates do not necessarily fall, but the mating age patterns change.

1950年《婚姻法》及其引发的社会变革——纪念1950年《婚姻法》颁布60周年

1950年《婚姻法》的颁布实施,不仅是中国传统婚姻家庭制度的深刻革命,同时也是一场涉及个人生活、社会秩序乃至国家制度安排的重大社会改革,更是中国妇女人权发展史上的里程碑。新《婚姻法》颁布后,中央人民政府运用教育的、行政的和法律的手段,从上至下开展了全国性的宣传、教育以及严惩犯罪行为的活动,积极健康的婚姻新风尚开始出现。《婚姻法》颁布后的一段时期内,由于封建婚姻观念和诸多社会条件的制约,不少地区仍有一些消极落后的婚姻现象存在,甚至有不少妇女付出了沉重的代价。这说明,现代婚姻制度的真正建立需要一个历史过程。
