The Grammar of Weather: With Special Reference to English and Chinese Weather Forecast Text

WANG Yong, ZHOU Ying-fang

2013, 29(5): 9-17.

Abstract(411) PDF(8)

Abstract:
Typological studies show that world languages fall into three types in terms of the semantic element which is primarily responsible for the expression of weather. They are: 1) Process expressing weather, 2) Participant expressing weather, and 3) Process and Participant expressing weather collectively. As events lacking inherent participants, meteorological phenomena are typically expressed as impersonal constructions, with the semantic load falling mainly on the Process (e.g. It's raining in English and 下雨了 in Chinese) . The present study compares and contrasts an English and a Chinese text of weather forecast. It is found that the congruent expression of meteorological process is seldom employed, if at all. Weather events are mostly expressed through grammatical metaphor, i.e. via nominalization and transference of process types, e.g. via relational processes and material processes, etc. The English text is more grammatically metaphorized both in terms of the type of process types and the participant role. Another finding is that, apart from the transitive model, the ergative model is used to a considerable degree, though the English text is more oriented to the transitive model, and the Chinese text to the ergative. In the former, such indefinite pronouns as we and you are used very often so that both people and the weather event are involved in the transitive model. The latter employs the impersonal construction a lot. These similarities and differences are the outcome of the semantic features of meteorological phenomena and typological features of both languages.

Study of Characteristics in Three Translations of Lun Yu (The Analects) from the Tenor Perspective

CHEN Ying, YU Jie

2013, 29(5): 23-28.

Abstract(306) PDF(6)

Abstract:
The paper attempts to investigate the correlation between the three variables of tenor and the characteristics in three different translations of Lun Yu (The Analects) . By discussing three aspects of tenor, namely, role relationship, power and social distance in relation to the characteristics in translations, the paper illustrates why they are correlated and indicates that a systemic functional analysis of texts helps readers to better understand the texts. The findings of this study will give implications to translation studies.

A Study on the Paratexts of Three Kingdoms Translated by Moss Roberts——From the Perspective of Intertextuality

ZHAO Chang-ling

2013, 29(5): 29-35.

Abstract(395) PDF(8)

Abstract:
Intertextuality is the development of Bakhtin's dialogism by Kristeva which refers to the transformation and absorption between texts. It has natural affinity with the translation studies as the literary theory combines the abstract thinking and specific strategies, it can, therefore, better interpret the nature and complex process of translation. The paper especially focuses on the study of the lengthy afterword and notes of the translation and aims to analyze the special features and translation strategies from the perspective of intertextuality.

Language, Story, and Explanation: Hayden White's Theory of Historical Narration

WANG Xia

2013, 29(5): 72-76.

Abstract(422) PDF(9)

Abstract:
In Hayden White's opinion, there is an important relationship between historical narration and language. The nature of language determines that the history narratives have rhetorical characteristics. When historians change single group of historical events into a complete story which contains beginning, middle and end, there must have emplotment, formal argument and ideological implication in the story. The process contains the historians' subjective likes and dislikes and emotional preference, therefore, the historiography is a kind of poetic constructing process.

Study on the Relationship between Patents and China-EU High-tech Products Trade

SUN Ying, GENG Xin-yi, CHEN Hao-qing

2013, 29(5): 83-88.

Abstract(258) PDF(8)

Abstract:
There is a close link between the patent strategy and international trade. Patents can not only promote export development, but also subject to the reaction of imports, especially for the high-tech products with technology-intensive and knowledge-intensive features. The EU is China's important partner in economic and trade cooperation, as well as in the field of high-tech products trade. The paper analyzes China- EU high-tech products imports and patent status firstly. Then, we build the VAR model to explore the relationship between the import and patent. Finally, based on the study and consideration of long-term development of the China- EU high-tech products trade, the paper makes a number of policy recommendations.

The Impact of Rural “Loose Organization” on Rural Governance in Transition Period——With Shandong Province as an Example

YUN Chun-xi, XU Xi-qing

2013, 29(5): 89-94.

Abstract(324) PDF(5)

Abstract:
Loose organizations, which come into existence in the lack of resources and outside supervision, are characterized with strong unreason, instability and inadequacy of individual rights. Formal organizations in Shandong rural areas are generally loosened now, which can be classified into “periodic political organizations”, “passive integral organization”, “unconscious model lasting organization” and “anti-integral organization”. All these organizations are reflections of farmers resource-poor living conditions, which in turn have both positive and negative effects on the rural self- governance, accumulation of social capital as well as rural order. Therefore, the loose organizations should be properly treated and reasonably guided.
