A Non-finite Clausal Perspective to Textual Metaphor
HE Qing-shun
2013, 29(6): 2-7.
Abstract(436) PDF(5)
Abstract:
Grammatical metaphor in the Hallidayan sense only comprises ideational and interpersonal metaphor, while Martin and others propose the inclusion of textual metaphor.Based on metafunctions of Systemic Functional Linguistics, this paper analyzes the current discussions of textual metaphor, pointing out that some textual metaphors by Martin and others are in essence representations of ideational and interpersonal metaphors in text, and some are not in accordance with the grammatical metaphor criteria.Four types of textual metaphor with dual functions are proposed from the perspective of relators in non-finite clauses: (1) elaborative non-finite clauses, (2) extensive and enhancing non-finite clauses without relators, (3) extensive and enhancing non-finite clauses with prepositions as relators, and (4) enhancing non-finite clauses with prepositionized non-finite verbs.
Demetaphorizing or Metaphorizing: A Dynamically Interactive Model of Congruent and Metaphorical Modes of Realization
LIU Zu-qin
2013, 29(6): 8-12,17.
Abstract(361) PDF(6)
Abstract:
How language evolved from protolanguage to modern language is still a myth although some theories and hypotheses have been put forward to try to uncover it, among which Halliday proposed that much of the history of a language is a history of demetaphorizing.In order to reconsider the possible way of language evolution, it is necessary to observe language evolution in terms of both phylogenesis and ontogenesis.Such observation may be more convincing, according to which language is initially congruent and the history of a language is a history of metaphorizing more than demetaphorizing.The process of language evolution may be one in which the metaphorical mode of realization originates from the congruent one in the initial state of language, and then the congruent and the metaphorical forms develop in a dynamically interactive model.
A Systemic Functional Approach to Non-finite -ing Component in Nominal Group
SHI Yun-feng, JIE Yu-hong
2013, 29(6): 13-17.
Abstract(346) PDF(5)
Abstract:
Non-finite verbs have not received adequate attention in Halliday's works.This is particularly true to the study of non-finite-ing component which functions as a modifier in the nominal group.According to studies in systemic functional grammar, non-finite-ing component can be put into two categories: epithet and classifier, which can be expanded into a rank-shifted clause, taking the form of “thing + which does/is doing” (e.g., “a sleeping dog” can be expanded into “a dog which is sleeping”) .However, such constructions as “a sleeping bag” (which can be expanded into “a bag which is used for sleeping” rather than “a bag which is sleeping” have not been explained.This paper is aimed to make a functional study of such non-finite components.
Revisiting the Similarities and Dissimilarities between Text and Discourse
XU Lai-juan
2013, 29(6): 18-21,29.
Abstract(655) PDF(26)
Abstract:
For a long time, text and discourse, as two linguistic terminologies, have been a source of persisting confusion for people.This paper explores the two terms in view of their definition, relationship, usage and Chinese translation so as to find their similarities and dissimilarities.The result shows that they overlap a lot.They can be used interchangeably when both serving as grammatical unit, semantic unit, speech act and multimodal sign.While discourse is used as social practice, it is beyond what text can mean.The fact that discourse has broader meaning than text is consistent with what they mean in dictionary.Lots of relationships, mostly based on that of synonymy and product-process, are ascribed to them.Their Chinese translation should be done on the basis of their specific meaning so as to avoid conflict of meaning as the principle.

2013, 29(6): 60-67.
Abstract(332) PDF(9)
Abstract:

Resources and environmental issues are too costly and have become one of the important factors constrainting China's rapid economic and social development.It seriously deviates from the basic requirements of the scientific concept of development proposed in the 17th CPC National Congress and civilization development of five-in-one proposed in the 18th CPC National Congress and has caused extensively attention from the state, society and academic world.In mid-June 2013, the Supreme Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate promulgated the “The Interpretation of Several Applicable Law Issues on the Handling of Environmental Pollution Related Criminal Cases” (hereinafter referred to as “Two High Judicial Interpretation”).People's attention was once again drawn to the Government on the implementation of regulatory responsibilities of resources and environment: dereliction of duty in environmental regulatory will be punished severely.If a thorough investigation is undertaken on the chaos of resources and environmental violations, it is observable that behind almost all the illegal phenomenon there is a “shadow” of the government: or the presence of the mismanagement of the government and its administrative departments, or the presence of the government's “everything he knows” purposes.According to the author, to implement the scientific concept of development, to realize China's comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development of the five-in-one socialist modernization, resources and environmental protection must be handled from its source, i.e.people's government and its administrative departments must strictly enforce the law, strengthen the leadership, reinforce the responsibility and manage the society innovatively in the field of environmental resources, and thus the people's government will truly become the rule-of-law government and responsible government.
