LI Zhan-zi

2016, 32(4): 1-6.

Abstract(380) PDF(12)

Abstract:
Cultural stereotypes are widely studied in cross-cultural communication and their relation to prejudice and discrimination makes them an enduring object of study. The present paper aims to apply functional linguistic analysis to stereotypical statements and their license in cross-cultural comparative discourse. The concepts of nominalization, appraisal, and transitivity system especially the relational and mental processes are analyzed in the hope of shedding more light on the understanding of the syntactic features of cultural stereotypes.

On Translated Foreign Names in the Dictionaries from the Perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistics

SHI Chun-rang, CHENG Ying

2016, 32(4): 7-11.

Abstract(337) PDF(20)

Abstract:
When translating foreign names, people can follow the principles of translating names in the authoritative dictionary and the specific dictionary of names. However, the principles of translating names and the translated names are messy in different dictionaries, such as the lack of standards, specifications, authoritative, etc., which makes the translators confused, and produced the confusion of name translation. Some countermeasures can be adopted to solve the problem, such as using different dictionaries, contrasting the different verification, adhering to national standards, and standardizing translated names.

Translation Studies of Projection: A Functional Perspective

LIANG Hong-yan, ZENG Lei

2016, 32(4): 12-16,22.

Abstract(538) PDF(15)

Abstract:
In Functional Linguistics, projection is the logical-semantic relationship whereby a clause comes to function as "a representation of a linguistic representation". Projecting signal marks the information sources. Different projection types are made by the various combination of projecting signal and projected information. The study explores the unstable factors in the process of projection translation, which usually displays changes of projection types, transposition and omission of projecting signals. It shows that the choice made in the target language is based on the communicative intention and the characteristics of its projection language.

The Meta-redundant Effect of Grammatical Metaphor

KUANG Zhan, YANG Yi-long

2016, 32(4): 17-22.

Abstract(368) PDF(11)

Abstract:
The systemic and stratificational realization of Grammatical Metaphor embodies a intrinsic metaredundancy which gives rise to the meta-redundant metaphorical effect at lexicogrammatical stratum where meaning potential of one type of Grammatical Metaphor extends simultaneously to planes of other types of Grammatical Metaphor and redounds with metaphorical Theme and Metaphorical News. The essence of Textual Metaphor is rooted in the meta-redundant effect of Grammatical Metaphor which enables its intrinsic metaphorical realization and leads to the redundancy of Textual Metaphor for limiting its operation at lexicogrammatical stratum.

Towards the Experiential Grammar of “chi” in Modern Chinese

XIANG Da-jun

2016, 32(4): 23-29,58.

Abstract(420) PDF(10)

Abstract:
Systemic Functional Linguistics holds that grammar is a theory of human experience, and lexis is most delicate grammar. Based on Systemic Functional Grammar, the paper analyzes the experiential structure of "chi" and its collocations with the linguistic data from three Chinese corpuses. The analysis shows that besides being used as a verb to realize a Process, "chi" can also be used as a noun and an adjective to realize Thing and Quality, which can play different participant roles in different processes. The collocational and meaning potential of "chi" in modern Chinese reveals that it is a complex human experience.

A Systemic Functional Study of the Realization Statements of Numerative and Measure Items

YU Chang-li

2016, 32(4): 30-38.

Abstract(263) PDF(7)

Abstract:
Systemic grammar is realizational whereas transformational grammar is mutational. Language is interpreted in systemic theory as a RESOURCE instead of a rule system. One of the major changes between the Scale and Category Grammar and the Systemic Theory in SFL is the introduction of Realization Statements. Realization Statement is one way of modeling the relationship of realization; it consists of one realization Operator and one or more Operands. Five Realization Statements are mainly discerned in the SFL model-Insert, Order, Conflation, Expand and Preseletion. This paper conducts an exploratory and cross-language study of the Realization Statements of numerative and measure items in the framework of systemic functional grammar.

Zoe Radnor, Stephen P. Osborne, Tony Kinder, Jean Mutton, TANG De-long, SHI Wei-wei

2016, 32(4): 59-71.

Abstract(315) PDF(14)

Abstract:
We have argued for public services to move away from product-dominant logic towards a service approach. By taking a service orientation, the experience, inter-organization, and systemic nature of public services delivery can be considered along with the role of the service user as a co-producer. In this article, we unpack how co-production can be operationalized through the application of service blueprinting. This article presents an example within higher education where the creation of a blueprint brought together staff and students to focus on the design of student enrolment, resulting in improved student experience and supporting coproduction.

Study on the Social Responsibility of Science Communication Subject from the Perspective of Public Understanding Science—An Empirical Analysis Based on the GM Reports of the Newspapers of People’s Daily and the Southern Weekend

QIAN Zhen-hua, YANG Jia-pu, LIU Wen-xia

2016, 32(4): 92-103.

Abstract(299) PDF(11)

Abstract:
Based on the public understanding of science theory, using literature collection method, typical sampling method and least squares regression model (OLS) as the main research method, this paper takes an empirical analysis based on the GM reports of the newspapers of People's Daily and the Southern Weekend (2003-2014). The result shows that science news reports are greatly influenced by the main body of science communication, especially government views on science communication content are very obvious. On the one hand, scientists and the media are subject to government and they are afraid to speak.On the other hand, due to their own professional quality and responsibility are not clear, it leads to the unfully realization of science communication, then they failed to spread science and technology knowledge in society and the public through the appropriate channels.This makes the public's attitudes towards genetically modified (gm) "reverse" wave. From this point, this paper analyses of the reasons that the subjects of science communication failed to fulfill the responsibility, then find out the crux of the problems.At last, this paper tries to solve the problem through various coordination of the main subjects of science communication. It will be to promote the smooth progress of science communication and to increase the global public science literacy.

On the Mathematical Foundation of Alain Badiou’s Philosophical Thoughts

AI Shi-wei

2016, 32(4): 104-111.

Abstract(371) PDF(14)

Abstract:
Badiou considers that mathematics is an ontology and a science of being qua being. Based on modern analytical philosophy and later thoughts of Heidegger, he creates his own ontology. The mathematical foundation of Badiou's philosophical thoughts originates from the set theory of Cantor and Paul Cohen. Integrating the thoughts of Sartre and the doctrine of Anglo-Saxon school represented by Wittgenstein, Badiou proposes a conception of "situation", which refers to the place that event happens and a field of multiplicity. According to the difference between set and power set, he divides structure into situation and state of situation, and he finally creates his special philosophical thoughts by grafting set theory on philosophy. Badiou reckons Heidegger doesn't distinguish mathematics from science, while what he engages in is to surpass the anti-science thoughts of Heidegger.
