Research Progress and Achievement Review of Environmental Discourse Studies

ZHENG Hong-lian, WANG Fu-fang

2018, 34(4): 9-16.

Abstract(462) PDF(22)

Abstract:
Environmental discourse studies grow very fast and have made a lot of achievements in recent years because of their importance in the process of social development.This paper focuses on environmental discourse studies from the perspective of linguistics and adopts the research method of literature review.It reviews all the relevant studies around the definition of environmental discourse, linguistic features, academic history home and abroad.It also puts forward new ideas on the research trends.The paper advances that environmental discourses are both linguistic products of antagonism between environment and economy, and linguistic representatives of environmental phenomena and notions.Environmental discourses, which provide cognitive tools and conceptual techniques for people to understand and communicate with environment,are very significant in constructing, sustaining and changing environmental reality.It proves that environmental discourse studies, which have bright research prospects and huge social application values,offer a new insight to the exploration of linguistics and the connection between human beings and environment.

Participant Role Allocation and Ecological Ideology Construal in Nature Documentary Film

YU Juan, WANG Yin

2018, 34(4): 17-26.

Abstract(358) PDF(16)

Abstract:
In SFL,participant roles refer to the subsystem of transitivity that embodies ideational function and constructs the world with process.The core component of transitivity system is the process,which requires the allocation of specific participant roles to complete the construal of meaning.Based on a documentary film of BBC and the social actor representation framework proposed by van Leeuven,this paper aims to explore how the ecological ideology is constructed by analyzing the role allocation strategies from three aspects(activation and passivation, generification and specification,as well as nomination and differentiation).The result shows that there are three features in terms of participant roles allocation in nature documentary films.Firstly,most of the active roles are assigned to non-human beings instead of human being; secondly, the animals in the films are activated by assigning them major participant roles rather than minor ones; lastly,the film producers use collective pronoun to refer to animal roles rather than singular pronoun “it” so as to reduce the anthropocentrism tendency.

A Multi-stratal Pattern of Ecological Discourse Analysis from a Systemic Functional Perspective: A Case Study on the Speech of China’s Minister of Environment Protection

CHANG Jun-fang, CONG Ying-xu

2018, 34(4): 27-32.

Abstract(614) PDF(44)

Abstract:
The study tries to construct the multi-stratal analysis pattern of ecological discourse by analyzing the ideology,context and discourse levels from the discourse delivered by China’s minister of environment protection from the systemic functional perspective.The research finds that the ideology in the speech accords with Marxism’s conception of ecological development and that the benefits of growth are broadly shared.The language bears typical political features in which grammatical metaphors, declarative sentences, especially imperative sentences are widely used.Thematic progression, reference, lexical cohesion and conjunction together promote cohesion.The multi-stratal analysis pattern helps to analyze the cognitive and functional generation mechanism of ecological discourse and enrich the ecological linguistics theory.

The Ecological Approach of Media Reports: An Ecological Discourse Analysis of the BBC News Headlines about China Haze

YUAN Ying

2018, 34(4): 33-41.

Abstract(459) PDF(186)

Abstract:
The ecological analytical framework for discourse combines ecological sense of place with the theory of systemic functional linguistics, which provides a theoretical basis for ecolinguistic research.In light of this frame work, the research, from perspective of ecology,explores the ecological meaning of BBC news headlines about China haze and reveals the ecological approach of media reports, through a refined analysis from transitivity, mood, modality, appraisal, theme and information systems,and a comprehensive empirical analysis of the headlines.We discover that although The BBC's coverage about China haze is incomplete because news inevitably carries ideology,these headlines issue the negative reports concerning the negative ecological circumstance, and BBC news headlines about China haze have eco-beneficial features.Meanwhile, the paper may be heuristic for the news media in China.

CHEN Rong

2018, 34(4): 42-48.

Abstract(333) PDF(12)

Abstract:
“2008 International Grassland and Rangeland Congress” assembled papers involving with Ecology into Multifunctional Grasslands in a Changing World, with three themes respectively of A—Ecology of Grasslands/Rangelands, B—Livestock Production System,and C—People in Grasslands/Rangelands.Based on cohesion theory in systemic functional linguistics,frequencies of pronominals and punctuations in four sub-corpora are compared each other to analyze semantic distinctions in each sub-corpus in terms of eco-linguistics, which causes non-impersonal features at levels in the Introductions, and it draws the following conclusions:Introductions in ecology papers identified the features of English for science and technology;Theme B is demonstrated the high non-impersonal degree.

The Neurobiological Basis of Semogenesis: A Perspective of Neural Darwinism

XIE Chui-ping

2018, 34(4): 49-55.

Abstract(380) PDF(7)

Abstract:
This paper firstly traces the sociobiological acountability of semogenesis and then interprets the tenets of neural Darwinism,with an aim to explore the neurobiological basis of semogenesis and language cognition from the perspective of SFL and thus illuminate the relationship between SFL and neurobiological science,holding that semogenesis is a new direction in relating the two disciplines.The interpretation of semogenesis from the perspective of neural Darwinism highlights the dialectical materialistic view of language evolution in SFL.The association between SFL and neural cognitive sciences indicates that SFL covers both inter-organic(i.e.social)and intra-organic(i.e.neuro-biological)aspects of language.This may help to clarify the misconception that SFL ignores the intra-organic factors.Due to the latest development of SFL,a coherent language-processing model has been constructed for the neurobiological study of language,which in turn provides a solid intra-organic basis for SFL.It is then argued that the complexity science should be adopted into the study of SFL,which will be a new direction in the transdisciplinary research of SFL.

DU Ling-jun

2018, 34(4): 68-74.

Abstract(365) PDF(18)

Abstract:
Performance evaluation in the university is not only the core of the reform of university system in China,but also the focus and difficult point in the field of education.Taking F university’s performance-related salary distribution system as a case study, this paper firstly explores the existing problems of the university staff’s performance evaluation system in depth.Then,the balanced scorecard(BSC)performance evaluation model is introduced to the construction of the university staff’s performance evaluation system.Giving the new connotation and definition to all the indexes of the BSC theory,the study evaluates the system from four aspects, ‘job responsibility’, ‘social identity’, ‘internal optimization’, ‘strengthening training and communication’.Emphasizing the balance, systematicness, coordination and continuity of organizational performance evaluation,the proposed system could make effective motivation for faculty performance.

The Phenomenon and Causes ofthe Mixture and Conjunction of Fu and Song

YANG Hua-kun

2018, 34(4): 82-87.

Abstract(276) PDF(9)

Abstract:
As two literary styles originated from Han Dynasty, Fu and Song have several aspects in common.In ancient times,Song could be used as the phonetic loan character of another Song which means chanting,while Fu is also considered “odes by chanting without singing”, hence Fu is often used to refer to Song.Besides,another cause of the alternative use of Song and Fu is the strengthened function of Fu to eulogize,after the Eastern Han Dynasty.Apart from the particular reference to Fu, “Fusong” as a regular word has two implications:general reference to the verse,and the specific reference to Fu and Song.What leads to the conjunction of Fu and Song as“Fu-song” is that both of them have the function of eulogizing, as well as their homogeneous literary forms and similar status in classical Chinese literature.

Gift Relationship “Rebuilding”?——Debate on Social Relations Which Gift and Commodity Direct

ZHAO Shuang, YANG Bo

2018, 34(4): 88-94.

Abstract(340) PDF(16)

Abstract:
Gift exchange is the main concern of sociologists to research social relations.As a kind of exchange system,gift exchange contributes to the formation of cohesion among groups and communities.In contrast,commodity exchange is considered to be a form of exchange that occurs in the market society,and easy to create individualized and atomized social relationships.This paper points out that sociologists advanced by reading the relevant literature:one view is that gift is a hidden commodity,in contrast,another view is that gifts and commodities point to completely different forms of social relations.By making in-depth analysis,this paper further points out that the rebuilding of gift relationship in modern society may be an unachievable task.

Abstract(306) PDF(9)

Abstract:
The democratic centralism as the fundamental organizational principle and leadership system of the Chinese Communist Party is an important basis for adhering to the leadership of the party,which emphasizes the dialectical unity of democracy and concentration.As the important concepts of Mozi, “Shangxian” and “Shangtong” also emphasize the effective combination of democratic consciousness and unity of will.The similarities between the two theories reflect the ancient and modern heritage of institution and thinking.Back to history,we can sum up experiences and find the basis of the system,better implement democratic centralism,and maintain the Party leadership.

Lenin's View of European Federalism and Its Contemporary Enlightenment

ZHANG Shao-dong

2018, 34(4): 103-110.

Abstract(252) PDF(7)

Abstract:
Lenin's concept of the federal Europe was formed during the World War I.He initially agreed to overthrow the monarchy and establish the federal Europe.Then he realized it was impossible to build the federal Europe in the imperialist economic conditions.Therefore he advocated establishing the federal world after socialist victory in a few or even in single capitalist countries.Lenin was right that it could not be achieved the federal Europe in the imperialist economic conditions,but the European integration and the world peace process after the World WarⅡproved that Lenin's theory also has its limitations.It just likes Lenin's day,the power politics still threatens the contemporary world peace nowadays.China put forward the thought to build a Community of shared future of mankind when facing the change of the international order in historical juncture.This concept broke the zero-sum thinking of the western power politics,but the realization of the idea would experience a long and winding road.

Study on the Establishment of the SCO Anti-terrorism Legal Mechanism

WU He-qi

2018, 34(4): 111-118.

Abstract(349) PDF(16)

Abstract:
The SCO anti-terrorism legal mechanism is the institutional basis for regional anti-terrorism led by regional state organizations.On the issue of the terrorist crimes in Central Asia,the SCO's anti-terrorist fights guided by the anti-terrorist legal mechanism has achieved remarkable results.However, with the development of terrorism, it is necessary for the SCO to play a greater role,and the existing anti-terrorism legal mechanisms are inadequate.Comparing the anti-terrorist legal mechanisms of the United Nations and other regional organizations,the SCO's anti-terrorism legal mechanism is not clear on the definition of terrorist crimes, and urgently needs to be improved in counter-terrorism criminal justice cooperation.In this regard, we can learn more mature experiences from global and regional organizations,and combine the actual situation in the region to improve the SCO's anti-terrorism legal mechanism.At the same time,in the path of the construction of the anti-terrorism legal mechanism,we should emphasize the protection of the human rights of civilians, solving the problems encountered in regional economic development,and to root out the roots of terrorism.
