Does It Matter What Genre Means?——Analysing Introductions to Research Articles within Different Traditions

Sushan Hood

2011, 27(2): 8-16.

Abstract(397) PDF(16)

Abstract:
The term "genre" now has a central place in educational linguistics in research and in pedagogy.It is used as a metalinguistic term to describe what we do, say and write as researchers, teachers and students;it is an organising principle for curricula and programs of instruction;it functions in analyses of disciplinary differences, and more.It is indeed a popular term.Yet, as Yunick suggests, "with this popularization comes the need for continued research, critical and ethical evaluation, and continued dialogue with theory." In this paper we take up an aspect of the challenge proposed by Yunick with a critical evaluation of what genre means within two different theoretical orientations to discourse.The paper essentially explores the question of whether it matters that the term genre means something different when used in the context of one theory or another.The study points to differences in what we identify as a genre and to its explanatory potential in research and in teaching.

Intersubjectivity-constructing Resources in Academic Texts: Identification,Assessment and Application——Comments on Hyland's Model of Metadiscourse

XIN Zhi-ying

2011, 27(2): 23-28.

Abstract(318) PDF(9)

Abstract:
The article aims to identify, describe and assess intersubjectivity-constructing resources in academic discourse.Intersubjectivity is the author's indirect manipulation of the interactants involved in the academic activity, i.e.the author and the reader.The article holds that Hyland's model of metadiscourse is an effective approach to describing and assessing intersubjectivity-constructing resources in academic texts and of pedagogical significance.On the one hand, the systematicity of the model enables valid description of intersubjectivity-construction patterns in given texts and thus helps to analyse academic texts on the dimension of intersubjectivity construction.On the other hand, the model shows how to construct appropriate intersubjectivity in academic writing and facilitates to foster the writer's awareness of intersubjectivity-construction and strategies to build intersubjectivity.

Abstract(292) PDF(163)

Abstract:
Based on the social constructionism, which maintains a two-way relation between language and social reality, this paper applies the achievements in cognitive linguistics to analyze the conceptual metaphor in China Daily's H1N1 discourse.It is found that H1N1 is conceptualized as a metaphor complex: H1N1 is a greedy and sly murderer threatening the lives of entire human being.This arch-metaphor consists of four daughter metaphors.This paper further discusses the reasons of conceptualizing H1N1 in the way as it is.It is maintained that through the metaphor complex an implicit statement has been implanted among readers.The significance of this paper includes: (a) advancing the relevant discourse studies through furthering van Dijk's Ideology Square, and (b) demonstrating the relation between ideology and conceptual metaphor in media discourse.

Problems in the Evaluation of Academic Journals——Effect of Intradisciplinary Journals' Number on Journals' Impact Factor and Its Improvement

JIA Xian, HUANG Dong-hua

2011, 27(2): 39-43.

Abstract(307) PDF(7)

Abstract:
For interdisciplinary journals, there often exist great differences (from severalfold to several tenfold, or even to more than a hundredfold) among journal impact factors.In order to find why there is so large difference in impact factors among different disciplines and how to solve this problem, and to make journal impact factors reflect the difference of influence among not only intradisciplinary journals but also interdisciplinary journals, this paper theoretically studied the influence of journals' number on journals' impact factor based on the JCR data.The research results show that as a whole, the values of journal impact factors increase with the quantity of intradisciplinary journals increasing, and there is no much sense for comparing the impact factor of interdisciplinary journals.A new improved method for calculating journal impact factors was proposed in this paper, which can obviously discount the dependence of impact factors on journals' number, and the improved journal impact factors can effectively reflect the significance of journals and make the interdisciplinary comparison of journals become more valuable.

Abstract(284) PDF(5)

Abstract:
The traditional state intervention ignores real time, and it virtualizes the existence of "Omniscient";while other classical liberalism pays more attention to human's powerlessness before "ignorance".In the background of "ignorance", the state and the market in the real time are disguised by "ignorance".Both state intervention and market system have no advantage in the aspect of "who can better predict and grasp the future".However, in the areas of "known", which is formed through the market's test and trial and error continuously, knowledge and power are generated during the interaction between "challenge and fight".The state intervention defends the equality of opportunity for market under the use of power.At the same time, when compared with the market system, it has advantages in the aspect of grasping macro trends through obtaining "known" knowledge.We should attach importance to the supervision and perfection of state intervention.
