XIAO Hao-zhang
2011, 27(3): 22-29.
Abstract(329) PDF(12)
Abstract:
Based on Halliday's register theory, this paper, adopting both qualitative and quantitative methods, attempts to integrate the register theory and the recent development of language-based cognitive view of SFL, which is applied in the present experimental study.Two types of contextual configurations (CC) are designed to test their effects on promoting listening and speaking: 1) the experimental group is required to write role-play tasks after listening to native speakers' conversations and then role-play;2) the control group is required to do traditional after-class listening exercises after listening to native speakers' conversations and then role-play.The results show that the first type of CC has a significant effect on promoting listening but marginal significance in speaking.Based on the experimental results, the study holds that CC should incorporate task variables and cognitive/psychological factors for EFL learning.

Division and Cooperation: Relationship between the Subject and Object in Civil Evidence-collecting Procedure
WU Ru-qiao
2011, 27(3): 77-84,89.
Abstract(306) PDF(18)
Abstract:
The subjects of civil evidence collection should include the parties, the counsels and the judges, but should not include the procurators.The parties should be dominant in the evidence-collecting process;the evidence-collecting acts of the counsels are important complement to the parties' ability to collect evidence;and the court's investigation and evidence collection is also essential.This paper defines the relationship between the subject and the object as that of division and cooperation: division is the prerequisite and cooperation is the essence and core.Cooperation in evidence collection process has double meanings, but the collaboration between the subject and the object is more meaningful.The legal basis for subject and object's cooperation obligations are different, but the common basis for cooperation lies in "duty to collaborate" theory.In the context of litigation model's transformation from "principle of debate" to cooperationism, the "duty to collaborate" theory lays a profound foundation for legitimacy.

Compelling economic logic lies beneath the principle of changed circumstances.On the one hand, the valuation and costs of performance to contracting parties have changed in the case of changed circumstances so that the original contract is no longer an effective means of resource allocation and must be changed or canceled.On the other hand, in accordance with the requirements of economic efficiency, risk should be allocated to the superior risk-taking people.As neither of the contracting parties may meet the requirement, the principle of changed circumstances distributes risk fairly between the parties by adjusting or discharging the contract.
