A Study of the Criterion for Distinguishing Simple from Complex Sentences in Modern Mandarin Chinese within the Framework of the Cardiff Grammar

HE Wei, SU Miao

2013, 29(1): 1-11.

Abstract(373) PDF(8)

Abstract:
The Cardiff Grammar stresses the importance of the concept of process, which inspires this paper for the exploration of criterion for distinguishing simple from complex sentences in modern mandarin Chinese.The process criterion distinguishes simple from complex sentences on the basis of how many major processes could be identified in one sentence: sentences expressing one major process are simple sentences while those expressing more than one are complex sentences.Taking the process criterion as its basis, the paper also argues that only two types of sentences could be identified in the system network of sentence patterns in modern mandarin Chinese, which are simple and complex sentences.

Abstract(472) PDF(7)

Abstract:
The paper studies modern mandarin Chinese prepositional groups from the perspective of the Cardiff Grammar, discussing the components of the prepositional group and the elements it can fill.The paper also focuses on the semantic and the syntactic analysis of some special clauses such as "preposition-X-postposition", "ba" constructions, and "bei" constructions.The paper aims to provide a new perspective to analyze the syntactic structure and functions of modern mandarin Chinese prepositional groups.It finds that Chinese prepositional groups contain prepositions and completives, and it can fill Subject, Complement and Adjunct at the level of clause, and Modifier and Finisher at the level of group.

GAO Sheng-wen, YAN Zhen-hua

2013, 29(1): 23-31.

Abstract(285) PDF(7)

Abstract:
Discontinuity is a common phenomenon in English, and many schools have described and explained it from different approaches.The Cardiff Grammar develops a relatively comprehensive theory of functional syntax and it contributes to the study of discontinuity.This paper is dedicated to investigating discontinuity in the Cardiff Grammar, i.e.revealing the nature of discontinuity, making a classification of various types of discontinuity and discussing discontinuity in "verbal groups".Description and discussion of various types of discontinuity are conducted from a functional perspective.

Analyzing Long Sentences in English for Science and Technology by Means of RST Tool

DONG Min, GAO Wen-rui

2013, 29(1): 32-39.

Abstract(263) PDF(15)

Abstract:
Due to their rigorousness in logical terms and complicatedness in structural relations, long sentences of English for Science and Technology tend to present great difficulties in the course of EST reading and EST translation.Rhetorical Structure Theory is characteristic of analyzing rhetorical relations for semantic coherence of written monologue texts and therefore is widely applicable in text generation and structural analysis.On the basis of the description of RST framework, the present study is concerned with the analysis of long sentences in EST text by means of RST Tool, in an attempt to provide a new analytical tool for structural analysis of EST texts.Our research finds that RST Tool is easily operational, providing significant implications for EST reading and EST translation.

Organizational and Institutional Discourse Studies: Significance, Problems and Reflections

SUN Yong-mei, XU Hao

2013, 29(1): 40-46.

Abstract(553) PDF(21)

Abstract:
This review explores the theoretical and practical significance of organizational and institutional discourse studies by summarizing the status quo of this newly emerging research field from an integrative perspective.After pointing out the theoretical and practical significance of this field, we argue that the "top-down" approach of Critical Discourse Analysis, the "bottom-up" approach of Interactional Sociolinguistics and the detailed analysis of Conversation Analysis should be integrated as solutions to these problems, and that such integration enables researchers to understand and interpret organizational and institutional discourse from a continuous and dynamic perspective.

SUN Hai-jun

2013, 29(1): 66-71.

Abstract(464) PDF(16)

Abstract:
From Lu Xun's five classical Chinese papers written in Japan, we can find a strong "subjectivism" tendency with a gradually deepening inner logic process in his early thought, and its central clue is the discovery and uplift of spirit.In one word, "the subjective interior surface of the spirit" is not only the structural clue of Lu Xun's articles, but the base of young Lu Xun's thought.

A Comparative Analysis of the Scientific & Technological Innovation Capacity of Our Universities and Research Institutions in Recent Ten Years

MA Bai-lian

2013, 29(1): 72-78.

Abstract(175) PDF(5)

Abstract:
Based on statistics data, this paper analyzes the R & D investment and science papers and invention patents of China's colleges, universities and research institutions over the past decade.This paper believes that, China's colleges and universities received a much lower of R & D funds than research institutions, but have acquired a higher innovation efficiency.Compared with the world, our colleges and universities are lower in both the quality and the quantity of their outcomes.The average R & D investment amount per person of CAS is much higher than that of our universities, and their scientific innovation capacity has basically finished the change from the quantity increase to the quality improvement of their scientific papers.For this reason, it is essential for our government to increase the support for universities in R & D investment to make an improvement of their scientific innovation capacity.

2013, 29(1): 105-108,114.

Abstract(272) PDF(6)

Abstract:
Habermas who proposed the democratic pattern of "deliberative politics" has inherited and transcended Rousseau's "general will".As the principle of combining social community, "general will", that is, the public of the Community, related to the public well-being of the Community.It is the "general will" that made the necessity of the establishment of a society possible.At the same time, Habermas found that the objective of the value of the general will had been set, but in the reality it often emphasized the importance of the result, neglecting the process.Thus, it is important to construct a communicative space for action and to set a engagement program in the dynamic field for the "general will".Habermas thought the theory of "deliberative politics" could explain how the private and public autonomy were internally related in the course of legal system.The inclusive theory with the desire for the dynamic balance of the social order put more emphasis on the course of the will, through the procedure of lawmaking that begets legitimacy.This is precisely the view making Habermas beyong Rousseau.
