A Study of Chinese “Verb-complement Constructions” from the Perspective of the Cardiff Grammar
HE Wei, YANG Nan
2014, 30(1): 1-13.
Abstract(403) PDF(10)
Abstract:
Within the framework of the Cardiff Grammar, this paper investigates “verb-complement constructions” in modern Mandarin Chinese with the aim of revealing the differences in the realization of the clausal meaning and in the componence of the syntactic elements. Based on the principle of “form realizing meaning and meaning being primary”, the paper presents a new description of the generally-acknowledged seven types of Chinese “verb-complement constructions”. It shows that some “complements” help the Main Verbs in clauses to realize the Process meanings, and hence they are taken as Main Verb Extensions in the syntactic structures of the concerned clauses. Some express the degrees of the meanings realized by the apexes in quality groups, and hence they are considered as degree temperers in quality groups. Some are indicative of mood, modality and polarity meanings of clauses, and hence they are described as Operators. And others are suggestive of Participant roles in the processes of the concerned clauses, and hence they are regarded as Complements. Meanwhile, the paper explores the functions of the Chinese character “de” in “verb-complement constructions”. It indicates that “de” is the Deriver/deriver element in clauses or quality groups, and that it makes the meanings of the derived elements oriented at the Main Verbs or Subjects in the concerned clauses, or at the apexes in the concerned quality groups.

Abstract(514) PDF(12)
Abstract:
The Discourses and Sayings of Confucius is the footstone of traditional Chinese culture. Its translation and dissemination are closely connected with personal experience and social background of its translator. Meanwhile, due to different translation purposes, translation of the same text is supposed to adopt different translating methods and strategies. In his paper, the author studied free translation and translating strategy of domestication employed by Ku Hung-ming in The Discourses and Sayings of Confucius by making an analysis of social background and personal experience of Ku Hung-ming. It is pointed out that translation of traditional cultural classics of The Discourses and Sayings of Confucius is a comprehensive issue. Adopting translating strategy of domestication is helpful to carrying forward traditional Chinese culture and national spirit and promoting cultural exchanges between China and Western countries.

ZHOU Hong-ying
2014, 30(1): 19-25.
Abstract(334) PDF(5)
Abstract:
A Cognitive Linguistics-oriented CDA starts from but goes beyond the linguistic usage to the underlying cognitive activities to deconstruct or reconstruct the process in which the discourse producer legalizes the in-group ideology by manipulating conceptualization of readers. Discourse is the product of particular ideology. The different representations of conceptualization in a discourse, including metaphor, metonymy, attention, subjectivity of observer, are loaded with unequal power relations and thus manifest coherence with the ideology of the particular discourse.

Abstract(259) PDF(5)
Abstract:
The graduates of literature and art accept the western literary theory in two ways:searching literature and reading.

First,read classic books rather than searching information with the consciousness in the theoretical thinking ability as the core;second,after reading books to be able to “ report number ”,making clear what the books say and why they say so,this is the basic embodiment of theoretical thinking ability;third, based on these knowledge,the students can make a judgment of their own theses. If the students read books so,their thesis writing must be smooth,and the quality of the theses must be remarkable;otherwise it will be opposite.

The Legendary and Authenticity of Story
GAO Chuan-hua
2014, 30(1): 74-78.
Abstract(311) PDF(7)
Abstract:
In the development of the short story,a transformation emerged from the legendary focusing on plot to the authenticity on emotion. Hometown and My Uncle Jules are two classic short stories selected in the Chinese Textbooks of middle school. They have similarities in the structure, namely they have completed the ring structure of emotion conversion. But they are different in the artistic pursuit and value orientation in the style. As a traditional novelist,Maupassant paid more attention to the plots of the story,and to the perfection, exquisiteness and integrality of the structure. But the prose tendency in Lu Xun's novels is obvious, which are concise and meaningful in language and rich in emotional connotation and in angles of explanation. This not only reflects the different artistic pursuit and creation tendency of the two writers,but also shows different characteristics of their artistic talent.

SUN Ying, GENG Xin-yi, WU Na
2014, 30(1): 95-101.
Abstract(300) PDF(6)
Abstract:
China's export has increased to 196 times that of the value before China's reform and opening up. But most of the export products are low value-added primary products,and the trade friction is increasing in the recent years. All of these make our country pay more attention to the role of technical innovation in export. The development of high technology industry can best represent the development of a country's technological innovation,and the export of our country's electronics and telecommunications products takes more than half the share of high technology products export. In this paper,we select the technical innovation factors in China's eastern,central and western regions from 2001 to 2010,including electronics and telecommunications products R&D funding intensity,the R&D personnel input intensity and number of patents. By using panel data,we study their influence on export,and give reasonable analysis on the results.
