The Syntactico-semantic Analysis of English Existential Clauses in the Sydney Grammar and the Cardiff Grammar

DENG Ren-hua, LIANG Su-lian

2014, 30(3): 1-9.

Abstract(310) PDF(6)

Abstract:
This paper aims to explore the syntactico-semantic analysis of English existential clauses from the perspectives of the Sydney Grammar (SG) and the Cardiff Grammar (CG). It is revealed that in SG's transitivity analysis, English existential clauses can be clauses of existential, (attributive or identifying) relational or material processes, whereas in CG's transitivity analysis, existential clauses are clauses of (locational, attributive, directional or possessive) relational or action processes. In terms of thematic analysis, SG takes the existential There as the unmarked Theme, while CG regards There (and be) as the "thematic build-up" and the postverbal nominal group as the "existential enhanced theme", which is realized either by simple Carrier, Process and Destination, Process and Affected-Cartier, or by Process and Affected. SG and CG are basically the same in terms of the interpersonal analysis and the syntactic analysis of existential clauses.

WANG Gen-lian

2014, 30(3): 10-16.

Abstract(223) PDF(5)

Abstract:
The construal of Functional Linguistics Theory is orientated to its semantics, as an abstract meaing between pheonomenon and metapheonomenon, "Fact" projection is significant to the functional semantic research. This paper mainly concerns about sorting out different kinds of "Fact" syntactics, focusing on its semantics. Firstly, this paper distinguishes "Fact" projection from other types of projections; Secondly, the syntactic features of "Fact" projection are illustrated in terms of transitivity process, speech function and metafunctons, meanwhile, the interpretation of fuentional meaning of the "Fact" projection combined with grammar metaphor is given as well; Finally, this paper attempts to construct a "Fact" projection system with clear classfications and semantics, in the hope of gaining a more comprehensive and deeper insight into the "Fact" syntaetics and semantics.

Try to Discuss the Dynamic Changes of Semantics under the Category of Language——Take Number-Categories in Chinese and English for Examples

CHEN Yong

2014, 30(3): 17-22,26.

Abstract(256) PDF(5)

Abstract:
Category is static and dynamic. Although the traditional study in category has some normal forms, it also has large fault, which only pays more attention to establishment, and not care the dynamic of the category. Under the category of language, the paper discusses the dynamic changes of semantics, which can get new evidence for the dynamic in category, at the same time, it can improve the study in category. The paper takes categories in Chinese and English for examples, and systematically analyses the dynamic changes of semantics and the change in semantic function, which reveals a dynamic systemic in language-category.

Ashes to Ashes: Dramatic Violence and Audience's Reaction

CHEN Hong-wei, WU Di

2014, 30(3): 67-69,118.

Abstract(333) PDF(4)

Abstract:
In Pinter's late representative play Ashes to Ashes, the theme of violence has never been so ambiguous and complicated so far. Pinter has superposed his reference of violence on both the macroscopic and microscopic levels and added to ambiguity through the use of multi narrative perspectives, contradictory discourse and referential plots throughout the play. This article applies James Phelan's narrative progression and narrative judgment theory as well as Wolfgang Iser's readers' response theory to the analysis of Ashes to Ashes' dramatic presentation of violence, analyzing the audience's narrative judgment as well as their response to the theatrical presentation of ambiguity and complexity. This article tries to reveal Ashes to Ashes' dramatic charm.

On the Human Subject Protection in the New Drug Clinical Trial from the Ethics of Care

LI Ping, WANG Fang-fang

2014, 30(3): 81-86.

Abstract(316) PDF(6)

Abstract:
The clinical trial is an indispensable hnk in the new drug research and development (R&D), in which subjects are extremely vulnerable, and the human subject protection is an ethical issue in the new drug R&D process. In this paper, considering the ethics of care as a solution to this problem and the "relation self" as its ontological basis, starting from the women's "common experience", we explore the ethical basis for protection of the subjects. We conclude that "concerning for others" is the inherent requirement of the protection, and "emotional empathy " is the subject practice demands of the protection. It is of great value for human rights protection in a broad sense.

HU Ying-lian

2014, 30(3): 98-102.

Abstract(277) PDF(4)

Abstract:
Fragmentation, diffusion, concealment and diversification compose of modern drug safety risk features. From the perspective of risk governance theory, there exist some defects within drug regulatory system, including single institutional function, decentralized administration, individual risk ignorance and "campaign-style" emergency management. To improve the performance of drug regulation and reconstruct the top design of drug regulatory system, it is necessary to take advantage of this round of administrative reform and the "Drug Administration Law" revision. Policy suggestions of a new paradigm of drug safety risk governance system are followed: innovate drug safety risk analysis framework, establish a high-level drug administration coordinating body, improve local regulatory system, and mobilize the involvement of stakeholders.

WANG Shu-zhen, TONG Nan-nan

2014, 30(3): 103-108.

Abstract(327) PDF(3)

Abstract:
Voice is a public governance mechanism, and the realization of its' effectiveness is affected by the cost of voice. The construction and popularity of government websites in China provides a new way for citizens to voice, but the government websites' low impact, interactivity and open degree restrict the government websites' role in expression of the citizens' voice. Therefore, to improve the influence, interactivity and information openness of the websites can effectively promote the realization of citizens' voice. This can not only perfect the mechanism of voice, but also has practical signification to the optimization of government websites and restoration of government performance.

2014, 30(3): 109-118.

Abstract(393) PDF(11)

Abstract:
With the development of social economy and the progress of science technology, the demand of apphed talents in instrument science and technology is increasing. The experimental teaching in the instrument science and technology is one of the most important curricula in the college life, and it is the main way to cultivate applied talents. In the past ten years, a series of exploration and research were taken by the universities to improve the experimental teaching system. In this paper, some reform ideas are put forward and the experimental teaching system with Chinese characteristics is explored by comparing the current situation of experimental teaching in universities at home and abroad, which can cultivate students' innovative consciousness and scientific literacy.
