English Complex Aspectuality: A Functional Approach
ZHANG Cun-yu, HE Wei
2015, 31(5): 7-15.
Abstract(260) PDF(5)
Abstract:
Based on Systemic Functional Linguistics,this paper aims to explore the complex aspectuality system of English.This study shows that the complex aspectuality is classified into complex viewpoint aspect which refers to the homogeneous or heterogeneous ways continuously viewing on the same situation by the speaker and complex situation aspect which is the combined configuration of the internal time schemata of situation.Through viewpoint shifting and repeating,the complex viewpoint aspect is formed in two combination ways.Complex situation aspect is combined by the way of hypotactic verbal complex and the limitation of participant and circumstance in a clause.
A Quantitative and Qualitative Study on How Chinese Incomplete Motor Aphasics Recognize Chinese Language Chunks
LI Mei-xia, XIE Yuan, FU Jie
2015, 31(5): 16-21.
Abstract(253) PDF(6)
Abstract:
By employing quantitative and qualitative methods,the present article aims to study how Chinese incomplete motor aphasics recognize Chinese language chunks,and why they have a lot of difficulties in recognizing them.Findings are as follows:(1)Aphasics'recognition ability of Chinese language chunks has been greatly damaged,but their aural and visual recognition abilities of chunks don't vary very much;(2)Aphasics have great difficulties in recognizing metaphoric and metonymic phrases,fixed phrases(Chinese idioms and idiomatic expressions)with emotional meanings,and fixed collocations with negative meanings;(3)In recognizing noun phrases,aphasics'recognition ability is very similar to normals'.Reasons for their reduced ability to recognize Chinese language chunks are mainly two:①Chinese language chunks consist of complicated grammar structure,logic structure and semantic structure,which increase the cognitive burdens of aphasics;②Aphasics'cognitive ability or specifically conceptual blending ability is greatly damaged,which makes the chunks recognition tasks harder.This study is helpful for further studies on the connections between brain damages and structures of Chinese language chunks.It can also help us to replenish some relative linguistic theories and to find ways to connect language chunks with the recovery of aphasics.
Evaluation in English and Chinese Applied Linguistics Book Descriptions
CHEN Ming-fang
2015, 31(5): 22-28.
Abstract(287) PDF(5)
Abstract:
As one of the important means of academic promotion and a unique genre,book descriptions(BD)put emphasis on both academic and social impact of certain books.Thus,book descriptions play the role of offering relevant information as well as comments of these books,so that these books are of some importance in certain fields.This study reports an analysis of book descriptions by Oxford University Press(OUP)and Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press(FLTRP)from two related angles:genre structure and lexicogrammatical features.Based on a small scale comparative study,it reveals that evaluation resources in the English and Chinese discourse present some major differences such as the process types and thematic structures.

Abstract(555) PDF(6)
Abstract:
In the 1.28 Incident Chiang Kai-shek implemented a positive resist,strategic approach to prepare representations,and took effective strategic measures,such as Nanjing and Shanghai defenses and military deployments;moved the capital to Luoyang;divided theater;reinforced troop movements;strengthened coastal defenses;built a second line of defense;developed the second phase of the resistance battle plan,the final part of the strategy to achieve its purpose:under the premise of not signing a treaty ceding territory to reach a truce agreement with Japan.Constraints of the strategy included political,economic and military.Overall,Chiang Kai-shek's strategy is partly valid,but there are also negative components,the performance of the strategy is subject to the political objective of “the stabbing outside must first be peace within” ,and the resistance is only a limited resistance.And “Songhu Armistice Agreement” provides China could not garrison in Shanghai to Suzhou and Kunshan area,so China's sovereignty was violated,and the other part of the strategic objectives of Chiang Kai-shek—to signa treaty of armistice with Japan without losing the right,was not achieved.

ZHANG Mei-fang, LI Ge
2015, 31(5): 55-61.
Abstract(347) PDF(5)
Abstract:
Since the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China,in the field of Chinese obstetrics,women's reproductive activities had gradually undergone a process of medicalization basing on the western medical knowledge,of which is a part of Chinese modernization.However,compared with the general debate between Chinese traditional medicine(TCM)and western medicine,the latter's predominance in the field of obstetrics and consequent establishment of a new medical order in it were less concerned by academia.Based on the analysis of historical archives about disciplinary practices of midwives in Beijing from 1912 to 1937,this paper discusses the strategies adopted by western-style doctors in competition with TCM doctors.It suggests that the success of western medicine in obstetrics during this time was more dependent on the interaction of many complex social and cultural factors than its advance knowledge and technology.

Abstract(335) PDF(3)
Abstract:
Cultures can be advanced or backward,and advanced culture is a timeless conception.Only persisting in learning advanced culture and conducting cultural exchange with the attitude of cultural bequest can people preserve their own national traditional culture and keep cultural diversified.This is not only a starting point for cultural communication,but also a standpoint for sinological education and communication.The cultural dimension which contains multiple meanings is essential to sinological education and communication.Firstly,during the process of educating and communicating,it is necessary to persevere in autonomy and subjective consciousness to one's own national culture.Secondly,the meaning of the cultural dimension also includes the target or orientation of the sinological education and communication,that is,we should aim at cultivating and improving juveniles'cultural quality and enhancing national cultural deposits in their mental structure.Thirdly,the way of educating and communicating is supposed to be detailed and life-oriented.Only if the sinological education and communication is integrated into the daily life of common people and become the basic elements of their way of life,it can play its due role.If not,it will be dead knowledge in books or Confucian masters'teaching materials forever,and have no concern with inheriting and developing the excellent national cultural tradition.
