An Eco-analysis of the Multimodal Effects in China's EFL Education

XIAO Hao-zhang, YANG Ying-ying

2018, 34(6): 1-9.

Abstract(323) PDF(1)

Abstract:
This article explores the comprehensive impact of multimodal classroom teaching on second language learning in China through meta-analysis.We searched and collected 33 quantitative research papers published in core journals of foreign languages from 2004 to 2018,with a total sample size of 4410 and 39 independent studies.By a matching analysis of Gu Yueguo's(2007) agent-based modeling language(AML) construct and experimental effects of modalities, namely the independent variables and dependent variables and p values, the results show that:(1) the present domestic research on multimodal teaching mainly involves the four skills, viz.listening, speaking, reading and writing, as well as the effects on students'psychological and learning performance.Among them,the study of high-level thinking learning is rare.(2) The meta-analysis reveals the positive and negative effects of multimodality,and the biggest divergence lies in the study of cognitive load in the process of receiving information of multimodality.This indicates the necessity of further research and ecological classroom construction in this field.

Marxism as Reflected in the Hallidayan Approach to Ecolinguistics

LIU Yan, YU Hui

2018, 34(6): 10-17.

Abstract(269) PDF(2)

Abstract:
Ecolinguistics addresses the relationship between language and ecology.Two major approaches have been identified,i.e.Haugenian Approach and Hallidayan Approach.The present study aims to uncover the inheritance and development of Marxist views on language and ecology by the Hallidayan Approach.Among the views are the social nature of language,the relationship between language, matter and consciousness, and linguistic constructivism.Influenced by the “two reconciliations”of Marxist views on ecology,the Hallidayan Approach is also critical of capitalism,which is by nature anti-ecological.The task of a Hallidayan ecolinguist is therefore to uncover“how our ways of meaning affect the impact we have on the environment”.

Diachronic Development and Integrative Study on Chinese and Western Ecolinguistics

LI Qian

2018, 34(6): 18-26.

Abstract(251) PDF(1)

Abstract:
Over the past forty years,ecolinguistics have made steady progress and preliminarily yielded various kinds of theoretical resources and important achievement,yet it still lacks systematic integration as an independent subject.This study will make an attempt to conduct a comprehensive integration study on the development of Chinese and Western ecolinguistics from the diachronic perspective.By dividing and systematizing important development phases,this study finds their limitations and drawbacks respectively.Meanwhile,it tries to seek for specific means and approaches to conduct an integrative study of Chinese and Western ecolinguistics.It also provides an extensive theoretical framework and a concrete practical reference,so as to realize communication in the field of ecolinguistics,and promote theoretical and methodologies constructions of China and Western countries,advancing integrated and diversified development of ecolinguistics.

Green Grammar: A Coca-based Analysis of Classifier Collocates of OIL

LIU Shu-xin

2018, 34(6): 27-32.

Abstract(304) PDF(1)

Abstract:
Different from traditional grammar,Green grammar criticizes non-ecological phenomena existing in certain language system, and attempts to construct expressions which are of harmonious relationship with ecology.This paper, based on COCA,conducted an analysis of the keyword OIL by examining its classifier collocates.The result shows(1)that the most frequent collocate of OIL is PRICE,indicating that price of oil plays an important role in human experience;(2) that PRICE OF OIL occurs with the most frequency in SPOK corpus of COCA,indicating that social context plays a determining role in discourse meanings.Unsteady political structure in the world leads money ideology takes the first place of human life instead of the ultimate relationship within the ecosystem.Only certain ultimate relationship is expressed unambiguously,could such nonecological behaviors be improved to promote ecological harmoniousness.

A Comparative Study of China and Germany News Climate Change Discourse from the Perspective of Ecolinguistics

LU Jiao-jiao

2018, 34(6): 33-42.

Abstract(217) PDF(5)

Abstract:
Through a self-built Sino-German media climate change corpus and the corpus-driven linguistic discourse analysis(LDA),a comparative study of the media discourse of the two countries was conducted.The key topic distributions and the discourse dispute centers are meanwhile explored.The differential construction of climate change discourse and the ecological view reflected by the differences are also discussed,which can be seen as a beneficial exploration of environmental discourse under the perspective of ecological linguistics.

Abstract(246) PDF(0)

Abstract:
During the period of Qin and early Han dynasties,the Yandao Copper Mountain in Shu County was a top national copper mining place.The Empire abandoned its right of coin casting,and gave it to the civil society,afterwards the Emperor bestowed the mountain to DENG Tong, who just a sycophant of the Emperor, which causing the Deng coins spreaded over the country as the King Wu coins in Wen Emperor period.This seemingly capricious behavior of the emperor was actually an important piece to struggle with the ambitious King Wu Liu Bi.On political,it reduced the space of provoking the contradictory between Han and Wu as well as the insurgency gathered strength of King Wu.On economic,it won with a war material extractive capacity equal to the King Wu,which meanwhile accumulating enormous wealth for force to eliminate Liu's Kingdoms in future for Han Emperor.And thus this was the contribution to the Wen-Jing Zhi Zhi—the prosperity during the reins of Wen-ti and Ching-ti,made by the Yandao Copper Mountain.This series of tortuous operations are in line with the style of Wen-ti's weakening the kingdoms and proved this style of him.From this,we can also see a glimpse of the influence of the southwest copper resources on the empire.

ZHANG Bai-hua, NIE Wei

2018, 34(6): 79-86.

Abstract(321) PDF(1)

Abstract:
The discussion on relationship between historical facts and theories always occupies an important position in the researches of social science domains.The research paradigm,with the combination of historical facts and theories,taking the scientific theories as instruction,can reach a situation where researchers can possess a comprehensive understanding of the historical development.It also helps researchers to summarize the development tendencies and rules to propose more scientific viewpoints which can instruct and foresee the following development.Translation history and theories are two kinds of research branches subjected to translation studies.Nowadays the issues of the relationships between them has been discussed widely.Combing with the research paradigm of history and theories,this paper tries to have a diachronic and synchronic understanding towards current translation appearance by clarifying the development of translation history and evolution of translation theories,which hopes to benefit the construction of China's translation theory system.

Checks and Balances and the “Vetocracy” Dilemma of American Democracy: A Study of American Democratic Efficiency from the Perspective of Institutional Costs

LIU Xiao-zhou

2018, 34(6): 87-94.

Abstract(447) PDF(3)

Abstract:
A system of checks and balances is the basic institutional arrangement of American democratic politics.It plays an important role in preventing political tyranny,balancing diversified interests and enhancing decision-making prudence.However, this institutional arrangement requires sacrificing decision-making efficiency.In recent years, the views of the two major political parties—the Democrats and the Republicans—have become polarized.The presidency and the two houses of Congress are often controlled by different parties.The antagonism between the political parties has resulted in a “vetocracy.” The benefits of the American government's decentralized system have decreased,while the costs have risen remarkably.This has caused the operation of American democracy and state governance to be negatively impacted.To solve this problem,in theory,we can adopt the idea of reducing the opposition of the political parties without touching the institutional arrangement of checks and balances.We also can adopt the institutional reform paths of adjusting the legislative checks and balances between the U.S.Senate,the House of Representatives and the President, or changing the presidential system to a parliamentary system.In reality, the possibility of changing the institutional arrangement of checks and balances is very unlikely-unless institutional costs rise to a point that American society cannot afford.

Abstract(270) PDF(0)

Abstract:
The national transformation appeals to the superposition of direct material and abstract interests in regard to political power,and the spillover of national interests and the deepening of globalization require changes within its government.At the domestic level, national governance needs to pay more attention to the social attributes of geopolitics, to explore in-depth the issues of justice,power and rights.The difficulty lies is the requirement to realize comprehensive and objective state governance.At the international level,China's development should have its own interests.It is necessary to absorb the advanced external experience in the complex international environment as well as participate in the construction of the world system,to contribute to the national world governance scheme and adapt to the spatial turn of China's national interest pattern.Coordinating the international and domestic situations is needed to successfully manage geopolitics in the process of modernization,and it is the inevitable choice to realize the great rejuvenation of China.

The Legal Expression of the“Three Rights Separation” of Rural Homesteads

YUE Hong-qiang, ZHANG Gang

2018, 34(6): 103-110.

Abstract(357) PDF(5)

Abstract:
The “three rights separation” policy is a major institutional innovation in China’s adjustment of the relationship between farmers and land.It is necessary to use scientific legal ideas and theories to clarify the legal connotation of policies and achieve full conversion from policy language to legal norms.In the rural revitalization strategy,the three rights separation references the three rural reforms regarding agricultural land,namely:1) the re-development of agricultural production methods and land marketization, 2) the relationship reconstruction between rural collective economic organizations and grassroots autonomous organizations and 3)peasant identity interest and self-liberation.Through an analysis of nowadays viewpoints of the three rights separation of the homestead—the legal structure of the three rights—separation of the homestead is expressed as“the collective ownership of the homestead—the homestead land use rights—the qualification rights of the homestead.” The qualification rights of the homestead are based on the right to identity and include the compound rights of the content of the property rights.In future civil code, property rights should adhere to the collective ownership of rural land; stipulate the collective ownership of rural land as the total relationship; revise the system norms that refine the change of membership rights; and establish a supporting system for the right of homestead and the right to use the homestead.
