Abstract:
By applying the ROST CM 6.0, this paper analyzes the conference brochures of ecolinguistic conferences at home and abroad in 2020. Based on the results of content mining, this paper aims at finding the state of the art and the features in the academic field, and by horizontal contrast analysis and resorting briefly to the current literature, trying to identify the directions for future research. This study finds that both Chinese and international researches have attached great importance to the domestic topics; international researches shows great trans-disciplinary features, and focuses more on the Haugenian paradigm of ecolinguistics, whose heated topics include ecological sustainability, economy, etc. But Hallidayan paradigm needs further academic attention. In China, the heated topics for research are ecological analysis of discourse, eco-translatology, and an ecological paradigm of language learning and teaching. With the first topic being the center of ecolinguistic research in China, this study has shown there are some problems with Chinese ecolinguistic research. And on this basis, this paper points out future studies in China should persist on domestic features but in the meantime, trans-disciplinary research and other paradigms than traditional ones are potentially heated topics for research.
An Instantiation Analysis of English News Reports of Chinese Legal Cases
GUO Jing-si, ZHENG Jie
2021, 37(6): 592-598.
Abstract(403) HTML (429) PDF(34)
Abstract:
English news reports are one of the most important approaches to publicize Chinese legal ideology and progress globally. Based on the framework of instantiation in Systemic Functional Linguistics, the discourse analyses of ‘coupling’ along the process of instantiation lead to a deeper understanding of how Chinese media use linguistic strategies to report those important legal events in China. This paper takes the examples of redressing several wrongly convicted cases that symbolize the legal progresses in China as an object of the research. The results find out that under the context of legal news, China Daily employs the coupling of interpersonal and ideational meaning along the cline of instantiation to express attitudes and take the position. When it comes to the concrete analysis of ‘court’ and ‘wrongly convicted people and their family’, firstly, the discourse establishes the action and credibility of the judicial authority through the coupling of relational process or material process in transitivity system and judgment or appreciation in the appraisal system. Secondly, the wrongly convicted people and their family’s living conditions and emotional changes are demonstrated by coupling of behavioral process or mental process and affect. The use of the coupling model in instantiation intends to make the media discourse more convincing, in order to strengthen the ability of overseas publicity of Chinese media and to construct a better understanding of the legal ideology and judicial progress in China.
A Contrastive Ecological Discourse Analysis of English Translations of Chinese Public Signs on Environmental Protection
SONG Ping, JIN Zhi-ru
2021, 37(6): 599-605.
Abstract(440) HTML (372) PDF(47)
Abstract:
With Harmonious Ecological Sense of Place as a guiding principle, ecological discourse analysis as a theoretical framework, the contrastive ecological attributes of English translations of Chinese public signs on environmental protection are analyzed, thus offering suggestions for translations of environmental signs. The results show that there are differences in the ways of ecological meaning representation in the English translations of environmental public signs in different subcategories. The vegetation type relies mainly on Mental Processes to symbolize their ecological meaning. The protection of environment and resources mainly expresses ecological meaning through relational process. The control of garbage and pollution type mainly highlights the ecological attributes through the action process. Suggestion of the translation of public signs on environmental protection is made.
A Summary of Domestic Research on Chinese Construction Grammar in the Last Decade
CHANG Fang-ling
2021, 37(6): 606-613.
Abstract(527) HTML (1014) PDF(126)
Abstract:
Since construction grammar was introduced into China, the combination of Chinese research and grammar has become a new research hotspot. Considering the great changes in the domestic Chinese construction research during the past decade compared with the previous studies, this article aims to summarize studies on Chinese construction grammar in 2010−2019 from the following aspects: theoretical research, operational research, and applied research. Especially, this study would set “construction” or “construction grammar” as search words based on the CSSCI database. The research found that the research on domestic Chinese constructions in the last decade has developed rapidly but unevenly. For instance, few studies focused on quantitative methods and interlanguage. And in the selection of construction, the researchers tended to choose a fixed criterion. These imbalances are worthy of further exploration in the future.

Engels’ Philosophical Reflection on Competition-An Investigation of Critical Outline of National Economics
LIN Xiu-neng
2021, 37(6): 614-621.
Abstract(441) HTML (587) PDF(38)
Abstract:
Existing studies underestimated the philosophical value of Critical Outline of National Economics because of the negative evaluation of Engels for specific needs in a specific period in his later years. It is urgent to deeply investigate the core clue of competition and reconstruct the “philosophical reflection of competition” shown by Engels in his text. It could help us to have a deeper understanding of Engels’ criticism of national economics. Private ownership ensured that the law of competition played a role, and the competition itself also depended on private ownership. Within this framework, monopoly and competition generated each other. The contradiction contained in the competition was that it tore the identity of the subject and made the subject fall into infinite self-contradiction, which could not be reconciled. Engels revealed that the competition advocated by national economists was a “self-interest” behavior dressed in the cloak of “mutual benefit”. Competition brought the opposition between man and nature and between man and man, resulting in the dehumanizing cognition of man. The Outline had profound practical enlightening significance.
On the Interpretation of Geographical Images in Classical Ci Poetry-Taking HuaJianJi As the Research Center
JIANG Xin-yu
2021, 37(6): 622-629.
Abstract(437) HTML (249) PDF(28)
Abstract:
Geographical image is an important category and perspective for the interpretation of classical Ci. Whether the vocabularies related to the geographical environment in the text can be interpreted from the perspective of the image depends on the degree of impact it has on the expression in Huajianji. There exist several ways to generate geographical images, like fictitious imagination based on literary tradition, image generation based on real space perception and real description of field records. Combining the tradition of the previous generation with unique new perception, the poets express regional spaces like Jiangnan, frontier fortress, Jingchu and Nanyue. The differences in urban images in Huajianji imply the mental differences from poets in their perception of space. The inheritance and breakthrough of later CI poets in the way of choosing geographical images is an important content to comb the evolution of the Millennium Ci history.

ZHANG Xiao-feng, ZHOU Xin-yu
2021, 37(6): 630-637.
Abstract(455) HTML (249) PDF(28)
Abstract:
With the rapid development of science and technology in our country, universities’ scientific research tasks and scientific research funding is growing rapidly. To ensure the continuous output of scientific and technological achievements, the work efficiency of scientific researchers should be further improved, and the scientific research time of scientific researchers should be arranged efficiently. Improving the construction of scientific research assistant positions can be very important. It is good to increase the direct scientific research time of scientific researchers and assist in the output of results. But since the concept of research assistant was put forward, it has not produced very good results. The article summarizes and analyzes the problems of college graduates as research assistants. As the current position of scientific research assistants in universities still has problems such as unclear positioning, unsound systems, and incomplete training, universities need to continue to follow up and study relevant national documents, clarify job responsibilities, establish a sound management system, improve the ability of research assistants. Universities need to further liberate the productivity of scientific research personnel, improve the efficiency of scientific research personnel, effectively undertake more scientific research projects, continuously output outstanding talents for the country, promote the rapid development of the national science and technology industry, and improve the country’s international scientific and technological competitiveness.

GENG Yue-jie, CHEN Jian, ZHANG Tian
2021, 37(6): 645-651.
Abstract(660) HTML (325) PDF(41)
Abstract:
The undergraduate tutorial system is an educational measure to give full play to the important role of College Teachers in high morals molding and the people-oriented cultivation and improve the quality of talent training. The essence of the undergraduate tutorial system at Oxford University is to establish a close relationship between teachers and students and to stimulate students’ independent thinking and independent learning ability. The implementation of the tutorial system in China is faced with the predicament of the rapid increase of the scale of higher education and the relative shortage of tutors. Taking the whole-course tutorial system for undergraduates in University of Science and Technology Beijing as an example, this paper discusses the theoretical basis, system practice and implementation effect of the “3+3” tutorial system for undergraduates, and puts forward that efforts should be made in four aspects, such as understanding, organization, interaction and assessment. The results of the questionnaire survey show that the “3+3” undergraduate tutorial system has a good effect.

LI Ming-chen, GUO De-xia, JIANG Peng
2021, 37(6): 652-659.
Abstract(368) HTML (186) PDF(33)
Abstract:
Practice is the fundamental and soul of engineering education, which is the source of engineering students’ engineering consciousness and engineering ability. At present, the engineering students’ practical skills cannot meet the needs of enterprises for engineering talents. The shortages of practical skills correlate with “no engineering” in the evaluation of the universities’ teachers, in the curriculum, and the enterprise practice. Based on the analysis of the above three aspects, the paper puts forward the corresponding improvements of the three following systems: teacher management system, practical teaching system, and internship system.

Research on the Ownership of Data Competitive Rights of Network Operators
ZHAO Li-li, ZHANG Xue
2021, 37(6): 660-669.
Abstract(351) HTML (427) PDF(29)
Abstract:
Data are the key production factors for network operators to carry out market activities. Clarifying the ownership of data rights and interests of network operators is the prerequisite for the benign development of the data market. The exclusive ownership of data rights is easy to cause many difficulties such as low data utilization and privacy security risks. Therefore, based on the concept of ‘protecting competition rather than competitors’, by weighing the rights and interests of free competition of operators, the rights and interests of users’ free decision-making and the public interest generated by benign competition mechanism, it is sure that network operators have competitive rights and interests for their data resources, which is helpful to regulate the vicious competition behavior of network operators in the process of using data resources and encourage them to actively participate in market competition as the market players.

XING Bin-wen
2021, 37(6): 670-678.
Abstract(382) HTML (231) PDF(21)
Abstract:
How to make proper responses to relevant scientific and technological issues by legislation becomes a challenge in modern society. We should try to reach a consensus in the legislative process. Based on the practice of NPC and NPCSC, the Constitution and Law Committee may fully consider the opinions of experts, relevant organizations and agencies during the unified deliberation of law drafts, then decide to adjust the definitions of related concepts, maintain or change the definitions based on specific concepts/standard legal measures, or supply special explanations about scientific and technological topics. There is a complicated relationship between legislation and science. The Constitution and Law Committee uses a variety of strategies to deal with scientific and technological issues based on the legal methods. We should keep the legislative process more transparent and democratic, and strengthen public participation in legislation, to eliminate the risk of uncertainty caused by modern technology.
Research on the Interpretation of Criminal Law under the Dichotomy of Cybercrime
ZHANG Xin-wen
2021, 37(6): 679-688.
Abstract(413) HTML (305) PDF(24)
Abstract:
According to the different texts of criminal law, cybercrime can be divided into networked traditional crime and specialized cybercrime. This dichotomy of cybercrime shows various differences in the interpretation of criminal law. Traditional cybercrime is more inclined to the theory of infringement of legal interests, substantive interpretation, objective interpretation and expansion interpretation, while special cybercrime is more inclined to the theory of normative violation, formal interpretation, subjective interpretation and limited interpretation. In the misunderstanding of interpretation, the traditional network crime is very easy to overhead the constituent elements. Therefore, it is necessary to use the method of formal interpretation to explain the crime, while the special network crime is easy to ignore the degree of infringement of legal interests. Therefore, it is necessary to explain the crime using substantive interpretation. When interpreting the criminal law of these two types of cybercrimes, we should guard against the misunderstanding of the omnipotent theory of criminal law and take a variety of means to control the harmful behavior of the network.
