委婉语隐喻运作机制初探

隐喻是构成委婉语的重要方法之一。本文从语义冲突、映射及相似性作用三方面对委婉语隐喻的运作机制进行分析,有利于我们对委婉语进行深入探索,揭示隐喻本质,以期对外语及对外汉语教学有一定促进作用。     

现实中委婉语的应用

委婉语是语言中的一种常见现象,也是人际交往中一种重要的语言手段。本文从语用学的角度来分析委婉语,探讨委婉语与语用原则之间的关系。委婉语违背合作原则各准则而产生,其选择及理解都依赖于语境,并遵循礼貌原则、闻接言语行为理论和面子论。     

英汉委婉语对比研究

委婉语是语言中不可或缺的一部分,它象征着社会的文明与时代性,折射出当时的社会背景文化。本文研究了英汉两种语言在表达失业、低微职业、年老和死亡四个方面使用委婉语的差异之处,分析这些委婉语产生的文化因素,旨在促进中西方的跨文化交流。

商务英语教学中委婉语的策略与学生面子需求

委婉语不仅是一种修饰手段,而且是一种隐含会话含义的语言现象,是一种间接的言语行为。委婉语违背合作原则,导致会话含义的产生,恰恰是为了礼貌原则与面子论的需求。本文用语用学的"面子保全理论"阐述了委婉语在英语教学中的重要意义,并通过调查大学生面子需求的情况,提出了在商务英语教学中使用委婉语的一些策略。     

汉语动词“起”一词多义现象的认知研究

一词多义是人类语言的普遍现象,体现了社会、文化的发展及人类认知的不断进步。本文从认知语言学的角度出发,借助原型范畴理论、隐喻和转喻机制及相关理论,对汉语动词＂起＂一词多义现象的形成过程及其语义延伸机制进行剖析,旨在系统地探讨分析多义形成的认知机制及多义词相关义项之间的关联性。     

语篇分析过程中的隐喻解析

隐喻是一种重要的架构策略,它影响着语篇的生成与理解。本文从隐喻对语篇的语体特征、衔接与连贯以及整个语篇的理解角度进行综合分析,揭示了隐喻建构语篇的功能。一、理论背景传统上隐喻被看作是在有限条件下使用的非常规语言。隐喻是语言和思想的最基本的成分,是构成常规理性认知活动的概念系统。隐喻普遍存在于语言、思维、行为之中。Lakoff认     

从英语交际理论来看大学英语隐喻翻译的策略

隐喻是一种思维方式和认知手段,是语言使用中的普遍现象。隐喻相关论文的翻译受到诸多因素的影响,其中最重要的是文化因素。因此。我们在翻译隐喻时要充分考虑文化因素的影响,根据不同的情况采用不同的翻译方法,主要有：保留源语喻体和喻义,将隐喻转换成明喻,保留源语喻体并加注释,保留源语喻义而舍弃其喻体。这在大学英语的学习过程中以尤为重要,因此掌握一些隐喻翻译的技巧就显得十分有必要了。     

浅谈英语委婉语

掌握好委婉语这一重要修辞手段不仅可以提高修辞素养,开阔文化视野,还能增强阅读理解及交际能力。另外,通过对委婉语的观察研究,可以对异彩纷呈的社会现象及社会心理窥豹一斑。     

隐喻和政治解读

隐喻是人类的一种重要的认知现象。语言隐喻本质上是隐喻思维在语言中的表现。人们通过隐喻理解抽象概念与复杂状况,因而隐喻思维广泛应用于政治实践,为政治问题的分析与解决提供新的思路,同样也为制定某种政策或采取某项行动制造舆论。文章结合具体的事例,揭示了隐喻在政治语篇中的运用。     

Advances in Morphometrics in Archaeobotany

ABSTRACT

Morphometric analysis offers an alternative or augmentation to traditional archaeobotanical methods to address differences within and between plant species and their remains, refining and enhancing taxonomic resolution. Morphometrics, the measurement of size and shape, and the multivariate statistical analysis of generated quantitative variables, have long played a major role in biological research, including plant taxonomy and systematics, although its application in archaeobotany is relatively recent. Over the last few decades, there has been an increasing interest in the use of morphometrics for analysing a varied range of archaeological plant materials (mainly seeds, pollen, phytoliths, and starch grains). In particular, morphometrics have contributed to the study of the domestication and spread of many cereals world-wide, as well as that of other taxa including legumes, underground storage organs (USO), and fruits (such as olives, grapes, and dates). This paper reviews current methodologies, recent applications, and advances in the use of morphometrics in archaeobotanical research, discusses its role in exploring major research questions, and suggests possible future directions for its use.     

杏开二月

已经是二月仲春了,大地柔软,天气慢慢热起来了。一场习习的春雨,浇得人心头酥酥的。我第一次注意到,家门前的杏树开了。枝干上,星星点点,挑着几朵白,轻盈得很,把薄薄的心打开,驻足美的枝头,观赏人间烟火。背后是灰灰的庭院,低矮的     

Geography in Higher Education in Australia

Within the last 30 years, geographical information systems (GIS) have been used increasingly in the training of geographers. On the basis of the philosophy of technology and instrumental genesis, we sketch how the use of instruments interacts with learning processes and outline how this can be studied. We empirically analyse students' learning processes and the influences of teaching practice in an introductory course in GIS. We show that students have different strategies for creating their personal instrument for spatial thinking and how teaching interacts with the students' learning processes. Finally, we discuss how GIS may gradually alter future professional development of geographers.     

America in Speech and in Deed

The author's primary aim in what follows is to fully articulate Chantal Delsol's critique of late modern universalism as an attempt to depoliticize the individual for the sake of replacing politics with morality. The result of this depoliticization is a quasi-pantheistic cosmopolitanism that not only effectively denies the significance of individuality, despite rhetorically lionizing it, but also undercuts the freedom of individual conscience that makes moral choice possible. Genuine political prudence and moral judgment are subsequently replaced by the rigid exactitude of a technocratic analysis that reintroduces the "clandestine ideology" it was, despite protestations to the contrary, intended to eliminate. The unhappy paradox produced by the attempt to replace the necessary limitations of political judgment with the universality of a priori moral decree is that a new set of culturally and historically idiosyncratic political attachments are surreptitiously introduced beyond the pale of reasonable debate and disagreement. Delsol's measured response is not a precipitous rejection of universalism as such but a rehabilitation of it that recaptures the Christian moral realism at its core.     

Tibetan-Inhabited Area in Deqen in Development

Deqen, honored as “Shangri La”,is located in the area where three rivers meet to form one in the Henduan Mountains straddling the borders of Yunnan, Sichuan and Tibet.
