港式中文及其特点

本文将香港社会流通的中文书面语归类为：标准中文、粤式中文、港式中文、中英混合文等四类,文中比较了上述各类书面语的不同,特别分析了在香港广泛流通的港式中文的特点,包括受粤语影响的港式中文,受英语影响的港式中文,受文言影响的港式中文以及多种形式混合的港式中文。笔者从社会语言学的角度阐述了港式中文产生的背景,并介绍了香港学界对港式中文的截然不同的评论。文章指出港式中文是香港中文书面语的一种客观存在,也反映出香港社区中语言文化多元化的现象,但仍希望改善港式中文,提高香港的中文水平。

Exploring inclusive pedagogical practices in Hong Kong primary EFL classrooms

Social diversity is now commonplace in many communities in today’s globalised world. This diversity can be seen in any classroom of learners, and international studies have shown the complex ways in which disabilities, race, ethnicity, gender and social class can determine a child’s opportunity to succeed or fail in the education system. In Hong Kong, like in many educational contexts around the world, teachers are grappling with increasing diversity amongst their students, including teaching students with special educational needs (SEN) and non-Chinese speaking students (NCS) living in Hong Kong. This paper examines how three primary TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) teachers are constructing identities as inclusive practitioners as they grapple with enacting the inclusive education policy recently introduced into Hong Kong schools. The data are drawn from a small-scale collaborative reflective inquiry for teacher professional development. Drawing upon a sociocultural and critical framing of identity theory, we trace the three teachers’ identity construction as EFL teachers and inclusive education practitioners. We view the role of discourse, self-positioning and social context as key processes in teacher identity formation. Implications for furthering the development of inclusive education in EFL classrooms are offered.

Hegemonic Struggles in the Language Policy Development of Hong Kong, 1982–1994

This paper applies the concept of hegemony as a form of ideological and cultural domination to understand the orientations and strategies of the capitalist state and civil society actors participating in the process of determining the medium of instruction for secondary schools in Hong Kong between 1982 and 1994. During this period, language policy making became a public arena in which the state and organised civil society actors struggled to maintain or establish hegemony in controlling and mediating the allocation of societal resources under democratisation and changeover of sovereignty. As their hegemonic struggles lacked any coordinated effort to cultivate a collective will among the general public, ambivalence over the use of the mother tongue versus English as the medium of instruction continued to haunt practitioners.     

普通话作为二语的节奏模式的实验研究

节奏特征对于语音的自然度有直接影响。针对普通话语音,本文比较了普通话母语者、母语为粤语的二语学习者、母语为英语的二语学习者的节奏模式。研究从含有轻声的孤立词开始,重点考察连续语流,通过11种时长指标的测量从客观上分析节奏模式。针对连续语流的研究发现,基于语速无关的或者语速归一化的时长指标,作为二语的普通话显示出与母语普通话非常接近的节奏模式;而基于未做语速归一化处理的时长指标,作为二语的普通话则向重音节拍模式的方向迁移,与说话人母语的节奏模式无关。这一结果,与孤立词情形下的结果并不一致,也违反了母语迁移效应的一般假设,但是与我们的听感基本吻合,其原因可以用二语与母语的语速差异、以及韵律结构变化带来的停延频次的差异来解释。     

汉语教学在香港

香港作为东西文化交汇的国际都市,语言使用和语言教学呈多元化的发展模式。随着香港与内地联系的日益紧密,针对本地学生的汉语教学以及众多外籍人士的对外汉语教学都有了很大发展,并已初见成效。     

南宁福建村官话词汇中的非官话成分

将所调查的近6000个词汇与普通话、柳州官话及周边方言、壮语进行比较,发现：南宁福建村官话词汇中保留着典型的官话词汇成分,但在语言接触中,大量的南宁白话．南宁平话、壮语的词汇或语素已经渗透进福建村官话的词汇系统里,南宁白话词汇对福建村官话词汇影响最大。     

Negotiating teacher professionalism: governmentality and education reform in Hong Kong

This research investigates how the Hong Kong state controls and disciplines the education sector through the regulation and manipulation of discourses. The authoritative narratives are that some schools are failing the students and parents for not being able to provide quality education, and that these schools are not subject to public scrutiny while spending public money. This article seeks to understand the role of such narratives in neoliberal politics and the marketisation of education which lead to governance in the form of initiatives in school quality assurance mechanism; how different actors (Education Bureau, Professional Teachers' Union and individual teachers) are involved in the process; how they negotiate this governance of education; how such governance transforms the self-perception of teachers as well as the perception of teachers by others; and how teachers interpret, appropriate and resist such discursive power.

香港中文教育面临的重要抉择

在中小学,用普通话教中国语文科,还是用广东话教中国语文科,这是目前香港中文教育面临的一个重要抉择。政府有关部门将普教中订为长远目标,而至今没有定出全港中小学实现普教中的时间表。普教中好?还是广教中好?学界也有分歧。本文从宏观与微观不同的角度,分析普教中的好处,借鉴了历史上和现实中不同地域中文教育的经验,同时评析了香港社会关于普教中的现状及各种意见。     

Dynamics of Chinese nationalistic education in Hong Kong from 1945 to 2012

‘Chinese’ is an ambiguous term, depending on whether it is taken to describe a political, linguistic, or cultural entity. While the term has often been considered to represent a politically and culturally homogeneous national identity in recent decades, this article aims to challenge this notion by examining the characteristics and practices of nationalistic education in Hong Kong since 1945. It explores how national identity has been interpreted by different Chinese states over time through different educational policies and practices. Focusing on the evolution of nationalistic education in three phases, this article presents a detailed account and analyses different nationalist narratives over six decades. It describes how different political forces define themselves and come to terms with what are often dual or competing national identities. Historical examples illustrate the challenges in policies and practices of nationalistic education.     

内地、香港语文教科书的性别意识形态比较

教科书隐含着特定的性别意识形态,研究选择内地北师大版与香港新亚洲版小学语文教科书为文本,运用频度统计技术,从选文作者、课文主角、课文人名、插图人物、职业角色五个维度量化分析,认为两套教科书使用的是男性话语,隐含着男性文化或者说是父权意识形态,而且这种倾向香港比大陆更为突出。     

港台手语语言学研究概况

香港和台湾手语不同于中国大陆手语,香港手语受上海手语和广州手语影响较大,而台湾手语则主要受到日本手语的影响.港台手语的语言学研究虽然相对落后于欧美国家,但早于中国大陆手语的语言学研究.本文试图从手语语音、形态、句法等方面对港台手语的语言学研究作一个概括性的介绍,以促进中国两岸三地手语的语言学研究.     

港、台大学中国语言及文学专业的课程设置及启示

中国语言及文学专业作为本土的文学专业,正像其他各语种的语言及文学专业一样,是现代大学国际化进程中的一个另类。随着全球化进程的加剧,本土的语言及文学专业的国际化问题是一个必须予以特别关注的话题。在大学国际化的大语境中,本土的语言及文学专业,需要打造学生的国际视野,加强学生的外语学习,更新课程设置理念,及时开出反映国外先进知识、先进文化并以外语主讲的课程,还要更新教学方式、作业方式及考核评价方式。     

Major issues of university education policy in Hong Kong

University education is believed to be one of the most controversial public policies in Hong Kong. Numerous changes have also occurred in the university education sector since the 1990s when the rapid expansion of university places was put into force. The most notable changes may include the institutionalization of quality assurance mechanisms, the reform of university governance and staff remuneration systems, the adoption of role differentiation among the universities, the potential emergence of private universities and community colleges, and the trend of internationalizing university education. This article identifies major issues of university education policy and examines those factors that are affecting the development of university education, in Hong Kong.     

Understanding mainland Chinese students' motivations for choosing teacher education programmes in Hong Kong

In this paper, we report on an inquiry exploring the experiences of 10 mainland Chinese student teachers of English so as to understand why they came to Hong Kong for a teacher education programme. The study revealed that these students were largely attracted to teaching in Hong Kong because of its extrinsic benefits such as professional stability, the prestige associated with the English language teaching profession and the opportunities to acquire valued skills transferable to other professions including English competence. Facing challenges as non‐local students, they were also uncertain of becoming teachers in the new context. As ‘elite’ Chinese students were often unwilling to become teachers, we found it strategic to attract a large number of talented non‐local students to the teaching profession and retain them. We conclude the paper with recommendations for various stakeholders to support these non‐local students' adaptation and development as committed and competent teachers in local schools.     

粤-普-英讲话者的语义表征研究

采用长时重复启动范式,考察粤-普-英讲话者高频的粤语词、普通话词和英语词之间语义两两通达的可能性.结果发现,在高频词学习中,在学习阶段无论呈现粤语词、普通话词还是英文词,粤语词的语义表征均能被激活(实验一);在学习阶段呈现普通话词或英文词也可以激活普通话词的语义表征(实验二).整个研究表明,在粤-普-英讲话者的心理词典中,粤语词、普通话词和英语词共享同一语义表征.粤-普-英讲话者三语间的概念表征是对称的,两种语言之间的概念联系均为强的联系.     

浅析英语语言中的性别歧视

性别歧视是英语语言中一种客观存在的语言现象,反映了社会传统和文化,因此它成了跨文化交际中值得人们关注的一种现象。分析英语传统文化,词汇,语言使用上存在的不平等性,句法归纳等英语语言中的性别歧视,并提出应如何避免使用性别歧视语,以便人们进行得体的交际。     

语言与教育

语言是人的存在的中心，亦是教育的中心。什么样的语言表达什么样的教育。古典诗性语言向现代工具语言的转变与古典人教育向现代功利教育的转变同步。语言与教育在当今面临着严峻的挑战，应加强语言的教育。汉民族语言与教育的困境更为突出，应加强汉族语言的教育，它维系着民族的过去、今天和未来。
