外语教学中的文化教育

语言和文化是个整体,语言教学和文化教育不可分割。在外语教学中进行文化教育理所当然。由于国际交往日趋频繁,跨文化交际能力在某种程度上成为衡量现代人才的标准,在外语教学中进行文化教育尤为必要。文化教育的内容可分为语言行为（或非语言行为）、行为准则和核心行为准则等三个层次导入。文化教育要求外语教师对语言与文化有基本的理解、明确文化教育的目的并培养学生对外国文化的正确态度。     

交界地区方言研究的思索——以湘语和赣语交界地区为例

两个或多个方言接壤的地区就构成方言的交界地区,交界地区方言与属性单一的区域方言有不同的特点,空间范围不明确、语言特征不稳定、内部一致性不强.交界地区的方言,是研究区域性方言特征的形成和扩散规律的沃土,用语言地理学的方法研究交界地区的方言,必将有许多新的发现.     

Linking curriculum theory and linguistics: the performative use of ‘equivalence’ as an educational policy concept

The linguistic turn has helped to create new methods within social and educational theory. This study draws attention to the constitutive force of political language and the performative dynamics of one essentially contested concept—equivalence—in Swedish educational policy at both the national and the local level. It illustrates the way in which different interpretations of the concept of equivalence produce different truths, the performative concept thereby becoming a way of advocating particular understandings of the purpose of education.     

Differing perspectives of non-native speaker students’ linguistic experiences on higher degree courses

We report a small-scale study investigating the perceptions of postgraduate students who are non-native speakers of English and those of academic staff with regard to those students. Previous research has focused only on the former and identified a number of linguistic and cultural challenges these students face in adapting to Anglophone institution environments. A sample of 43 students in one department at a Russell Group university were surveyed and a sub-sample interviewed. Six members of academic staff were interviewed and some observed in their teaching. Findings suggest that, despite the high linguistic admission requirements set by the university, this group of students faced a range of difficulties in all four language skills but particularly in skills needed for oral interaction in seminars. Students and staff provided differing accounts of the source of these difficulties and students expressed a desire for better integration with native speaker students. There were also differing accounts regarding the amount of linguistic support students should receive, particularly with regard to proofreading written work. The study suggests a need for further research of this comparative kind potentially leading to recommendations for additional support for students and staff development.     

Impression management messages and reactions to organizational reward allocations: The mediating influence of fairness and responsibility

In this scenario‐based experiment we examined the relationships among impression management messages, evaluations of reward allocations (fairness and responsibility) and reactions to rewards (anger, approval of manager and overall job satisfaction). The results suggest that impression management messages directly influence fairness and responsibility, and indirectly influence anger and approval. Specifically, justifications and enhancements increased evaluations of fairness, excuses decreased attributions of responsibility for unfair rewards, and entitling accounts increased attributions of responsibility for fair rewards. Also, justifications and enhancements indirectly decreased anger, increased approval, and increased job satisfaction through the mediating influence of fairness. Excuses and entitling accounts indirectly decreased anger and increased approval through the mediating influence of responsibility.     

漫谈凡高绘画艺术的审美意象

从中国美学意象的角度对后印象派大师凡高的绘画艺术进行解析,寻找意象和印象的契合点,可以为西方印象派艺术的研究提供一种新的思考理论方法。以凡高的艺术作品为研究基础,对凡高印象派艺术中的审美意象进行研究和剖析,可以看出凡高不仅仅注重描摹物象的真实,而是用他的生命去追求再造形象的独特审美情趣以及自由的艺术意象。     

20世纪西方语言批评视域下的话语分析

随着语言研究与文学理论、文化研究的不断发展与深入。话语分析在20世纪西方文论、文学批评及文化研究中的地位日益突出．并最终成为当今文学、文化批评和历史解读的最重要的理论武器之一。话语分析作为一种文学批评方法的发展历程与特征。展示了其与20世纪前期西方语言形式批评的关系。自20世纪西方文学研究’出现“语言学转向”以来,语言批评经历了一个从前期对“语言形式”的关注转变到后期关注“语言文化”的发展变化过程。     

A New Approach to Social Problems

Assuming that learning is an inherently social process, this research explores interpersonal variables that affect teaching. Specifically, does the interpersonal teaching style affect student impressions of the instructor? Eighty-five undergraduates viewed one of three ten-minute videos that portrayed either an authoritarian, authoritative, or neutral style. While the content remained constant, the videos differed in many ways. Students rated the authoritative style as most positive and the authoritarian as least positive. These results are consistent with socio-instructional theories of learning and imply that style is as important as substance in teaching.     

非语言因素对跨文化商务活动的影响

21世纪是经济全球化的世纪,经济的发展和各国的交往频繁使得各国间的商务交流成了很重要的一个环节。跨文化商务沟通中,非语言因素起着举足轻重的作用,占整个交际过程的70%。本文从跨文化商务沟通和非语言交际的概念入手,通过具体案例,分析了身势语、商务礼仪、时间与空间安排等方面的非语言因素对跨文化商务活动的影响。     

汉译佛经与“附近”的衍生性演变

"附近"的词汇化完成至现代汉语的发展进程中,其语义经历了衍生性演变,词汇化完成到唐宋时期主要体现为动词形态("附近1"),而其现代汉语中形容词与名词形态("附近2")则是萌芽于唐宋,其主体地位至晚在明代就确立了。由于早期汉译佛经基本不受文言文的局限,系统地保存了从东汉以来的口语材料,在对"附近"的演变考察中,充分表明了早期汉译佛经对常用词演变研究具有的重要的无可替代的语料价值。
