从翻译失误看语篇翻译中的深层逻辑语义分析

逻辑语义关系是指由某种表层逻辑结构显现，并通过语言表达而附加出来的意义关系。原文表层逻辑结构和深层逻辑语义的不一致是造成翻译中逻辑转换失误的重要原因。因此，译者在翻译时应仔细分析原文内在的逻辑语义关系，再用符合译入语习惯的逻辑形式表达出来。     

浅谈变异修辞的解码

变异修辞拉大了辞面和辞里的距离，创造了广阔的语义空间，具有不确定性和模糊性，受话人在进行解码时，必须根据辞面运用联想才能揭示出所蕴含的深层含义。     

殷墟卜辞方位词研究

在殷墟甲骨卜辞中,已经出现了基本方位词,从造字构型角度而言可看出先民已有空间概念及把握空间方位、认识世界的能力;从构词角度上可以看出方位词在当时的语法功能及其表达形式。这两者共同体现出殷商社会时期人们从具象到抽象的思维及深厚的文化意蕴。     

Blended Literal Communication in Translation

There is a natural tension between Literal and Communication translation methods and has been going on now for two millenniums. We must be faithful to the original meaning of the source language (SL) and accurate in our translation but flexible enough to communicate naturally to the target language (TL) readers. While it may seem hopeless to truly communicate with all languages and cultures, with the growing global economy and the more interdependent we become, it is even more important that we continue to try to blend our thoughts and hearts together. So with foolish confidence and wise trepidation, this paper will wade into the age long discussion on the practice of translation and teaching, attempting to reconcile the theories of literal or semantic and free or communication translation theories.     

Emerging Attributes of Pedagogy and Curriculum for the “New World Order”

This article is a conceptual one designed to start dialogue on educational issues that are unfolding amidst the changes in other sectors of our society such as production, services, and recreation. We first present an overview of the fundamental but profound changes evidenced in our society and then discuss the nature of these changes and their impact on human ability to function effectively within such an environment. In light of the complexities such as uncertainties and dualistic/multiple perspectives and incongruities, we propose that a model for pedagogy and curriculum development should adopt critical thinking as the key attribute—because it has the potential to deliver an education system for the new world order.     

递系式的结构成分

本文讨论现代汉语的常见句式递系式的四个结构成分,分析了N1和N2在递系式中充当的语义角色及V1和V2在递系式中不同的句法作用.本文认为,N1和N2是动核V1的两个语义角色,并且它们各以对方为存在的条件;V1和V2的关系是主导与从属的关系,V1是递系式的中心语,V2是递系式的补充成分.N2与V2不在同一句法层面上,因此不存在句法结构关系,也没有直接的语义结构关系.     

新时期专用词语的语义泛化分析

新时期专用词语语义发生泛化,由单义变为多义而进入普通词语的行列,这是汉语词汇系统内部自我调节的重要表现,其特点是突破原有语义内涵,指称对象和范围扩大到专业以外。专用词语语义泛化的途径很多,其中绝大部分是通过相似引申的方式。新时期专用词语语义泛化具有集中反映社会主旋律的功能。     

The Impact of an SES-Based Model on a College's Undergraduate Admissions Outcomes

In Grutter vs. Bollinger, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the use of race as one factor, among many in admissions decisions is constitutional. It is not known, however, whether future legal opinions will continue to uphold the use of affirmative action policies. Some have argued that class-based preferences can achieve many of the same goals as in affirmative action while being more likely to withstand legal challenges. To date, no empirical studies have been conducted on the potential impact of a class-based admissions policy if implemented at an undergraduate institution. This paper reports on a study at a selective public college and compares a number of outcomes under three admissions models: the original admissions decisions, a purely academic model, and an socio-economic status (SES)-based model. The findings showed that use of the SES-based model would have led to a more academically qualified class than in the original admitted class while maintaining substantially greater student diversity that was found under the academic model. An admissions policy based on preferences for socio-economically disadvantaged applicants appears to hold promise for other colleges and universities with similar institutional and applicant characteristics. The ideas and research design reported in this paper are based on the doctoral dissertation study of the second author, Undergraduate Admissions Models Incorporating Socioeconomic Factors (Johnson, 2000).
