Understanding media mentalities and logics: institutional and journalistic practices,and the reporting of teachers’ work

ABSTRACT

This paper explores the ‘media mentalities’ about teachers and their work in the Australian print media. The notion of media mentalities draws on the theoretical concepts of discourse, mentalities, and mediatisation. This refers to the constructed realities and forms of thought in media coverage that circulate particular accounts. These are linked to institutional and journalistic practices in media that are governed by media logics. Drawing on newspaper text and interviews with journalists, the following practices are addressed: agendisation and accountabilisation which are both institutional practices; and the journalistic practices of factualisation, emphasisation, and sensationalisation – all of which operate globally, to some degree, across and within media institutions and media practitioners, and produce the news about teacher's work within the framework of these practices.     

听力语篇的多维解读——兼谈主述位结构在听之中的作用

基于语篇的教学思想倡导“语言即语篇”,把语言当作语篇来进行教学,这就要求在教与学中建立语篇概念。语篇作为多功能的构建体具有多重维度,即语言、社会和认知维度。听力语篇多维解读可体现在听之前、听之中、听之后的教学过程中,其中主述位结构在听之中语篇教学的整体理解中有着重要作用。     

话语标记的功能

Discourse markers are pervasive in conversation, generally used to facilitate human communication.With respect to different contextual effects that discourse markers have in utterance interpretation, they may function subjectively, interactionally or textually.     

Supporting English-medium pedagogy through an online corpus of science and engineering lectures

As English-medium instruction (EMI) spreads around the world, university teachers and students who are non-native speakers of English (NNS) need to put much effort into the delivery or reception of content. Construction of scientific meaning in the process of learning is already complex when instruction is delivered in the first language of the teachers and students, and may become even more challenging in a second language, because science education depends greatly on language. In order to identify important pedagogical functions that teachers use to deliver content and to present different ways to realise each function, a corpus of lectures related to science and engineering courses was created and analysed. NNS teachers and students in science and engineering involved in EMI higher education can obtain insights for delivering and listening to lectures from the Online Corpus of Academic Lectures (OnCAL).     

网络聊天室中的"中-英"语码转换现象研究

网络会话中所使用的语言是一种特殊的语言变体,和我们在日常面对面交际中使用的语言存在着一定的差距。"中英"语码转换现象是网络会话语言中一种独特的语言现象。本文从Jef Verschueren的语用顺应理论的角度对网络聊天室中存在的"中英"语码转换现象进行探讨,阐述其发生的原因、社会语用功能及其与发生在面对面交际中的语码转换现象的语言特性的不同。     

当代中国书法现代性的艺术表达机制

当代中国书法艺术现代性的艺术表达机制主要体现在：艺术话语、审美意象和艺术意象呈现出一种多重叠合与共振的特征;注重在数量众多的传统民间书法遗迹中寻觅某种可能的“现在性”,把其中的蓬勃生命力的艺术话语和自然真率的审美意象,转换成为作品的现代性因素;通过把自己的对象加以审美变形,来寻找解决矛盾与冲突的方式和途径。中国书法的现代性生产关系既规定审美意义的价值取向和尺度,又是体现为把主体的内在要求和来自现实生活的要求(新的价值指向)等因素统一起来的框架。对新时期中国书法现代性的艺术表达机制的理论分析和探讨,无疑将有助于我们对中国书法艺术在21世纪的发展有一个较为清晰的认识思路。     

学术语篇中可能性情态与模糊限定语的接面分析

可能性情态和模糊限定语语义上具有相容性,以系统功能语言学关于情态的理论为基础,探讨可能性情态和模糊限定语在学术语篇中的使用。研究结果显示这类用语可以使学术作者在审慎地呈现知识的同时,又能成功地构建学术语篇的人际框架,实现作者和读者之间的互动,体现了功能语法所主张的语言概念和人际功能,从而加深了对可能性情态和模糊限定语在语义、语用和语篇层面的理解。     

网络交际语的语域视角分析

网络语言是一种新的语言形式。本文以语域理论为框架，对网络交际语产生的情景因素分别从语场、语旨、语式三个角度进行了分析，并对网络交际语的词汇特点、句法结构、语义表达以及语用功能进行了讨论，最后对网络交际语的应用前景进行了展望。
