从人类学视野看明代封贡体系:关于礼物的分析

礼物的交换在明代封贡体系中所具有的作用是不言而喻的，对它的探讨为我们提供了观察这一体系的新视角。文章通过对明代封贡体系中明王朝与藩属国之间的礼物流动、交换的分析发现，这里的礼物同时兼具象征性(表达性)、工具性的意义；且这两种意义相对于封贡双方来说具有非对等性，这是由双方不同的策略与目标所决定的。从精神层面上讲．礼物交换过程体现着儒家文化精神和内涵。     

Matters of Form: Questions of Race,Identity, Design,and the U.S. Census

This case examines how functionalist approaches manifest culturally based on users’ contexts. The authors conduct a critical visual semiotic analysis of the race and Hispanic origin questions on the 2010 U.S. Census form, demonstrating how incongruities in design potentially harm people. This demonstrates a need for adding critical analyses to design and research and it refocuses the Society for Technical Communication’s value of promoting the public good on to design and documentation in order to fight injustice.     

跨文化交际在英语词汇教学中的应用

语言是文化的载体,文化影响着语言的掌握和应用,在学习语言过程中,了解文化背景势必成为刻不容缓的重中之重。然而广大学生对此缺乏应有的重视,只是为了学语言而学语言,导致一系列的错误产生,进而影响交际,导致交际失败。因此,在英语教学中,应注重文化的学习与掌握,而词汇作为语言的基石,是文化的最小载体,我们必须以此为基础,将文化掌握与语言的学习完美地结合在一起。     

对“意义”的多维透视

“意义”是人文社会科学中的基本范畴之一。从语言学、哲学、逻辑学等多个角度对其进行研究,可以全方位地挖掘“意义”的内涵。同时,从“意义”的分类及特征着眼,也有助于对“意义”内涵的把握和理解。     

大学英语教学中的文化导入

大学英语教学中化导入，旨在培养和提高学生跨化交际的能力，培养学生增道地掌握和运用英语这一国际交流工具的能力，外语教师必须寓化教学于语言教学之中，提高学生对西方化的敏感力和洞察力，以此避免学生在交际过程中套用本族化进行交流的现象。     

现代汉诗语言三说

本文就现代汉诗语言冗长芜杂的现象与后现代派提出的"剔除修辞"、"甩掉隐喻"等观点,按诗学本质规律表达个人的意见:用现代汉语写诗亦须遵守"诗意的言说"之规则;隐喻是使诗表现生动的"意象化譬比";运用"减法"于"句思维","损之而益"是艺术的辩证法.     

结构主义学习理论及其在教与学中的应用

人类进入21世纪以来,随着信息技术的飞速发展,结构主义学习理论对人类教育活动的影响显得越来越大,基于结构主义的教学模式更加符合我们对未来要培养“学会学习”、“学会创造”、“学会合作”等教育目标的要求,作者从结构主义学习理论产生入手．对结构主义学习理论及其在教与学中的应用进行了阐述和讨论。

语用失误与文化教学

英汉词汇、言语行为方式、礼貌差异和英汉价值观的冲突是跨文化交际中语用失误的主要原因,而具备相应的文化知识是克服语用失误的关键.因此,教师应合理、有效地教授知识文化和交际文化,使学生掌握所学语言的正确语用规则,培养学生的跨文化交际能力.     

Research-based teacher education? Exploring the meaning potentials of Swedish teacher education

In this article, we explore the meaning potentials of teacher education in terms of the significance of a research-based approach and the different pedagogic identities that such an approach implies. The study’s aim is to examine the important factors for education to be considered research-based and to identify and analyse the research base of teacher education in Sweden. The results from the analysis of a large number of course documents and from a survey administered to teachers and students in four teacher education programmes indicate that the emerging potential meaning is that teacher education is generally a strongly framed professional education with a relatively weak and adapted research base. The analysis of the classification and framing of disciplinary content and pedagogy in the Swedish teacher education curriculum points at different pedagogic identities emerging from the different meaning potentials that are made available to the students. We argue that a thorough understanding of research-based teacher education needs to be grounded in both course content and its research base as well as other possible pedagogical aspects of research-based education; the education as a whole must be included in the concept of research-based education.
