Can ability emotional intelligence help explain intercultural effectiveness? Incremental validity and mediation effects of emotional vocabulary in predicting intercultural judgment

A review of the literature reveals that previous studies on the role of emotional intelligence (EI) in predicting intercultural effectiveness have focused solely on trait EI, i.e., self-reported emotional efficacy, and on emotion recognition, disregarding the core components of ability EI, particularly its understanding emotions branch. Considering this gap and arguing for the relevance of emotion understanding in intercultural communication, the present study examined whether emotional vocabulary (EV), a marker of the ability to understand emotions, predicts intercultural problem solving above verbal intelligence and personality, and whether it (partially) mediates their effects on the criterion. Participants were 336 university students from Serbia, assessed on EV, verbal intelligence, the Big Five, and intercultural judgment and decision making (CJDM). A hierarchical regression analysis found verbal intelligence, Openness, and Extraversion (Step 1), and EV (Step 2) to significantly predict CJDM, with EV incrementally explaining 2% of criterion variance. A path analysis yielded excellent fit indices for a model postulating EV as a partial mediator of the effects of verbal intelligence and Openness on CJDM. The study thus provides first evidence of the specific contribution of emotion understanding to solving intercultural communication problems, the implications of which for both EI and intercultural research are discussed.     

Verbal abuse during pregnancy increases frequency of newborn hearing screening referral: The Japan Environment and Children’s Study

BackgroundVerbal abuse during pregnancy has a greater impact than physical and sexual violence on the incidence of postnatal depression and maternal abuse behavior towards their children. In addition, exposure of children (aged 12 months to adolescence) to verbal abuse from their parents exerts an adverse impact to the children’s auditory function. However, the effect of verbal abuse during pregnancy on fetal auditory function has not yet been thoroughly investigated.ObjectiveThe objective of the study was to examine the relationship between intimate partner verbal abuse during pregnancy and newborn hearing screening (NHS) referral, which indicates immature or impaired auditory function.Participants and settingThe Japan Environment and Children’s Study is an ongoing nationwide population-based birth-cohort study designed to determine environmental factors during and after pregnancy that affect the development, health, or wellbeing of children. Pregnant women living in 15 areas of Japan were recruited between January 2011 and March 2014.MethodsMultiple imputation for missing data was performed, followed by multiple logistic regression using 16 confounding variables.ResultsOf 104,102 records in the dataset, 79,985 mother–infant pairs submitted complete data for questions related to verbal and physical abuse and the results of NHS. Of 79,985 pregnant women, 10,786 (13.5%) experienced verbal abuse and 978 (1.2%) experienced physical abuse. Of 79,985 newborns, 787 (0.98%) received a NHS referral. Verbal abuse was significantly associated with NHS referral (adjusted odds ratio: 1.44; 95% confidence interval: 1.05–1.98).ConclusionsVerbal abuse should be avoided during pregnancy to preserve the newborn’s auditory function.     

《老友记》中幽默言语翻译的推理与整合

幽默言语翻译是一种跨语际的阐释性运用,如果其效度越高则制笑效果就越好。关联导向下的语用推理只是理解言语的总体原则,没有演示概念映射与整合的具体过程。从情景喜剧《老友记》中幽默言语的翻泽分析人手,探索幽默言语制笑效果的具体产生过程。结果发现幽默是语境假设在概念整合过程中,经历组合、完善和更新后形成新显结构时,与新信息相互加强、矛盾或结合产生的。所以推理和整合结合起来对幽默言语的翻译具有更强的解释力。     

修辞学视阈下讯问高校内部盗窃案嫌疑大学生的言语策略

高校内部盗窃案屡有发生,大学生盗窃具有较高的智能性和反侦查性,给侦破设置了重重障碍。对嫌疑大学生进行的讯问是一个完整的言语交际过程,与公安司法机关对犯罪嫌疑人进行的讯问有显著不同。讯问人可以巧用适宜的言语策略对嫌疑人进行审讯,以"挽救和教育"为宗旨,对嫌疑人倾注同情心,以柔克刚,进行道德感化和正义感召,能从根本上唤醒作案人的道德良知而对作案事实供认不讳。     

交际教学法在英语口语教学中的应用

交际教学法是以语言的功能项目为纲,着力培养学习者语言交际能力的一种外语教学方法体系。目前,交际教学法把交际能力的培养作为外语教学的主要目标,针对只具有较低专业水平的学习者,对语言结构的准确程度不做严格要求,强调语言的理解能力,表达能力和相互沟通思想的能力。     

Pragmatic Analysis of Well and its Reflection the Discourse Marker in Desperate Housewife

This paper focuses on the pragmatic functions of the discourse marker WELL in verbal communication. After the analysis of the lines in Desperate Housewife it is found WELL can act respectively as a mitigator of face-threatening acts, insufficiency marker as well as the discourse unit. Such a study helps us to rethink about the functions of the small words in interaction, which are of crucial importance to reveal the dynamic process of verbal communication.     

动词性短语与动词的功能比较

一般的语法文献中都认为动词性短语与动词的语法功能是相当的。本文详细考察了两者在不同句法位置上的功能表现,认为在谓语和述语位置上两者的功能基本相同,在主语和宾语位置上两者有较大的差异,在状语、定语和补语的位置上存在一定的差异。     

Increases in the verbal and fluid cognitive abilities of disadvantaged children attending preschool in the Netherlands

The current longitudinal study examined the development of general cognitive abilities of 4–6-year-old children of low-income, ethnic-minority families in preschool over two and a half years by determining the changes in general, and in verbal and fluid cognitive abilities, relative to age norms, using an intelligence test. The results revealed significant increases over time, relative to age norms, in full scale and in both verbal and fluid intelligence test scores of disadvantaged children, with medium effect sizes. These gains in measured intelligence were moderated by children's home language and age. Children who gained most also profited most from their increased abilities with respect to emergent school skills. Gains in verbal intelligence predicted emergent school vocabulary, but gains in fluid intelligence did not. Overall, gains in fluid intelligence predicted emergent math skills, and gains in verbal intelligence predicted emergent math skills only among older children.     

语境与言语交际

语言的运用离不开语境,语境对交际中话语的理解起着关键的作用。本文首先探讨了国内外语言学界对语境概念的界定和语境研究的情况;接着通过举例论述了语境在言语交际中的作用以及语境对言语交际的制约。
