简释帕默尔的汉字表意说

从帕默尔自己的论述来看他关于汉字表意问题的相关看法,可以得出结论:因为帕默尔是站在广义文字的立场上说话的,才把汉字视为"一种程式化了的、简化了的图画的系统";因为符号这一术语可以专指其形式,帕默尔才把词这个概念仅仅看成词的声音形式;帕默尔主要是从字形构造和字义的联系的角度来阐释汉字直接表示概念即汉字表意的,他也附带地论及了汉字的超时空性,从而强化了他的汉字表意说。

Teacher Evaluation Within a Community of Truth: Testing the Ideas of Parker Palmer

Parker Palmer, in The Courage to Teach (1997), proposed an alternative approach to traditional teaching evaluations, one deeply rooted in a holistic view of education which focuses on the potential for creating self-knowledge and relationships between colleagues. This article describes a project in which we studied these claims and tested the feasibility of an open-door evaluation process. Our main purpose was to determine whether Palmer's methods could help us to improve our teaching. In addition, we asked whether this holistic approach may influence summative evaluations that affect personnel decision-making and its potential for influencing the culture of teaching in higher education.     

The Palmer and Stevens “Usual and Accustomed Places” treaties in the opinions of the courts

One hundred fifty years ago, Joel Palmer, as Superintendent of Indian Affairs for the Oregon Territory, and Isaac I. Stevens, as Governor and Superintendent of Indian Affairs of the Washington Territory, negotiated a series of treaties with tribes of the Pacific Northwest. These 10 instruments have affected the gathering rights of tribes and of others in this area and throughout the United States and have generated a substantial amount of litigation. This article reports on the 512 citations to these specific documents in 354 opinions, between the years 1874 and 2005, in various jurisdictions ranging from territorial courts to the U.S. Supreme Court.
