Tall Stories: The Metaphorical Nature of Everyday Talk

This article questions some popular cultural assumptions about the nature of everyday discourse. It claims that such discourse is in fact richly metaphorical and that, through the operation of metaphor, we fictionalise ourselves as we talk. Because literary writing has dominated our culture and curriculum, English teachers have not been encouraged to explore an aspect of language that is at the core of how we think and behave.     

万县案与《怒吼吧,中国!》意义溯源

<怒吼吧,中国!>一剧是20世纪20年代中期英苏之间的矛盾尖锐化的产物,反映的是苏联对以英国为核心的帝国主义联盟的担忧.由于该剧的情节和此后发生的万县案相似,剧作被国内批评家认定为是万县案的写照,并逐步强化了两者间的联系.在这一过程中,史实被人们忽略,反帝话语的影响力则显露无遗,一个秉承苏联官方政治意图的剧作最终被改造为中华民族觉醒的预言.

确证与辨证——优化中医药学术期刊的选题策划

从编辑视角看中医药学术期刊的选题策划对中医药学科发展的促进作用,进而影响中医药学术话语能力的提升。中医药学术期刊的选题策划宜从2个角度入手:一为确证角度,是一种以科学语言为基础的通识性表述,是突破中医药与其他学科进行学术沟通瓶颈的手段;二为辨证角度,是中医药增强学术自信的灵魂,是构建中医话语体系的出发点和落脚点。二者不可偏废。     

Placing Facebook

Facebook is challenging professional journalism. These challenges were evident in three incidents from 2016: the allegation that Facebook privileged progressive-leaning news on its trending feature; Facebook’s removal of the Pulitzer Prize-winning “Napalm Girl” photo from the pages of prominent users; and the proliferation of “fake news” during the US presidential election. Using theoretical concepts from the field of boundary work, this paper examines how The Guardian, The New York Times, Columbia Journalism Review and Poynter editorialized Facebook’s role in these three incidents to discursively construct the boundary between the value of professional journalism to democracy and Facebook’s ascendant role in facilitating essential democratic functions. Findings reveal that these publications attempted to define Facebook as a news organization (i.e., include it within the boundaries of journalism) so that they could then criticize the company for not following duties traditionally incumbent upon news organizations (i.e., place it outside the boundaries of journalism). This paper advances scholarship that focuses on both inward and outward conceptions of boundary work, further explores the complex challenge of defining who a journalist is in the face of rapidly changing technological norms, and advances scholarship in the field of media ethics that positions ethical analysis at the institutional level.     

浅析认知视角下的语篇连贯——从一则广告谈起

连贯是一个复杂的语言现象,它涉及到语义、语用及认知等各方面。传统语篇连贯的研究主要集中在从形式或语义角度进行考察,并认为衔接是语篇连贯最重要的语法、词汇手段,然而这只是一个显性手段。实际上,具有连贯的语篇的构建和理解都离不开人的认知能力。基于认知语言学理论,以一则广告为语料分析语篇的连贯性。     

权力话语的镜像表现——论中国"十七年"电影英雄叙事的性别话语

“十七年”电影中的性别话语作为一种文化话语是一种功能、运动和关系,其意义也在这些功能、运动和关系中产生、发展和变化,英雄叙事功能本身就构成一个复杂的话语系统。因此,“十七年”电影英雄叙事的性别话语研究就必须结合其他话语系统如意识形态、历史等,才能充分考虑背后的权力关系,即叙事运作的策略性关系。
