This paper investigates forms of presentation with inexplicit, i.e. covert or formally unexpressed, reported speakers in hard news discourse in British broadsheets. The research develops the discussion presented, for instance, in Ljung (1998), Marín-Arrese (2002a), Semino and Short (2004), Martínez-Caro (2006) and Stenvall (2008a, 2014) in three perspectives. The textual perspective concerns (potential) co-reference between an inexplicit reported speaker and external voices present explicitly in the text. The discourse perspective compares agent obfuscation in two different contexts – the context of epistemic assessment and the context of negative evaluation (Bednarek 2006a; Bednarek and Caple 2012). The research shows that the functional distinction between epistemic and negative evaluation manifests itself in the differences in lexico-grammatical choices, the type of forms of presentation, the linguistic cues that signal the presence of voice and the potentiality of blending of the internal and external voice. The genre perspective discusses the influence of generic conventions on the distribution of inexplicit voices across the generic structure of hard news (van Dijk 1988; Feez et al. 2008; Urbanová 2013a).
本文研究了在英国大报的硬新闻话语中,不明确的,即隐蔽的或正式未表达的,被报道的说话人的呈现形式。该研究从三个角度发展了Ljung (1998), Marín-Arrese (2002a), Semino and Short (2004), Martínez-Caro(2006)和Stenvall (2008a, 2014)中提出的讨论。语篇视角关注的是不明确的间接引语者与语篇中明确存在的外部声音之间的(潜在的)共同指称。话语视角比较了两种不同情境下的主体混淆——认知评价情境和消极评价情境(Bednarek 2006a;Bednarek and capple, 2012)。研究表明,认知评价与否定评价的功能差异表现在词汇语法选择、表达形式类型、提示声音存在的语言线索以及内外声音混合的可能性等方面。体裁视角探讨了一般惯例对硬新闻一般结构中不明确声音分布的影响(van Dijk 1988;Feez et al. 2008;Urbanova 2013)。

Rethinking inspirations for Mary Shelley's Frankenstein : a new look at the case of the Silesian gravediggers' scandal of 1606 重新思考玛丽·雪莱《弗兰肯斯坦》的灵感:1606年西里西亚掘墓人丑闻的新视角

The article is an attempt to re-examine two theories concerning the possible inspirations for Mary Shelley's masterpiece Frankenstein. The paper first evokes the most popular theory conceived by Radu Florescu whose endeavour to investigate the case of Frankestein's sources has been widely acclaimed. It is then juxtaposed with another theory which still has not been profoundly examined and yet seems worth analysing. It refers to the idea publicised by a Polish researcher in the 80s and 90s who implied that the title and the content of Shelley's novel could have been inspired by the events which took place in today's Polish town of Ząbkowice Śląskie. The present paper scrutinizes and discusses the story of the Silesian gravediggers' scandal which broke out in 1606 as a potential impulse which might have triggered the writing of Frankenstein.
本文试图重新审视玛丽·雪莱的代表作《弗兰肯斯坦》的两种可能的灵感来源。这篇论文首先唤起了Radu Florescu提出的最流行的理论,他对Frankestein来源的调查得到了广泛的赞誉。然后,它与另一种尚未深入研究但似乎值得分析的理论并列。它指的是一名波兰研究人员在上世纪八九十年代提出的观点,他暗示雪莱小说的标题和内容可能是受到了发生在今天波兰城镇Ząbkowice Śląskie的事件的启发。本文对1606年爆发的西里西亚掘墓人丑闻进行了详细的研究和讨论,认为这可能是引发《弗兰肯斯坦》创作的潜在动力。

J. M. Coetzee’s Foe : a narrative of dislocation through assimilation j·m·库切的《敌人》:一种通过同化而产生的错位叙事

This article rereads J. M. Coetzee's Foe (1986) and its intertextual bond with Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe (1719) in the framework of cognitive poetics to shed light on the complex issue of canonicity in terms of content and form/style in Foe. To this purpose, Marie-Laure Ryan's notions of textual actual world (TAW) and accessibility relations are used along with Barbara Dancygier's concept of narrative space construction to examine how Susan Barton's narrative (the postcolonial account) anchors/accesses the already consolidated TAW of Robinson Crusoe (the colonial text) to dislocate the colonizer's secluded, monologic text by superimposing another psyche, through cognitive blending, upon it. Susan's narrative incorporates her constant awareness of the social mind to assimilate – rather than push aside – the colonizer's narrative by driving it out of its monologic state toward a dialogic, multivocal exchange in the contemporary postcolonial world where Cruso(e)'s story becomes a part of Susan's story.
本文在认知诗学的框架下,重读库切的《敌人》(1986)及其与笛福的《鲁滨逊漂流记》(1719)的互文联系,以揭示《敌人》在内容和形式/风格方面的正规性的复杂问题。为此,玛丽-劳尔·瑞安的文本实际世界(TAW)和可及性关系的概念与芭芭拉·丹西吉尔的叙事空间构建概念一起被用来研究苏珊·巴顿的叙事(后殖民叙述)如何锚定/访问已经巩固的《鲁宾逊漂流记》(殖民文本)的TAW,通过认知混合在其上叠加另一种精神,从而使殖民者孤立的、单一的文本错位。在当代后殖民世界中,克鲁索(克鲁索)的故事成为苏珊故事的一部分,苏珊的叙事融入了她对社会心理的持续意识,通过将殖民者的叙事从单一状态推向对话、多声音的交流,而不是将其推到一边。

The Divine Cities by Robert Jackson Bennett : analysis of speculative fiction as a vehicle for changing the mind and the world 罗伯特·杰克逊·班尼特的《神圣之城》:分析投机小说作为改变思想和世界的工具

Speculative literature is an excellent vehicle for questioning the seemingly natural; faith and the shape of reality are two frequently reflected themes in such works. In The Divine Cities trilogy by Robert Jackson Bennett, the relationships among deities, known as the Divinities; people; and reality are complex and thought provoking. The fictional world hints significantly at our reality when inverting the assumingly top-down relationship between the divine and the mundane. Based on findings from the cognitive sciences and working with the concept of intersubjectivity and interaction theory, this paper explores the enormous role of intersubjective minds in constructing reality in both the fictional and the real world.
思辨文学是质疑看似自然的事物的绝佳工具;信仰和现实形态是这类作品中经常体现的两个主题。在罗伯特·杰克逊·贝内特的《神城》三部曲中,神之间的关系,被称为神;人;现实是复杂而发人深省的。虚构的世界在颠倒神圣与世俗之间自上而下的关系时,显著地暗示了我们的现实。本文以认知科学的研究成果为基础,结合主体间性和互动理论的概念,探讨了主体间性思想在虚构和现实世界中构建现实的巨大作用。

On the adjective/adverb interface: subject-related -ly 关于形容词/副词界面:主语相关的-ly
Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-01-01 DOI: 10.5817/bse2022-1-3
Sandra Jiménez-Pareja
Subject-relatedness is a term used to define subject-oriented -ly adverbs that are not liable to convey adverbial meaning and only retain the predicative function (Díaz-Negrillo 2014, Valera 2014). Previous corpus evidence of subject-relatedness has been found in colour adjectives (Valera 2014), which seems to restrict subject-relatedness to this narrow semantic class but, as colour adjectives are central members of this word-class (cf. Dixon 1977), the relevance of these subject-related adverbs may be higher than presumed. The present paper presents results of a systematic corpus search of 17,460 BNC bigrams containing verbs followed by subject-related -ly adverbs. The results show subject-relatedness beyond colour adjectives alone and in a wide range of combinations. The interpretations of the mismatch between the suffix -ly and the categorial meaning associated with this suffix or with the structures where they appear are manifold and could make an impact on the classification of adjectives and adverbs.
主语相关性是一个术语,用来定义不容易传达状语意义,只保留谓语功能的以主语为导向的副词(Díaz-Negrillo 2014, Valera 2014)。先前的语料库证据已经在颜色形容词中发现了主语相关性(Valera 2014),这似乎将主语相关性限制在这个狭窄的语义类中,但是,由于颜色形容词是这个词类的中心成员(cf. Dixon 1977),这些主语相关副词的相关性可能比假设的要高。本文介绍了一个系统的语料库搜索的结果,其中包含17,460个BNC双格,其中包含动词和与主语相关的副词。结果表明,主语相关性超出了单独的颜色形容词,并且在广泛的组合中。对后缀-ly与与该后缀相关的范畴意义或与其出现的结构不匹配的解释是多方面的,并可能对形容词和副词的分类产生影响。

News translation and national image in the time of Covid-19 新冠肺炎时代的新闻翻译与国家形象
Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-01-01 DOI: 10.5817/bse2022-1-1

The press, as a culturally structured system, contributes to the formation of audience self-images – defining one's domestic identity – and hetero images – defining the Other. Using journalistic translation and journalism studies, this contribution explores the national image provided by the Italian press in news translated into English by the Ansa news agency website during the current COVID-19 pandemic. The few studies on news translations including the English-Italian language pair studied the linguistic characteristics of translated language (i.e. universals), thus making the analysis of national image in news translation an unexplored area. The methodological framework will be based on Critical Discourse Analysis' qualitative approach as well as two essential concepts from Journalism Studies. To begin with, the concept of gatekeeping can be used to explain the various flows of information and news provided in translated articles. Second, understanding the framework of news manipulation and rewriting will be made possible by understanding the concept of frame. The goal is to disclose how the Italian national image is communicated.
新闻作为一种文化结构系统,有助于形成受众的自我形象——定义一个人的国内身份——和异性形象——定义他者。本文利用新闻翻译和新闻研究,探讨了在当前COVID-19大流行期间,意大利媒体通过安莎通讯社网站翻译成英文的新闻提供的国家形象。包括英意语对在内的少数新闻翻译研究都是研究翻译语言的语言特征(即共性),从而使新闻翻译中的国家形象分析成为一个未开发的领域。方法框架将基于批判性话语分析的定性方法以及新闻学中的两个基本概念。首先,把关的概念可以用来解释翻译文章中提供的各种信息和新闻流。其次,通过对框架概念的理解,理解新闻操纵和改写的框架将成为可能。目的是揭示意大利的国家形象是如何传播的。

E. Kostareva, T. Utkina
The present study investigates metadiscourse use in argumentative essays written by Russian students at different levels of the ESAP study of economics. Text analysis approach and formal error analysis are applied to the metadiscourse use – its type, frequency, and accuracy. The study specifies the differences in the usage of metadiscourse markers by writers representing nonprofessional and novice ESAP students of economics, which are mainly due to disciplinary practices, the interference from L1 writing conventions in the knowledge domain of economics and instructions provided by ESAP teachers. It also gives the interpretation of formal errors in the most indicative groups of metadiscourse markers. The study has important practical implications for developing EFL students' metadiscourse competence in the target language academic writing.
本研究调查了俄罗斯学生在ESAP经济学研究的不同层次上所写的议论文中的元话语使用。运用文本分析方法和形式错误分析方法分析元话语的使用类型、使用频率和准确性。本研究指出,代表非专业和经济学ESAP新生的作者在使用元话语标记方面的差异,主要是由于学科实践、经济学知识领域的母语写作习惯的干扰以及ESAP教师提供的指导。本文还对最具指示性的元话语标记的形式错误进行了解释。本研究对培养英语学生在目的语学术写作中的元语篇能力具有重要的现实意义。

Using corpus linguistics analysis techniques, this study compares salient lexical and phraseological features of the political discourse of Barrack Obama and Donald Trump to reveal the presidents' individual linguistic styles and preferred discursive themes. For this purpose, the WordSmith Tools software is used to extract frequency wordlists, keyword lists and clusters from two corpora of political speeches, and select the most frequent units for further identification of their patterns of use and function. The findings show that the speakers convey their intent to the listeners relying on their own idiolects. Differences are found in thematic concerns and in the use of those items that figure high in both corpora, building the image of Obama as a serious, objective and organized speaker, and that of Trump, as emotion-driven, subjective and fraternizing.
本研究运用语料库语言学分析技术,比较奥巴马和特朗普政治话语的显著词汇和短语特征,揭示两位总统各自的语言风格和偏好的话语主题。为此,使用WordSmith Tools软件从两个政治演讲语料库中提取频率词表、关键词表和聚类,并选择频率最高的单位,进一步识别其使用模式和功能。研究结果表明,说话者依靠自己的方言向听者传达他们的意图。在主题关注点和在两个语料库中占据重要位置的词的使用上存在差异,将奥巴马塑造成一个严肃、客观和有组织的演讲者,而将特朗普塑造成一个受情感驱动、主观和友爱的演讲者。

This study investigated the concept of politeness as perceived by Iranians in their social interactions from the perspective of politeness theory, especially politeness 1 that views politeness as judgments of other people’s behaviour. Data were collected using open-ended questionnaires and a focus group discussion. While 190 Iranians responded to the questionnaire, 6 teachers of English participated in the group discussion. Data were coded and analysed using thematic analysis. The results reveal that a taxonomy of five verbal strategies and eight non-verbal strategies, along with their sub-strategies, are used by Iranians in their social interactions. This taxonomy contributes to the discipline of politeness from the sociocultural perspectives. The study partially supports the politeness theory of Brown and Levinson (1987) as in this study new politeness strategies were discovered, while embracing multiple perspectives for the conceptualization and practice of politeness.
本研究从礼貌理论的角度考察了伊朗人在社会交往中所感知到的礼貌概念,尤其是将礼貌视为对他人行为的判断的礼貌1。数据收集采用开放式问卷调查和焦点小组讨论。190名伊朗人参与了问卷调查,6名英语老师参与了小组讨论。使用专题分析对数据进行编码和分析。结果显示,伊朗人在社交互动中使用五种语言策略和八种非语言策略,以及它们的子策略。从社会文化的角度来看,这种分类有助于礼貌的纪律。本研究部分支持Brown和Levinson(1987)的礼貌理论,因为本研究发现了新的礼貌策略,同时包含了礼貌概念和实践的多个视角。

The article discusses Anthony Trollope's representation of the city of Prague in his 1867 novel Nina Balatka, which first appeared anonymously in the Blackwood's Magazine. The novel tells the story of the eponymous protagonist, a Christian woman, who falls in love with a Jewish man. Trollope's choice of Prague as the backdrop for the story of two lovers separated by the great gulf between Christians and Jews seems particularly fitting, because the spatial division of the city by the river Moldau which separates the Christian and the Jewish parts of town reinforces the sense that the two protagonists come from different worlds. Trollope's characters exist in the realistically represented city; yet, iconic Prague locations, described in picturesque detail, are imbued with symbolic significance which underscores the liminal position of the protagonist, who is torn between her Christian faith, and her love of a Jewish man.
本文讨论了安东尼·特罗洛普在其1867年的小说《尼娜·巴拉特卡》中对布拉格市的表现,这部小说首次匿名发表在《布莱克伍德杂志》上。小说讲述了同名主人公,一个基督徒女人,爱上了一个犹太男人的故事。特罗洛普选择布拉格作为一对恋人的故事背景,这对恋人被基督徒和犹太人之间的巨大鸿沟分隔开来,这似乎特别合适,因为莫尔道河将城市的空间划分开来,将城镇的基督教部分和犹太教部分分开,强化了这两位主角来自不同世界的感觉。特罗洛普笔下的人物存在于现实再现的城市中;然而,布拉格标志性的地点,以如画般的细节描述,充满了象征意义,强调了主人公的界限地位,她在基督教信仰和她对一个犹太人的爱之间挣扎。
