Resistance to postcolonial oppressive ideologies assumes significance within Chinua Achebe’s Anthills of the Savannah (1987), portraying predicaments of a post-independence fictional African state of Kangan. Drawing on the Deleuze-Guattarian “ontology of becoming”, “rhizome”, “nomad thought”, distinction of “striated” and “smooth” spaces, their account of the “State Apparatus” and the “war machine”, and “assemblage”, the study demonstrates how Achebe entertains possibilities of convergence with their philosophy. It displays how the Kangan people, while engaging in “ontology of becoming”, strive to deterritorialise themselves from Sam’s State that attempts to define their subjectivity. Concurrently, Sam’s State implements varieties of schemes to re-subjugate its subjects under its territorial authority. The study concludes how the war machine’s menacing force eventually destabilises the whole “State Apparatus”.
奇努阿-阿契贝(Chinua Achebe)的《大草原上的蚁丘》(Anthills of the Savannah,1987 年)描绘了非洲独立后虚构的康干国的困境,其中对后殖民压迫意识形态的反抗具有重要意义。本研究借鉴了德勒兹-瓜塔利的 "成为本体论"、"根茎"、"游牧思想"、"条纹 "和 "平滑 "空间的区别、他们对 "国家机器 "和 "战争机器 "以及 "组合 "的论述,展示了阿契贝如何与他们的哲学相融合。它展示了康干人如何在从事 "成为的本体论 "的同时,努力将自己从试图界定其主体性的萨姆国家中分离出来。与此同时,山姆国实施各种计划,将其臣民重新征服在其领土权威之下。本研究的结论是,战争机器来势汹汹的力量最终如何破坏了整个 "国家机器 "的稳定。

The paper seeks to provide a cognitive-linguistic re-interpretation of the centuries-old notion of whole-text structure. The investigation presented here draws on 317 data sources selected through a scoping literature review. The paper demonstrates how text structure, narrative structure, rhetorical structure, etc. all represent metonymically one and the same multi-faceted underlying concept. That concept is argued to result from the amalgamated operation of conceptual metaphor and conceptual metonymy combined with the simultaneous and dynamic operation of (what are known in gestalt psychology as) profiling shifts. The paper further demonstrates how such shifts in profiling operate on text-worlds and discourse-worlds to bring about perceptions of a text’s ‘progression’ and of whole-text structure.
本文试图从认知语言学角度重新诠释已有数百年历史的全文结构概念。本文所做的调查利用了通过范围性文献综述选取的 317 个数据源。本文论证了文本结构、叙事结构、修辞结构等如何在隐喻上代表了同一个多层面的基本概念。论文认为,这一概念是概念隐喻和概念隐喻与(格式塔心理学所称的)剖析转变的同时和动态运作相结合的结果。本文进一步论证了这种特征分析的转变是如何在文本世界和话语世界中产生对文本 "进展 "和全文结构的感知的。

C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien are two key figures in the Modern Alliterative Revival, and each sought to revive Old English poetics with close to absolute metrical fidelity. While scholarship on Tolkien’s alliterative verse has seen an uptick in recent years, though, Lewis remains the odd poet out. Nominally, this article attempts to assign a composition date for Lewis’s poem “Sweet Desire.” My dating to early 1930 associates this text with Lewis’s famous conversion to theism. More broadly, this article tracks one revivalist’s painstaking adaptation of the alliterative meter into Modern English, outlining the technical challenges faced by Lewis and which other contemporary revivalists must overcome as well.
C.S.Lewis and J. R.R.托尔金是 "现代拟声词复兴 "的两位关键人物,他们都试图以近乎绝对忠实的格律复兴古英语诗学。近年来,托尔金的拟声诗歌学术研究有所上升,但刘易斯仍是其中的异数。名义上,本文试图为刘易斯的诗作《甜蜜的渴望》确定创作年代。我将这首诗的创作年代定为 1930 年初,这与刘易斯著名的皈依有神论有关。从更广泛的意义上讲,本文追踪了一位复兴者将押韵诗改编成现代英语的艰辛历程,概述了刘易斯所面临的技术挑战,以及其他当代复兴者也必须克服的挑战。

Information security policies are particularly important when it comes to maintaining information security within an organization. As a result, creating an information security policy is an invaluable process that cannot be undermined. This study aims at investigating how these information security policies are created, specifically in banks, from a linguistic perspective. The study employed the use of corpora and analyzed ten information security policies of banks randomly collected online. The analyses were categorized under five levels of linguistic analysis which included: the mode, lexis, grammar, speech acts, and discourse. Some statistical analyses which involved clustering were also performed at the level of discourse in order to find similar patterns in the information security policies. The results show that banks use the same linguistic features when writing their information security policies. The results also reveal how these linguistic features are used to develop a comprehensive and effective information security policy.
信息安全政策对于维护组织内部的信息安全尤为重要。因此,制定信息安全政策是一个不可忽视的过程。本研究旨在从语言学的角度研究这些信息安全政策是如何制定的,特别是在银行中。本研究使用语料库,分析了从网上随机收集的十家银行的信息安全政策。分析分为五个层次的语言分析,包括:模式、词法、语法、言语行为和话语。在语篇层面还进行了一些涉及聚类的统计分析,以发现信息安全政策中的相似模式。结果表明,银行在编写信息安全政策时使用了相同的语言特点。研究结果还揭示了如何利用这些语言特点来制定全面有效的信息安全政策。

Due to prevalence of formal analysis in language education, the implications of Systemic Functional Grammar has largely been ignored by materials and methods of language education. To illustrate the inadequacies of formal analysis and make a case for functional analysis and assessment of writing samples, this study aims at exploring the use of modality in a random sample of expository essays written in an EFL context. To this end, 20 expository essays, written by undergraduate students of English language and literature, were randomly obtained from writing instructors and professors teaching in the English department of Shahrood University of Technology (SUT), Iran. Leaners’ use of modality was then analyzed in line with the framework presented by Halliday & Matthiessen (2014). Analysis revealed learners’ lack of variation in the expression of uncertainties and doubts and as such lack of mastery over modality since they tended to express their opinions as implicit and as objective as possible. There seems to be a link between this problem and the dominance of formal analysis in teaching and assessing writing; hence, the findings of this study have clear implications for teaching instruction in this context and other similar contexts, where the implications of systemic functional grammar for language education seem to be ignored.
由于形式分析在语言教育中的盛行,系统功能语法的含义在很大程度上被语言教育的材料和方法所忽视。为了说明形式分析的不足之处,并为写作样本的功能分析和评估提供依据,本研究旨在探索在英语环境下写作的说明文的随机样本中形式的使用。为此,从伊朗沙鲁德理工大学英语系的写作老师和教授那里随机获得了20篇由英语语言和文学本科生撰写的说明文。然后根据Halliday&Matthiessen(2014)提出的框架分析了学习者对情态的使用。分析显示,学习者在表达不确定性和疑虑方面缺乏变化,因此对情态缺乏掌握,因为他们倾向于尽可能含蓄和客观地表达自己的观点。这一问题似乎与形式分析在写作教学和评估中的主导地位之间存在联系;因此,本研究的发现对在这种情况下以及其他类似情况下的教学有着明确的启示,在这些情况下,系统功能语法对语言教育的启示似乎被忽视了。

Angela Kölling, M. Lieb
The coronavirus pandemic has kept us individually as well as publicly in a state of preoccupation that prohibited us from staying with the trouble of an ecologically damaged planet. The authors of this contribution are sharing their experience and reflections upon teaching, as an active intervention to this absent presence in everyday Covid-19 lives, an eco-translation course. For this we will first offer a short discussion of our scholarly backgrounds and biases. Second, we will describe our efforts in translating these biases into concrete teaching. The course that serves here as a case study was taught in a project format in the 2021 winter term 2 at the Faculty for Translation Studies, Linguistics and Cultural Studies at Mainz University. It was a five-day course which blended localisation and nature writing framed by a holistic approach to scholarship and teaching. Third, we will discuss the teaching experience in terms of the presences and absences it made apparent.
冠状病毒大流行使我们无论是个人还是公众都处于一种全神贯注的状态,使我们无法继续面对生态破坏的星球的麻烦。这篇文章的作者分享了他们对教学的经验和思考,作为对日常生活中这种缺席的积极干预,这是一个生态翻译课程。为此,我们将首先对我们的学术背景和偏见进行简短的讨论。其次,我们将描述我们将这些偏见转化为具体教学的努力。美因茨大学翻译研究、语言学和文化研究学院于2021年冬季学期以项目形式教授了这门作为案例研究的课程。这是一个为期五天的课程,在学术和教学的整体方法框架下,融合了本地化和自然写作。第三,我们将从存在和缺席的角度来讨论教学经验。

A contrastive look at Theme as point of departure in English and Spanish academic writing 主题作为英语和西班牙语学术写作出发点的对比研究

This paper offers a detailed study of Theme as point of departure in English and Spanish academic texts. A corpus of around 45,000 words is examined from different perspectives to compare the realizations, functions and interplays of the point of departure in these two languages. Examples reveal crosslinguistic contrasts in terms of (a) the preferred realizations of thematic elements, (b) the strategies to maintain participant identity and present new participants and (c) the resources used to construe texture. We will see that whereas English favours thematic non-pronominal noun groups, Spanish combines these with other realizations. Additionally, the different syntactic characteristics of each language have a reflection on different ways of signalling semantic continuity and on textual development in general. The findings presented in this paper should make a significant contribution to the existing literature on Theme, as well as on academic writing and contrastive typological research.
本文对英语和西班牙语学术文本中的主题作为出发点进行了详细的研究。从不同的角度对大约45000个单词的语料库进行了研究,以比较这两种语言中出发点的实现、功能和相互作用。例子揭示了跨语言的对比:(a)主题元素的首选实现,(b)保持参与者身份和呈现新参与者的策略,以及(c)用于构建纹理的资源。我们将看到,尽管英语倾向于主题非代词名词组,但西班牙语将这些与其他实现相结合。此外,每种语言的不同句法特征也反映了语义连续性和语篇发展的不同方式。本文的研究成果将对现有的主题文学、学术写作和对比类型学研究做出重大贡献。

Samuel D. Hunter’s 2019 play Greater Clements is named after a fictional former mining town in Northern Idaho, which straddles the space between presence and absence. The locals have decided to put an end to a dispute with the Californian second-homers that have flocked to town in recent years, by voting to unincorporate. Hunter has indicated that the play relies heavily on the “toxicity of nostalgia”, on which the present essay concentrates. This article explores nostalgia as connected to two marginalised communities in Greater Clements: the miners, now out of work due to the effects of deindustrialisation, and the town’s Japanese American residents, who are still reeling from the trauma of wartime internment.
塞缪尔·D·亨特(Samuel D.Hunter)2019年的剧作《大克莱门茨》(Greater Clements)以爱达荷州北部一个虚构的前矿业小镇命名,该小镇横跨在场与不在场之间。当地人决定结束与近年来涌入该镇的加州第二支全垒打之间的纠纷,投票支持非企业化。亨特表示,这部剧在很大程度上依赖于“怀旧的毒性”,这也是本文的重点。这篇文章探讨了与大克莱门茨两个边缘化社区有关的怀旧情绪:矿工,由于去工业化的影响而失业,以及该镇的日裔美国居民,他们仍在遭受战时拘留的创伤。

“Shadowtime”

S. Lambert
This paper explores “shadowtime”, or the co-existence of multiple temporalities, in Michelle Paver’s novel Dark Matter: A Ghost Story (2010). Dark Matter is filled with temporally strange figures that evade human vision and understanding. Central among these is the spectral presence of a gengånger, or ghost, which haunts the Arctic research station where the novel is largely set. After tracking some of the metaphorical and material dimensions of the spectral, this essay investigates “shadowtime” in the context of the novel’s various ‘archives’. It then looks at how the incorporeal or immaterial concepts of value and choice frame the novel’s ‘dark matters’. ‘Possibility’, or the question of ‘what if?’ pervades the novel’s pages, encouraging readers to imagine multiple realities simultaneously. This essay argues that, although set in a period predating wide awareness of climate change, Dark Matter’s “shadowtimes” create forms of temporal and ontological instability that resonate with the existential uncertainties of the Anthropocene.
本文探讨了米歇尔·帕维尔的小说《暗物质:鬼故事》(2010)中的“阴影时间”,即多重时间的共存。暗物质充满了时间上奇怪的人物,这些人物逃避了人类的视觉和理解。其中最核心的是一个幽灵的光谱存在,它经常出没于小说主要背景的北极研究站。在追踪了光谱的一些隐喻和物质维度后,本文在小说的各种“档案”背景下研究了“阴影时间”。然后,它着眼于非物质或非物质的价值观和选择是如何构成小说的“暗物质”的可能性”,或者“如果会怎样?”弥漫在小说的页面上,鼓励读者同时想象多种现实。这篇文章认为,尽管背景设定在对气候变化的广泛认识之前,但暗物质的“阴影时代”创造了各种形式的时间和本体论不稳定,与人类世的生存不确定性产生了共鸣。

This essay argues that, although set in a period predating wide awareness of climate change, Dark Matter’s “shadowtimes” create forms of temporal and ontological instability that resonate with the existential uncertainties of the Anthropocene.","PeriodicalId":42970,"journal":{"name":"English Text Construction","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42031072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scholarship on literature’s engagement with the climate crisis has frequently highlighted the limitations of the realist novel vis-à-vis the scale and wide-ranging ramifications of climate change. This article reads Laura Jean McKay’s The Animals in That Country (2020) as a powerful example of how the cross-fertilization of narrative and poetic forms can expand the imaginative reach of the novel. Through the plot device of a pandemic that enables human-nonhuman communication, McKay’s novel explores the fragility of nonhuman life in a world shaped by the violence of advanced capitalist societies. The poetic nature of the animals’ utterances complicates interpretation and draws attention to the complexities of human-nonhuman entanglement, echoing – and performing through literary form – the ethical position formulated by Deborah Bird Rose under the rubric of “ecological existentialism.”
关于文学与气候危机的研究经常强调现实主义小说在气候变化的规模和广泛影响方面的局限性。这篇文章将劳拉·让·麦凯的《那个国家的动物》(2020)解读为一个强有力的例子,说明叙事和诗歌形式的交叉融合如何扩大小说的想象力范围。麦凯的小说通过一场使人类与非人类交流成为可能的大流行病的情节装置,探索了在一个由先进资本主义社会的暴力塑造的世界中非人类生活的脆弱性。动物话语的诗意使解释变得复杂,并引起人们对人类与非人类纠缠的复杂性的关注,这呼应了黛博拉·伯德·罗斯在“生态存在主义”的标题下提出的伦理立场,并通过文学形式表现出来
