In this paper, we explore the potential of a corpus approach to study translated cohesion. We use key words as starting points for identifying cohesive networks in Lovecraft’s At the Mountains of Madness and discuss how these networks contribute to the construction of literary meanings in the text. We focus on the role of repetition as a key element in establishing cohesive networks between lexical items. We specifically discuss the implications of our method for the analysis of cohesion in translated texts. A comparison of Lovecraft’s original novel and a translation into Italian provides us with a nuanced understanding of the complex nature of cohesive networks. Finally, we discuss the broader issue of applying models and methods from corpus linguistics to corpus stylistic analysis.
在本文中,我们探讨了用语料库方法研究翻译衔接的潜力。本文以关键词为切入点,对洛夫克拉夫特《在疯狂之山》中的衔接网络进行了识别,并讨论了这些衔接网络如何有助于文本中文学意义的建构。我们关注的是重复在词汇项目之间建立衔接网络中的关键作用。我们具体讨论了我们的方法对翻译文本衔接分析的意义。洛夫克拉夫特的原著小说与意大利语译本的比较,让我们对衔接网络的复杂本质有了细致入微的理解。最后,我们讨论了将语料库语言学的模型和方法应用于语料库文体分析的更广泛的问题。

This study investigates the usage patterns of four near-synonymous mental predicates ( believe , guess , suppose and think ) across three Asian ESL (English as a Second Language) varieties as well as British and American Englishes. Using two multivariate techniques, multiple correspondence analysis and classification and regression tree analysis, the study shows the benefits of exploring cross-varietal variation through the lens of lexicalization patterns. The study also demonstrates that to make sense of semantic patterns it is crucial to account for extra-linguistic factors such as genre, as different ESL writers structure the meaning of believe , guess , suppose and think differently depending on their type of writing. Ultimately, in the broader context of the emancipation of ESL varieties, the results raise important questions about the developmental process of Asian Englishes and the place that semantic structure holds in this endeavor.
本研究调查了四种近同义心理谓词(believe, guess, suppose和think)在三种亚洲ESL(英语作为第二语言)以及英国和美国英语中的使用模式。本研究利用多对应分析和分类回归树分析两种多变量分析技术,揭示了通过词汇化模式来探索跨品种变异的好处。该研究还表明,为了理解语义模式,考虑文体等语言外因素是至关重要的,因为不同的ESL作者根据他们的写作类型对believe, guess, suppose和think的含义进行了不同的结构。最后,在解放非母语英语(ESL)变体的大背景下,研究结果对亚洲英语的发展过程以及语义结构在这一过程中的地位提出了重要的问题。

Multimodal simile: The “when” meme in social media discourse 多模态明喻:社交媒体话语中的“当”模因

This paper analyzes the “when” meme, a popular internet meme, which prototypically juxtaposes a when clause with an ostensibly unrelated image. Despite the initial incongruity, I contend this image prompts selective mapping between verbal and visual elements to produce a multimodal simile. First, I attempt to define and more clearly distinguish simile from metaphor. Second, I show how this multimodal simile exhibits unique viewpoint mapping by prompting audiences to subsume viewpoints that are both unfamiliar and bizarre. Third, I connect the like construction in simile with the like reported speech marker to show how both concepts are intimately related. Ultimately, the paper seeks to contribute to studies of simile by bolstering its ties with multimodality, blending, metonymy, viewpoint, and embodiment.
本文分析了网络上流行的“when”模因,它典型地将一个when从句与一个表面上不相关的图像并置。尽管最初的不协调,我认为这幅图像促使语言和视觉元素之间的选择性映射,以产生一个多模态的明喻。首先,我试图对明喻和暗喻进行定义和更清晰的区分。其次,我展示了这个多模态明喻是如何通过促使观众将不熟悉和奇怪的观点纳入其中来展示独特的观点映射的。第三,我将明喻中的相似结构与相似的间接引语标记联系起来,以表明这两个概念是如何密切相关的。最后,本文试图通过加强比喻与多模态、混合、转喻、观点和体现的联系来促进比喻的研究。

Towards a new grammar of interiority: James Ramsay’s circuitous way To the Lighthouse 走向一种新的内在语法:詹姆斯·拉姆齐通往灯塔的迂回之路

While critics commenting on To the Lighthouse usually focus on Mrs Ramsay, Lily and gender questions, this article traces the ways in which the mother-son relationship between Mrs Ramsay and James reflect the processes Christopher Bollas distinguishes as a child learns to use objects to develop his own personal idiom. These processes can be further nuanced by using Lacan’s three registers of the Real, the Imaginary and the Symbolic, which, stressing the rhythmical, iconic and verbal aspects of language respectively, each yield distinct object uses. First, James learns to deal with affects, then with emotions and finally with values, thus developing a grammar of interiority. This leads him to his final epiphany of the Lighthouse, linchpin of the three registers, which reveals his idea of self, reconciling paternal and maternal aspects of his internal objects.
评论《到灯塔去》的评论家通常关注的是拉姆齐夫人、莉莉和性别问题,而本文则追踪了拉姆齐夫人和詹姆斯母子关系的方式,反映了克里斯托弗·博拉斯区分的一个孩子学习使用物体来发展自己的个人习语的过程。这些过程可以通过使用拉康的“真实”、“想象”和“象征”的三个域来进一步细致化,这三个域分别强调语言的节奏、象征和言语方面,每一个都产生不同的对象使用。首先,詹姆斯学会了处理情感,然后是情感,最后是价值观,从而形成了一种内在的语法。这使他最终顿悟到灯塔,这是三个寄存器的关键,它揭示了他的自我观念,调和了他内心对象的父亲和母亲方面。

Travelling through the centuries: The intertextual relationship between Shakespeare in Love, Molière and Young Goethe in Love 穿越几个世纪:《莎翁情史》、《莫里哀》和《少年歌德情史》的互文关系

The paper analyses the influence of John Madden’s biopic Shakespeare in Love (GB/USA, 1998) on Moliere (FR, 2007) and Young Goethe in Love (GER, 2010) by having a closer look at the intertextual relationship between the films. For this, it considers external and internal connections, referring to intertexts for the promotion and marketing as well as the use of content-based conventions for biopics on writers, literary sources and anachronisms. The analysis reveals that, although the French and German films take Shakespeare in Love as a source of inspiration, they rewrite the approach and transform it for an individual representation of their national subjects. This double effect points to a different, alternative strategy for adapting the literary life of the canonical author.
本文分析了约翰·马登的传记片《恋爱中的莎士比亚》(GB/USA, 1998)对莫里哀(FR, 2007)和《恋爱中的少年歌德》(GER, 2010)的影响。为此,它考虑了外部和内部的联系,指的是推广和营销的互文,以及使用基于内容的惯例的传记作家,文学来源和时代错误。分析表明,尽管法国和德国电影以《莎翁情史》为灵感来源,但他们改写了方法,将其转化为各自国家主题的个人表现。这种双重效应指出了一种不同的、可选择的策略,以适应经典作者的文学生活。

Introduction: Adaptation reconsidered 简介:重新考虑适应

The 2015 Annual Conference of the Belgian Association of Anglicists in Higher Education, held at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and cosponsored by the Research Centre for Literary and Intermedial Crossings as well as the “Literature and Media Innovation” research project (BELSPO IAP7/01), was devoted to the theme of adaptation. As a traveling concept, pertaining to creative and critical repetition, adaptation provides a rewarding perspective and relevant operational logic in each of BAAHE’s subfields (English literature, theatre, cultural studies, linguistics, translation, and language teaching) allowing for theoretical and practical, methodological and interdisciplinary research, intertextual, generic, and genetic criticism. Presentations could focus on the product or the singular and repeated creative process, turning each adaptation of past sources into primary or residual material for subsequent creations in an ongoing practice. This also begs the question of the role of adaptation in the afterlife and institutionalization of art works and as constituents of cultural memory. Alternatively attention could be paid to the adaptation process’s interpretative function, from single or multiple author strategies and uncreative rewritings through the recipients’ stereoscopic or oscillating perception, to the authors’ and recipients’ shared need to mobilize their personal memory for adaptation to become a self-conscious practice. Adaptations can linger within the confines of genres, media, arts and disciplines but more often than not involve transactional, intersemiotic transcodings between them. Equally relevant research questions pertain to the evolving personal and cultural determinants of adaptations, their institutional contexts and discursive communities, depending on degrees of knowingness and appropriation, making for canons and countercanons or ideological reappropriations, covering a wide spectrum from feminist to postcolonial. These involve a politics as well as an ethics of adaptation, both receiving renewed urgency through the digital era’s ease of recombination, extending artistic creation into a generalized cultural practice both popular and professional, blurring the distinction between production and consumption.
2015年比利时高等教育英语学者协会年会在布鲁塞尔自由大学举行,由文学和媒介交叉研究中心以及“文学和媒体创新”研究项目(BELSPO IAP7/01)共同主办,致力于适应这一主题。作为一个流动的概念,与创造性和批判性重复有关,改编为BAAHE的每个子领域(英国文学、戏剧、文化研究、语言学、翻译和语言教学)提供了有益的视角和相关的操作逻辑,允许理论和实践、方法论和跨学科研究、互文、通用和遗传批评。演示可以集中在产品或单一和重复的创作过程上,将对过去资源的每一次改编转化为正在进行的实践中后续创作的主要或剩余材料。这也引出了一个问题,即适应在来世的作用,艺术作品的制度化,以及作为文化记忆的组成部分。或者,我们可以关注适应过程的解释功能,从单一或多个作者策略和通过接受者的立体或振荡感知进行的非创造性重写,到作者和接受者共同需要调动他们的个人记忆以使适应成为一种自我意识的实践。改编可以在类型、媒体、艺术和学科的范围内徘徊,但通常会涉及它们之间的交易性、交叉性转码。同样相关的研究问题涉及到不断发展的适应的个人和文化决定因素,他们的制度背景和话语社区,这取决于认识和挪用的程度,制定标准和反标准或意识形态的重新挪用,涵盖了从女权主义到后殖民主义的广泛范围。这涉及到政治和适应的伦理,两者都通过数字时代的轻松重组而获得新的紧迫性,将艺术创作扩展为流行和专业的广义文化实践,模糊了生产和消费之间的区别。

The significance of theme 主题的意义
IF 0.3 0 LANGUAGE & LINGUISTICS Pub Date : 2017-01-01 DOI: 10.1075/ETC.10.2.06DAV
Eirian C. Davies
This paper explores the area of mismatches between the grammatical semantics of definite NPs and equivalent features actually operative in common ground in a given context of utterance. It does so with a view to examining the provision for accounting for their significance in terms of a Prague School approach and in terms of Systemic Functional Linguistics; and finds problems, of different kinds, with both these approaches. The rhetorical exploitation of such mismatching demonstrated by opening a text in medias res is discussed; and a third approach, that of “significance generation”, is proposed. This approach of significance generation, which has previously been applied with respect to the meaningfulness of different sentence types, is proposed here as offering a new perspective on a confusing area of different kinds of meaningfulness in the treatment of theme. It involves a “change of gear” between features of meaning associated with the forms of language (linguistic semantics) and features operative in a context of their use. It is based on the claim that a single variable, such as ‘± given’, may have a different value according to whether it is derived from “context as is”, or from the semantics of the linguistic expression used in that context. For example, the linguistic semantics may indicate ‘+ given’, where there is nothing in context to validate this, and so the value as derived from context would be ‘− given’. By allowing for features from these two different sources to clash, this approach provides for a significance outcome, seen as a category in pragmatics which is the product of their combination, to be different from both of them: that is, here, “clash” , as opposed to either ‘+ given’ or ‘− given’. In so doing, I suggest that it provides a framework in terms of which to account for ways in which such opposition may be exploited for rhetorical effect.
本文探讨了特定np的语法语义与在特定语境中共同作用的等效特征之间的不匹配区域。它这样做的目的是根据布拉格学派的方法和系统功能语言学来检查它们的重要性;用这两种方法发现了不同种类的问题。本文讨论了在媒体中打开文本所表现出的这种不匹配的修辞利用;并提出了第三种方法“意义生成”。这种意义生成的方法,以前已经应用于不同句子类型的意义,在这里提出,为不同类型的意义在处理主位时的混乱领域提供了一个新的视角。它涉及与语言形式(语言语义)相关的意义特征与在其使用的语境中起作用的特征之间的“齿轮转换”。它基于这样一种说法,即单个变量,如“±给定”,可能根据它是来自“上下文原样”还是来自该上下文中使用的语言表达的语义而具有不同的值。例如,语言语义可能表明' + given ',而在上下文中没有任何东西可以验证这一点,因此从上下文中派生的值将是' - given '。通过允许这两种不同来源的特征发生冲突,这种方法提供了一个重要的结果,被视为语用学中的一个类别,它是它们结合的产物,与两者都不同:也就是说,这里是“冲突”,而不是“+给定”或“-给定”。在这样做的过程中,我认为它提供了一个框架,可以解释这种反对可能被利用来达到修辞效果的方式。
{"title":"The significance of theme","authors":"Eirian C. Davies","doi":"10.1075/ETC.10.2.06DAV","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1075/ETC.10.2.06DAV","url":null,"abstract":"This paper explores the area of mismatches between the grammatical semantics of definite NPs and equivalent features actually operative in common ground in a given context of utterance. It does so with a view to examining the provision for accounting for their significance in terms of a Prague School approach and in terms of Systemic Functional Linguistics; and finds problems, of different kinds, with both these approaches. The rhetorical exploitation of such mismatching demonstrated by opening a text in medias res is discussed; and a third approach, that of “significance generation”, is proposed. This approach of significance generation, which has previously been applied with respect to the meaningfulness of different sentence types, is proposed here as offering a new perspective on a confusing area of different kinds of meaningfulness in the treatment of theme. It involves a “change of gear” between features of meaning associated with the forms of language (linguistic semantics) and features operative in a context of their use. It is based on the claim that a single variable, such as ‘± given’, may have a different value according to whether it is derived from “context as is”, or from the semantics of the linguistic expression used in that context. For example, the linguistic semantics may indicate ‘+ given’, where there is nothing in context to validate this, and so the value as derived from context would be ‘− given’. By allowing for features from these two different sources to clash, this approach provides for a significance outcome, seen as a category in pragmatics which is the product of their combination, to be different from both of them: that is, here, “clash” , as opposed to either ‘+ given’ or ‘− given’. In so doing, I suggest that it provides a framework in terms of which to account for ways in which such opposition may be exploited for rhetorical effect.","PeriodicalId":42970,"journal":{"name":"English Text Construction","volume":"10 1","pages":"298-322"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1075/ETC.10.2.06DAV","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59425555","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}
