Studies of how adult Chinese speakers express disagreement at work or in business have a well-established tradition; whereas, studies on young students and university lecturers are scarcer. In general, the description of relationships with authority figures has been characterised by evidence of greater distance and a greater rituality than equivalent Western uses. The objective of this work is to verify whether, in a mutated communicative situation, students express their opposition to lecturer via email using predominantly indirect and attenuated linguistic forms—as might be expected—or whether linguistics changes are evident. For this purpose, 149 university students wrote a letter to their language lecturer in which they express their disagreement with the grade received. The results of the analysis reveal that, contrary to what was predicted, acts of direct speech are prevalent.
研究说中文的成年人如何在工作或商业中表达不同意见,这是一个由来已久的传统;而针对青年学生和大学教师的研究则较少。总的来说,对与权威人物关系的描述,其特征是有证据表明,与西方的同类用法相比,这种关系具有更大的距离和更大的仪式。这项工作的目的是验证,在一个突变的交际情况下,学生是否主要使用间接和减弱的语言形式通过电子邮件表达他们对讲师的反对-正如可能预期的那样-或者语言学变化是否明显。为此,149名大学生给他们的语言讲师写了一封信,表达了他们对收到的分数的不满。分析结果显示,与预测相反,直接言语行为很普遍。

This paper studies how Chinese riddles, esp. how to riddle by a name. Based on lexico-constructional pragmatics, a Chinese riddle is a construction, with the configuration of FACE (P), EYE and BOTTOM (Q). P and Q are to hold a tension between identity and heterogeneity, and the entire riddle is to meet the (six) felicity conditions of riddles. Old means of Chinese riddles are discussed, to seek new riddling manners like use of foreign loans, material props, and face-bottom reversions. It is hypothesised that a rhetor with humour-consciousness, in informal or weak communication, can in principle generate a riddle, for instance, by names of places, people, and things. By some pragmatic constraint or even coercion, the riddler can boost expressibility and processibility of a riddle. With a case study, liberal use of riddles in more ways, for more occasions, is suggested to elevate communicators’ humour competence and humour happiness.
本文研究了中国的谜语,特别是如何按名字谜语。基于词汇-构式语用学,汉语谜语是一个构筑物,具有FACE (P)、EYE (P)和BOTTOM (Q)三种构型。P和Q要在同一性和异质性之间保持张力,整个谜语要满足谜语的(六个)幸福条件。讨论了中国谜语的旧方法,寻求新的谜语方式,如使用外国贷款,物质道具,以及正面底部的还原。据推测,一个具有幽默意识的修辞家,在非正式或微弱的交流中,原则上可以产生一个谜语,例如,通过地点,人物和事物的名字。通过一些语用约束甚至强制,谜语人可以提高谜语的可表达性和可处理性。通过案例研究,建议在更多的场合、更多的方式自由地使用谜语,以提高交际者的幽默能力和幽默幸福感。

Research articles have begun to occupy the status of a prominent academic genre, as publishing one is a significant way to gain credibility and to establish oneself as a researcher among members of a discourse community. One way to distinguish discourse communities is to look at the linguistic features used in the generic structure of their research articles. One of these linguistic features is metadiscourse which deals with the connection between authors, texts and readers. The present study adopted Hyland’s (2005a) model of metadiscourse to compare the use of interactional markers in the moves of 40 research article introductions from Applied Linguistics and Chemistry. Findings indicated some variations in the way that disciplinary authors employed interactional devices in introduction moves. These findings can be discussed in terms of familiarizing novice writers with discipline-specific features of their research article introduction and interpersonality in establishing a link between a text and readers.
研究性文章已经开始占据一种突出的学术流派的地位,因为发表研究性文章是获得可信度和在话语社区成员中确立自己研究者地位的重要途径。区分话语群体的一种方法是观察其研究文章的一般结构中使用的语言特征。其中一个语言学特征是元话语,它处理作者、文本和读者之间的联系。本研究采用Hyland(2005a)的元话语模型,比较了应用语言学和化学40篇研究文章引言中互动标记的使用情况。研究结果表明,学科作者在介绍动作中使用互动手段的方式存在一些差异。这些发现可以从让新手作家熟悉他们研究文章引言的学科特色以及在文本和读者之间建立联系的人际关系的角度进行讨论。

The paper focuses on the institutional background of the publishing practices of Polish scholars, with special emphasis on publications in English. The University of Silesia in Katowice represents a Polish Higher Education Institution which places significant emphasis on international publications. On the basis of two data collection instruments, a report on point-winning publications (2017–2020) and a survey conducted among 197 faculty members, the author portrays the publication-related situation of the university and its most important determinants. Besides the facts pertaining to the distribution of point-winning publications among disciplines and languages, the article address such important issues as the authors’ strategies employed in the preparation of English language manuscripts, language-related issues articulated by the reviewers, and reasons for not publishing in English. A connection is made between the institutional context in which scholarly texts are composed and the strategic choices made by the authors in the process of manuscript drafting.
本文着重探讨了波兰学者出版实践的制度背景,特别是英文出版物。位于卡托维兹的西里西亚大学是波兰高等教育机构,非常重视国际出版物。基于两项数据收集工具,一份关于获奖出版物的报告(2017-2020)和一项对197名教职员工进行的调查,作者描述了该大学与出版物相关的情况及其最重要的决定因素。除了与获奖出版物在学科和语言之间的分布有关的事实外,这篇文章还谈到了一些重要问题,如作者在编写英语手稿时使用的策略、审稿人阐述的语言相关问题以及不以英语出版的原因。在撰写学术文本的制度背景和作者在手稿起草过程中做出的战略选择之间建立了联系。

Inviting individual voice to second language academic writing 邀请个人声音参与第二语言学术写作
IF 0.8 0 LANGUAGE & LINGUISTICS Pub Date : 2021-01-20 DOI: 10.1163/18773109-01301002

Our purpose in this paper is to present the findings of a study aimed at investigating how second language (L2) student-writers construct their identities as academic authors in tertiary education. We consider the restraints institutionalized text production can place on the constitution of writer identity, and call for pedagogical approaches to writing to take on board our findings to better help students in the process of finding their unique authorial voice. While the specific socio-cultural and institutional contexts within which people write limit possibilities for their self-representation, we argue that student writers should be encouraged to bring their own life histories and sense of the self to their texts. The study follows the notion of writer voice as proposed by Lehman (2018). She proposes categorising writer voice into three main types: individual, collective and depersonalized. As these three aspects of voice are predominantly cued through metadiscourse features we employed a three-dimensional analytic rubric designed by Lehman (2018) in order to identify and analyze the potential of individual voice in the facilitation and enhancement of academic writing in a second language (see Lehman, 2018).
我们在本文中的目的是介绍一项研究的结果,该研究旨在调查第二语言(L2)学生作家如何在高等教育中构建他们作为学术作者的身份。我们认为制度化的文本生产可能会对作家身份的构成产生限制,并呼吁写作的教学方法考虑我们的发现,以更好地帮助学生在寻找他们独特的作者声音的过程中。虽然人们写作的特定社会文化和制度背景限制了他们自我表达的可能性,但我们认为,应该鼓励学生作家将自己的生活史和自我意识带到他们的文本中。这项研究遵循了Lehman(2018)提出的作家声音的概念。她建议将作家的声音分为三种主要类型:个人的、集体的和非个人化的。由于语音的这三个方面主要是通过元话语特征提示的,我们采用了Lehman(2018)设计的三维分析准则,以识别和分析个人语音在促进和增强第二语言学术写作方面的潜力(见Lehman,2018)。

Analyticity and modulation 分析和调制

Acceptable analyticities, i.e. contradictions or tautologies, constitute problematic evidence for the idea that language includes a deductive system. In recent discussion, two accounts have been presented in the literature to explain the available evidence. According to one of the accounts, grammatical analyticities are accessible to the system but a pragmatic strengthening repair mechanism can apply and prevent the structures from being actually interpreted as contradictions or tautologies. The proposed data, however, leaves it open whether other versions of the meaning modulation operation are required. Novel evidence we present argues that a loosening version of the repair mechanism must be available. Our observation concerns acceptable lexical contradictions that cannot be rescued if only a strengthening version of the pragmatic strategy is available.
可接受的分析性,即矛盾或重言式,构成了语言包括演绎系统的观点的有问题的证据。在最近的讨论中,文献中提出了两种说法来解释现有的证据。根据其中一种说法,语法分析是系统可以访问的,但语用强化修复机制可以应用并防止结构被实际解释为矛盾或重言。然而,所提出的数据对是否需要其他版本的意义调制操作持开放态度。我们提出的新证据表明,必须有一种松动的修复机制。我们的观察关注的是可接受的词汇矛盾,如果只有强化版的语用策略可用,这些矛盾就无法挽救。

An implicature account of metaphorical perspective 隐喻视角的含义阐释

This paper develops an account of metaphor and its cognitive value. The motivation for this account lies in two considerations: 1) there is a problem, the proposition problem, that plagues many accounts of metaphor and its cognitive value, and 2) a recent criticism of Grice’s program and its semantic-pragmatic distinction by Lepore and Stone (2015) is grounded on the assumption that its account of metaphor is saddled with the proposition problem. Thus there is a need for an account of metaphor that explains its cognitive value without raising the proposition problem, and if successful, we also remove a criticism of Grice’s program. The proposed account of metaphor is one according to which, in uttering a metaphor, the speaker conversationally implicates a metaphorical perspective. This account of metaphor’s cognitive value is grounded in an understanding of metaphorical perspective as itself non-propositional.
本文对隐喻及其认知价值进行了阐述。这一观点的动机在于两个方面:1)有一个问题,命题问题,困扰着许多关于隐喻及其认知价值的观点;2)Lepore和Stone(2015)最近对Grice的程序及其语义-语用区分的批评,是基于这样一种假设,即其对隐喻的描述背负着命题问题。因此,有必要对隐喻进行解释,在不引发命题问题的情况下解释其认知价值,如果成功,我们也可以消除对Grice程序的批评。所提出的对隐喻的解释是,在使用隐喻时,说话者在对话中暗示了隐喻的视角。这种对隐喻认知价值的解释是基于对隐喻视角本身非命题性的理解。

This paper presents an investigation into the impact of teaching pragmatic competence to translation students who translate from English (L2) to Persian (L1). For the experiment, the participants were requested to identify implicit discourse markers in a source text and to transfer them into the target text. This investigation used Think Aloud Protocols (TAP) to monitor students’ inferential translation processes. The results of this study pinpointed the challenging role of pragmatic competence for translation students. Translation performance in an experimental group of participants exposed to a period of pragmatic classroom instruction was compared to that of a control group which did not receive this training. Finally, the data analysis indicated that pragmatic teaching improved the translation students’ pragmatic competence in the experimental group through identifying both implicit and explicit discourse markers in the source text. This was clearly lacking in a number of students’ translations in the control group.
本文旨在探讨语用能力教学对英语(第二语言)译为波斯语(第一语言)的翻译学生的影响。在实验中,参与者被要求识别源文本中的隐含话语标记,并将其转化为目标文本。本研究采用出声思考协议(TAP)来监测学生的推理翻译过程。本研究的结果明确了语用能力对翻译学生的挑战作用。实验组的参与者接受了一段时间的语用课堂教学,并将其翻译表现与未接受这种培训的对照组进行了比较。最后,数据分析表明,语用教学通过识别源语中的隐性语篇标记和显性语篇标记,提高了实验组翻译学生的语用能力。这在对照组的一些学生的翻译中显然是缺乏的。

This was clearly lacking in a number of students’ translations in the control group.","PeriodicalId":43536,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Pragmatics","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1163/18773109-01202006","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42660882","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}

The present paper explores the current nexus between Cognitive Linguistics (CL) and Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), focusing on theories of conceptual positioning, distancing and perspective-taking in discourse space. It assesses the strengths, limitations, and prospects for further operationalization of positioning as a valid methodology in CDA, and political discourse studies in particular. In the first part, I review the cognitive models of positioning that have made the most significant contribution to CDA. Discussing Deictic Space Theory and Text World Theory, among others, I argue that these models reveal further theoretical potential which has not been exploited yet. While they offer a comprehensive and plausible account of how representations and ideologically charged worldviews are established, they fail to deliver a pragmatic explanation of how addressees are made to establish a worldview, in the service of speaker’s goals. The second part of the paper outlines Proximization Theory, a discursive model of crisis and conflict construction in political discourse. I argue that, unlike the other models, it fully captures the complex geopolitical and ideological positioning in political discourse space, providing a viable handle on the dynamics of conflict between the opposing ideologies of the space.
本文探讨了当前认知语言学(CL)与批评语篇分析(CDA)之间的关系,重点研究了语篇空间中的概念定位、距离和视角选择理论。它评估了定位作为CDA中一种有效方法的优势、局限性和进一步操作的前景,尤其是政治话语研究。在第一部分中,我回顾了对CDA做出最重要贡献的定位认知模型。在讨论指示空间理论和文本世界理论等问题时,我认为这些模型揭示了尚未被开发的进一步的理论潜力。虽然它们对表征和意识形态世界观是如何建立的提供了全面而合理的描述,但它们未能对收件人如何建立世界观以服务于演讲者的目标做出务实的解释。文章的第二部分概述了政治话语中危机与冲突建构的话语模式——代理理论。我认为,与其他模型不同,它充分捕捉了政治话语空间中复杂的地缘政治和意识形态定位,为该空间对立意识形态之间的冲突动态提供了一个可行的处理方式。
