Abstract Language portraits are useful instruments to elicit speakers’ reflections on the languages in their repertoires. In this study, we implement a “portrait-corpus approach” (Peters and Coetzee-Van Rooy 2020) to investigate the conceptualisations of the languages Afrikaans and English in 105 language portraits. In this approach, we use participants’ reflections about their placement of the two languages on a human silhouette as a linguistic corpus. Relying on quantitative and qualitative analyses using WordSmith, Statistica and Atlas.ti, our study shows that Afrikaans is mainly conceptualised as a language that is located in more peripheral areas of the body (for example, the hands and feet) and, hence, is perceived as less important in participants’ repertoires. The central location of English in the head reveals its status as an important language in the participants’ multilingual repertoires. We argue that these conceptualisations of Afrikaans and English provide additional insight into the attitudes towards these languages in South Africa.
摘要语言画像是一种有用的工具,可以引起说话者对其语言的反思。在本研究中,我们实施了“肖像语料库方法”(Peters and Coetzee-Van Rooy 2020)来调查105幅语言肖像中南非荷兰语和英语的概念化。在这种方法中,我们使用参与者关于他们在人体轮廓上放置两种语言的反思作为语言语料库。依靠定量和定性分析使用WordSmith, Statistica和Atlas。然而,我们的研究表明,南非荷兰语主要被概念化为一种位于身体更外围区域的语言(例如,手和脚),因此,在参与者的技能中被认为不太重要。英语在大脑中的中心位置揭示了它在参与者的多语言库中作为重要语言的地位。我们认为,这些对南非荷兰语和英语的概念化提供了对南非人对这些语言的态度的额外见解。

Abstract The objective of this article is to consider the Afrikaans prepositions met (with) and van (of) in relation to emotional causality from a cognitive linguistics perspective. The inquiry opens with the question of how a cognitive linguistics analysis that proceeds from reference points can capture the patterned use of the Afrikaans preposition met and van in relation to other aspects of proximity relationships, specifically the causal experience of emotion and companionship. Although met can manifest a precise merged point in time and space, for concomitant causation concerning responses to emotions in Afrikaans, a construction such as bewe van vrees/angs (tremble with fear/anxiety) employs the preposition van, as would be the case in other causal constructions of the same form, such as bewe van die koue (tremble with cold), and so emphasises intersections between companionship, containment, causality, circumstances, and possession.
摘要本文的目的是从认知语言学的角度考虑南非荷兰语介词met(with)和van(of)与情感因果关系的关系。调查以一个问题开始,即从参考点进行的认知语言学分析如何捕捉南非荷兰语介词met和van在邻近关系的其他方面的模式使用,特别是情感和陪伴的因果体验。尽管met可以在时间和空间上表现出一个精确的融合点,但对于南非荷兰语中与情绪反应相关的伴随因果关系,诸如bewe van vrees/angs(因恐惧/焦虑而颤抖)这样的结构使用了介词van,就像其他相同形式的因果结构一样,例如bewe van die koue(因寒冷而颤抖),因此强调了陪伴、包容、因果关系、环境和占有之间的交叉点。

Positive Politeness in Writing-Centre Consultations with an Emphasis on Praise 写作中的积极礼貌——以表扬为中心的协商

Abstract In a writing centre, learning takes place during conversations between the writing-centre tutor and the student. This interaction is an integral part of writing-centre research and is the focus of this largely qualitative study which employs a politeness lens. There is very little research that specifically addresses praise as a positive politeness strategy. This study attempts to fill this gap by analysing video-recorded consultations to determine how tutors in a writing centre utilise the positive politeness strategy of praise. Findings indicate that while tutors exploit a range of politeness strategies, praise is used more often than any other strategy and is utilised significantly more when commenting on higher-order concerns, which is in line with the writing-centre literature. The benefits of this study include insights into how such analyses can be used to better prepare and equip writing-centre tutors for the work they do.
在写作中心,学习是在写作中心导师和学生之间的对话中进行的。这种互动是写作中心研究的一个组成部分,也是这项主要采用礼貌视角的定性研究的重点。很少有研究专门将赞美作为一种积极的礼貌策略。本研究试图通过分析咨询视频来填补这一空白,以确定写作中心的导师如何利用表扬的积极礼貌策略。研究结果表明,尽管导师们采用了一系列礼貌策略,但表扬比其他任何策略都更常用,而且在评论高阶问题时使用得更多,这与写作中心的文献一致。这项研究的好处包括如何利用这些分析来更好地准备和装备写作中心的导师。

The Factative and Perfect Aspect Markers in Degema and Kalaḅarị Degema和Kalaḅarị的分格性和完全性标记

Abstract This article discusses the factative and perfect markers in Degema and Kalaḅarị. The research is motivated by the observed similarities and differences in the properties/behaviour of these markers in both languages. The article notes that the factative and perfect markers are monosyllabic in both languages, and that the perfect marker in Kalaḅarị is opaque to vowel harmony because it is prosodically independent. With reference to morphology, it notes that whereas the Degema factative and perfect markers are clitics, their Kalaḅarị counterparts are words. On a morphosyntactic level, the article observes that unlike in Degema, the factative marker in Kalaḅarị does not occur within monomorphemic stems because it is not a clitic. It is further restricted by syllable structure. The findings of this article validate the fact that although languages may have elements with similar features, such elements may not pattern in the same way, and that differences in patterning make each human language unique.
摘要本文讨论了Degema和Kalaḅarị的因子性和完善性标志物。这项研究的动机是观察到两种语言中这些标记的性质/行为的异同。文章指出,在两种语言中,分析标记和完成标记都是单音节的,而Kalaḅarị中的完成标记由于在韵律上是独立的,因此对元音和谐不透明。在形态学方面,它指出,虽然Degema因子和完全标记是关键字,但它们的Kalaḅarị对应物是单词。在形态句法水平上,文章观察到,与Degema不同,Kalaḅarị中的因子标记不发生在单形茎中,因为它不是一个clitic。它受到音节结构的进一步限制。本文的发现证实了这样一个事实,即尽管语言可能具有具有相似特征的元素,但这些元素可能不会以相同的方式进行模式化,并且模式化的差异使每种人类语言都是独一无二的。

A Cross-Linguistic Study of BLOOD Metaphors in Afrikaans and Northern Sotho 南非荷兰语和北索托语中血液隐喻的跨语言研究

Abstract Although a considerable body of corpus-based metaphor research—with Conceptual Metaphor Theory as theoretical framework and heuristic tool—has been published internationally, South African studies in this field are lagging behind. This article aims to demonstrate how cross-linguistic metaphor research within a cognitive semantics framework can benefit from lexical and corpus-linguistic methodologies, with specific reference to two lesser-resourced languages, namely, Afrikaans and Northern Sotho. Criticism against the so-called lexical approach that characterised the early work on conceptual metaphor has led to an increase in corpus-based investigation. Corpus-based research into metaphor has many advantages, but it depends on the availability of large, annotated corpora, which is not a resource that indigenous South African languages, including Afrikaans, can rely upon. Our article demonstrates how metaphor research can benefit from both methodologies. Relying also on another conceptual tool, metonymy, we identified three conceptual metaphors, namely LIFE IS BLOOD, EMOTIONS ARE BLOOD, and INHERITANCE IS BLOOD.
摘要尽管国际上已经发表了大量以概念隐喻理论为理论框架和启发式工具的基于语料库的隐喻研究,但南非在这一领域的研究却相对滞后。本文旨在展示认知语义学框架内的跨语言隐喻研究如何受益于词汇和语料库语言学方法,并具体参考了两种资源较少的语言,即南非荷兰语和北索托语。对早期概念隐喻研究中的所谓词汇方法的批评导致了基于语料库的研究的增加。基于语料库的隐喻研究有很多优势,但它取决于大型注释语料库的可用性,而包括南非荷兰语在内的南非土著语言无法依赖语料库。我们的文章展示了隐喻研究如何从这两种方法中获益。我们还借助于另一种概念工具转喻,确定了三种概念隐喻,即生命是血液、情感是血液和遗传是血液。

“Linking the Dots”: Metaphors in the Narrative of Self-Justification by Former President Zuma “串连点”:前总统祖马自我辩护叙事中的隐喻

Abstract Former South African President Jacob Zuma recently delivered his opening statement at the Zondo Commission in order to address his implication in state capture. Instead of systematically addressing factual aspects, Zuma narrated events in a manner which set him up as strategic key in understanding the “true” reasons for South Africa's current situation. This article aims to understand the metaphors that build up the conceptual system in terms of which Zuma articulates his self-defence during this appearance, within the broader context of frames and scenarios. Two main frames unite the metaphorical expressions: the frames of warfare and journeys. In order to structure his argument, Zuma capitalises on the way in which these metaphors highlight and hide important factors, but he also manipulates overlapping elements by exploiting the grey area between the literal and metaphorical interpretation of his language.
南非前总统雅各布·祖玛最近在佐多委员会发表了开幕词,以解决他在国家抓捕中的暗示。祖马没有系统地处理事实方面的问题,而是以一种使他成为理解南非当前局势“真正”原因的战略关键的方式叙述事件。这篇文章的目的是理解隐喻,建立了概念系统的条款,祖马阐明了他的自卫在这一外观,在更广泛的框架和场景的背景下。两个主要框架将隐喻表达结合起来:战争框架和旅行框架。为了构建他的论点,祖玛利用了这些隐喻突出和隐藏重要因素的方式,但他也通过利用语言的字面和隐喻解释之间的灰色地带来操纵重叠的元素。

Abstract Building on investment theory, this study analyses the language attitudes of secondary school students in Songea, Tanzania, with a focus on identity and access to digital technology. The study involved 467 secondary school students aged 14–21 years. The data were collected through questionnaires and interviews. Less than half of the students had access to digital technology. Most of them lacked the required linguistic resources. English, a challenge to most students, and, to some extent, even Swahili, are seen as tools for future possibilities and success. Students invest in learning English and want to go abroad. Lack of resources notwithstanding, students’ decisions to invest in learning a particular language is mostly influenced by imagined possibilities. Structural inequalities and socioeconomic differences impact both language skills and the use of digital tools. Consequently, digital resources using mainly English and difficult Swahili terminology become an exclusion mechanism for many Tanzanian secondary school students.
摘要基于投资理论,本研究分析了坦桑尼亚Songea中学生的语言态度,重点关注身份和数字技术的获取。这项研究涉及467名年龄在14-21岁之间的中学生。数据是通过问卷调查和访谈收集的。只有不到一半的学生能够接触到数字技术。他们中的大多数人缺乏所需的语言资源。英语是对大多数学生的挑战,在某种程度上,甚至是斯瓦希里语,都被视为未来可能性和成功的工具。学生们投资学习英语,并想出国。尽管缺乏资源,但学生投资学习特定语言的决定主要受想象中的可能性的影响。结构性不平等和社会经济差异影响语言技能和数字工具的使用。因此,主要使用英语和难以理解的斯瓦希里语术语的数字资源成为许多坦桑尼亚中学生的排斥机制。

Abstract This study sets out to investigate the use of articles, specifically the development of part/whole and general/specific article distinctions in Afrikaans- and English-speaking children. Previous studies comparing the development of these distinctions yielded conflicting results. In order to address this gap in the literature, a large-scale study was conducted on two languages. Two research questions were posed: (a) Does development in the article system take place after age four in terms of part/whole and general/specific distinctions?, and Specifically, is there a difference in children's production of part/whole and general/specific articles? An article production task was performed with 1012 Afrikaans- and 413 South African English-speaking four- to nine-year-olds. Results indicate that even the nine-year-olds had not mastered all items, and that items involving a part/whole distinction were more difficult, across age groups, than those involving a general/specific distinction.
本研究旨在调查冠词的使用,特别是南非荷兰语和英语儿童的部分/整体和一般/特定冠词区别的发展。之前的研究比较了这些差异的发展,得出了相互矛盾的结果。为了填补这一文献空白,我们对两种语言进行了大规模的研究。提出了两个研究问题:(a)文章系统的发展是否发生在四岁以后的部分/整体和一般/具体区分方面?,具体来说,儿童制作的部分/整体和一般/特定物品有什么区别?研究人员对1012名说南非荷兰语的4至9岁儿童和413名说南非英语的4至9岁儿童进行了一项文章制作任务。结果表明,即使是9岁的孩子也没有掌握所有的题目,而且涉及部分/整体区分的题目比涉及一般/具体区分的题目更难。

Abstract This article examines the relatively understudied question of how cognition and emotion (as induced by language) interact in assessment situations in higher education contexts. It does so against the backdrop of different outcomes for students with varying forms of linguistic cultural capital in South African higher education. Applying phenomenology as methodology, we unpack the ways in which students at the University of the Western Cape experience both monolingual and multilingual assessment from the standpoint of the cognition– emotion interface. The findings show that while monolingual assessment created affective barriers to cognition, a far more enabling environment was created by the provision of alternative multilingual linguistic arrangements. The article reflects on the implications of the analysis both for levelling the playing field in a context where language is a major source of inequality and for scholarship on language in assessment.
摘要本文探讨了一个研究相对不足的问题,即认知和情绪(由语言引起)在高等教育背景下的评估情境中是如何相互作用的。它是在南非高等教育中具有不同形式语言文化资本的学生获得不同结果的背景下这样做的。将现象学作为方法论,我们从认知-情感界面的角度,揭示了西开普大学学生体验单语和多语评估的方式。研究结果表明,虽然单语评估造成了认知的情感障碍,但通过提供替代的多语言语言安排,创造了一个更有利的环境。这篇文章反思了该分析对在语言是不平等的主要来源的背景下创造公平竞争环境以及对评估中的语言学术的影响。
