The present study aims to scrutinise the diagnostic effect of social media on Libyan EFL University Students Writing skills in General and day-to-day Written Communication specifically. As social media is a growing phenomenon that contributes to language change and the way we use it, the effects this language change has on EFL students is of particular interest. This research covers Facebook and Instagram, as it also employs a quantitative method with an online questionnaire as its research instrumentation to collect the data. The questionnaire was distributed online through Google forms using a closed-ended questionnaire. The findings indicated that Libyan EFL University Students believe that social media has a positive effect on their language. It was also found that writing is the most affected and improved skill when using social media for learning the English language. Results also indicated that social media helps learners acquire and practise new vocabulary and decrease spelling errors. The researchers recommended more research to assess the influence of other social media platforms on EFL learners, such as Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube. Furthermore, further research into the impact of social media on each skill independently is also advised.
本研究旨在探讨社交媒体对利比亚英语大学生写作技能的诊断作用,特别是对日常书面交流的诊断作用。由于社交媒体是一种日益增长的现象,它促进了语言的变化和我们使用它的方式,这种语言变化对英语学生的影响尤其令人感兴趣。这项研究涵盖了Facebook和Instagram,因为它也采用了定量的方法,以在线问卷作为其研究工具来收集数据。调查问卷通过谷歌表格在线分发,采用封闭式问卷。研究结果表明,利比亚英语大学的学生认为社交媒体对他们的语言有积极的影响。研究还发现,在使用社交媒体学习英语时,写作是最受影响和提高的技能。研究结果还表明,社交媒体有助于学习者学习和练习新词汇,减少拼写错误。研究人员建议进行更多的研究来评估其他社交媒体平台对英语学习者的影响,比如Twitter、LinkedIn和YouTube。此外,还建议进一步研究社交媒体对每种技能的影响。

In this article, the advantages and disadvantages of Tiyu Yingyu Cihui Shouce (The Wordbook of Sports English), a recently published corpus-based English wordbook related to sports, will be reviewed and discussed. This wordbook has some highlighting features including vocabulary and example sentences based on sports-related corpus, especially Olympic-related corpus which displays some encyclopedic information about the Olympic Games especially the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022 in both content and appendixes. To cater to mobile learning, the book integrates all the headwords into the smartphone application, which offers multiple ways to memorize vocabulary. However, this book has something that needs to be improved in the following edition, including the unclearness of icons which indicates the usage scenario, lack of the function to review previous learning, translation of some entries, etc. In general, this wordbook is a useful tool for those who want to learn words about sports in China.
本文将对最近出版的基于语料库的体育英语词汇手册《体育英语词汇大全》的优缺点进行回顾和讨论。本词汇手册有一些亮点,包括基于体育相关语料库的词汇和例句,特别是与奥林匹克相关的语料库,在内容和附录中都展示了一些关于奥运会特别是北京2022年冬奥会的百科全书式信息。为了迎合移动学习,这本书将所有的关键词整合到智能手机应用程序中,提供多种记忆词汇的方法。但是,这本书在接下来的版本中有一些需要改进的地方,包括指示使用场景的图标不清楚,缺乏回顾以前学习的功能,一些条目的翻译等。总的来说,这本词汇书对于那些想学习中国体育词汇的人来说是一个有用的工具。

Although metonymy is widespread in poetry, it has been ignored compared to the attention that has been paid to metaphor. Metonymy is not only a figure of speech, but also a cognitive means by which one conceptual entity offers mental access to another conceptual entity. In poetry, metonymy, as a linguistic device, is able to construct rich meanings and aesthetic effects and thus highlight the theme. What’s more, metonymy is able to reveal the cognitive process by which the poet perceives and thinks about the world. As for readers, their decoding of poetry is partly dependent on their mental processing of metonymy. Metonymy in classical Chinese poetry is culturally and historically situated. Thus, metonymy is a vehicle for cultural and historical information. The exploration of metonymy in classical Chinese poetry is aimed to offer a new perspective of metonymy for literary studies.
虽然转喻在诗歌中广泛存在,但与对隐喻的重视相比,它一直被忽视。转喻不仅是一种修辞格,而且是一种认知手段,通过这种手段,一个概念实体提供了通往另一个概念实体的心理通道。在诗歌中,转喻作为一种语言手段,能够构建丰富的意义和审美效果,从而突出主题。此外,转喻还能揭示诗人对世界的感知和思考的认知过程。对于读者来说,他们对诗歌的解读在一定程度上取决于他们对转喻的心理加工。转喻在中国古典诗歌中的文化和历史地位。因此,转喻是文化和历史信息的载体。对中国古典诗歌转喻的探讨,旨在为文学研究提供一个新的转喻视角。

In this paper, I investigate the linguistic landscape of businesses owned by African immigrants in Massachusetts, USA. The data was sampled from Boston and Worcester, where many Africans reside. Data was collected by taking pictures of inscriptions of the stores owned by African immigrants. The data showed contact between the indigenous languages of the immigrants and colonial languages. The inscriptions are usually a mixture of the English and local languages of the immigrants. The images portrayed the connection to Africa through the use of the word ‘African’ and the use of symbols that connect to Africa. It was again revealed that religion and African writing systems form part of the linguistic landscape of the immigrants.
在本文中,我调查了美国马萨诸塞州非洲移民拥有的企业的语言景观。数据来自波士顿和伍斯特,那里有许多非洲人居住。通过拍摄非洲移民拥有的商店的铭文来收集数据。数据显示了移民的土著语言和殖民地语言之间的联系。碑文通常是英语和移民当地语言的混合体。这些图片通过使用“非洲”这个词和与非洲有关的符号来描绘与非洲的联系。这再次表明,宗教和非洲文字系统构成了移民语言景观的一部分。

This study aims to analyze the alternation from English, viz. a foreign language, to Arabic, viz. the subjects’ first language, in interviews conducted with Arabic-English bilinguals. The subjects are twenty graduate students in the Department of English Language and literature at the University of Jordan. Based on their bilingual profiles, the subjects are identified as being coordinate, i.e. school, bilinguals. The results of the study reveal that code-alternation to Arabic is not frequently used in the interviews. The analysis further indicates that the most common form of code-alternation is codeswitching and that most of the instances of codeswitching are classified as tag switches that serve the function of marking interjections.
本研究旨在分析在对阿拉伯-英语双语者进行的访谈中,英语作为外语与阿拉伯语作为被试的第一语言之间的交替。研究对象是约旦大学英语语言文学系的20名研究生。根据受试者的双语概况,将其确定为协调型,即学校双语者。研究结果表明,在访谈中,语码转换为阿拉伯语的情况并不常见。进一步分析表明,语码交替最常见的形式是语码转换,大多数语码转换的实例都被归类为具有标记感叹词功能的标签转换。

This study explored the possible relationship between L2 cultural competence and pronunciation proficiency in seven advanced learners of English as a foreign language (EFL). Three methods were used in this study regarding the participants’ learning experience, pronunciation proficiency, and cultural competence. Their learning experience data were collected through unstructured interviews via WhatsApp (i.e., a smartphone application mainly used for text messaging). Pronunciation proficiency was tested using Brooks’ (1999) pronunciation test, which assesses the mastery of four main aspects: blending sounds, stress, intonation, and rhythm. Berry’s (1980) East Asian Acculturate Measure (EAAM) was used to measure their cultural competence level. The findings showed that the selected participants adapted integrative and assimilation acculturation strategies. The two strategies show high acculturation levels, indicating L2 cultural competence in Fenner’s (2000) classification of cultural exposure outcomes. The pronunciation test implied that the participants mastered English sound blending, stress, intonation, and rhythm. Considering that external factors other than acculturation were controlled, the study concluded that their high acculturation predicts their pronunciation proficiency.
本研究探讨了七名高级英语学习者的第二语言文化能力与发音熟练程度之间可能存在的关系。本研究采用三种方法考察被试的学习经验、发音熟练程度和文化能力。他们的学习经历数据是通过WhatsApp(即主要用于发短信的智能手机应用程序)通过非结构化访谈收集的。使用Brooks(1999)的发音测试来测试语音熟练程度,该测试评估四个主要方面的掌握程度:混合音、重音、语调和节奏。采用Berry(1980)的东亚文化适应量表(East Asian Acculturate Measure, EAAM)来衡量他们的文化能力水平。研究结果表明,被选择的参与者适应了整合和同化的文化适应策略。这两种策略显示出较高的文化适应水平,表明芬纳(2000)文化暴露结果分类中的第二语言文化能力。发音测试表明参与者掌握了英语的混音、重音、语调和节奏。考虑到文化适应以外的外部因素得到控制,本研究得出结论,高文化适应预示着他们的发音熟练程度。

With the wave of the pandemic in the recent years resulting in a sudden shift from offline learning to online learning sessions, assessments had been revised to adapt to the changes. This study was conducted with the aim of eliciting the lecturers’ and students’ perspectives on the difficulties faced by them in the implementation of online oral presentation in Malaysian English classrooms. This study employed a qualitative approach by interviewing 15 students and 6 instructors on the practice of online oral presentation assessments. The data were analysed employing thematic analysis. It was found that the challenges faced by the lecturers were in terms of providing feedback and number of students, while time management, practice arrangement, technical problems, and lack of feedback were the challenges faced by the students. This study recommends the faculty and the management to look into these issues so that both lecturers and students could optimise their time and materials for teaching and learning purposes. It is also suggested to consider the perspectives from the faculty and management for future research as they are the decision makers towards the curriculum.
由于近年来的大流行浪潮导致从线下学习突然转向在线学习,因此对评估进行了修订,以适应这些变化。本研究的目的是了解讲师和学生对马来西亚英语课堂实施在线口头陈述所面临的困难的看法。本研究采用质性方法,访谈15名学生和6名教师,探讨在线口头报告评估的实践。采用主题分析法对数据进行分析。研究发现,讲师面临的挑战是在提供反馈和学生数量方面,而学生面临的挑战是时间管理、练习安排、技术问题和缺乏反馈。本研究建议教师和管理人员研究这些问题,以便教师和学生都可以优化他们的时间和材料,以达到教学目的。我们也建议在未来的研究中考虑教师和管理层的观点,因为他们是课程的决策者。

This corpus-driven study analyzes the use of discourse markers in conversations between 14 native speakers of Jordanian Spoken Arabic (JSA). The data are collected from one Jordanian talk show, namely Caravan. This show is chosen because it is based on live conversations between a group of males and females in their twenties and thirties. The study aims at identifying the discourse markers that are used in the targeted conversations and examining the pragmatic functions that are performed by each discourse marker. The results revealed the subjects relied heavily on various multifunctional discourse markers to fulfill a wide range of pragmatic functions on the textual, interpersonal and cognitive levels of discourse.
本研究以语料库为导向,分析了14名约旦口语阿拉伯语(JSA)母语人士对话中话语标记语的使用。数据收集自一个约旦脱口秀节目,即Caravan。之所以选择这个节目,是因为它是基于一群20多岁和30多岁的男性和女性之间的现场对话。本研究旨在识别目标会话中使用的话语标记,并考察每个话语标记所发挥的语用功能。研究结果表明,被试在语篇、人际和认知层面上严重依赖各种多功能语篇标记来实现广泛的语用功能。
