Poetry I: Teaching verse with CAI

The teaching of literature through CAI raises problems of both a linguistic and instructional nature; student involvement and creativity in studying literature, and especially poetry, is difficult to build into a computer-based lesson. We have confronted these difficulties in the lessonPoetry I, which introduces undergraduates to basic concepts of poetic verse in a design using screen display, speech synthesis, and verse processing to maximize interactivity and student involvement.The lesson contains instructional modules which include the student's composition of a limerick. Computational processing of the limerick's text enables the program to offer guidance as the student composes and revises the verse and gains first-hand experience with metrical language. The significant problems inherent in processing verse are addressed by adapting Digital Equipment Corporation's DECTalk speech synthesizer as an engine converting natural language verse text into accessible strings of phonemic symbols. Although the verse processor cannot scan verse, it can interpret DECTalk's symbols reliably enough to successfully stimulate students' thinking about their verse compositions.Preliminary responses to the program have been favorable and demonstrate its effectiveness in involving students more deeply in learning about poetic verse. This suggests that the techniques of verse processing prototyped inPoetry I might be usefully extended to other types of verse and levels of study.W.

刘勰与曹操诗学观念之比较

《文心雕龙》中的《明诗》篇,主要论述诗歌的历史沿革,但其中些许微言大义,在一定程度上揭示了诗歌创作的基本特质。《文心雕龙》广泛涉及各种问题,结构严谨,论述周详,有很强的系统性和完整性。但其在《明诗》论述四言诗时对魏晋时期的大诗人曹操之字未提。夲论文试从"通变"和"新变"等方面论述,意在探讨刘勰偏见之缘由。

地域美学与乡土记忆——文化地理学视阈中的河南当代诗歌

从文化地理学维度而言,河南独特的地域风貌形成了独特的文化土壤,进而成就了当代诗歌独特审美之维和美学特质:水性基因增加了诗歌的灵性和诗人的忧患意识;悠久的农耕文化传统孕育了乡土情结;季节更迭引起的物候变化则触发了生命意识。     

兴于诗立于礼成于乐--孔子的诗教礼教乐教思想及其当代意义

“兴于诗，立于礼，成于乐”是孔子教育思想的总纲领。诗教激励人的志向，启发人的情感。但诗教所兴起的情感必须加以理性的约束。礼教培养人遵守行为规范的理性精神。然而克制情感必然产生消极情绪，更严重的后果是，表面上以礼作文饰，暗地里追求欲望的满足。乐教可以救礼教之敝：在更高的层次上回到情感品质上去，达到情感与理性的和谐统一，塑造一个理性的情感本体。
