引入源端信息的机器译文自动评价方法研究

机器译文自动评价是机器翻译中的一个重要任务。针对目前译文自动评价中完全忽略源语言句子信息,仅利用人工参考译文度量翻译质量的不足,该文提出了引入源语言句子信息的机器译文自动评价方法: 从机器译文与其源语言句子组成的二元组中提取描述翻译质量的质量向量,并将其与基于语境词向量的译文自动评价方法利用深度神经网络进行融合。在WMT-19译文自动评价任务数据集上的实验结果表明,该文所提出的方法能有效增强机器译文自动评价与人工评价的相关性。深入的实验分析进一步揭示了源语言句子信息在译文自动评价中发挥着重要作用。     

21世纪高校外语教师专业发展影响因素及对策

21世纪以来,我国大学外语教学在教学理念、模式、方法以及手段上已经取得了显著进步,但仍然没有从根本上完全摆脱“长时低效”的尴尬局面。其中一个重要原因就是外语教师的专业发展存在诸多负面影响因素,导致先进的外语教学理念和教学方法难以有效应用于大学英语教学实践中,严重阻碍了我国高校外语教学质量的提高。如何更好地促进高校外语教师专业发展,提高高校外语教师专业素质和教学水平已经成为我们应该重视并解决的问题。     

跨性别交际女性语言特点与身份认同——以《绝望主妇》为例

从跨性别交际角度,对美国电视连续剧《绝望主妇》的台词在语言和语用两个层次上进行分析,归纳出跨性别交际中女性的语言特点,并在此基础上探讨了跨性别交际女性语言特点与其身份认同之间的相互关系。研究结果对女性在社会生活中自我实现的精神需求具有一定的借鉴价值。     

《第一次的亲密接触》变异修辞分析

蔡智恒的语言具有浓厚的变异修辞特点,而《第一次的亲密接触》更是用口语对话的形式将这种特点发挥到淋漓尽致。其变异修辞在语音层面上表现为谐音变异;词汇层面主要表现为词语分拆、抽换语素、曲解语义、语义偏离、语体变异、色彩变异、语域变异、超常组词、方言夹用、简单符号变异;语法层面上表现为超常搭配、词类活用。     

母语文化对英语教育的正迁移

在二语习得的过程中,母语会起到一定的负面影响或干扰作用。但这只是表面现象,实际上母语能够帮助学习者完成语言交际的任务。母语既是外语学习不可或缺的背景和基础,又是可以开发利用的资源。重点探讨了母语文化对外语学习的促进作用。     

从英汉思维方式差异对比谈翻译教学

思维支配语言,语言反映思维。基于此,有必要从英汉思维差异入手,透视两种不同的思维方式在英汉两种语言中的不同表现,并提出在翻译教学应培养学生重视英汉思维差异的意识,帮助其提高翻译能力。

Harmonizing architectural decisions with component view models using reusable architectural knowledge transformations and constraints

Architectural design decisions (ADDs) have been used in recent years for capturing design rationale and documenting architectural knowledge (AK). However, various architectural design views still provide the most common means for describing and communicating architectural design. The evolution of software systems requires that both ADDs and architectural design views are documented and maintained, which is a tedious and time-consuming task in the long run. Also, in lack of a systematic and automated support for bridging between ADDs and architectural design views, decisions and designs tend to become inconsistent over time. In our proposal, we introduce a reusable AK transformation language for supporting the automated transformation of reusable AK knowledge to component-and-connector models, the architectural design view used most commonly today. In addition, reusable consistency checking rules verify the consistency between decisions and designs. We evaluate our approach in an industrial case study and show that it offers high reusability, provides automation, and can, in principle, deal with large numbers of recurring decisions.     

The impact of computer‐based instruction on the development of EFL learners' writing skills

The current study investigated the application and effectiveness of computer assisted language learning (CALL) in teaching academic writing to Iranian EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learners by means of Microsoft Word Office. To this end, 44 sophomore intermediate university students majoring in English Language and Literature at an Iranian university who had enrolled in a course called Advanced Writing were randomly divided into two groups. As a pre‐test, a pen‐and‐paper writing task was given to both groups at the beginning of the semester. The control group including 24 male and female students was taught based on traditional approach while the experimental group including 20 male and female students was taught based on CALL. At the end of one semester, a pen‐and‐paper writing task was given to both groups. The results of the post‐test revealed that the students who were exposed to computer‐based instruction outperformed their counterparts in terms of using appropriate articles, tense, plural forms and spelling. Moreover, the students in the experimental group produced paragraphs of higher quality. The findings of this study confirmed the efficacy of computer‐based instruction in the development of EFL learners' writing skills.
