隐喻价值与英语教育

通过对国内外相关文献的综述和分析研究,发现隐喻具有多元价值,它们在英语教育中发挥积极作用。隐喻的反思价值有利于改进教育教学的方式方法,形成教师个性化的教育教学风格;隐喻的教学价值在于隐喻语言的阐释力和隐喻的认知功能,有助于英语文本理解和语言加工;隐喻的跨文化价值揭示了英汉语言与文化所蕴含的共性和差异,有助于跨文化理解和交流;隐喻的人文价值在于其规避了生硬冰冷的说教,彰显英语教育中独特而丰富的人文意蕴。     

韩礼德语法隐喻理论及其批判

韩礼德的语法隐喻理论不仅是其系统功能语法理论的有机组成部分,更重要的是它使我们认识到了隐喻化与人类认知的发展之间的关系。试图以历时的研究方法解构语言系统,追溯语言构建社会现实的历程,具有深刻的语言哲学意义。然而,韩礼德的语法隐喻在启发人们认知世界的同时,也留下了一些值得商榷的地方。文章简要介绍韩礼德语法隐喻理论的基本内容,并对其理论中存在的几个问题展开探讨,最后提出对语法隐喻开展深入研究的意义及建议。     

An efficient embedding tree matching algorithm based on metaphoric dependency syntax tree

To find out all dependency relationships in which metaphors probably exist between syntax constituents in a given sentence, a dependency tree matching algorithm oriented to Chinese metaphor processing is proposed based on a research of unordered tree inclusion matching. In this algorithm, the pattern library is composed of formalization dependency syntax trees that are derived from large-scale metaphor sentences. These kinds of metaphor sentences are saved in the pattern library in advance. The main process of this algorithm is up-down searching and bottom-up backtracking revising. The algorithm discovers potential metaphoric structures in Chinese sentences from metaphoric dependency pattern library. Finally, the feasibility and efficiency of the new matching algorithm are further testified by the results of a series of experiments on dependency pattern library. Hence, accurate dependency relationships can be achieved through this algorithm. Foundation item: Project(50474033) supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China     

Vibrating tectonics: gestural trajectories,energy mappings and self-conditioning design strategies

The transposition from painting to architecture from two-dimensional entity to a spatial structure, became the core idea of a project designed for the students of architecture to encourage them to examine the possibilities of abstract expression in the conceptualisation of architectural ideas and strategies. A series of tasks were created to enable them to identify full expression and physical presence of movement in an abstract painting as transferable into architecture. There were then other tasks oriented towards discovering, investigating and recording various types of spatial conditions as potentially architectural. Fundamental issues related to Jackson Pollock's philosophy of painting are now finding a new dimension in the digital domain of 3D modelling techniques, supplying them with the tool capable of not only projecting the release of pure energy in virtual space but also of recording endless sequences of free gestures in time and space. These can then be rewritten in the form of a computer program as well as being controlled on a higher level of architectural design.     

A Generalized Higher-Order Chemical Computation Model

Gamma is a programming model where computation is seen as chemical reactions between data represented as molecules floating in a chemical solution. Formally, this model is represented by the rewriting of a multiset where rewrite rules model the chemical reactions. Recently, we have proposed the γ-calculus, a higher-order extension, where the rewrite rules are first-class citizen. The work presented in this paper increases further the expressivity of the chemical model with generalized multisets: multiplicities of elements may be infinite and/or negative. Applications of these new notions are illustrated by some programming examples.     

A Field Guide to Radical Post-Modernism

Sean Griffiths, Charles Holland and Sam Jacob of FAT curate and classify the work of a diverse and international grouping of Radical Post-Modern architects. They range from the recently defunct Foreign Office Architects (FOA), known for their proclivity for pattern and ornament, to Tokyo-based Atelier Bow-Wow who are rigorous in their pursuit of the ordinary. They run the gamut of the highly figurative, as exemplified by Melbourne-based practice ARM, to the expressive austerity of Swiss architect Valerio Olgiati.

以譬说词:一种独特的宋词诠释方法

对宋词作品的意义进行分析,本是一种极富理性色彩的解释。但事实上,批评家却常常运用一种比较形象的方法,即通过某个譬喻的方法,来表达对宋词作品意义的体会。我们把这种方法,称之为“以譬说词”法。这种方法,一方面,具有形象生动的特点;另一方面,也容易产生歧解。本文将分析这一说词方法的具体现象、产生原因以及利弊得失。     

传统文化符号在产品隐喻设计中的应用

目的 探讨传统文化符号的隐喻特征及其在现代设计中的应用价值和意义,构建传统文化符号隐喻机制及隐喻设计方法。方法 从修辞学角度,研究传统文化符号的隐喻特征,探讨如何对传统文化符号特征进行抽象提炼。基于事物之间的相似性,实现从来源到目标的映射关系,实现对文化符号意义的传达。重点提出基于人类认知的隐喻设计方法理论框架,并运用案例分析法,进一步地论证应用方法的可行性。结论 传统文化符号具有深远的传承价值和意义。通过现代产品中的隐喻设计,不仅可以传达其自身隐含的价值和意义,为设计师提供创意源泉和设计思路,而且可以实现文化认同,丰富现代产品设计的语义。这为文化产品的构思与设计提供了系统清晰的研究思路,为现代产品设计提供新的设计思路和理论思考。     

隐语认知与大学英语教学中的跨文化输入

传统的语言学将隐语看成是文学中的修辞手段，但是认知语言学者认为：隐语不仅仅是语言现象，而且是非常活跃的认知的、思维的现象，与文化联系紧密大学英语教学中，通过隐语传授西方先进文化理念是跨文化输入的一个较好的途径。
