语料库语言学在语域研究中的应用

随着计算机和网络技术的发展，语料库语言学成为新的研究领域。本文从语域语言的研究入手，以体育语域为例，研制体育语域语料库，利用语料库进行定性和定量的分析．通过词汇统计和词频分级，探讨体育语言的特点。并提取专用词汇，制成词表，以此为基础进行更深层次的研究。而研究的成果则可以应用于语言教学、词典编撰等领域，也为机器翻译提供了一定的参考。

闽南语歌谣中“年轻人”称谓词语域研究

闽南语歌谣中“年轻人”的称谓词具有显著的代表性特征。在话语方式上表现为多样性,包括词汇多样性和词义多样性。形式与意义的不对应是闽南方言“年轻人”称谓词模糊性的直接原因,究其根源在于概念外延的不确定,因此必须结合具体语域分析才能相对确定。而在具体的语境中,闽南语歌谣中“年轻人”称谓词呈现出不同的色彩性。

中美企业社会责任报告董事长致辞的多维分析

企业社会责任报告(以下简称CSR报告)中的董事长致辞,是企业与利益相关者进行沟通的重要渠道。本研究基于自建语料库,对中美企业董事长致辞的语域特征进行多维分析。研究发现:1)与通用语篇相比,董事长致辞主要呈现较强的指称明晰性特征,而其在叙述性和显性劝说性上较弱;2)与美企相比,中企董事长致辞主要属于偏叙述及指称明晰类语篇,而其在交互性、即席信息组织精细度上相对较弱;3)中美企业董事长致辞的维度特征差异,具体表现在55项语言特征共现频率上。董事长致辞提升企业合法性的交际目的,形成了其特有的语域特征;中美两国社会文化语境(权力距离高低、长期与短期导向)与中美作者在英语语言熟练度等方面的差异,导致了中美企业董事长致辞的语域特征差异。本研究对提升我国企业对外传播质量及CSR报告语类的教学具有一定启示作用。

40 Years of Applied Linguistics: Investigating Content Areas, Research Methods, and Statistical Techniques

This review study was designed to map out the research trends through an intensive text analysis of 1,366 research articles （RAs） of applied linguistics during the past 40 years （from 1976 to 2015）. RAs were coded and analyzed by four analysts to identify their content of research, research methods, and statistical procedures. It was found that there has been an increase in the number and the average length of articles. The average length has been on the rise from 8.09 pages in 1976-1985 to 14.38 during 2006-2015. The extensive review of the RAs also revealed a broad range of themes that belonged to 34 research domains. SLA, Technology 8： Language Learning, Language Teaching Methodology, Language Testing, and Psycholinguistics were the most widely researched areas. The qualitative method with 33.97% was the dominant research method in the journals. Regarding the statistical techniques, it was illustrated that descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, ANOVA, and t-test were the most commonly used procedures in the applied linguistic RAs.
