This paper investigates the motivation types of non-English majors in English learning by means of questionnaires . The subjects were 100 non-English majors of Science and Arts in Hubei University of Technology.

The results show that major and English proficiency have significant effects on English learning mo-tivation. In addition, there is interaction between the age when English learning began and family background, major and English proficiency.

英汉流行歌曲中颜色词的爱情隐转喻对比研究

研究运用概念隐喻、转喻和原型范畴理论,以英汉流行歌曲为语料,对其中颜色词的爱情概念进行比较,发现二者之间的相似与差异。相似之处在于:1)两者都基于原型范畴理论,由概念隐喻、转喻共同构建;2)英汉语中都存在双重心理意象的颜色词,而且部分颜色词只有一种意象会映射在爱情上;3)英汉颜色词体现的爱情隐转喻同大于异。差异主要体现在:1)英语中通过颜色词映射的爱情隐转喻不如汉语丰富;2)某些颜色词由于本身的文化烙印,其差异也会体现在爱情隐转喻方面。
