The Processing Mechanism of Associative Meaning Under the Cognitive Context Based on Culture

Cognitive context is the cognitionalized context of language, situation and context of culture by the individual which is stored and stimulated in individual＇s mind when meaning is processed. The focus of this article is on context of culture cognitionalized by individuals. Cognitive context based on culture is the inner force of the processing of associative meaning. Cognitive context reflects the similarities and differences of the understanding of different cultural communities towards the world around them.

THEORY AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ICAI COGNITIVE MODEL BASED ON MEANING

Cognitive models must be able to adapt the students learning behaviors dynamically.In our point of view,the processes of learning and understanding are,in nature,the procedure that gains the meaning of the object to be learned.So,ICAI cognitive models should reflect the meaning structure of the domain knowledge in students mind.According to this view,we developed the meaning theory of Ludwig Wittgenstein,and proposed the concept of meaning conjoinism.On the basis of the meaning conjoinism we proposed a meaning oriented ICAI cognitive model and its corresponding teaching tactics.Furthermore,we developed an ICAI system named Thinking and the efficiency of our proposal has been demonstrated.

Translating Means Translating Meaning

Meaning and the Theory of Speech Acts

According to J.L.Austin and J.R.Searle Speech Act Theory,many actions can actually be performed with words that is to say an important part of the meaning of an utterance is what that utterance does.Language is not only used to inform or describe things,it is often used to "do things".The utterances are of three kinds of acts:Locutionary Act,Illocutionary Act,and Perlocutionary Act which are performed simultaneously.Through the study,we see that speech can be far beyond the level of language system.

相变对TiNi合金薄壁管中波速的影响

形状记忆合金在受到强冲击荷载作用时会发生相变,而相变对其结构件的动态力学响应影响显著。本文采用同时考虑静水压力和偏应力影响的相变临界准则,推导了增量型的相变本构模型。基于广义特征理论,得到了复杂应力状态下特征波速的解析表达式。特征波速不仅和材料本身的力学参数(如拉压不对称性和混合相的模量)有关,还和材料所处的应力状态有关。对因相变导致体积膨胀的TiNi合金而言,拉压不对称性系数的增大会提高慢波的波速,而对快波几乎没有影响。在相变椭圆的短轴处(α=90°),慢波的波速最低,并随混合相无量纲模量的增大而显著减低,混合相无量纲模量由2增加至5时,波速降低幅度为36.2%,而快波的波速达到最大值c_(0),和混合相的模量无关;在相变椭圆的长轴处(α=180°),慢波的速度达到最大值,而快波的波速达到最小值c_(2)。

On the priority of salient meanings in English idioms understanding

Giora proposed that general principle of salience： salient comprehension of figurative and meanings are processed first and literal language be governed by a more meaning salience determines the type of processing invoked. According to the Graded Salience Hypothesis, processing familiar metaphors should involve the activation of both their metaphoric and literal meanings, regardless of the type of context in which they are embedded. Processing less familiar metaphors should activate the literal meaning in both types of contexts; however, in the literally biased context, it should be the only one activated. Processing familiar idioms in context biased towards the idiomatic meaning should evoke their figurative meaning almost exclusively, because their figurative meaning is much more salient than their literal meaning. However, processing less familiar idioms in an idiomatic context should activate both their literal and idiomatic meanings because both meanings enjoy similar salience status.
