Exploring Nominalization in English Abstracts of Applied Linguistics Research Articles:A Comparative Study Between Chinese and International Journals

Researchers around the world strive to communicate new knowledge,primarily via publication,with the abstract being crucial in conveying core insights.Previous research has generally analyzed the discourse features of abstracts from a macro perspective and often employed either outdated texts,such as those over a decade old,or papers written by authors with lower English academic writing proficiency as research material.In this study,we analyzed forty abstracts from leading journals in applied linguistics,evenly split between Chinese and international journals.It revealed that the use of nominalization in abstracts by Chinese and international scholars showed similarities due to the universal academic requirement for conciseness.However,due to cultural and educational differences,each group differed in their respective language choices and nominalization usage.By analyzing the application of nominalization in different cultural contexts,the results of our study offered practical suggestions for crafting abstracts that effectively convey information,thereby,contributing to the broader academic community.

Embodied Meaning in Comprehending Abstract Chinese Counterfactuals

Embodied cognition theories propose that language comprehension triggers a sensorimotor system in the brain.However,most previous research has paid much attention to concrete and factual sentences,and little emphasis has been put on the research of abstract and counterfactual sentences.The primary challenges for embodied theories lie in elucidating the meanings of abstract and counterfactual sentences.The most prevalent explanation is that abstract and counterfactual sentences are grounded in the activation of a sensorimotor system,in exactly the same way as concrete and factual ones.The present research employed a dual-task experimental paradigm to investigate whether the embodied meaning is activated in comprehending action-related abstract Chinese counterfactual sentences through the presence or absence of action-sentence compatibility effect(ACE).Participants were instructed to read and listen to the action-related abstract Chinese factual or counterfactual sentences describing an abstract transfer word towards or away from them,and then move their fingers towards or away from them to press the buttons in the same direction as the motion cue of the transfer verb.The action-sentence compatibility effect was observed in both abstract factual and counterfactual sentences,in line with the embodied cognition theories,which indicated that the embodied meanings were activated in both action-related abstract factuals and counterfactuals.

A Comparative Analysis of Syntactic Complexity in Applied Linguistics Abstracts Written by Chinese Novice Writers and Native English Advanced Writers

The rhetorical structure of abstracts has been a widely discussed topic, as it can greatly enhance the abstract writing skills of second-language writers. This study aims to provide guidance on the syntactic features that L2 learners can employ, as well as suggest which features they should focus on in English academic writing. To achieve this, all samples were analyzed for rhetorical moves using Hyland’s five-rhetorical move model. Additionally, all sentences were evaluated for syntactic complexity, considering measures such as global, clausal and phrasal complexity. The findings reveal that expert writers exhibit a more balanced use of syntactic complexity across moves, effectively fulfilling the rhetorical objectives of abstracts. On the other hand, MA students tend to rely excessively on embedded structures and dependent clauses in an attempt to increase complexity. The implications of these findings for academic writing research, pedagogy, and assessment are thoroughly discussed.

Weakly Supervised Abstractive Summarization with Enhancing Factual Consistency for Chinese Complaint Reports

A large variety of complaint reports reflect subjective information expressed by citizens.A key challenge of text summarization for complaint reports is to ensure the factual consistency of generated summary.Therefore,in this paper,a simple and weakly supervised framework considering factual consistency is proposed to generate a summary of city-based complaint reports without pre-labeled sentences/words.Furthermore,it considers the importance of entity in complaint reports to ensure factual consistency of summary.Experimental results on the customer review datasets(Yelp and Amazon)and complaint report dataset(complaint reports of Shenyang in China)show that the proposed framework outperforms state-of-the-art approaches in ROUGE scores and human evaluation.It unveils the effectiveness of our approach to helping in dealing with complaint reports.

Novel multi‐domain attention for abstractive summarisation

The existing abstractive text summarisation models only consider the word sequence correlations between the source document and the reference summary,and the summary generated by models lacks the cover of the subject of source document due to models'small perspective.In order to make up these disadvantages,a multi‐domain attention pointer(MDA‐Pointer)abstractive summarisation model is proposed in this work.First,the model uses bidirectional long short‐term memory to encode,respectively,the word and sentence sequence of source document for obtaining the semantic representations at word and sentence level.Furthermore,the multi‐domain attention mechanism between the semantic representations and the summary word is established,and the proposed model can generate summary words under the proposed attention mechanism based on the words and sen-tences.Then,the words are extracted from the vocabulary or the original word sequences through the pointer network to form the summary,and the coverage mechanism is introduced,respectively,into word and sentence level to reduce the redundancy of sum-mary content.Finally,experiment validation is conducted on CNN/Daily Mail dataset.ROUGE evaluation indexes of the model without and with the coverage mechanism are improved respectively,and the results verify the validation of model proposed by this paper.

Abstraction and Representation:Form and Meaning in the Philosophy of Images

This article examines the complex interplay between abstraction and representation in the ontology of images.Images inhabit an in-between space as tangible artifacts that also convey intangible ideas and meanings.The analysis synthesizes perspectives from across the history of philosophy to elucidate how images bridge abstraction and representation through their form and function.It engages with ongoing epistemological and aesthetic debates concerning the dual nature of images.Plato’s theory of ideal forms is outlined as an early attempt to define abstraction.Modern semiotic theories are discussed for their insights into how images create meaning through codes and signs.Phenomenology offers an alternative approach by prioritizing the sensorial,affective impact of images.Poststructuralism problematizes representation in the context of mechanical reproduction and simulacra.While diverse,these philosophical frameworks all grapple with the issues images pose between abstract essence and concrete appearance,conceptual ideas and sensory manifestations.The article reveals the richness of images as liminal constructs that collapse dualisms in their creative interfacing of material forms and immaterial meanings.It concludes that this ontological ambiguity empowers images as mediators between imagination and perception,subjectivity and reality.

A Method of Integrating Length Constraints into Encoder-Decoder Transformer for Abstractive Text Summarization

Text summarization aims to generate a concise version of the original text.The longer the summary text is,themore detailed it will be fromthe original text,and this depends on the intended use.Therefore,the problem of generating summary texts with desired lengths is a vital task to put the research into practice.To solve this problem,in this paper,we propose a new method to integrate the desired length of the summarized text into the encoder-decoder model for the abstractive text summarization problem.This length parameter is integrated into the encoding phase at each self-attention step and the decoding process by preserving the remaining length for calculating headattention in the generation process and using it as length embeddings added to theword embeddings.We conducted experiments for the proposed model on the two data sets,Cable News Network(CNN)Daily and NEWSROOM,with different desired output lengths.The obtained results show the proposed model’s effectiveness compared with related studies.

《资本论》的时间辩证法:资本逻辑的时间叙事及其解放

《资本论》的时间概念与资本批判紧密相连。马克思在该书中分析指出,时间在资本的作用下呈现出具体和抽象的二重性质。具体时间与个体的社会劳动结合在一起,抽象时间则表现为价值的独立运动。资本周转与时间转化交织浸润,资本逻辑的建构体现为从具体转化为抽象的时间规范。作为一种将时间抽象化的强制力量,资本将个体的生命时间统摄于它的结构之内,这导致劳动者无可规避地处于被奴役和支配的异化状态。除了建构时间的抽象统治结构,资本主义还造就了一种瓦解资本逻辑的历史动力——从抽象还原到具体的自由时间。资本增殖的空间来源于劳动者被压缩的可支配的自由时间,只有对资本的批判“代表一个阶级”,劳动者才能真正推翻时间的抽象统治。要完全超越资本,必须要在整个社会范围内解放自由时间。只有在社会主义社会中,时间才能从异化劳动的空间转化为自由发展的空间。马克思在《资本论》中的上述分析,不仅解开了“资本之谜”,也解开了“时间之谜”和“自由之谜”,在揭示资本逻辑限度的同时,为当代社会主义世界中人的自由解放指明了方向。

竞技运动专家的认知优势及其形成机制——基于自动性特点和抽象化表征

目前对于竞技运动专家如何从长期训练中获得和迁移、提炼和更新专业知识与技能的机制尚未有清晰的阐释。基于专家-新手范式的研究表明,从表征学习的角度看竞技运动专家的认知优势主要体现在注意优势和记忆优势两方面,而竞技运动专家知识与技能的自动性特点和抽象化表征是其认知优势效应形成的两个关键原因。从生成模型的角度探讨竞技运动专家知识系统的抽象化表征机制,为能更好地理解竞技运动专家的认知优势效应,助其突破认知局限性提供了新的理论依据。

检视我国经济刑法中危险犯立法与司法适用

传统危险犯二分说不契合中国刑法规定与司法实践。在具体危险犯与抽象危险犯之间还存在中间形态——准抽象危险犯。经济刑法中,妨害药品管理罪,生产、销售不符合安全标准的食品罪与生产、销售不符合标准的医用器材罪,属于准抽象危险犯。立法本意是将单纯违反行政法的行为纳入刑事规制的范畴,但妨害药品管理罪中“足以严重危害人体健康”的要素设计,可能导致该罪的立法目的落空。虚开发票是逃税犯罪的预备,而伪造、出售、购买、持有发票,更是预备的预备,所以虚开、伪造、出售、购买、持有发票的行为人主观上必须具有逃税的目的,否则不构成发票犯罪。不应处罚预备的预备。储存、包装、印刷行为,在秧苗阶段喷洒禁用的农药,用盐酸克伦特罗养猪,不是“生产”“食品”;制造、提供货币版样,不是“伪造”货币;擅自设立金融机构筹备组织,不是擅自设立金融机构,均不构成犯罪。

抽象空间的矛盾与差异——列斐伏尔《空间的生产》解读

在资本主义抽象空间的发展中,越来越多的内在冲突和矛盾暴露出来,这需要一种面对抽象空间生产中的矛盾分析。重新颠倒被资本主义颠倒了的抽象空间,关键在于要深刻把握这一空间生产中社会基本矛盾中的新动向。要真正战胜资本主义空间生产方式,空间理论就必须重新关注在抽象空间的生产中被遮蔽起来的差异性,它将是原有空间生产体系本身自我爆炸的裂口,这也意味着,在社会空间生产中,探寻社会矛盾中发生的最大差异化则是走向新空间生产的开端。

抽象性位移事件及其汉语编码的认知阐释

作为认知主体的人不仅有能力识解出抽象性位移事件,而且有能力将其编码为特定的语言结构并用于交际。作为一种特殊的位移事件,抽象性位移事件的形成是有认知理据的,这一认知理据就是抽象实体的可动化机制。该机制有其自身的认知特性,其使用会受到一定的条件限制。编码抽象性位移事件的语言表达式可以叫作抽象性空间位移关系构式。汉语抽象性空间位移关系构式的构成既要受到整体性限制条件的制约,又要受到局部性限制条件的制约。

学术期刊论文摘要中立场标记的国际化研究——以语言学期刊论文英文摘要为例

作为特殊的学术体裁,其宏观语步结构与元话语使用特征受到学界广泛关注,但鲜有研究从历时角度在摘要各语步内考察立场标记的使用特征。鉴于此,本研究基于自建语料库,考察学术期刊论文摘要各语步内近二十年间(2002-2022)立场标记使用的历时变化特征。研究发现,近二十年间,模糊限制语在目的语步中使用频率显著下降,强势限定语在结果语步中使用频率小幅上升,自指标记语在各语步中使用频率均显著下降,态度标记语使用频率变化不大。结果表明,二十年间我国语言学研究立场表达策略以及知识构建方式发生一定转变,呈现出国际化趋势。本研究对理解学术期刊论文摘要语步内立场标记使用特征和学术英语写作教学具有一定参考价值。

抽象使用损失:一种应当赔偿的财产损害

我国侵权领域抽象使用损失可赔偿性尚存争议,究其原因为损害的“差额说”导致。“差额说”由莫姆森(Mommsen)于1855年发表《利益说》一文提出,认为损害为受害人在损害事故发生后所有的财产数额与其在假设损害事故不发生的条件下应有的财产数额的差额。因受害人并未支出替代物费用,自然没有产生财产差额,故无损害的发生。莫姆森“差额说”的理论源头为罗马法上的“利益(interest)”概念,对抽象使用损失可赔偿性的否定来源于对罗马法上差额状态的误解。所谓“差额”关注的是物上利益的整体状态,而非简单的财产数额计算,因此“差额说”的真正内涵应当为侵权事件发生前后的利益变化。抽象使用利益的损失应当为一种财产性利益损失,原因有三:第一,抽象使用损失的范围可以凭借主观计算方法确定,物的抽象使用价值可以凭借“商业价值理论”获得财产价值属性,且其确定性要求并非绝对,仅需达到“相对确定”标准即可;第二,应当同等评价营利物的使用损失和自用物的抽象使用损失,加害人的侵权行为阻碍了权利人实现物上的使用利益,造成了受侵害人合理期待的落空,所谓财产的本质与意义不仅在于其本体,更包括利用该财产以达成人生的目的;第三,财产性利益损失的概念更加周延,避免了损害赔偿范围的盲目扩大,对抽象使用损失加以限制更契合中国特色《民法典》权益保护的理念。德国法早已承认抽象使用损失的可赔偿性,并通过司法实务建构出一套完整的规范系统,并以“规范的损害”概念填补传统“差额说”在使用领域赔偿上的不足。“规范的损害”是与“自然的损害”相对的概念,提出损害的定义不拘泥于法律规定,而是根据受损权益在法规范评价上的重要性来决定是否具有可赔偿性。根据《民法典》设立的“获利返还”制度,加害人代受害人实现了物的抽象使用利益,这一利益根据法秩序应归属于受害人,因此这一利益应当返还给受害人,因此抽象使用损失的可赔偿性符合法规范的评价。我国《民法典》亦受德国法影响,采取损害赔偿的一般规定和具体列举损害赔偿项目的结构,因此德国法上“规范的损害”概念对我国有可借鉴意义。与我国损害赔偿体系融合的过程中需要注意规范评价的限制因素,即须满足“受损物为维系个人生活必需之物”和“可感性”要件。本文之目的即在介绍德国法上相关制度构建,并结合中国特色损害赔偿体系,为国内实务与学说提供参考。
