A Review of Research on Development of Interlanguage Pragmatic Competence from a Cognitive Perspective

English language learners' pragmatic competence is related to their success incross-cultural communication. Cognitive approaches, mainly the Noticing Hypothesis and Analysis/Control Model, have provided some insights into the question of how to effectively develop second language(L2) learners' pragmatic competence. Empirical studies based on cognitive theoretical constructs suggest that pragmatic activitiesthat draw learners' attention and help them control attention to relevant and appropriate information and integrate those forms in real time of communication contribute to the development of interlanguage pragmatic competence.

A Cognitive Pragmatic Approach on Mongolian Parentheses

The parentheses in English,such as that is or in other words are applied in linguistic context or discourse context.As for the Japanese parentheticals,a comparative study can be observed between English and Japanese,such as in Uchida(2001).However,parentheses such as olan nu helelcehu ber,Өgere ber helebel,…..ect.in Mongolian mostly introduce us the grammatical function and do not make any further analysis or discussion regarding them.Here I make a discussion on the Mongolian parentheses from the relevance theoretic approach.

Effects of a Drums Alive®Intervention versus Hand-Foot Coordination Training on Motor, Cognitive and Motivational Parameters in Seniors

This study was conducted to compare the effects of two different interventions on the physiological, cognitive, and motivational parameters in seniors;and, how they would be accepted as alternative forms of exercise in the senior population. The facilitators recruited 26 randomly selected participants from two senior care facilities in Chemnitz, Germany who were required to complete two 45-minute exercise periods a week for 30 days. The first group completed the Drums Alive intervention which included a multi-dimensional approach using music, movement, drumming choreographies, games, and activities. The second intervention group completed a series of Hand-Foot Coordination exercises that used beat-keeping patterns on various parts of the body. Each intervention group had three divisions of participants, i.e. “healthy” to define those with no diagnosed malady, “dementia” for those with varying degrees of diagnosed dementia, and, “wheelchair” and those requiring a wheelchair for movement. The pre- and post-testing measurements consisted of age, heart rate, blood pressure, rate of perceived exertion (RPE), bar-drop test, chair-raise test, 6-minute walk test, memory, concentration, balance, reaction, coordination, and cognitive flexibility. In addition, to measure the level of motivation, i.e. fun, the participants used a tool that was developed by the Psychology Department of the Chemnitz University. The results demonstrated that both interventions were suitable alternates for senior-focused conventional sports offerings, however, the Drums Alive intervention outperformed the Hand-Foot Coordination intervention in a majority of the measured domains by an overall average of 9.45 percent. Of note, the data, vis a vis motivation, demonstrated a 38.4 percent increase for Drums Alive vice a 13.3 percent increase for Hand-Foot Coordination, suggesting the Drums Alive intervention offered more effective protocols that could inspire seniors to make this a part of an overall health and wellness plan to improve their quality of life.

Teaching Guided By the Cognitive Principle

It is necessary to invite the cognitive principle to improve our language teaching method and make the learning process more effectively.Compared with the traditional teacher-centered teaching method,language teaching guided by the cognitive principle can change the role of teacher and students.Teachers should pay more attention to form students' autonomy learning ability,increase their motivation and help students find balance between investing efforts and getting results.Meaningful learning should be adopted during teaching and anticipation of reward also works effectively.

On Pragmatics and Language Teaching

This thesis concentrates on analyzing the impacts of pragmatics on English teaching by application of the theories of se mantics and pragmatics.It attempts to probe into the profound relationship between pragmatics and grammar,pragmatics and se mantics,pragmatics and cognition in order to find out the proper methods on language teaching.

Goal Attainments and the Role of Metacognitive Self in Task Accomplishment

Based on metacognition theories we present a construct of metacognitive self(MCS)as self-awareness of biases.Contrary to counterintuitive idea metacognitive self fosters self-regulation in the area of goal’s attainment.Study 1(N=118)showed that high metacognitive self individuals created more clear mental picture of their plans than low metacognitive self counter partners.Moreover participants high in metacognitive self undertook more actions to fulfill their goals then low MCS colleagues.Study 2(N=201)revealed that high metacognitive self individuals strive for autonomy and they work much better to attain their goals in the no load settings,while low metacognitive students work much better under supervision.

Cognitive Cycle in Mind Model CAM

Cognitive cycle is a basic procedure of mental activities in cognitive level. Human cognition consists of cascading cycles of recurring brain events. This paper presents a cognitive cycle for the mind model CAM (Consciousness And Memory). Each cognitive cycle perceives the current situation, through motivation phase with reference to ongoing goals, and then composes internal or external action streams to reach the goals in response. We use dynamic description logic which is an extended description logic with action to formalize descriptions and algorithms of cognitive cycle. Two important algorithms, including hierarchical goal and action composition, is proposed in the paper.

Cognitive Dissonance in Chinese Luxury Consumption Market

质点到网络:公共服务动机、行为、绩效三元交互发展逻辑体系构建

公共服务动机的研究不断发展繁荣,理论研究成果颇丰,是公共管理研究的前沿热点。但公共服务动机如何转化为公共服务绩效在理论机制方面尚未清晰,遑论纳入公共管理人力资源实践中。基于Apriori算法对相关主题文献进行了无监督机器学习挖掘,发现公共服务动机转化的研究不足之处。基于此,在社会认知理论视角下系统性厘清了公共服务动机、公共服务行为、公共服务绩效三者关系,打通了三者相互链接转化的逻辑框架。并以逻辑转化路径为基础,基于系统网络层面搭建起“公共服务动机—公共服务行为—公共服务绩效”三元交互发展的逻辑分析模型,以期发展和完善公共服务动机理论,从而达到将公共服务动机理论成功转化为实践的目的。

从句后置型假设句的语法特征与语用动因

现代汉语从句后置型假设句是一种主要用于言域的语用性特殊假设句式。因使用非常规语序而语义关系不明,便强制要求使用假设标记,同时排斥推论标记,形成“……,如果……的话”这样的典型结构形式。其语体分布和假设标记显示了其书面化倾向,具有追补说明作用的从句可为主句所言提供适宜性条件。这种特殊语序假设句能在汉语中使用开来,外受西文翻译的影响,内则因凸显强调主句内容及与前后文保持语义连贯的语用需要。语用表达需求是假设句语序变异的主要原因。

平行构式的存在理据:对话句法+认知构式语法的视角

本文从对话句法和认知构式语法的视角,把平行结构视作一种构式-平行构式,并从构式的定义、场景编码假设、语言的体认性、平行构式对于组成词汇的压制等方面,进一步论证了平行构式存在的理据。平行构式能够改变其中词汇的读音、词性、意义,引起词义的转换,并可能产生新词。对于平行构式的研究有助于我们理解小句层级之上语篇的句法结构,有助于把构式的概念真正扩展到语篇的层面和语言之外的模态,有助于将构式语法应用到语篇层面的分析和多模态话语分析。

语义违实构式“浅X一下”的功用及流行动因

最近“浅X一下”非常流行,但由于语境的不同,“浅X一下”呈现出同形异质的特点。文章讨论了构式“浅X一下”和一般格式“浅X一下”的区别,以及构式语义、构式出现的语境特点、语用功能和流行动因。“浅X一下”结构表示主观减少动作的量,区别于一般格式实际上(或心理事实或客观现实)的减少,构式实际上并不减少。构式“浅X一下”的语义为:说话人意图强烈,主观减少动作的量(实际上没减少),委婉轻松地表达自己的意图。语用功能主要体现为委婉含蓄、轻松随意、风趣幽默。流行动因上,受到求新求异、中庸思想的影响,同时它也体现了人们对于维护交际双方面子和风趣幽默的追求。
