In recent years, many scholars have carried out some theoretical and empirical studies on the various features of TT. Based on the papers published in some world key journals, this paper has made a comparison between Chinese scholars and western scholars on the research features of TT in terms of the three levels： research subject, research methodology and research content. The paper has also proposed some suggestions on how to improve Chinese English teacher＇s talk and the classroom teaching quality.展开更多

In her recent book Silence and Concealment in Political Discourse, Dr. Melani Schrrter addresses a largely underexplored aspect of political discourse and offers a systematic presentation of theoretical underpinnings and empirical application of the analytical framework proposed for examining discursive absences and communicative value of silence. With three case studies in the German political context, the author demonstrates the possibility and potential in using a combined method to analyze contextualized absence of speech, drawing insights from discourse analysis and pragmatic approaches. This book also deals critically with such significant issues as ritual and political action, thus offering valuable insights to the general theoretical debate on political discourse.展开更多
The construction of the literature research discourse in the seven decades since the foundation of the PRC has shown an upward spiral, from 'state/collective discourse' to 'society/individual discourse'...The construction of the literature research discourse in the seven decades since the foundation of the PRC has shown an upward spiral, from 'state/collective discourse' to 'society/individual discourse' and thence to 'world/human discourse.' These related but different discourses have worked together to facilitate literary writing and literature research. During the last 70 years of literature research, the Marxist theory of literature and art has always played a guiding role. Having close links with Chinese literary practice, Marxist theory has had a fundamental impact on the construction of the Chinese literature research discourse system. The emergence of 'state/collective discourse,' 'society/individual discourse' and 'world/human discourse' is an integral, historical, logical and dynamic process. Chinese literature research discourse should be constantly innovated and developed with a vision that looks to the world and the future, in order to contribute Chinese wisdom to dialogues between different academic discourses in the world and thus demonstrate the unique value of Chinese academic research in the humanities.展开更多

In the Western academic field, the writing of academic essays is widely used in higher education to assess students' comprehension of the course material and to demonstrate students' academic and research levels. Based on Swales' and Bhatia's approaches, the move analysis is combined with the analysis of linguistic features — lexical and cohesive devices to analyse the research report introduction in order to show the necessity of including discourse analysis into teaching English writing. Based on this analysis, suggested applications for language teaching are put forward.展开更多

Questions needing further reflection and exploration are： What does the genesis and expansion of this topic actually mean？ Within what horizon can we reveal its fundamental nature and draw further conclusions？ What intellectual task will be presented to us in the course of fixing its direction？ An in-depth probe into these questions, that is, the core issue in the contemporary construction of the Chinese system of academic discourse, is how contemporary academic discourse can enter deep into the specific content ushered in by our historical practice, so that this content can be truly grasped intellectually and studied academically.展开更多

文摘As an important academic issue, the contemporary construction of the Chinese system of academic discourse has attracted increasing attention in recent years. Questions needing further reflection and exploration are： What does the genesis and expansion of this topic actually mean？ Within what horizon can we reveal its fundamental nature and draw further conclusions？ What intellectual task will be presented to us in the course of fixing its direction？ An in-depth probe into these questions, that is, the core issue in the contemporary construction of the Chinese system of academic discourse, is how contemporary academic discourse can enter deep into the specific content ushered in by our historical practice, so that this content can be truly grasped intellectually and studied academically.
