It will certainly do harm to the development of academic research if any of the two methods is given unreasonable priority. The author claims that the best or one of the best methodologies of the historical study of Chinese language is the combination of the two, hence a new interpretation of “The Double-proof Method”. Meanwhile, this essay is also an attempt to put forward “The Law of Quan-ma and Gui-mei” in Chinese language studies, in which the author believes that it is not advisable to either treat Gui-mei as Quan-ma or vice versa in linguistic research. It is crucial for us to respect always the language facts first, which is considered the very soul of linguistics.展开更多

As it turns out, Plain Language works effectively to express clearly, concisely and systematically. However, it is necessary for contemporary practitioners to review the origin and development of Plain Language Movement and to examine whether it has thoroughly implemented Plain Language policies in every federal document. Examining a contemporary federal document against the Guidelines for Document Designers reveals existing problems for further development.展开更多
