中国人的非常话语

“非常话语”与立意高远,立论宏大、论述谨严的鸿篇巨制不可同日而语。充其量,它只是供人消遣,供人消暑纳凉,供人茶余饭后的一味精神小品。但吃腻了海鲜大餐,满汉全席,偶尔换换口味,未尝不是一种选择。

Political discourse is an important component of Chinese discourse,and its translation criticism research is of great significance for telling the story of China well and establishing an international image.Iconicity is an important means to form the rhetorical effect,so the translation of political discourse must try to reproduce the iconicity of the original text.By analyzing the syntactic iconicity of the English version of the White paper China’s Epic Journey from Poverty to Prosperity,it is found that for the translation of quantitative iconicity,it is necessary to adjust the translation by synonym substitution or sentence pattern conversion on the basis of ensuring the representation of quantitative rhetoric.For the translation of sequential iconicity,it should strive for representing the logical sequence of the original text while enhancing the readability and rhetorical power of the translation.For the translation of distance iconicity,it is necessary to reproduce the delicacy of the original,meanwhile,to consider the emotional and rhetorical implication.The research emphasizes the balance between“syntactic iconicity of original text representation”and“appeal and readability of translated text”.The study is helpful to telling the“China’s poverty reduction story well”and translation practice of political discourse.

中国文学研究界自新时期以来,历经数番新潮的洗礼,特别是经受过20世纪80年代中期以“系统论”为核心的文学批评方法论的新名词的狂轰滥炸、90年代中期的以文化研究为主调的概念范畴的“跑马圈地”之后,似乎对来自异域的思潮、概念等,有了一种警觉的心理,审视的姿态。按理说,这是一种进步。

On the Contemporary Construction of the Chinese System of Academic Discourse

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.

Academic Discourse Right/Power and the Development of Chinese Sociology

As a kind of right （quanli 权利）, academic discourse rights include the right to create and innovate, to endow with meaning and to academic autonomy. As a kind of power （quanli权力）, it refers to the power to guide, judge, control and so on. These rights and powers have been pursued as Chinese sociology developed for over a century. At the inception of sociology in China, Yan Fu and other scholars experimented with localizing sociology and innovating academic discourse. Fei Xiaotong＇s life covered nearly 20 years of Chinese sociology＇s early development and another 56 years of its later development; his academic journey epitomizes the historical development of Chinese sociology. The only way for Chinese sociology to move from the periphery of world academia into the center is to endeavor, on the basis of theoretical self-consciousness, to seize the commanding heights of academic discourse rights.

The Contemporary Construction of Chinese International Law Discourse

The contemporary construction of Chinese international law discourse, on the one hand, ought to precisely, systematically and completely express and communicate fundamental principles, main regimes and substantial features of international law as well as core values, basic conceptions, key terms, mainstream theories or doctrines and representative views gradually established and developed in the study of international law; on the other hand, it should fully and in a timely way manifest China＇s creative contributions to international law and its discipline and discourse. The framework of contemporary Chinese international law discourse should take ＂building a harmonious world＂ as the guiding rationale; thoroughly cover the four basic dimensions of the international rule of law and Chinese foreign policy and its practice, namely domestic, multilateral, regional and bilateral; coincide with, follow and respect those rules, natural laws and tendencies such as fundamental rules governing international relations, globalization, multilateralism, regional integration and regionalism, the international community＇s obligations （or rights） and China＇s needs for peaceful development. It should orient its basic functions toward promoting the continuous development and wide application of contemporary international law as well as its teaching, study and dissemination, stimulating the progress of the rule of law in China, protecting Chinese interests, especially those core national interests, and strengthening China＇s international image and status as a responsible big country.

Language, Discourse and Identity： A Case Study of a Chinese University Student Learning English Through the Internet

This paper reports a case study of an EFL student＇s English language learning through the Internet. It draws on a larger longitudinal study of six Chinese university students＇ critical web literacy practices, and focuses on one of the participants, Tao. Using interviews as the primary data source, the study explored how the student engaged in daily online literacy practices, and how he utilized digital media and open resources to learn English autonomously. The findings suggest that the Internet and digital media were his major tools for learning English. Tao＇s web literacy practices were connected to his identity construction and the development of critical thinking skills in the use of both English and Chinese. This paper raises questions about Chinese university students＇ autonomy in their digital literacy development and the learning of English in the digital age of globalization.

On the Development of a Chinese Discourse in Literary Studies Based on Current Practice

There are two mistaken tendencies in the development of a Chinese literary discourse in academia. One is the ＂red dancing shoes＂ phenomenon, where scholars run helter- skelter after the latest developments in Western literary theory; the other is the ＂bound feet＂ phenomenon, where tradition-bound scholars believe that tradition must be kept unchanged and that Chinese literary theory should be cleansed of all alien elements. Neither approach is desirable. Contemporary Chinese literary theory should be grounded in present realities and should distinguish between substance and function. ＂Substance＂ has to consist of China＇s present literary creation and critical practice; only thus can we appropriate Western and traditional Chinese literary theories in the service of today＇s needs, and make the ancient serve the modern and the foreign the Chinese. This will enable us to develop a literary discourse that is both contemporary and Chinese.

The Enabling and Constraining Nationalist Discourse and Effects of Strategic Narratives： China＇s Foreign Relations

This paper examines the projection and reception of strategic narratives in the realm of Chinese nationalism and the impact of contemporary official nationalist discourse on Beijing＇s foreign policy making. Within the analytic framework of political symbolism, the paper dissects the divergent national identities reflective in different semantic and syntactic relationships inherent in the state-crafted historical narratives in contemporary China. In the post-Tiananmen era, the signification of the traumatic symbol of national humiliation in modem Chinese history, projected in the form of strategic narratives by the Party-state in patriotic education, has given rise to a societal force that threatens to internalize the historical conflicts on the foreign relations fi：ont. The counter-effect of strategic narratives, which has constrained the rationality of the state＇s foreign policy making, implies that collective memory is not an on^ztemand resource for the authoritarian regime to exploit to enhance its legitimacy. The relationship between the Chinese state and society as the constructor and consumer of communicative nationalism cannot be simplistically dichotomized.

The Discourse Myth in China＇s News on Economy and Real Estate

There exists great room for ＂rational imaginary＂ in the discourse of news narration, the myth formed and enhanced therein becoming widely accepted as commonsense. The discourse in economic news through systematic and disciplinebound ＂objective＂ description disguises the power of the capital as the natural result of scientific laws. FoUowing the same logic, the news on real estate implicates the myth of development and investment. A critical reflection on such myth is of great necessity for us to better understand the discourse system in news production.
