In this theory, when “de” and demonstratives like “this/that” appear in the same structure, there is going to be a multiple DP structure. (2) Huang, Li & Li (2008) take both pronouns and demonstratives as the heads of the appositive structures like “tamen zhe sange haizi”. In this opinion, Mandarin Chinese has Split-D structures like Italian, Hungarian and Greek. (3) It seems that a Mandarin DP could have double heads D when two determiners both appear in the same structure. In “renhe zhe lei wenti”, the determiners “renhe” and “zhe” both appear. The structure is going to be analyzed as a multiple DP or a Split-D structure. However, the paper proves that Mandarin Chinese has no multiple DP structures, not like Italian, Hungarian or Greek.展开更多

In this paper, Herrera-Martfnez's 2-Tuple linguistic representation model is extended for reasoning with uncertain and qualitative information in Dezert-Smarandache Theory (DSmT) framework, in order to overcome the limitations of current approaches, i.e., the lack of precision in the final results of linguistic information fusion according to 1-Tuple representation ( q1 )- The linguistic information which expresses the expert's qualitative beliefs is expressed by means of mixed 2 Tuples (equidistant linguistic labels with a numeric biased value). Together with the 2-Tuple representation model, some basic operators are presented to carry out the fusion operation among qualitative information sources. At last, through simple example how 2-Tuple qualitative DSmT-based (q2 DSmT) fusion rules can be used for qualitative reasoning and fusion under uncertainty, which advantage is also showed by comparing with other methods.展开更多

This paper examines the factors that influence the use of the definite article by Chinese learners and tries to figure out their second language developmental characteristics in English definite article acquisition. On the basis of contrast analysis and the description of the learners' interlanguage, some predictions are offered and the marked tendency to omit the definite article is explored in the framework of the Relevant Theory. It is regarded that L1 transfer, learners' differences, and the semantic and pragmatic use of the in communication influence Chinese learners' use of the definite article, which has some implications to English learning and teaching in China.展开更多
