有特征的文章整体与有特征的语言形式——中国古代文体论与西方Stylistics的本体论比较

在中国古代文体论中,“文体”范畴的基本内涵是指具有特征性的文章整体;而在西方stylistics中,style的基本内涵是指具有特征性的语言表达方式。“文体”与style尽管具有一定程度的异语对应性,但仍然是无法等同的两个异质范畴:从具体层面看是文章整体与语言表达方式的区别,从本体层面看有生命整体观与工具(语言)本体观的不同。差异的揭示有助于准确把握中国古代文体论的独特品质。

The Application of Stylistics on College English Teaching

Stylistics is the description and analysis of the variability of linguistic forms in actual language use. The concepts of 'style' and 'stylistic variation' in language rest on the general assumption that within the language system, the same content can be encoded in more than one linguistic form. Operating at all linguistic levels (e.g.lexicology,syntax, text linguistics, and intonation), stylisticians analyze both the style of specific texts and stylistic variation across texts. These texts can be literary or nonliterary in nature. Considering all the disadvantages in the college English teaching, it is necessary that stylistics be applied on the college English teaching, which can stimulate students' learning, improve their cognitive English knowledge and relive their interest on English.

Novel Machine Learning–Based Approach for Arabic Text Classification Using Stylistic and Semantic Features

Text classification is an essential task for many applications related to the Natural Language Processing domain.It can be applied in many fields,such as Information Retrieval,Knowledge Extraction,and Knowledge modeling.Even though the importance of this task,Arabic Text Classification tools still suffer from many problems and remain incapable of responding to the increasing volume of Arabic content that circulates on the web or resides in large databases.This paper introduces a novel machine learning-based approach that exclusively uses hybrid(stylistic and semantic)features.First,we clean the Arabic documents and translate them to English using translation tools.Consequently,the semantic features are automatically extracted from the translated documents using an existing database of English topics.Besides,the model automatically extracts from the textual content a set of stylistic features such as word and character frequencies and punctuation.Therefore,we obtain 3 types of features:semantic,stylistic and hybrid.Using each time,a different type of feature,we performed an in-depth comparison study of nine well-known Machine Learning models to evaluate our approach and used a standard Arabic corpus.The obtained results show that Neural Network outperforms other models and provides good performances using hybrid features(F1-score=0.88%).

Grammar and Stylistics (cont.)

2.2.3. Simple and Complex Sentences There is no general answer to the question whether a writer should use simple/one-clause sentences or complex ones. But choice between those two structures should not be made without considerations. Generally speaking, if the aim of the writer is to provide the reader with a complex structure of ideas and a complex reading experience, then complex sentences are preferred. If the writer uses a succession of simple sentences, there will be no obvious indication of relationship between the ideas conveyed in each separate sentence. Nor will there be any indication of the relative importance of the sentences. Therefore, simple sen-

Death or Rebirth in The Snows of Kilimanjaro——A Literary Stylistics Reading

Scholars have studied The Snows of Kilimanjaro from different angles, but few have focused on the stylistic features of it. If approaching The Snows of Kilimanjaro from the perspective of literary stylistics, readers will find the following: The fiction seems fragmented and difficult to understand, but the employment of repetition, parallelism, symbolism, metaphor, pun, oxymoron and stream of consciousness technique makes it a unified whole. The repetition of"death"by Harry himself and the use of symbolism lead readers to understand the final ending of Harry: death out of gangrene. Also, through repetition, a character that has no love and who regrets over his waste of talent is presented to the readers. The use of stream of consciousness technique provides readers with a window into Harry's past life and his deeply poignant personal regret. Harry has the potentiality to make achievements in writing, but he, disillusioned by war, wasted his talent due to lying, laziness, incontinence, and indulgence in comfort life. He had died spiritually even before he got infected. The rescue by the plane is just Harry's illusion, and the rebirth of him may only be the author or the readers'expectation.

Metaphor in Imagist Poetry from the Perspective of Stylistics

The imagism is a poetic movement that came out in the 20 th century. In the former period, the poets depend largely on semantic deviation to juxtapose absent and abstract images with readers'familiar and concrete images. In the collision of the images, the readers may sense the beauty of the images and the poets'imagination."Jacobsen points out that the transition from the Modernism to post Modernism is a transition from metaphoric language to metonymic language."(Brooks, 2004) In the later imagist poems, the language becomes metonymic but the uses of metaphor dose not disappear in the poems.
