English Advertising Language Features and Translation

As a practical style, Advertising English has gradually derived from the English language due to its particular social role. In this respect, this paper will generalise the fundamental knowledge of the advertisement including its definition, objective, and writing principles. This is followed by an analysis on language features based on vocabulary, grammar, punctuation, and rhetorical devices. However, the main thrust of the thesis is not devoted to a purely linguistic study. Rather, building on the theoretical reflections of equivalent theory and cultural conversion, this paper attempts to find the joint reflecting the similar functions of both English and Chinese. Therefore, This thesis will not confine itself simply to a list of language features but rather go further and crack the ＂hard nut＂--how to tackle translation in advertisements. Little ink, as the case stands, has been spilled over this crux. Taking into consideration the distinctive functions and stylistic features of advertisement, general principles that highlight the qualities of awareness, understanding, conviction, and action will be offered. Based on these general principles, tactics both regular and strategic are tentatively offered. As is often the case, a translator walking on a tightrope plays dual roles： a submissive servant and a defiant master. In this sense, it is proposed that a blend of regular and strategic tactics should be employed in pursuit of an optimum transfer of information.

Impact of transcranial electrical stimulation on serum neurotrophic factors and language function in patients with speech disorders

BACKGROUND Speech disorders have a substantial impact on communication abilities and quality of life.Traditional treatments such as speech and psychological therapies frequently demonstrate limited effectiveness and patient compliance.Transcranial electrical stimulation(TES)has emerged as a promising non-invasive treatment to improve neurological functions.However,its effectiveness in enhancing language functions and serum neurofactor levels in individuals with speech disorders requires further investigation.AIM To investigate the impact of TES in conjunction with standard therapies on serum neurotrophic factor levels and language function in patients with speech disorders.METHODS In a controlled study spanning from March 2019 to November 2021,81 patients with speech disorders were divided into a control group(n=40)receiving standard speech stimulation and psychological intervention,and an observation group(n=41)receiving additional TES.The study assessed serum levels of ciliary neurotrophic factor(CNTF),glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor(GDNF),brainderived neurotrophic factor(BDNF),and nerve growth factor(NGF),as well as evaluations of motor function,language function,and development quotient scores.RESULTS After 3 wk of intervention,the observation group exhibited significantly higher serum levels of CNTF,GDNF,BDNF,and NGF compared to the control group.Moreover,improvements were noted in motor function,cognitive function,language skills,physical abilities,and overall development quotient scores.It is worth mentioning that the observation group also displayed superior perfor CONCLUSION This retrospective study concluded that TES combined with traditional speech and psychotherapy can effectively increase the levels of neurokines in the blood and enhance language function in patients with speech disorders.These results provide a promising avenue for integrating TES into standard treatment methods for speech disorders.

Research on the Gender Discrimination Phenomenon and the Primary Cause in English and Chinese Language

In this paper, we conduct research on the gender discrimination phenomenon and the primary cause in English and Chinese language. Language is a social phenomenon, so the restriction of the society but the culture is the foundation of the survival and development of human society cannot leave the culture at the same time. Due to physiological differences, men in the social practice play a more important role than woman burdened with a family.

Readability Formula for Chinese as a Second Language: An Exploratory Study

Textbook writers,Chinese language teachers,and test designers need to ensure readability of the texts they use or intended to use.They often resort to“expert judgements”based on professional experience rather than apply objective measures.This happens because there is a lack of suitable readability formulas like those established for English.Moreover,in the Singaporean context where Chinese language is taught at a lower level(referred to as a Second Language or Mother Tongue Language),readability formulas developed for Chinese as a First Language for use in,for example,the Chinese mainland and Taiwan,are not suitable for use in Singapore(and other places where Chinese is learned as a heritage language).The present study made use of extant Chinese language textbooks as the source of data and created three readability formulas for Chinese as a Second Language.Predicted grade levels were then compared with the original grade levels of 100 selected texts at Primary 1 to Secondary 4 levels.The formula for the full text was found to be most effective when compared with the two for shorter versions of the texts.Prediction was more accurate when applied to the texts for Primary 1-6 students than to the texts for Secondary 1-4 students.The formula was found to be convenient to use as it entailed just three language features which could be easily hand-calculated,i.e.,the number of Chinese characters,the number of words,and the average sentence length.Practical use and limitations of the formula are discussed.

A Multiple Feature Approach for Disorder Normalization in Clinical Notes

In this paper we propose a multiple feature approach for the normalization task which can map each disorder mention in the text to a unique unified medical language system（UMLS）concept unique identifier（CUI）. We develop a two-step method to acquire a list of candidate CUIs and their associated preferred names using UMLS API and to choose the closest CUI by calculating the similarity between the input disorder mention and each candidate. The similarity calculation step is formulated as a classification problem and multiple features（string features,ranking features,similarity features,and contextual features） are used to normalize the disorder mentions. The results show that the multiple feature approach improves the accuracy of the normalization task from 32.99% to 67.08% compared with the Meta Map baseline.
