As to this phenomenon, the thesis mainly analyzes word formation of the mixed Chinese and English. Beginning with presenting the research background, status and significances, the thesis will employ three parts to clarify this topic.展开更多

It consists of 'feed-forward control','in-progress control' and 'feed-back control',aiming at improving the accuracy of automatic indexing of Chinese-English mixed documents. An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of our proposed method.Findings: This method distinguishes Chinese and English documents in grammatical structures and word formation rules. Through the implementation of this method in the three phases of automatic indexing for the Chinese-English mixed documents,the results were encouraging. The precision increased from 88.54% to 97.10% and recall improved from97.37% to 99.47%.Research limitations: The indexing method is relatively complicated and the whole indexing process requires substantial human intervention. Due to pattern matching based on a bruteforce(BF) approach,the indexing efficiency has been reduced to some extent.Practical implications: The research is of both theoretical significance and practical value in improving the accuracy of automatic indexing of multilingual documents(not confined to Chinese-English mixed documents). The proposed method will benefit not only the indexing of life science documents but also the indexing of documents in other subject areas.Originality/value: So far,few studies have been published about the method for increasing the accuracy of multilingual automatic indexing. This study will provide insights into the automatic indexing of multilingual documents,especially Chinese-English mixed documents.展开更多

The reasons behind this prevalence were left untouched in previous studies. In this paper, Giddens' modernity theory is used as the theoretical framework to account for the major reason behind the prevalence of Chinese-English codemixing: English code in Chinese business logos plays a positive role as a reflection of China's modernization and her participation in economic globalization.展开更多
