Instead, rhetoric, in its broad sense, is frequently employed to achieve the goal of effective communication in popular texts. A good case in point is business journals. The present paper is an example of how accurate and careful choice of words, as an important rhetoric device, contributes to the effectiveness of communication in an article selected from business journal.展开更多

Firstly, QPSO is introduced elaborately, and the basic flow of QPSO is also given. Then, the demodulation principle of digital impacting filter in the communication system of CP-EBPSK with random-polar is demonstrated, and QPSO is utilized to design the digital impacting filter, which also takes the effect of finite word length into consideration when implemented by hardware. Finally, the proposed method is simulated. Simulation results show that the digital impacting filter designed by new method can derive satisfied demodulation performance.展开更多

The participants included 26 L1 English speakers and 28 advanced EFL learners who finished an English word association test that involved three types of stimuli： nouns, verbs and adjectives. Response words to the stimuli were classified into paradigmatic, syntagmatic, encyclopedic and form- based categories. Results show that： 1） L2 mental lexicon largely resembled that of L1 English speakers in that both were dominated by paradigmatic association, but L2 syntagmatic association was obviously weaker than that of L1 across the three word classes; 2） Verbs and adjectives demonstrated a greater potential to elicit syntagmatic responses than nouns in both L1 and L2 association; 3） Compared with verbs and adjectives, nouns were more paradigmatically challenging to L2 learners.展开更多
