English-Vietnamese Bilingual Code-Switching in Conversations: How and Why Thanh Phuong Nguyen
RESEARCH ARTICLE English-Vietnamese Bilingual Code-Switching in Conversations: How And Why Thanh Phuong Nguyen Abstract The present study investigates the use of code-switching between Vietnamese and English in casual conversations and focuses on how and why conversational participants code-switch. The data include recordings of talk among a small Vietnamese-English bilingual female group and short interviews with the participants after the recordings. The paper will discuss how the bilinguals code-switched as a part of their communicative resources. I conclude with implications for ESL/EFL teaching. Introduction Code-switching⎯the alternating between two varieties within the same utterance (Ward- or more languages or dialects within a haugh, 2010) or during the same conversation conversation⎯has been an important field of (Myers, 1990; Wardhaugh, 2010).

SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS Number 216 October, 2011 Is Shuma the Chinese Analog of Soma/Haoma? A Study of Early Contacts between Indo-Iranians and Chinese by ZHANG He Victor H. Mair, Editor Sino-Platonic Papers Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104-6305 USA [email protected] www.sino-platonic.org SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS FOUNDED 1986 Editor-in-Chief VICTOR H. MAIR Associate Editors PAULA ROBERTS MARK SWOFFORD ISSN 2157-9679 (print) 2157-9687 (online) SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS is an occasional series dedicated to making available to specialists and the interested public the results of research that, because of its unconventional or controversial nature, might otherwise go unpublished. The editor-in-chief actively encourages younger, not yet well established, scholars and independent authors to submit manuscripts for consideration. Contributions in any of the major scholarly languages of the world, including romanized modern standard Mandarin (MSM) and Japanese, are acceptable. In special circumstances, papers written in one of the Sinitic topolects (fangyan) may be considered for publication. Although the chief focus of Sino-Platonic Papers is on the intercultural relations of China with other peoples, challenging and creative studies on a wide variety of philological subjects will be entertained. This series is not the place for safe, sober, and stodgy presentations. Sino- Platonic Papers prefers lively work that, while taking reasonable risks to advance the field, capitalizes on brilliant new insights into the development of civilization. Submissions are regularly sent out to be refereed, and extensive editorial suggestions for revision may be offered. Sino-Platonic Papers emphasizes substance over form. -

It is an electronic journal, distributed freely by Pacific Linguistics (www.pacling.com) and the JSEALS website (jseals.org). JSEALS was formally established by decision of the SEALS 17 meeting, held at the University of Maryland in September 2007. It supersedes the Conference Proceedings, previously published by Arizona State University and later by Pacific Linguistics. JSEALS welcomes articles that are topical, focused on linguistic (as opposed to cultural or anthropological) issues, and which further the lively debate that characterizes the annual SEALS conferences. Although we expect in practice that most JSEALS articles will have been presented and discussed at the SEALS conference, submission is open to all regardless of their participation in SEALS meetings. Papers are expected to be written in English. Each paper is reviewed by at least two scholars, usually a member of the Advisory Board and one or more independent readers. Reviewers are volunteers, and we are grateful for their assistance in ensuring the quality of this publication. As an additional service we also admit data papers, reports and notes, subject to an internal review process. -
Quantifying Constructions in English and Chinese a Corpus-Based Contrastive Study
Quantifying Constructions in English and Chinese A Corpus-Based Contrastive Study Tony McEnery1 and Richard Xiao1 Abstract Quantifiers are a linguistic concept that mirrors quantity in reality. They indicate ‘how many’ or ‘how much’, for example, the number of entities denoted by a noun, the count of actions or events, the length of time, and the distance in space. All human languages have linguistic devices that express such ideas, though the encoding of natural language semantics can vary from language to language. This paper compares quantifying constructions in English and Chinese on the basis of comparable corpora of spoken and written data in the two languages. We will focus on classifiers in Chinese and their counterparts in English, as well as the interaction between quantifying constructions and progressives, which is normally ruled out by aspect theory, with the aim of addressing the following research questions: • What linguistic devices are used in Chinese and English for quantification? • How different (or similar) are classifiers in Chinese as a classifier language and in English as a non-classifier language? • Can quantifiers interact with progressives in English and Chinese if such interactions are theoretically ruled out by aspect theory? Before these research questions are explored in detail, it is appropriate to first present the principal data used in this study, which includes two written corpora and two spoken corpora. The Freiburg-LOB (FLOB) corpus is a recent update of LOB, which is composed of approximately one million tokens of written British English sampled proportionally from fifteen text categories published in the early 1990s (Hundt et al. -
Relative Clauses in Mandarin Chinese
Relative Clauses in Mandarin Chinese Huiying Wen Queen Mary, University of London July 2020 Abstract This thesis is an investigation of the nature and theoretical analyses of the syntax of relative constructions in Mandarin Chinese, with a focus on adjunct relative con- structions and \gapless" relative constructions. In contrast to the traditional views, I propose that deriving these relative constructions requires a head raising strategy and show that this can give a better explanation of their properties and their interaction with comparatives deletion. I argue against the idea that adjunct relative constructions involve null opera- tor movement and defend a novel head raising approach using data from PP-in-situ adjunct relatives. With this in hand, I examine the syntactic analysis of gapless relatives, arguing that gapless relatives are true relatives as opposed to noun com- plements, and show that gapless relatives can be classified into two types: adjunct gapless relatives and resultative gapless relatives, depending on the semantic status of their head nouns. The former involves a manner-kind head noun which is the complement of a PP adjunct. The latter involves a result-kind head noun which is the complement of a null VP. Further, I extend this alternative approach to analyse comparative deletion in relative constructions. Queen Mary's OPAL #46 Occasional Papers Advancing Linguistics 1 Acknowledgements First, I would like to say a big thank you to my supervisor, Prof. David Adger. His immense knowledge and great passion for linguistics have inspired and encouraged me in all the time of syntactic research I spend at QMUL. -

Chinese Culture Themes and Cultural Development: from a Family Pedagogy to A
Chinese Culture themes and Cultural Development: from a Family Pedagogy to a Performance-based Pedagogy of a Foreign Language and Culture DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Nan Meng Graduate Program in East Asian Languages and Literatures The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Galal Walker, Advisor Mari Noda Mineharu Nakayama Copyright by Nan Meng 2012 Abstract As the number of Americans studying and working in China increases, it becomes important for language educators to reconsider the role of culture in teaching Chinese as a foreign language. Many American learners of Chinese fail to achieve their communicative goals in China because they are unable to establish and convey their intentions, or to interpret their interlocutors’ intentions. Only knowing the linguistic code is not sufficient; therefore, it is essential to develop learners’ abilities to be socialized to Chinese culture. A working definition of culture theme as a series of situated acts associated with cultural values is proposed. In order to explore how children acquire culture themes with competent social guides, a quantitative comparative study of maternal speech and a micro-ethnographic discourse analysis of adult-child interactions are presented. Parental discourse patterns are shown to be culturally specific activities that not only foster language development, but also maintain normative dimensions of social life. The culture themes are developed at a young age through children’s interactions with Chinese speakers under the guidance of their parents or caregivers. In order to communicate successfully people have to do things within the shared time and space provided by the culture. -
