Abstract of Dissertation Presented to the Graduate School of the University of Florida in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy THE PARTICLE LE IN CHINESE NARRATIVE DISCOURSE: AN TNTEGRATIVE DESCRIPTION By Vincent Wu-Chang Chang August 1986 Chairman : Jean Casagrande Cochairraan : Chauncey C . Chu Major Department : Linguistics The present study investigates the functions LE^ serves in Chinese narrative discourse and the various factors that 1 condition native speakers use of this particle . The perfective verbal suffix -le serves as an explicit morphosyntactic signal for the peak event in a discourse segment • The suffix further serves the function of a realis marker and tends to occur with monosyllabic action/ event verbs to recount what (has) happened In cases where the verbs in a series of clauses are not cohesive enough and/ or when a special emphasis is called for on the order of events, ~le can also serve as an overt marker of anteriority. The use of -le in narrative discourse is conditioned by several factors e . , . g the style of writing , the use of cohesive ties such as collocation, repetition , and synonymy in the text . Context and the perceptual differences among native speakers also tend to influence the use of -le in narrative discourse vii . ,. The sentence-final l_e serves as a discourse-final particle marking the end of a discourse unit or the boundary between topical units . The particle occurs most frequently at discourse- final positions where a 11 change of state” meaning is involved Discourse-final clauses which serve as a commentary on the main text, however , do not take the le , Other factors which affect the use of l_e include the presence of discourse-internal ties, the style of writing , and structural parallelism • Contextual information and the variation among native speakers as to what constitutes a discourse unit and what is and what is not of classical flavor also have a great impact on the use of l_e in narrative discourse Many of the factors which condition the use of LE interact and compete with each other . This points to the need of an integrative description of the particle. These conditioning factors are best seen as independent but interacting $ y s t eras within the framework of Integrative Linguistics , as proposed by Casagrande • Perceptual variation among native speakers regarding whether or not to use LE^ in a particular context in fact results from the different applications of a common set of principles governing the use of this particle , contingent on each individual speaker f s organization of discourse, his perception of the relatedness of the events , and his world knowledge . Perceptual variation of this type is better accounted for in terras of Chu*s "Conceptual Dynamism. ff viii CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION The particle LE ^ has long attracted the attention of grammarians and linguists working on the language . It has been studied from different perspectives , each focusing on certain aspect(s) of the particle . Chao (1968), for example, provides a quite comprehensive description of the particle within the Structural tradition • In Wang (1965), the first attempt to apply the transformational approach to the study of Mandarin, the syntactic characteristics of the particle are examined with respect to the formation of ^ negative and A-not-A sentences • A Generative Semantics account of the particle is given in Teng ( 1973), which provides detailed discussion of the semantic properties of 1 LE • Teng s work was followed by Rohsenow (1978), which is also done within the framework of Generative Semantics . In Spanos (1979 ) a pragmatic approach based on Grice (1975) and Sear le ( 1975) is proposed in order to account for native f speakers use of the particle . A functional approach is employed in Li and Thompson (1981) to capture the communicative functions of the particle . Furthermore , the 1 . • occurrence of LE in written narratives is examined and its functions explored in Andreasen (1981). Despite such extensive research done in the past two decades, work on LE^ is far from complete and in terms of language learning, the particle remains one of the most difficult grammatical elements to master in Mandarin Chinese . In general, both the syntactic and semantic properties of the particle have become fairly clear over the years , though disagreements still exist among grammarians and linguists as to what constitutes a better (if not the best) description of this particle The syntactic and/ or semantic properties of LJE alone, ? however , do not provide a full account of native speakers use of the particle in discourse .

  • China Has Huge Potential in Catering Industry 16:30, July 04, 2007
    China has huge potential in catering industry 16:30, July 04, 2007 In recent years, China's catering industry has registered a rapid growth. According to statistics, the industry is growing at a rate 10 percentage points higher than other industries. Experts predict China will undergo a great development in the industry; and potential in this sector is large and will grow rapidly. In 2006, the operational revenue of the food industry in China increased by 16.4 percent, reaching 1034.55 billion Yuan. This resulted in a net increase of 140 billion Yuan over 2005. Vice chairman of China's Cuisine Association, Yang Liu, said the tourism industry is closely related to the food industry. He said that China's domestic tourism industry earned 623 billion Yuan in 2006, a rise of 17.9 percent over 2005. According to international practice, food revenue accounts for around one fifth or one fourth of the total tourism income. China's tourism contributed 120 to150 billion Yuan to the food industry in 2006, according to Yang. In addition, the rise in food businesses in China has caused unprecedented and fierce competition. Take Beijing for example; the city registers a total of 45,000 restaurants, each day- about 100 are opened, and 100 are closed, said Zhang Weixin, professor of Oriental Cuisine College. Zhang also said the prosperity in the food market can be attributed to China's rich traditional foods and culture. China boasts a long history of food culture and has a reputation in the world for its culinary arts. Chinese cuisine consists of different genres.

  • Food in China.Pdf
    Food in China Each region of China has its own type of food. Chuan food is hot and spicy; Beijing cooking is done with a lot of meat and vegetables (including the most famous Chinese dish of all, Peking Duck); Cantonese traditions include dim sum and delicacies like shark's fin soup; Shanghai cuisine is prepared with plenty of seafood and oil. Drinks Soft drinks abound in China, both foreign brands and local. You can also buy bottled water everywhere. Other than tea, soft drinks, or bottled water, beer is your best bet. Chinese beer is generally quite good, Qingdao being the best-known brand, and almost every town has its own brew which varies from watery-but-incredibly-cheap to not-bad-and-incredibly- cheap. Beware of Chinese "wine" which is actually powerful grain alcohol. Popular Dishes Jiaozi. Dumplings. These are popular all over China, and come fried, steamed or boiled, and are stuffed with just about everything. Traditionally, families make and eat jiaozi for the Chinese New Year or Spring Festival. Making jiaozi is a social event with a group of people stuffing the dumplings together, the idea being that many hands make light work, and the result is all the tastier for your having participated in the preparation! You can order a plate of jiaozi in a restaurant, or you'll find them served in little snack food joints, often in soup (jiaozi tang). Baozi Steamed buns stuffed with a variety of fillings. These are great snacks that you'll find all over China in various different sizes and varieties.

  • A Study of C-E Translation of China Time-Honored Catering Brand Names from the Eco-Translatological Perspective
    2017 International Conference on Frontiers in Educational Technologies and Management Sciences (FETMS 2017) A Study of C-E Translation of China Time-Honored Catering Brand Names from the Eco-Translatological Perspective Ronghua Lv Xi’an University of Science and Technology, Xian, Shaanxi, 710054 Keywords: Eco-translatology; Translation as Adaptation and Selection; multi-dimensional adaptation; China time-honored catering brands Abstract. This paper is intended to explore the C-E translation of approximately 100 time-honored catering brands, from the eco-translatological perspective. The author, through this research, proposes corresponding translation strategies and methods for the brand names put in six different categories, and produces the translated brand names with the optimal degree of adaptation and selection, by employing multi-dimensional adaptation and selection, with the guidance of Eco-translatology. Introduction China Time-honored Brands, long-standing and well-established, have absorbed the essence of abundant and profound Chinese culture and history. And time-honored catering brands are beautiful flowers rooted and blooming in the garden of China Time-honored Brands and represent the height and depth of Chinese culinary culture. On the background of One Belt and One Road, time-honored catering brands should both entertain customers at home and abroad and expand their overseas market. It is not exaggerating to say that their properly translated brand names play a significant role in their process of entering the international market.However, little systematic study is made on C-E translation of these brand names. No doubt that there is an urgent need to give proper concern to this field. Luckily, thanks to the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the study concerning C-E translation of China Time-honored Brands has attracted a number of scholars’ and translators’ attention.

E-mail: [email protected] Received: Mach 22, 2018 Accepted: April 9, 2018 Online Published: April 25, 2018 doi:10.5539/mas.v12n5p34 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/mas.v12n5p34 Abstract This study analyzes a Japanese mobile phone e-mail data corpus (created by the researcher) of 43,295 Keitai-mail exchanged for the purpose of personal communication by 60 young people aged 18 to 30 who are familiar with Keitai-mail practices. The result shows that the Keitai-mail analyzed consists on average of approximately 40 moji (symbols) including 3 emoticons per message, showing that composition is short but not overly abrupt – generally Keitai-mail does not finish in the middle of a sentence. Non-standard textual elements, language plays (LP) such as emoticons, long vowel symbols, irregular use of small moji, and non-standard use of each type of script (e.g., use of Katakana instead of Kanji) are found to be governed by the conventions of Standard Japanese and are not totally random occurrences. Keywords: Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) E-mail, Japanese, orthography 1. Introduction This study investigates the characteristics of language appeared in Japanese mobile phone e-mail (Keitai-mail), as a CMC widely practiced, in order to deepen our understanding how the media influences languages uses in natural or daily communication.

Unearthed in 2004 from the banks of the Yangtze River and dated to 173 CE, the stele was dedicated to Quren county magistrate Jing Yun who died 70 years earlier in 103 CE. The paper provides a full translation, annotation, and analysis of the stele’s commemorative text, which borrows from the content and language of one of China’soldest anthologies of poems, the Chuci, and places it in its historical context. It also examines the iconography at the head of the stele which reflects beliefs in transcendence and the pursuit of immortality prevalent at the time and demonstrates its close relation to the inscription. Overall, the paper suggests that the decoration and text together exhibit a regional heritage that is distinct to the south-west, its memorial culture, and poetic and religious traditions.
