  • Language Contact Between Uyghur and Chinese in Xinjiang, PRC: Uyghur Elements in Xinjiang Putonghua
    Language contact between Uyghur and Chinese in Xinjiang, PRC: Uyghur elements in Xinjiang Putonghua ABLIMIT BAKI Abstract This article reports on language contact between Uyghur and Chinese in the Uyghur Autonomous Region of Xinjiang in China. It proposes that the massive influx of Han Chinese migrants to Xinjiang resulted in intense language con- tact between the speakers of Uyghur and Chinese. As a result of this, these two languages are mutually affecting each other in the region. The focus of this article is on the influence of Uyghur on Putonghua in Xinjiang. Four catego- ries of this influence are reported: (1) phonological influence that produces Putonghua sounds similar to Uyghur sounds, exemplified by the dropping of tones, the changing of sounds and the addition of certain sounds which are closer to those in Uyghur; (2) lexical influence, exemplified by introducing into Putonghua elements of the Uyghur lexicon which are then adapted to resemble Putonghua lexical forms; (3) grammatical influence that produces Putonghua grammatical structures similar to those of Uyghur, exemplified by changing word order in Putonghua grammatical structures; and (4) semantic influence that makes use of Uyghur expressions in Putonghua through literal transla- tion, exemplified by using Uyghur similes and metaphors directly to describe people and things in certain contexts. Keywords: Uyghur, Putonghua; contact situation; language-to-language influence; language transfer; agentivity; borrowing; imposition; variety; interlanguage. 1. Introduction There is an important literature on the mutual influence of languages in contact situations. Many scholars have shown that the direction of the influence is not only from a majority language to a minority language, but also vice versa.

  • On Pragmatic Strategies for Avoidance of Explicitness in Language
    www.ccsenet.org/ass Asian Social Science Vol. 6, No. 10; October 2010 On Pragmatic Strategies for Avoidance of Explicitness in Language Peijun Chen Foreign Language Teaching Department, Jining Medical College Rizhao 276826, Shandong, China E-mail: [email protected] Abstract It is common that people avoid explicit language in daily communication. This paper intends to discuss various pragmatic strategies used for avoidance of explicitness in language and to analyze sorts of reasons for the explicitness from the perspective of pragmatics. Keywords: Explicitness, Conversational implicature, Presequences, Hedges, Politeness Principle, Adaptation theory 1. Introduction The most simple way for people to speak is that, a speaker utters a sentence and means accurately what he intends to say in the original meaning. That is to way, the speaker conveys his communicative intention in by means of direction expression. However, this straightforward means is not unique. In other words, in daily life, in most cases, people do not utter what they intend to say directly and without preamble, but insinuate to others to express their thought indirectly and implicitly. We refer to this phenomenon as indirectness or implicitness of language use, which are relative with directness or explicitness of language. The strategies and means people use to avoid explicit language are various. In this paper, the author is going to conduct a preliminary research in pragmatic strategies for avoidance of explicit language and then analyze the various reasons for avoidance of explicitness in language from the perspective of pragmatics. 2. Pragmatic strategies to avoid explicit language Actually, either direct (or explicit) expression means or indirect (or implicit) expression means, are use of language by people.

Time is an integral part of all human experiences, because everything that exists exists in time, which makes time a universal concept. The encoding of time through language, however, is linguistically and culturally specific. We need to know the differences, because they determine our underlying attitudes toward others and toward ourselves, and it is these attitudes that in their turn determine most of the problems confronting human beings in the process of intercultural communication. Globalization is blurring borders between states and people. That is why it is important to know the culturally different ways the world is structured, and time determines
