  • Maria Khayutina • [email protected] the Tombs
    Maria Khayutina [email protected] The Tombs of Peng State and Related Questions Paper for the Chicago Bronze Workshop, November 3-7, 2010 (, 1.1.) () The discovery of the Western Zhou period’s Peng State in Heng River Valley in the south of Shanxi Province represents one of the most fascinating archaeological events of the last decade. Ruled by a lineage of Kui (Gui ) surname, Peng, supposedly, was founded by descendants of a group that, to a certain degree, retained autonomy from the Huaxia cultural and political community, dominated by lineages of Zi , Ji and Jiang surnames. Considering Peng’s location right to the south of one of the major Ji states, Jin , and quite close to the eastern residence of Zhou kings, Chengzhou , its case can be very instructive with regard to the construction of the geo-political and cultural space in Early China during the Western Zhou period. Although the publication of the full excavations’ report may take years, some preliminary observations can be made already now based on simplified archaeological reports about the tombs of Peng ruler Cheng and his spouse née Ji of Bi . In the present paper, I briefly introduce the tombs inventory and the inscriptions on the bronzes, and then proceed to discuss the following questions: - How the tombs M1 and M2 at Hengbei can be dated? - What does the equipment of the Hengbei tombs suggest about the cultural roots of Peng? - What can be observed about Peng’s relations to the Gui people and to other Kui/Gui- surnamed lineages? 1. General Information The cemetery of Peng state has been discovered near Hengbei village (Hengshui town, Jiang County, Shanxi ).

  • A Study of Modality System in Chinese-English Legal Translation from the Perspective of SFG*
    ISSN 1799-2591 Theory and Practice in Language Studies, Vol. 4, No. 3, pp. 497-503, March 2014 © 2014 ACADEMY PUBLISHER Manufactured in Finland. doi:10.4304/tpls.4.3.497-503 A Study of Modality System in Chinese-English Legal Translation from the Perspective of SFG* Zhangjun Lian School of Foreign Languages, Southwest University, Chongqing, China Ting Jiang School of Foreign Languages, Chongqing University, Chongqing, China Abstract—As a special genre, legislative discourse reflects the power of a state through the usage of unusual forms of expressions in choosing words and making sentences. Based on the theory of modality in Systemic Functional Grammar (SFG) and the theory of legislative language in forensic linguistics, this study is designed to analyze the modality system in English translation of Chinese legislative discourses in its attempt to explore its translation problems. Through qualitative and quantitative analyses with the aid of Parallel Corpus of China’s Legal Documents, it is found that there are three prominent anomic features in English translation of modality system in Chinese legislative discourses. These features reveal that translators of Chinese legislative discourse pursue language diversity at the cost of accuracy and authority of the law. A summary of some tactics and suggestions are also presented to deal with the translation of modality system in Chinese legislative discourses from Chinese into English. Index Terms— modality system, Chinese legislative discourses, Systemic Functional Grammar (SFG) I. INTRODUCTION Translation of Chinese laws and regulations is an important component of international exchange of Chinese legal culture. Based on the theoretical ideas of functional linguistics, translation is not only a pure interlingual conversion activity, but, more important, “a communicative process which takes place within a social context” (Hatim & Mason, 2002, p.

    c 2014 by Lin Guo. All rights reserved. A NUMERICAL STUDY ON MICROBUBBLE MIXER BY LIN GUO THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Adviser: Associate Professor Sascha Hilgenfeldt Abstract This text comprises a numerical study of the mixing performance on the micromixer, a device which actuates steady streaming by semi-cylindrical sessile bubble oscillations. The mixer's capability of producing chaotic mixing is confirmed and a numerical simulation that is in good agreement with the experiment is developed, which then leads to the exploration of three mixing schemes. At the beginning, we introduce the experimental configuration of our micromixer, as well as the general framework of computing the asymptotic solution which is later used in numerical simulations. With these fundamentals, we proceed to characterize the efficiency of our mixer, essentially a Hamiltonian dynamical system, using Poincar´esections and the Finite-time Lyapunov exponent. These indicators provide evidence that by properly blinking between different streaming patterns, chaotic-like mixing can be created inside our mixer. The observation made from numerical results that the size of the region that is good for mixing is related to the blinking period is substantiated by a scaling argument. After showing that the micromixer is beneficial for mixing from the perspective of dynam- ical system theory, we then focus on real applications by developing passive scalar simulations that agree with experimental data well. Finally, the establishment of the simulation allows us to explore the efficiencies of three different schemes and to optimize their designs for better mixing.

  • Boundary Conditions and Multi-Scale Modeling for Micro-And Nano-Flows
    Boundary Conditions and Multi-Scale Modeling for Micro-and Nano-flows by Lin Guo A dissertation submitted to The Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Baltimore, Maryland March, 2016 c Lin Guo 2016 All rights reserved Abstract The development of micro- and nanofluidic devices requires detailed knowledge of interfacial phenomena. This thesis addresses two important effects at wall-fluid interfaces, boundary slip and electroosmosis, through numerical simulations. The first study uses molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to probe the influence of surface curvature on the slip boundary condition for a simple fluid. The slip length is measured for flows in planar and cylindrical geometries. As wall curvature increases, the slip length decreases dramatically for close-packed surfaces and increases slightly for sparse ones. The magnitude of the variation depends on the crystallographic orientation and the flow direction. The different patterns of behavior are related to the curvature-induced variation in the ratio of the spacing between fluid atoms to the spacing between minima in the potential from the solid surface. The results are consistent with a microscopic theory for the viscous friction between fluid and wall that expresses the slip length in terms of the lateral response of the fluid to the wall potential and the characteristic decay time of this response. The second study performs MD simulations to explore the effective slip boundary conditions over surfaces with one-dimensional sinusoidal roughness for two differ- ent flow orientations: transverse and longitudinal to the corrugations, and different atomic geometries of the wall: smoothly bent and stepped.

Scholars have rediscovered the many roles that courtesans played and recognized their significance in the creation of a unique cultural atmosphere in the late Ming literati world.1 However, there has been a tendency to situate the flourishing of late Ming courtesan culture within the mainstream Confucian tradition, assuming that “the late Ming courtesan” continued to be “integral to the operation of the civil-service examination, the process that re- produced the empire’s political and cultural elites,” as was the case in earlier dynasties, such as the Tang.2 This assumption has suggested a division between the world of the Chinese courtesan whose primary clientele continued to be constituted by scholar-officials until the eight- eenth century and that of her Japanese counterpart whose rise in the mid- seventeenth century was due to the decline of elitist samurai- 1) For important studies on late Ming high courtesan culture, see Kang-i Sun Chang, The Late Ming Poet Ch’en Tzu-lung: Crises of Love and Loyalism (New Haven: Yale Univ.

  • Ideophones in Middle Chinese

Ideophones are defined as a set of words that are phonologically and morphologically marked and depict some form of sensory image (Dingemanse 2011b). Middle Chinese has a large body of ideophones, whose domains range from the depiction of sound, movement, visual and other external senses to the depiction of internal senses (cf. Dingemanse 2012a). There is some work on modern variants of Sinitic languages (cf. Mok 2001; Bodomo 2006; de Sousa 2008; de Sousa 2011; Meng 2012; Wu 2014), but so far, there is no encompassing study of ideophones of a stage in the historical development of Sinitic languages. The purpose of this study is to develop a descriptive model for ideophones in Middle Chinese, which is compatible with what we know about them cross-linguistically. The main research question of this study is “what are the phonological, morphological, semantic and syntactic features of ideophones in Middle Chinese?” This question is studied in terms of three parameters, viz. the parameters of form, of meaning and of use.

    Postpositions vs. prepositions in Mandarin Chinese: The articulation of disharmony* Redouane Djamouri Waltraud Paul John Whitman [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Centre de recherches linguistiques sur l‟Asie orientale (CRLAO) Department of Linguistics EHESS - CNRS, Paris Cornell University, Ithaca, NY NINJAL, Tokyo 1. Introduction Whitman (2008) divides word order generalizations modelled on Greenberg (1963) into three types: hierarchical, derivational, and crosscategorial. The first reflect basic patterns of selection and encompass generalizations like those proposed in Cinque (1999). The second reflect constraints on synactic derivations. The third type, crosscategorial generalizations, assert the existence of non-hierarchical, non-derivational generalizations across categories (e.g. the co-patterning of V~XP with P~NP and C~TP). In common with much recent work (e.g. Kayne 1994, Newmeyer 2005), Whitman rejects generalizations of the latter type - that is, generalizations such as the Head Parameter – as components of Universal Grammar. He argues that alleged universals of this type are unfailingly statistical (cf. Dryer 1998), and thus should be explained as the result of diachronic processes, such as V > P and V > C reanalysis, rather than synchronic grammar. This view predicts, contra the Head Parameter, that „mixed‟ or „disharmonic‟ crosscategorial word order properties are permitted by UG. Sinitic languages contain well- known examples of both types. Mixed orders are exemplified by prepositions, postpositions and circumpositions occurring in the same language. Disharmonic orders found in Chinese languages include head initial VP-internal order coincident with head final NP-internal order and clause-final complementizers. Such combinations are present in Chinese languages since their earliest attestation.
