Discourse Teaching

The dictation text has always been a weak point for our students in Test for English Majors-4. Discourse teaching is an indispensable part of listening teaching. This paper mainly discusses the pattern analysis and strategy methods in the four dictation text listening discourse. The content includes TEM-4 listening examination requirements, dictation text discourse analysis, the answer steps and strategy methods in dictation text. The research of this subject is designed to help students perform better in their listening exam.

The Advice Genre (1400-1599). Genre and Text Type Conventions The aim of this paper is to characterize the advice text as a genre in the late medieval and early modern English periods. This genre is very popular during this time and is usually found within medical remedy books. For this reason, it has been generally studied within the scope of medieval recipes in historical discourse analysis. In this paper my intention is to show the independent status of the advice text as a genre. A first step for this lies in the characterization of the linguistic features pertaining to the sections that compound this genre and its comparison with the recipe genre. The corpus for this study has been collected from several sources, both edited and unedited. The description of the text type features will be illustrated with examples taken from this corpus. As I show in the conclusion, the advice text is an independent genre with a clear communicative purpose and addressed to an intended audience.

Shed Light

This article tries to shed light on hemispheric preference of interpreters on task by combining a neuropsychological approach to the study of the interpreting process with analytical approaches to discourse analysis and text comprehension. A detailed propositional analysis of interpreters' output, including a categorization of text-type, combined with experimental data from hemispheric preference research of interpreters on task revealed that text structure influenced hemispheric preference.

Reading Teaching

<em>Reading is a primary avenue of language input and the spread of knowledge. Some EFL learners focus on vocabulary and grammar, but ignore the broader relationship between words, sentences and paragraphs in reading. Due to this, it is of great necessity to introduce discourse analysis to English reading teaching because of its potential to improve students’ discourse awareness and reading comprehension. While discourse analysis covers three aspects, structure of discourse, cohesion and coherence, and background information and context, this paper aimed to identify the ideal focus of discourse-based English reading teaching and to uncover pedagogical differences between English majors and non-English majors in Chinese universities. The research findings show that Chinese students have a good sense of discourse in general, and the main difference between English majors and non-English majors is that English majors are more inclined to grasp the main idea by analyzing the structure of discourse. The pedagogical implication is that if discourse-based reading teaching is applied for non-English major students, it should focus more on reading strategies related to the structure of discourse.</em>

Academic Texts

This article focuses on Middle English medical recipes and aims to show that the concepts of “genre”, “text type” and “text tradition” provide useful tools for historical discourse analysis, as they operate in different ways and illustrate various sides of medieval texts. Medical recipes are a well-defined procedural genre included in a variety of contexts: they form the major contents of remedybooks, but they are also found within the learned tradition of medical writing. The reception and use of these texts can be studied through their genre contexts and other extralinguistic features. The assessment of their text-type features shows that a higher degree of standardisation is found in remedybooks; academic texts and surgical treatises show more variation. The observed differences cannot be attributed to genre, and the readership was presumably much the same. The underlying traditions seem to have been important: remedybooks were handbooks for consultation to find cures for diseases. The more standardised the format, the more easily the advice was accessible. In contrast, recipes in the learned tradition were included in longer treatises as integral parts for demonstration of the healing principles.

Plasticity of the neural coding metaphor: An unnoticed rhetoric in scientific discourse

Abstract The convincing argument that Brette makes for the neural coding metaphor as imposing one view of brain behavior can be further explained through discourse analysis. Instead of a unified view, we argue, the coding metaphor's plasticity, versatility, and robustness throughout time explain its success and conventionalization to the point that its rhetoric became overlooked.

Morphologic Criterion

Increased nuclear size, resulting in an increase in the relative proportion of nuclear to cytoplasmic sizes, is an important morphologic criterion for the evaluation of neoplastic and pre-neoplastic cells. This paper describes investigations into the suitability of automated image analysis for quantitating changes in nuclear and cytoplasmic cross-sectional areas in exfoliated cells from tracheas treated with carcinogen.Neoplastic and pre-neoplastic lesions were induced in the tracheas of Syrian hamsters with the carcinogen N-methyl-N-nitrosourea. Cytology samples were collected intra-tracheally with a specially designed catheter (1) and stained by a modified Papanicolaou technique. Three cytology specimens were selected from animals with normal tracheas, 3 from animals with dysplastic changes, and 3 from animals with epidermoid carcinoma. One hundred randomly selected cells on each slide were analyzed with a Bausch and Lomb Pattern Analysis System automated image analyzer.

Diffraction Patterns

Computer programs are now available in various laboratories for the indexing and simulation of transmission electron diffraction patterns. Although these programs address themselves to the solution of various aspects of the indexing and simulation process, the ultimate goal is to perform real time diffraction pattern analysis directly off of the imaging screen of the transmission electron microscope. The program to be described in this paper represents one step prior to real time analysis. It involves the combination of two programs, described in an earlier paper(l), into a single program for use on an interactive basis with a minicomputer. In our case, the minicomputer is an INTERDATA 70 equipped with a Tektronix 4010-1 graphical display terminal and hard copy unit.A simplified flow diagram of the combined program, written in Fortran IV, is shown in Figure 1. It consists of two programs INDEX and TEDP which index and simulate electron diffraction patterns respectively. The user has the option of choosing either the indexing or simulating aspects of the combined program.
