Important Branch

Cognitive linguistics has always been an important branch of linguistics, and during 20th century, linguistics experienced three revolutions: Saussure’s structuralism revolution, Chomsky’s TG revolution, and cognitive functional linguistics’ revolution to Joe’s revolution. Time to 21st century, Wang Yin, a famous professor in China, put forward an important and revolutionary point about linguistics based on the research of cognitive linguistics and philosophy. He proposed a new concept, Embodied-Cognitive Linguistics, with repairing cognitive linguistics. In addition, writing has always been the focus and difficulty of most Chinese students to study and how to promote their writing is the essential question for teachers to think deeply. Except Embodied-Cognitive Linguistics, this research will also take the point of Meta-cognitive Strategy and corrective feedback theory and then take some suggestions on how to teach writing.

The Relationship

The study examined Chinese students’ writing performance through the lens of corrective feedback and learners’ interlanguage experiences. It concludes that coding on paper may work only on learners who pay much attention to teachers’ feedback. It is always the work of both students and teachers to improve the accuracy in English writing.

Internal Mechanism

AbstractSince the latter half of the 20th century, studies of linguistic signs have exhibited a steady tendency to shift inwards from “form” to “cognition”, the unfolding of which is driven by linguistic globalization and cultural globalization. The present article attempts to account for this shift and to further explore the implications of contemporary linguistic sign studies for the internal mechanism of the human brain and neurons and the intelligent mechanism of the text and culture. If it can be said that the 20th century was the era of formal linguistics, then it is rightful to say that the 21st century will be the era of cognitive linguistics. “Shifting toward cognition” will have a profound impact upon the development of various disciplines in the 21st century and all humanity.

The Silk Road

The Silk Road as an image is a relatively new one for Afghanistan. It appeals to both the pre-Islamic and the perceived Islamic past, thus offering an Islamic balance to previous identities linked to Bamiyan or to the Kushans. It also appeals to a broader and more international image, one that has been taken up by many other countries. This paper traces the rise of the image of the Silk Road and its use as a metaphor for ancient trade to encompass all contacts throughout Eurasia, prehistoric, ancient and modern, but also how the image has been adopted and expanded into many other areas: politics, tourism and academia. It is argued here that the origin and popularity of the term lies in late 20th century (and increasingly 21st century) politics rather than any reality of ancient trade. Its consequent validity as a metaphor in academic discussion is questioned

Space Activities

During the second half of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, space hazards multiplied, the most urgent of which is space debris. Professionals working in space are exposed to this hazard daily and are aware of it as a problem. Furthermore, increasing attention is being paid to the unpredictable behavior of the Sun, which produces the so-called space weather. The asteroid-comet hazard is considered as potentially having the most catastrophic consequences. No manifestations of biological hazard have yet been observed, although as space activities develop, it is becoming increasingly important. The appropriate time scale for astrophysical hazards is many millions of years, so from a practical perspective, they have no importance. This article briefly describes the main types of space hazards. The author analyzes the results of research and practical work in the field, both worldwide and specifically in Russia. Comparative analysis leads to the clear conclusion that a national program must be developed for the study of space hazards and to respond to space threats. This article is based on a report made by the author at the meeting of the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) on January 15, 2019.

Earthquake Fatalities

Modern global earthquake fatalities can be separated into two components: (1) fatalities from an approximately constant annual background rate that is independent of world population growth and (2) fatalities caused by earthquakes with large human death tolls, the frequency of which is dependent on world population. Earthquakes with death tolls greater than 100,000 (and 50,000) have increased with world population and obey a nonstationary Poisson distribution with rate proportional to population. We predict that the number of earthquakes with death tolls greater than 100,000 (50,000) will increase in the 21st century to 8.7±3.3 (20.5±4.3) from 4 (7) observed in the 20th century if world population reaches 10.1 billion in 2100. Combining fatalities caused by the background rate with fatalities caused by catastrophic earthquakes ( >100,000 fatalities) indicates global fatalities in the 21st century will be 2.57±0.64 million if the average post-1900 death toll for catastrophic earthquakes (193,000) is assumed.
