В статье проведен анализ микротекстов новостных сообщений российских СМИ о китайских лидерах, изучены дискурсивные стратегии. В статье используется корпусный инструмент AntConc 3.4.3 для извлечения высокочастотных слов и анализа коллокаций (т.е. словосочетаний); используется метод системно-функцио-нальной лингвистики Хэллидея для анализа транзитивности, интертекстуальности текстов в корпусах. Результаты анализа показывают, что новостные сообщения о китайских председателях в российских СМИ имеют положительное значение в общем, имидж председателей Китая также является положительным. Расширение и углубление сфер китайско-российского сотрудничества и отношений между двумя странами всегда находятся в центре внимания российских СМИ. В новостных сообщениях о китайских председателях российские СМИ создают образ китайского председателя как друга и единомышленника России. От председателя Цзян Цзэминя до председателя Си Цзиньпина степень дружбы постепенно увеличивалась. Российские СМИ наиболее основательно создают имидж руководства Си Цзиньпина. С помощью прямых и косвенных цитат они подчеркивают лидерский имидж председателя Си Цзиньпина и его личные качества, которые помогают вести Китай к великому возрождению. This paper analyzes the microtexts of news reports of the Russian media about Chinese leaders, as well as to study the discursive strategy used by the Russian media in news reports about Chinese leaders. The article uses the corpus tool AntConc 3. 4. 3 to extract high-frequency words and analyze collocations (i.e. phrases); the Halliday method of system-functional linguistics is used to analyze transitivity, intertextuality of texts in corpora. The results of the analysis show that news reports about the Chinese presidents in the Russian media show a positive value in general and the image of the Chinese presidents is also positive. The expansion and deepening of the spheres of Sino-Russian cooperation and relations between the two countries are always in the center of attention of the Russian media. In news reports about the Chinese chairmen, the Russian media create the image of the Chinese chairmen as a friend and like-minded person of Russia. From Chairman Jiang Zemin to President Xi Jinping, the degree of friendship gradually deepened. The Russian media always create the image of the leadership of the Chinese presidents and most thoroughly create the image of the leadership of Xi Jinping. With the help of direct and indirect quotes, they emphasize the leadership image of President Xi Jinping and his personal quality in the process of leading China to a great revival.

Abstract. The present study tested if word frequency effects on judgments of learning (JOLs) are exclusively due to beliefs or if the direct experience with the items also plays a role. Across four experiments, participants read prompts about the frequency of the words (high/low), which could be congruent/incongruent with the words’ actual frequency. They made pre-study JOLs (except Experiment 1b), immediate JOLs, and completed a recall test. If experience drives the effect, JOLs should be based on actual word frequency rather than the prompts. Results showed higher pre-study JOLs for prompts of high frequency, but higher immediate JOLs for high-frequency words regardless of the prompt, suggesting an effect of direct experience with the words. In Experiments 2 and 3, we manipulated participants’ beliefs, finding a small effect of beliefs on JOLs. We conclude that, regarding word frequency, direct experience with the items seems more relevant than beliefs when making immediate JOLs.

The impact of Covid-19 placed Higher Education leadership in a state of crisis management, where decision making had to be swift and impactful. This research draws on ethea of mindfulness, actor training techniques, referencing high-reliability organisations (HRO). Interviews conducted by the author with three leaders of actor training conservatoires in Higher Education institutions in Australia, the UK and the USA reflect on crisis management actions taken in response to the impact of Covid-19 on their sector, from which high-frequency words are identified and grouped thematically. Reflecting on these high-frequency words and the thematic grouping, a model of mindful leadership is proposed as a positive tool that may enable those in leadership to recognise and respond efficiently to wider structural frailties within Higher Education, with reference to the capacity of leaders to operate with increased mindfulness, enabling a more resilient organisation that unlocks the locus of control.

This article explores the putative addressee in the persuasion of diplomatic discourse by adopting White’s recent proposals as to putative reader/addressee positioning to specifically examine China’s communication efforts through South African English-language newspapers in the Xi Jinping era. Likemindedness is found to be predominantly construed, meticulously balanced with relative frequent construal of uncommittedness and very rare construal of un-likemindedness. And a set of 12 interrelated discourses are identified as fundamental ideological tenets in legitimating China’s African engagement and its vision of world order. Findings show that the classical political discursive strategy of Us/Them polarization is typically deployed. The analysis and discussion illustrates how White’s proposed framework can be systematically applied to offer new lines of analysis of persuasion and shed some light on understanding contemporary Chinese diplomatic discourse.

Beginning readers' rime reading accuracy was assessed over three years to examine the influence of word frequency and rime-neighborhood size (the number of single syllable words with the same rime) on words presented in lists and stories. Twenty-seven 1st- and 2nd- grade students read 54 words and 27 nonwords containing rimes from different size neighborhoods. In Year 1, children showed effects of neighborhood size in high frequency words read in stories and in low frequency words read in lists and stories. In Year 2, rimes from large neighborhoods were read more accurately than rimes from medium and small neighborhoods in high- and low-frequency words. In Year 3, no effects of rime-neighborhood size were found for high-frequency words, but effects on low-frequency words continued. These results support Leslie and Calhoon's (1995) developmental model of the effects of rime-neighborhood size and word frequency as a function of higher levels of word learning.

This study assessed the degree to which disabled readers commonly and identically confuse high-frequency sight words in isolation and context. Disabled readers from a university reading clinic and from fourth-grade classrooms were tested for their ability to recognize 22 target words in word lists and in a story. Series of analyses of variance indicated that both groups recognized more words in context than in isolation, and that the clinic and natural school groups did not differ in the number of errors produced in isolation or in context. A Spearman rank-correlation coefficient yielded a very low, statistically significant correlation between the number of errors in isolation and context for the 22 target words. Hierarchical arrangements of words confused in both conditions and words frequently confused in isolation, but rarely in context, are presented. Inspection of these errors suggests that readers relied on visual characteristics of words for isolated word recognition, whereas errors on these words in context were generally regulated by semantic and syntactic constraints of the story. Findings are discussed in terms of diagnosis and instruction through the use of context materials. Suggestions are given for futher research with learning disabled students in natural school settings to identify specific reversal problems with high-frequency words.

Phonological evidence supports the frequency-based model proposed in the article by Nick Ellis. Phonological reduction occurs earlier and to a greater extent in high-frequency words and phrases than in low-frequency ones. A model that accounts for this effect needs both an exemplar representation to show phonetic variation and the ability to represent multiword combinations. The maintenance of alternations conditioned by word boundaries, such as French liaison, also provides evidence that multiword sequences are stored and can accrue representational strength. The reorganization of phonetic exemplars in favor of the more frequent types provides evidence for some abstraction in categories beyond the simple registration of tokens of experience.

Abstract Background: Organoid is an artificially grown mass of cells or tissues, which is similar to an organ. It can replicate the complexity of an organ and can be used for gaining a better understanding of diseases. In this study, the hot spots of “organoids” were classified into 6 categories and 10 aspects, and organoids used for studying genetic mechanisms, drug effect, and metabolism of tumors showed the greatest potential for future development.Methods: A total of 1550 articles relevant to organoid in tumor research field were recruited as research samples. High-frequency words and text/co-word matrix were constructed by BICOMB software. gCLUTO software was applied to analyze the matrix by double-clustering and visual analysis subsequently to identify the hotspot in this area.Results: We constructed a text and co-word matrix composed of 21 high-frequency words and 1550 articles and generated a hotspot “peak map” based on double-clustering analysis. The strategic coordinates approach was used to assess the research prospects of each hotspot and the connections between these hotspots.Conclusions: In this study, we classified the hot-spots of “organoid” into 6 categories and 10 aspects. Calculation and analysis revealed that the field of tumor organoid shows a slight trend of polarization, and organoid for studying the genetic mechanisms, drug effects and metabolism of tumor shows the greatest potential for future development.

Whether attention is allocated to an entire word or can be confined to part of a word was examined in an experiment using a visual composite task. Participants saw a study word, a cue to attend to either the right or left half, and a test word, and indicated if the cued half of the words (e.g., left) was the same (e.g., TOLD-TONE) or different (e.g., TOLD-WINE). Prior research using this task reports a larger congruency effect for low-frequency words relative to high-frequency words but extraneous variables were not equated. In this study ( N = 33), lexical (orthographic neighbourhood density) and sublexical (bigram frequency) variables were controlled, and word frequency was manipulated. Results indicate that word frequency does not moderate the degree to which parts of a word can be selectively attended/ignored. Response times to high-frequency words were faster than response times to low-frequency words but the congruency effect was equivalent. The data support a capacity model where attention is equally distributed across low-frequency and high-frequency words but low-frequency words require additional processing resources.
