• 中美关系对汉语二语教学的影响 [Teaching and Learning CSL in Light of Sino-U.S. Relations] 2025-12-08
  抽象的 本文以香港中文大学雅礼中国语文研习所 (Yale-China Chinese Language Center, 简称CLC) 的成立和发展为例，探讨中美两国之间的关系对汉语二语教学和学习者的影响。在研习所成立至今六十几年的汉语二语教学实践中，我们可以看到两国关系除了直接影响来自美国的汉语二语学习者，在生源、教学资源、课程设置等方面也对整个领域有着很大的影响，包括沉浸项目，特别是与中国关系密切的交流项目。在二语教学领域，沉浸项目的出现与这一领域教学理念和关注点在过去几十年中发生的变化有着明显的因果关系，这些变化也是本文讨论的重点之一，因为两国关系对侧重“语用为纲”语言项目的影响远大于对“结构为纲”项目的影响。研习所立足香港，从前殖民地到共和国特区，香港这个中西文化交汇点在不同时期都有着自身独特的地位和功能，不管是中美关系处于“冰河期”还是“蜜月期”，香港的汉语二语教学“借势”和“避坑”的经验教训，在我们认真思考国际中文教育的过去、现在和将来的时候，或许能带来一些启示。
• Queerbaiting strategy in Vietnamese and Taiwanese cinemas 2025-12-08

Combining narrative analysis, visual discourse, and fan community feedback, the research indicates that elements (light, dialogues, and character motivations) are used to evoke romantic emotions between male characters. In […]

  Abstract The paper aims to present some lesser-known evidence relevant to the phonological history of French gathered through the bilingual texts in the Opera Jocunda by Giovan Giorgio Alione, published in Asti, Piedmont, Northern Italy, in 1521.

• Situational analysis as a tool for interpreting within-discipline linguistic variations in disciplinary writing 2025-12-05
  Abstract Situational analysis (SA), defined by Biber and Conrad (2019) as the description of the characteristics of use of registers, is a key step in any corpus study of text varieties. Register SA is essential not only for the collection of a representative corpus, but also for the interpretation of the linguistic characteristics of the […]

  Abstract This paper provides a short introduction to Construction Grammar (CxG). It first very briefly outlines how linguistic theory has developed over time. Then it describes similarities and differences between the usage-based approach of CxG and Chomsky’s generative approach to the study of language. After that different types of constructions are described in order to […]
• Resilience in Finnish security and defence rhetoric 2025-12-05
  Abstract This paper examines Finland’s transformed security and defence policies. Following a broader European trend, Finland has begun emphasising resilience as a source of national security. Drawing on previous scholarship that has problematised the normalisation of resilience in security discussions, we examine Finland’s resilience rhetoric. Our focus is on two government reports from 2024 that […]
• A situational analysis of graduate student coursework writing in two applied sciences disciplines 2025-12-05
  Abstract Research on graduate student writing (GSW) has typically focused on theses and dissertations, with less attention paid to coursework assignments (e.g., recounts, exercises, etc.), which are prioritized by students and professors as assessments and are graduate students’ first ventures into disciplinary writing. This study details the situational exploration of a corpus of academic writing […]
• Embodied resilience and political resistance 2025-12-05
  Abstract Critical resilience studies have successfully pointed out the neoliberal individualising and depoliticising aspects of resilience. However, while viewing resilience and resistance as contradictory, little room has been left for alternative interpretations. This article addresses this gap by introducing a social movement–based perspective on embodied resilience. Drawing on the legacy of Black feminists and women […]

While power plays an essential role in collaborative translation, the sources and dynamics of power have received limited attention.

  Abstract The dominance of English as the uncontested language of international research publication has gained particular significance as a research concern. However, the sociopolitics of publishing in English by speakers of other languages, including the related national and institutional ideologies and policies in non-Anglophone contexts, remain under-investigated. In this study, we examined policies of academic […]
