Abstract: Conceptualization is the cognitive process in which categorical features are projected to the conceptual domain and concepts are formed. It determines the prototype concept and form of a syntactic unit by its initial conceptualization process and the non-prototype concept and form of a syntactic unit by its re-conceptualization process. The sentence of eating and drinking in English is a sentence category expressing the concept of eating and drinking, and is the formal representation of the concept of eating and drinking in English. The concept of eating and drinking results from the conceptualization of the action of eating and drinking. Its prototype results from the conceptualization of the physical

Abstract: In studies on Focus-on-Form instruction, no consensus has been reached about the effects of the explicit and implicit oral corrective feedback on foreign language grammar teaching and learning. Accordingly, this study examines the effects of metalinguistic and recast oral corrective feedback (MOCF and ROCF) on Chinese high school students’ acquisition of the English passive voice. The results show that both MOCF and ROCF can promote senior high school students’ acquisition of explicit and implicit knowledge of the English passive voice...

Abstract: Raymond Williams’s criticism on Orwell lasted for 30 years and turned all the more hostile. According to Williams, Orwell and his works were a complex of “paradoxes”: Orwell intended to be committed to the society but constantly felt alienated; he tried to build connection with proletarians but always failed to do so, and these paradoxes were fundamentally related to his “ruling-class” identity and ultimately threw him into despair. Based upon Orwell’s life details and writings, this thesis attempts a critical analysis of “Williams’s Orwell,” revealing Williams’s complex feelings dominated by “anxiety of influence”, refuting all kinds of biases caused by Williams’s class-determined perspective, and aiming for a clarification of the major misunderstandings of Orwell and his works.

Abstract: James Joyce’s reading and acceptance of Dante have always been a topic of great concern to Joyce scholars. This article argues that the influence of the Divine Comedy is extremely typical as to form, among other things, the structure, characters and images of Joyce’s short story “Araby.” Provided that in the Divine Comedy, Dante’s “poetics of conversion” is realized through the structure of the “three visions” (the corporeal, the spiritual, and the intellectual); then in Araby there is also an underlying structure of “three visions,” namely the secular life of North Richmond Street, Mangan’s sister and the Araby market....

Abstract: The widely accepted belief that there was a strong connection between the Essex “rebellion” and William Shakespeare’s Richard II has limited scholars’ interpretation of this play. This research sheds light on how a supposed “historical context” has consistently misled the understanding of the play. The Earl of Essex’s political opponents within the Elizabethan government used John Hayward’s The First Part of the Life and Raigne of King Henrie IIII to implicate Essex in a plot, portraying his group as scheming by staging a performance of Richard II on the day before the “rebellion”. They even intentionally conflated Hayward’s historical ...
