  • Thinking-for-translating of manner beyond the motion domain: An analysis of directionality and proficiency in Chinese–English and English–Chinese translation

    Open Access•L Shen•ARTICLE•Target International Journal of…•2026

    Typological influences on translating manner-of-motion have been extensively examined, but few studies have analyzed whether the ‘thinking-for-translating’ hypothesis extends to other semantic domains and how factors like directionality and proficiency interact with typology. Using Stosic’s (2020) framework for multi-domain manner analysis, this study, which draws on the Parallel Corpus of Chinese EFL Learners, analyzes a bidirectional corpus of …

  • The association between the diabetes mellitus duration and the risk of pulmonary tuberculosis in the elderly: Evidence from a community-based study in China

    Open Access•Yijun He, Yan Qian et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Global Health•2026

    Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the risk factors for pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) development, and the dual burden of these diseases poses a significant public health challenge. However, the impact of DM duration on the risk of pulmonary TB, which is crucial for developing precise intervention strategies, has not been clarified. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study based on an active case-finding project on pulmonary TB in Quzh…

  • Typological differences and cognitive load in manner processing: A corpus-based study of Chinese–English and English–Chinese consecutive interpreting

    Open Access•L Shen•ARTICLE•Language and Cognition•2025•References: 30

    The influence of inter-typological variations on the processing of manner information has been extensively examined in the domain of motion. Manner, however, extends to more other semantic domains, as demonstrated in the onomasiological approach to manner analysis. This study, based on this approach, analyses the influence of directionality and cognitive load (measured by interpreting performance) on the transfer of manner under high cognitive de…

  • Liwc Indicators of Cross-Country Income Inequality at the United Nations General Debate (1987-2020): An Elastic Net Analysis

    Open Access•L Shen•ARTICLE•Journal of Language and Social…•2024•References: 27

    Can a set of Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) indicators differentiate between the UN speeches from higher-income and lower-income countries? Based on 34 years of 6,095 speeches (14,300,539 words) and dynamic income grouping, an elastic net analysis selects 18 such categories. The hypothetical explanations are discussed with four theoretical perspectives: gender-neutral language, politeness, scarcity mindset, and expectation states theory…

  • Referential explicitation of English translated diplomatic discourse? A 50-year 56-lingual corpus-based study on United Nations general debate speeches (1970–2019)

    L Shen•ARTICLE•Across Languages and Cultures•2023

    Research on explicitation has been criticized by a lack of diachronic analyses and multi-lingual comparisons. This study, therefore, conducts a 50-year (1970–2019) comparison of referential explicitness between a 11,721,608-token corpus of English translated diplomatic discourse from 56 languages and a 11,113,036-token corpus of English original diplomatic discourse extracted from the United Nations General Debate Corpus (UNGDC) with the Multi-di…

  • Culture and Explicitness of Persuasion: Linguistic Evidence From a 51-Year Corpus-Based Cross-Cultural Comparison of the United Nations General Debate Speeches Across 55 Countries (1970-2020)

    Open Access•L Shen•ARTICLE•Cross-Cultural Research•2023•References: 42

    The explicitness of expression or persuasion has been a critical subject of study in cross-cultural studies. The majority of cross-cultural comparisons in this respect, however, have been based on questionnaires and surveys. This study seeks to diversify the methods and validate the results with a corpus-based register analytical approach. Based on the United Nations General Debate Corpus (UNGDC) that comprises comparable multi-cultural speeches,…

  • Constructive or repressive

    Open Access•Uli Bernhard, Marco Dohle et al.•ARTICLE•Studies in Communication and Media•2016•Cited by: 1•References: 16

    According to the third-person effect or the influence of presumed media influence approach, the presumption that the media has strong effects on other people can affect individuals' attitudes and behavior. For instance, if people believe in strong media influences on others, they are more likely to increase their communication activities or support demands for restrictions on media. A standardized online survey among German journalists (N = 960) …
