From the margins to relationality
Although islands are not an unfamiliar context in language policy and planning (LPP) research due to the diversity and complexity of their linguistic landscapes, studies on island LPP remain fragmented. Islands have often been treated as special cases of land rather than as islands within LPP scholarship. This review therefore examines LPP studies that focus exclusively on sovereign island states to identify the distinctive architectures and chal…
Grammaticality and acceptability of Chinese news headlines as a Special Language Domain
Language works by rules, yet linguistic rules may be intentionally and legitimately violated in certain areas of language use to achieve pragmatic purposes. This phenomenon, known as Special Language Domain (SLD), provides a unique perspective to unravel the motivation, mechanism, and limit of language evolution. This paper presents a mixed-method empirical study that investigates the grammaticality and acceptability of Chinese news headlines as …
Habitual code-switching between English and Cantonese
Previous research on bilingual language processing has shed light on language control mechanism behind comprehension and speech production of bilinguals but the commonness or habitualness of code-switched terms in the design of the stimuli is seldom explored. This research attempted to explore the relationship between habitualness of code-switched terms and cognitive load level in Cantonese-English sight translation tasks among native Cantonese s…
Automatic live captioning in simultaneous interpreting
The increasing availability of automatic live captioning (ALC) technology offers new possibilities for its application in simultaneous interpreting (SI). However, its effectiveness in SI contexts requires further investigation, particularly compared to conventional SI modes. This study addresses this gap by conducting a comparative analysis of four interpreting modes: SI without text, SI with text, sight translation and SI with ALC. We evaluated …
Multifaceted multilingual experiences modulate neurocognitive mechanisms of task switching
This study explored the relationship between multifaceted multilingualism and cognitive shifting through a task-switching paradigm using fMRI. Multilingualism was modeled from both convergent (i.e., integrated multilingual index) and divergent (i.e., L2 proficiency, interpreting training, language entropy) perspectives. Participants identified letters or numbers based on task cues, with Repeat trials maintaining the same task and Switch trials re…
Lexico-semantic Activation of Translation Equivalents During the Attentional Blink
Looking East and Looking West’
Crime fiction travels well in translation 1 ; it offers the reader a 'convenient mix of the familiar and exotic' 2 which may explain to some extent the mass appeal the genre has worldwide.This article charts the textual movements, specifically of key tropes of crime fiction, between (primarily Anglophone) Western and Chinese literary systems: moments of production, reception, translation and exchange which contribute to 'advancing the genre' 3 wi…
