    Open AccessDan Li, Tiaoyuan MaoARTICLEJournal of Asian and African…2024Cited by: 3References: 21

    Ex-colonial languages have exerted influence on the development of education and the shaping of other socio-economic and political structures in post-colonial countries. Based on an overview of language-in-education policies in Tanzania, the article offers a nuanced account of the disparity between the use of English and Kiswahili as medium of instruction (MoI).

  • Pragmatic competence, autistic language use and the basic properties of human language

    Open AccessTiaoyuan MaoARTICLEJournal for the Theory of Social…2023Cited by: 1References: 55

    The unique linguistic profile of autistic people urges linguists to address the divergences in human language, its acquisition and use among major linguistic perspectives. Fitting with the dual roles of language (thought and communication), this paper adopts an internal pragmatic competence (IPC) and a (similar) pragmatic competence for external communication (PCEC) to elucidate how autistic linguistic profile discloses the divergences between na…

First, this article conducts a critical review of the investigation of pragmatic competence in communicative ability theory, the function-discourse model, the componential and meaning-driven model, and the relevance-theoretic model. Based on the me…

  • Redefining pragmatic competence among modular interactions and beyond

    Tiaoyuan MaoARTICLEIntercultural Pragmatics2020References: 5

    Language is a perfect system that satisfies the conditions imposed by the external performance/interpretive systems, but how the external systems interact with the core syntax is partially understood. With reference to Chomsky’s dichotomy of grammatical and pragmatic competences, this paper tentatively reformulates an integrated model of pragmatic competence, consisting of an internal and an external part. The former originates from the interacti…

  • Can the research on language planning be also planned: Recent academia-government interactions in China

    Shanhua He, Tiaoyuan MaoARTICLECurrent Issues in Language Planning2020References: 9

    The current Language Policy and Planning (LPP) literature does not differentiate between LPP as practical planning and LPP as a research area. This lack of a conceptual distinction has led to difficulties in explaining the contradiction of the lethargic status of LPP-research and the vigorous reality of LPP-practice. This paper concentrates on LPP-research and proposes that this seemingly self-dependent activity is also subject to management. The…
