Urban-rural disparities in Hanoi's café names
This study examines the Linguistic Landscape (LL) of café names in Hanoi, Vietnam, analysing 3,844 establishments across urban and rural districts. Using quantitative methods to investigate language distribution and syntactic patterns in English, French, and Vietnamese, the research reveals urban-rural disparities in language choice and grammatical structures. Urban cafés exhibit higher English prevalence with pre-nominal modification, while rura…

Reinforcing or challenging stereotypes? Uncovering Africa’s image in the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary
As instruments of intellectual and cultural transmission, dictionaries are both shaped by social practices and influential in framing social realities through their linguistic choices. This study employs the combined approach of transitivity analysis and content analysis to investigate representations of Africa in the example sentences of the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary (10th edition). The findings reveal three key patterns: (1) While mu…
Chinese EFL learners’ conceptual combination of English noun–noun compounds
Recent research has uncovered relation-based conceptual combination in L1 English speakers’ processing of noun–noun compounds. However, it remains unclear whether Chinese EFL learners undergo a similar relation-based conceptual combination when processing English noun–noun compounds, particularly given the similarities in compounding between English and Chinese. To address this inquiry, a cohort of 120 Chinese EFL learners with advanced and inter…

A refinement of the analysis of the resultative V -de construction in Mandarin Chinese
This paper proposes two major modifications to previous analyses of the resultative V -de construction in Mandarin Chinese. First, while -de is argued to be prepositional in nature, it is shown at the same time that -de is different from other regular prepositions in that the former, but not the latter, undergoes head movement in a resultative. To reconcile these apparently conflicting observations, we propose to treat -de as the exponent of a pr…
Chinese topic constructions are derived by movement
Chinese, a topic-prominent language, abounds with gapped and gapless topic constructions. Several explanations of how topics are derived have been proposed, which fall into three categories: the base-generation approach, the mixed approach and the movement approach. In this study, we conducted two experiments to examine the island sensitivity of topic constructions in Chinese, bringing novel evidence to adjudicate the different approaches to topi…
Anaphora and Depictives Do Not Rule Out Small Clause Approaches to Argument Structure
Bruening (2018) uses the facts of anaphora and depictive modification to justify non-small-clause analyses of resultative constructions, caused-motion constructions, verb-particle constructions, and double object constructions: these constructions behave differently from canonical small clause constructions in terms of anaphora and depictive modification. In this reply, we argue against treating these tests as reliable diagnostics of small clause…
Prevalence and Risk Factors for Anxiety and Depression in Patients With Covid-19 in Wuhan, China
OBJECTIVE: Infectious diseases can cause psychological changes in patients. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and related risk factors for anxiety and depression in patients with COVID-19. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was performed on patients with COVID-19 admitted to the Sino-French New City branch of Wuhan Tongji Hospital from January to February 2020. The Zung Self-Rating Anxiety and Depression Scales were used to evaluate the p…
Treatment of the Way- Construction in English-Chinese Learners’ Dictionaries
This article focuses on the treatment of the way-construction (work one’s way through, find one’s way to, etc.) in English-Chinese learners’ dictionaries (ECLDs). Despite its complexity in structure and meaning, little research has been conducted into the systematic organization of the way-construction in learners’ dictionaries. Adopting a construction grammar approach, we subdivide the way-construction into three interpretations. We suggest that…

Power Structure and Media Autonomy in China
How do Chinese media derive the autonomy to practice relatively freely, and how are they deprived of it? By analyzing the case of Southern Weekend, this study proposes one crucial factor—the central–local power structure within the Party’s censorship system to explain the dramatic changes of media autonomy in China. It argues that the divergence between the local authority and the central propagandists in dealing with the local media has guarante…

The Self-Perception of Ability by Chinese Children in China and Hong Kong
The purpose of the study was to examine the self-perception of ability by Chinese children with respect to gender and grade differences. A total of 1,679 boys and girls in three primary grade levels from Mainland China and Hong Kong were included, and an indigenously developed multidimensional self-concept scale (MMSI) was used. Results showed that in both the China and Hong Kong samples, boys were found to score a little lower than girls in thre…
