Abstract:

The popularization of academic spaces that combine Buddhist philosophy with the literature of the Romantic period – a discipline I refer to as Buddhist Romantic Studies – have exposed the lack of scholarly attention Samuel Taylor Coleridge and The Rime of the Ancient Mariner have received within such studies. Validating Coleridge’s right to exist within Buddhist Romantic spheres, my thesis argues that Coleridge was cognizant of Buddhism through historical and textual encounters. To create a space for The Rime within Buddhist Romantic Studies, my thesis provides an interpretation of the poem th

Abstract:

在國際文憑課程教學領域內，有關漢語A文學教學的研究剛剛起步。本研究探討中學項目九年級學生在文學教學過程中，初學文學評論的表現以及相關策略的運用。本研究以一所國際文憑組織成員學校中學項目九年級的學生為對象，通過問卷調查和小說單元的欣賞教學實驗及研究分析，發現： 1. 學生普遍具有閱讀文學作品的興趣，具備評價文學作品的意識。2. 文學教學促使一些學生突破以往閱讀思維的局限，視野更為開闊，更多關注作品所傳遞的更為豐富的文化信息以及作者駕馭作品的方式與技巧。3. 中文水準較弱和普通的一些學生，在文學評論的組織與表達方面尚有明顯不足。中文水準優秀的學生已經熟練掌握文學評論的寫作方法和技巧，能自如地聯係課外閱讀經驗，對不同作家作品進行比較、分析。據此結果，現時中學項目的漢語文學教學應該拓展閱讀面，增加知識積累，加強文學評論的寫作指引和訓練，為大學預科項目的文學學習做好銜接準備。 Little scholarship has been done regarding the teaching of “Language A Chinese" from the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO).

Abstract:

With the increased mobility of today's world, trans-border migration has become a common phenomenon. Immigrants bring their heritage languages and cultures to the host countries. The issue of heritage language maintenance becomes more and more significant. However, the issue has not received much research attention until recently and various research questions remain unanswered. This study attempts to fill a research gap by investigating the influence of Chinese grandparents on the Chinese development and maintenance of their preschool-aged grandchildren during their stays in

Abstract:

This dissertation investigates rhetorical theories and practices in Chinese cultural history. I examine the rhetorics that are explicit and implicit in Chinese philosophical, political, and academic theories and practices. Based on my case studies in Chinese history, I argue that rhetoric is a social, cultural, and historical construct, and rhetoric in the Chinese context is better understood as the study and practice of putting philosophy into social action for practical purposes. These case studies also illustrate that since assumptions about rhetoric are integrally related to particular cul

This qualitative study explores the relationship between Chinese students' practice of adopting and/or using an English name and their identities.

I understand participants' practice of adopting an English name as the result of the habits of adopting ming and zi in

This thesis aims to build a system to tackle the task of diagnosing the grammatical errors in sentences written by learners of Chinese as a foreign language with the help of the CRF model (Conditional Random Field). The goal of this task is threefold: 1) identify if the sentence is correct or not, 2) identify the specific error types in the sentence, 3) find out the location of the identified errors. In this thesis, the task of Chinese grammatical error diagnosis is approached as a sequence tagging problem. The data and evaluation tool come from the previous shared tasks on Chinese Grammatica

The rationale for introduction to works emerging from the Chinese diaspora is to enable students to situate their personal experiences within the context of different cultures, but on

Abstract:

The traditional literature teaching methods for Chinese English majors are formalism and biographical criticism. These criticisms use an objective approach focused on details about the author, historical context and literary mechanics to analyze literature. These methods neglect the fact that literature comprehension involves readers’ active participation. Cultural criticism, as a critical approach, considers influences that readers bring to their engagement with a given literary text. This approach is supposed to fit the classroom settings for cross-cultural literature teaching and learning.

Abstract:

兒童文學故事經典Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (以下簡稱Alice)創作於1865年的英國。在原著作者路易斯·卡羅爾（Lewis Carroll）筆下，故事主角愛麗絲展現了好奇勇敢、能思善辯、富有主見的兒童形象，她的漫遊奇遇詮釋了她由脆弱被動到強勢自主的形象轉變。1922年，愛麗絲藉由趙元任的Alice華文譯本第一次進入華文語境，由此展開她在華文地區（中國大陸地區、港澳台地區、新加坡和馬來西亞華人地區）迄今長達93年的旅行。旅程中，隨著譯本出現時間和地域的不同，被構建出的愛麗絲華文形象互不相同，構建這些華文形象的成人譯者亦扮演著不盡相同的角色。本研究以文學理論家愛德華·賽義德（Edward Said）的「旅行四階段」和「歷史與情境」論為基本理論框架，並融入比較文學形象學（Imagology）中「自我--他者」這一核心概念帶來的啟示，由此推導出符合「歷史與情境」且強調人為因素的關鍵概念，即由成人自我構建出的他者「兒童形象」概念。在上述理論架構引導下，本研究首先對1922--2014年間的338個Alice華文譯本的譯本特點和出現原因進行分析和闡述，勾畫出愛麗絲在四個華文地區兩段旅程五條路線的旅行全景，再以四個華文地區中的6個Alice華文譯本為個案代表，深入探討成人譯者在構建愛麗絲華語形象過程中採取的翻譯策略、方法和來自其他參與者（如出版者、繪圖師
